Number Six - in the heart of St Ives - with parking

Number Six is our much loved holiday home in the centre of St Ives. Everywhere is an easy walk. Situated in Mount Pleasant, it is only a couple minutes from Fore Street, The Harbour, and all the beaches. It is charming, stylish, and captures the essence of St.Ives, with our own small collection of original local and regional art on display.
Enter through the front door into the sitting-room, and then through an open doorway to the kitchen/dining-room, and outside, a little private patio, where there is enough space to hang out the wetsuits, and maybe have a coffee. The Kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need, and of course there is a dishwasher and washer / dryer.
Up the cottage stairs is the fresh and light bathroom (with a bath and a shower enclosure) and two chic bedrooms. The double is furnished with a gorgeous contemporary four-poster bed, and the second bedroom has twin beds. The house sleeps four people, has full central heating, and unlimited wireless internet and smart TV. The house is very central, yet quietly situated. The World renowned Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, run by the Tate Gallery, is just 100 yards down the lane, and we are close to all the local amenities, beaches and attractions. Number Six is an ideal base for a stay in St Ives, and the chance to enjoy a 'car free' holiday. There are amazing beaches, fantastic restaurants, and wonderful scenery all within a couple of minutes walk. All of our guests have enjoyed Number Six, and we have had wonderful feedback from them.
There are many rental properties in St Ives, but we like to say that Number Six is a real holiday Home, not just another rental. We are happy to accept ONE dog.

In the main season, we operate a FRIDAY changeover day, with weekly or fortnightly stays only, but try to be as flexible as we can at other times.

Parking is at a premium in St Ives, but we have a reserved space in Barnoon Car Park, above the Tate Gallery. It is the closest car park to us, and only a couple of minutes away.We strongly recommend that you book this on your booking form by ticking the 'Parking' box.

Lovely Easter Break
We had an amazing Easter weekend stay at this cottage! The cleanliness and layout of the cottage were exceptional and Michael and Juliet were available to assist with any queries we had. We were pleasantly surprised with the lovely goodies that were left for us, adding a nice touch to our welcome. The cottage was also perfect for hosting a family meal, as everything was easily accessible. The convenience of having most of the crockery go in the dishwasher was a real time-saver, and the well-designed kitchen made cooking much easier. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. While the wifi and reception were not the strongest, they were still manageable. This minor inconvenience aside, we honestly couldn't find any faults with this place. We brought our dogs along and enjoyed spending a significant amount of time outside with them, exploring the beautiful beaches (although we recommend reading the restrictions for dogs beforehand). St Ives is a fantastic destination for families, with its stunning scenery and delicious food options. Overall, it was a delightful cottage in a fantastic location, with breathtaking views. Yes, there is a steep hill to climb, but that is to be expected in St Ives. We highly recommend this cottage, It exceeded our expectations and would definitely choose to stay here again!

Stunning St Ives
Nice cottage, we enjoyed our stay, St Ives is just stunning! Good location, not far from all the main shops, cafes, pubs, and beaches! but on a very steep hill, not for elderly or unfit. Cottage could do with a bit of TLC, in need of painting in lounge and landing, also really in need of a new stair carpet. We will most definitely return to St Ives.

Just Perfect ☘️
Thank you so much. We had such a wonderful stay at Number 6 ♥️ The location is fabulous and the cottage is very well appointed. So handy to restaurants, cafes and bars. The list of local recommendations was great. We loved how the cottage was decorated with all the wonderful local artwork and pottery. We ended up purchasing some similar items as a reminder of our time in St Ives. We found the communication excellent and the check in and parking instructions easy to follow. We would highly recommend this property and absolutely loved our visit. It was perfect - thank you again. Natalie & Andrew

Lovely little cottage for our 1 week stay.
Communication between myself and the owners was excellent along with the directions to the cottage and the carpark. The place itself had everything we needed (apart from a pizza tray lol) we ate out apart from this one night. It had dishwasher tablets, washing capsules,washing up liquid, dishcloth, plenty of coat hangers (I always take extra as there never seems to be enough but I needn't have bothered) tea bags, hairdryer, plenty of towels, we didn't need to buy anything. Also had the basics, salt, pepper, vinegar. We were left scones,jam,cream and a pint of milk which was fab as we were gasping for a cup of tea when we arrived. The cottage is small but was big enough for the 4 of us plus our dog. The stairs are quite steep compared to what we're used to. The shower was amazing, very powerful. The location is perfect as it's so central (3 or 4 minute walk to the harbour) but it's on a very very steep hill. We're not old ourselves and would class us as decently fit but was puffing by the time we reached the door so maybe not ideal for those who struggle with mobility. The road where the cottage is, is extremely narrow. We pulled up, unloaded our things then went straight to the carpark. Having parking is an absolute bonus. We discovered a better way to walk to the carpark (not so much of a steep hill to climb) walk up the road when you come out and take your first right, then left,then right which brings you to a main road and you can see the sea. Turn right, walk down the road and you will see the carpark. Takes 5 mins, if that..found it so much easier, especially if you're carrying bags for the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at No.6.

Lovely cottage, perfect hosts
This lovely cottage is just as described, and we truly felt at home away from home. Michael and Juliet were such wonderful hosts, entertaining a million questions even prior to our arrival to ensure our stay was perfect. They were highly responsive when we awoke to no hot water, with their repair person literally knocking on the door within minutes of Michael receiving our message about it. We were welcomed with scones and made use of the Nespresso and milk that were made available to meet the day with a warm latte. I only wish we were staying longer, and we would definitely rebook if lucky enough to return to St. Ives. We had everything we needed and then some. Thank you Michael and Juliet!

Perfect stay !!
Number 6 is a little gem!! We have always stayed in hotels before and yet this visit we had our 25 year old son and a small dog in tow so renting a cottage made sense. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice as the cottage was extremely homely and absolutely pristine. The whole experience was seamless with Michael and Juliet who were the perfect hosts ensuring we had everything we needed and were happy with everything. Car parking options with the cottage is a huge asset especially I would imagine in high season as St Ives gets very busy . Attention to detail is apparent throughout the house ; White bedding and fluffy white towels made it a home from home experience alongside the gorgeous eclectic art . I would definitely without hesitation recommend staying at No 6 and will certainly return again !! Thankyou again Michael and Juliet

The cottage was Situated close to harbour and restaurants which was very convenient but the downside of this was finding the cottage and unpacking your car in a narrow street and having a neighbour a few doors up taking pictures of our car, this was stressful but having said that we enjoyed our stay in your little cottage x

No6 is tucked away within walking distance of everything St Ives has to offer. This pretty terraced cottage Is painted white throughout and beautifully decorated with really interesting paintings...shells and a four poster bed hung with fairy lights! Although most soft furnishings had been removed due to Covid the interior felt warm and cosy....a perfect spot to explore this part of Cornwall. Communication with Mike and Juliet ..the owners was exceptional.

Week in the sun in St Ives
We were very fortunate with the weather on our stay. The holiday was mostly about beach and surfing for our teenagers. As well as the beautiful beaches of St Ives we travelled to Sennen, Gwithian and Cape Cornwall. Lots of lovely meals enjoyed, particularly the Porthminster Beach Cafe. The cottage Is close to all beaches and the town. It is a very steep road so not suitable for all. Lovely to walk into town in the morning to the Yellow Canary for fresh pastries. We booked well ahead for the restaurants we wanted to go to but wish we had known about the cinema on Porthmeor beach. That looked great but we couldn’t get tickets. No problems with the house, it had everything we needed. Just wish the seagulls would be quieter in the morning!

Beautiful St Ives!
We've just come back from a relaxing and fun stay in St Ives. No.6 is the ideal cottage to stay in. A short walk from the beach and restaurants, we only used the car for day trips. As the cottage is in one of the residential lanes, it was very peaceful in the evening and during the day, you are surrounded by lovely neighbors. Micheal and Juliette were the perfect hosts with lots information before arrival and help as needed. We would definitely stay here again when we eventually return to St Ives.

From the moment we walked in, we felt really at home. The place is beautifully decorated with lots of lovely pictures and arty things. All the furniture was very comfortable especially the beds. You have everything you need in the Kitchen and also a good washer/dryer. You are very close to the shops /restaurants which are located just down the hill. The Cottage was very clean and tidy through out. It was lovely and we would very much like to return for another week sometime. Very pleased we picked Number 6 for our Holiday here.

Close to Fore Street which is just down the hill (remember that walking back up). Clean property, comfortable. We booked this as pet friendly, car parking space which is a 5 minute walk away. If you intend seeing more of the area having a reserved car parking space is a must. A nice place to stay and recommended.
