Description
Tucked away on one of St Ives’s narrow pedestrian-only side streets, Sea Pebble is an old fisherman’s cottage that has been in the same family for 2 generations. Sympathetically modernised to retain the original layout of rooms and set over 4 floors, this cottage feels like the loved family home it is. Retaining features such as the original Victorian entrance tiles and wooden beams in the sitting room, Sea Pebble has a charm all of its own. As if encouraging you down to the sea, the kitchen floor slopes gently towards the back door – this quirky feature being the last reminder of a time when the room was one of St Ives' world-famous pilchard presses. Step outside the back door and you’re only a few yards from The Harbour.

23) Sea Pebble
The cottage was as described. There was one feature that should be considered. It was a fisherman’s cottage built a long time ago and therefore had steep stairs to the kitchen and bedrooms that could be an issue for some people. The cottage was very close to the restaurants and shops in the centre of St. Ives which was great. The cottage was in a very quiet location in spite of being close to the centre of St. Ives. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
October 10, 2023Fabulous base in a great location. Lots of little passageways to explore which the children loved. Very convenient for the beaches and the harbour and local shops and restaurants. Short walk to Porthgwidden beach and the Island car park. Lovely view from the upstairs bedroom over St. Ives harbour. Well equipped including beach equipment for the children. Very cosy to come home to in the evenings. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
