IN ST IVES
Once you’ve parked your car with us you won’t need to leave St Ives. Whether you want a relaxed beach holiday, a cultural discovery, a coastal path walk, a gentle meander through town or a food lovers getaway, St Ives has it all.
We are lucky to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country and even within St Ives all five of our beaches are unique, each with their own character, some are even Blue Flag!
St Ives has been a magnet for artists for many years, drawn by the unique light of our shores. 3 Porthminster itself was once the home of Charles Marriott (art critic and author) between 1903 – 1010. There are many galleries to explore, not least the Tate. The award-winning Porthminster Gallery is just a short stroll away and for something a bit special the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture garden is a must see to appreciate her sculptures dotted around town.
The South West Coast Path runs through St Ives and we are perfectly positioned for either the challenging but rewarding route to Zennor or the slightly less strenuous stroll to Carbis Bay and beyond. Alternatively go inland and take the pilgrim route of St Michael’s Way which leads you to St Michael’s Mount. Whatever you fancy we have plenty of maps and guidebooks to help you decide on a route.
Alternatively stay in St Ives and appreciate it’s wonderful restaurants and bars, there’s plenty of nightlife to be had!

We are ideally located for day trips out and always happy to recommend our favourites:
St Michael’s Mount – no trip to West Cornwall would be complete without a visit to this unique sight.
