18) Windjammer
Wake up to the sound of gulls and the sea! Superbly situated on The Digey, Windjammer is a cottage just seconds from the popular surfing beach of Porthmeor. The quiet cobbled street the cottage overlooks is a level 2 minute walk to the centre of St Ives with its shops, restaurants and galleries. Built across 3 stories, Windjammer is a typical former fisherman's cottage, cosy and welcoming, the ideal place for families to stay. The cottage has a small garage which, due to the nature of St Ives, is some distance from the cottage.

"‘Windjammer’ is a great place to stay in St. Ives. Very central, close to beach and harbour, in the middle of a picturesque, narrow street. Cornish Riviera's staff were great hosts making our arrival and stay easy. Car parking outside town was included, which was very useful, as the centre is better for humans and seagulls rather than cars:-)"

The house is as described, with a good-sized sitting room and views to (and sounds of) the sea in the main bedroom. Good communication from the agency, nice and clean. Dishwasher a bonus, and heated towel rail to dry your swim stuff.

The cottage itself is a delightful place, which suited our family of three perfectly. Even though central, it’s lovely and quiet and the road it’s on has very little traffic. The Tate is just around the corner too. We’d love to come back"
