Spindrift, St Ives - an apartment that sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

This superb cottage with its amazing location above Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, is everything you could wish for from a boutiquey coastal bolthole for two. Beautifully furnished and tastefully styled, Spindrift Cottage is not only gorgeous to look at, but being above Porthmeor as well as a mere 10 minutes’ walk from St Ives’ restaurants, shops, Tate Gallery and harbour means it offers guests a rather unique combination of away-from-it-all quiet and at-the-centre-of-it-all buzz.

Airy and elegant, Spindrift Cottage’s interior is awash with natural tones and coast-inspired décor creating a calming atmosphere that tempts feet-up relaxation. The lovely living room is small yet perfectly proportioned and open plan with the kitchen where a breakfast bar doubles as the home’s dining area. Upstairs a luxurious master bedroom with it cotton linen and deeply comfortable bed tempts afternoon naps and long morning lie-ins, and form here guests can take in stunning views of Porthmeor Beach and the blue waters of St Ives Bay beyond.

What makes Spindrift Cottage really special then is the surprisingly spacious feel of the home as well as its fabulous sun-soaked private terrace, the quality of the space and facilities provided, and of course its spectacular location which is second to none, so for couples looking to escape to Cornwall’s magnificent west coast it simply doesn’t get better.

Besides a fabulous foodie scene and plethora of wonderful blue flag beaches, there are plenty of attractions in St Ives for those fabulous days out. The Tate St Ives perches right beside Porthmeor Beach, so you can take in some of that famous art scene and then step out onto the sand, or if you fancy a walk you’ll have many great coast paths to choose from including the 1.9km route to Carbis Bay. Further afield but easily reached by car lie the villages / towns of Lelant, Hayle and Gwithian, each with their own great atmospheres and fantastic sandy beaches.

*Please note that this property does not have room for a travel cot

Hills hills and more hills
Lovely little property,but great disadvantage of not having anywhere close to park. As pensioners we found it almost impossible to walk up and down every day. Also being woken at 5am on a Sunday morning by National grid working on the pole adjoining the property for over an hour,making a hell of a noise.

Nice little cottage
On arrival at the property we inadvertently parked to the side of the cottage due to vague instructions which we misinterpreted . Within minutes the neighbour bamged on the kitchen window and said he was fed up of arguing about people parking on the side of his drive. We assured him we wee not there to argue, and moved our Mini to the lane, under the bedroom window. There were no instructions inside other than a folder with restaurant recommendations and a one page intro to Spindrift. We settled in and found it a nice, cosy space, just as we had hoped. Went to run a bath, and found a splodge of shaving foam (including hairs) on the tiled surround . The heated towel rail switch has a loose connection, so doesn't stay on when you take your finger off the switch. That said, the bath, washbasin and loo were clean and the water nice and hot. Couldn't find any instructions on where to put rubbish, recycling, and no info re what to do with used towels, bedlinen etc. I texted the contact number I had bee sent, but no response, so left all the used towels in the bathtub. There is a (rust coloured) flannel or such tied around the bedroom radiator valve where it seems to have been leaking, and the bathroom doorcatch has been replaced with a Phillips screw. We had a very pleasant stay, but I felt the need to highlight these issues so they can be addressed. This is the reason I gave fours stars instead of 5.
