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

Arrived on cold & wet Friday afternoon. Property exactly as described. Overall we had a lovely stay although operating the heating was very difficult and we would have preferred the heavily stained carpet to have been cleaned (particularly on the landing). Quality of fixtures, linens and fittings was good. We took advice and purchased a parking permit for the rugby club which we recommend. Only thing missing was egg cups

There's not much of an outlook from this property, and the lack of a parking/loading area, even when loading/unloading correctly as per instructions, causes impatience from the locals which is unwelcome when wanting a stress free break. However, despite its size, the cottage is perfect for a short break for 2, spotlessly clean and close to beautiful beaches, a harbour and shops. From a purely subjective point of view, would recommend the capital letters for the wifi code to be underlined and information available on how to adjust the heating, as this would avoid first night stay confusion.

All facilities were good. Very nice welcome pack. Perfect for our dog too. Lovely area. Quiet and relaxing. St Ives is such a lovely place to stay in. Plenty to do even when weather isn't too good. We enjoyed our stay. No problems to report. Thanks to Chloe for her support when needed.

Super property compact but everything you need is there , parking of course an issue as you need to book space at local rugby club , uphill climb to car park not a lot of fun in the rain.
Otherwise no complaints regarding property , enjoyed our stay .
One small note suggest maintenance tighten up squeaking headboard.

This location in St. Ives is very nice to stay for two persons. Also our dog was welcome and this is a big plus for us. We only would recommend this location with a small dog like us. If you have a big dog the location is too small.
The location is 15 minutes walking to the centre of St. Ives so it is close by. St. Ives is build on a hill so walking back to the location is pretty hard. You have to have a good condition.
The two disadvantages of this location for us were: we couldn’t park our car at the location or nearby. There is a solution by parking at the Rugby Club but for us it was a bigger disadvantage than expected. And the bed was really too small. It isn’t a kingsize bed as mentioned. So we didn’t sleep as good as normal.
We want to give a big compliment to Chloe who was our contact person. She was very nice and answered very fast.

Hi Tamara, we are sorry you felt the house was too small, we do feel that the pictures and descriptions accurately describe the property, most one bedroom properties in central St Ives are small. We take on your feedback about the bed and we will amend how it is described in our listing. We are pleased that you received good customer service and we hope you choose to stay at any one of our Luxury Coastal properties again in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Lovely little house.
Much further up hill than we thought.
Everything you need except an ironing board.I think the place needs a good deep clean.
Very comfortable bed and you can see the sea from the bedroom window.the the upstairs carpet need changing or to have professionally cleaned as the stains are not very nice.and the fridge needs all the shelving taken out and be cleaned.

We had a wonderful stay at Spindthrift which is a great location for a dog friendly stay in st. Ives. It’s about a 10 minute walk downhill to porthmeor or the town centre and about 12/15 minutes back depending on how well you handle the hills!
The cottage itself is pretty, cosy and well equipped and we had everything we needed there. The only slight criticism we have is that the bed is perhaps past it’s best. It was very noisy every time you made a small movement which took a bit of getting used to.

What a gem of a place, very sweet and central. Lovely and comfortable had everything we needed for a couple of days.
Struggled to find it as it’s tucked away, could do with the sign being on the white fence facing the road as passed it and the lane gets very narrow.
Unable to access any internet so ideal if you are escaping technology.
Would return and recommend ….
