1 The Elms is a stylish property with contemporary features in a very central location with gorgeous sea views. Tucked away overlooking Trewyn Gardens and St Ives bay you will be close to shops, restaurants and the infamous beaches of St Ives, perfect for surfing, walks or family days out.
Open the Juliette balcony doors and breathe in fresh sea air and admire the sea view, the kitchen is great for cooking up a storm for your guests, and the absolute essential? Allocated onsite car parking.
1 The Elms has two double bedrooms, one ensuite and a family bathroom. The split level open plan living room has a fully equipped kitchen, granite worktops, soft comfortable sofas and a Juliette balcony with sea views.
1 The Elms has been set up as a quality holiday home for those seeking a good balance of location, peacefulness, quality and value.
1 The Elms is set inside an iconic historic building that was completely refurbished with three contemporary apartments around 2015. Set next to Trewyn Gardens The Elms has been stood proud for well over 100 years.
Allocated car parking for one car in the onsite remote controlled bollard car park.
You'll find lots of independent cafe's and shops nearby. We love the Cornish Deli for brunch, the butchers for the best pasty in town and the fact you're just a 4 minute walk to the harbour. Porthminster and Porthmeor beaches are around a ten minute walk.
We're also an ideal base for those seeking stays up to 4 weeks. Stays over 2 weeks will receive a complimentary linen and towel change.
Please note you will need to climb two external stair cases to access the front door of the apartment block (shared with one other property). You do have your own private internal front door.
All of the property.
We are local and know the area really really well and love to help our guests find the best places to eat, explore and visit. However, we recognise that most people holiday for a break and we aim to give our guests privacy. We might knock on to check all is ok but we're not there to hassle, pester or interfere.
On the other hand if you need us, we're here to help!
St Ives is a really special town. With a mixed history, it's an ancient fishing port that has developed into an artistic escape for many and is now one of the UK's best known holiday towns.
You'll find golden sand beaches with crystal clear waters, surfers love Porthmeor and there are at least 3 other beaches in a 10-15 minute walk from your front door.
Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Museum and Gardens are well worth a wander, both are in easy walking distance.
The food scene is excellent and you can expect more than just standard grub. From family friendly to the likes of Porthminster Beach Cafe which serve excellent food in a laid back beach side environment.
The Elms is close to St Ives train and bus stations (5-8 minute walks) but as it has parking a car is also really convenient to. We find many of our guests don't use their car during their stay as St Ives has lots to do, if this might be you, do consider the train.
We aren't on the notorious St Ives one way system so accessing the car park for The Elms is a bit easier than in other places in St Ives.
Everything in town is in walking distance.
There are some good local bus routes and we highly recommend exploring the renowned South West Coast Path.
Sofa bed may be available on request.
