This traditional 4-storey cottage is a true taste of traditional St Ives. Mermaids Rest is a charming granite cottage, tastefully furnished with original wooden floorboards throughout and white painted walls and rafters. Located in the conservation area of Downalong, it is literally seconds away from the beautiful Harbour beach and a couple of minutes' walk from the surfing paradise of Porthmeor.
