Neptune Cottage, St Ives, is a captivating former fisherman's cottage brimming with authentic Cornish character in the heart of the historic Downalong quarter. The kitchen area provides everything needed to prepare delicious meals, featuring an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher.

Step outside to discover a charming small courtyard at the front, complete with a bistro set perfect for morning coffee before exploring. The cottage offers three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms across its three levels: two peaceful double bedrooms on the first floor, one boasting lovely lighthouse views, and a delightful twin room tucked away in the second-floor eaves with enchanting views across St Ives Bay. The family bathroom with shower over bath ensures comfort for all guests.

Neptune Cottage, St Ives, places you perfectly within the town's most atmospheric quarter, surrounded by whitewashed cottages and independent boutiques leading to the picturesque harbour. The golden sands of Porthminster Beach lie just 200 metres away, ideal for family fun with its sheltered waters and soft sand perfect for sandcastle adventures. Art enthusiasts will delight in the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (1 km), showcasing the renowned artist's studio and unique outdoor sculptures in an inspiring setting.

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth (46 km) offers engaging maritime heritage exhibits including interactive galleries showcasing Cornish boat-building traditions and the county's seafaring history. This is followed by Pendennis Castle (48 km), Henry VIII's impressive Tudor fortress featuring well-preserved battlements, historic coastal defences, and spectacular panoramic vistas across Falmouth harbour and the English Channel. Families will enjoy Newquay Zoo, a 50-kilometre drive away, which houses diverse animal exhibits from around the world alongside important conservation projects protecting endangered species.

The historic town of Camborne, just 21 kilometres away, reveals Cornwall's fascinating industrial past through its rich tin and copper mining heritage, with engine houses and mining monuments dotting the landscape. Meanwhile, Truro, the elegant county capital located 43 km from your base, offers holidaymakers a delightful blend of Georgian architecture, excellent shopping opportunities along its charming streets, and diverse dining experiences ranging from traditional Cornish pubs to contemporary restaurants.
