A Message from the owner
This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the coast, sitting on the deck or if cooler, behind the patio doors. After busy days on the beach, walking the South West Coast path, or exploring further afield there is nowhere better than watching amazing sunsets over St. Ives from the balcony of this coastal retreat. I hope you have an enjoyable stay. The owner
