On foot, it is only 60 seconds from the beach to the cottage itself but to load and unload a car, you must park briefly on the road at the beginning of Porthmeor Beach. This is a recognised local custom. Upper Meadow cannot be accessed directly by car – there are two short flights of steps (six steps in all) along the path and leading up to the front door of the property. Barnoon car park is further up the hill.
Two dogs are welcome.
Private Parking: Available for one car at The Green House. The space is located in The Digey Garage and is suitable for medium-sized cars – Space dimensions 4.01m long and 1.82m wide and 2.0m high.
We enjoyed our stay, the location is perfect. Right by the beach and by the town centre. Make sure to book the parking if you’re driving. We didn’t but luckily there was a space in a long stay car park nearby and it was very cheap. But the car park gets extremely busy and we could have easily not gotten that space. Highly recommend the closest coffee shop too (St Eia coffee) – best coffee in st Ives.
April 2, 2024Fantastic location by Porthmeor beach. Best beach in Britain and why all those artists moved to St Ives. Property small traditional 2 up 2 down but with lots of equipment and touches to make holiday great.
September 16, 2023Very much enjoyed St Ives and the accommodation – wouldn't hesitate to book it again in future.
