2 The Coach House

No detail has been spared with this contemporary apartment and it capitalises on using all of its natural lighting. The vaulted ceilings with the exposed wooden beams ensure that the apartment basks in light throughout the day and adds a sense of space to an already spacious open plan living area, dining room and kitchen. Your dining area and table offers the perfect setting for a family meal, intimate dinner for two, or an ideal board game battle ground. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need for a self-catering stay, with all the necessary integrated appliances such as a dishwasher, induction hob, oven and washer/dryer. As well as all the other amenities you'll need for cooking up a feast, all pots, pans and crockery are ready and waiting for you. For the coffee lovers, you have a Nespresso coffee machine in the apartment.

The living room provides you with a stylish and comfortable area to sit and enjoy the sun on a hot day, with the patio doors open, or a space to curl up and read a book on those stormy afternoons. With two sofas you're not short for space when the whole family want to nestle down around the Smart TV and enjoy a film or two. At 2 The Coach House there is a Coach House Netflix account you are able to use as well as a Sky TV Essentials package with 300 channels you can choose from, so we're sure there will be something for everyone! If you're looking for a bit of pre-dinner music or some getup-and-go at breakfast, you're able to connect your phone/iPod/iPad via Bluetooth. Everything you need right at your fingertips, now that is what we call easy relaxing!

On the opposite side of the living room/dining area are your next set of patio doors that lead you to your second outdoor area. This is a sheltered private space with outdoor seating and it is another great space to sit and enjoy an evening drink or a morning coffee whilst soaking up your St Ives holiday home experience.

Off the kitchen area are the two bedrooms; one is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and the other is a twin bedroom with sea views from a side window. Please note, if you intend to bring your own travel cot or hire one, the bedrooms are quite small and so you may need to move the beds to suit your own family needs to accommodate the cot. The luxurious shower room is ample with a large shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. 

From the apartment itself, you can access the South West Coastal Footpath that leads directly to Porthminster beach in one direction or Carbis Bay in the other. It takes just 5 minutes to get to Porthminster beach following the path down to the coastline. If you prefer walking along the pavement into St Ives town, the walk to the Malakoff takes between 5 to 10 minutes depending how many times you stop to enjoy the view! If you prefer to take the bus down to the town (or back up if the walk seems too much after a day of sun and swimming), there is a bus stop just a few strides from the apartment itself. 2 The Coach House is very conveniently located on the main road into St Ives.

As the Blue Flag awarded Porthminster Beach is a very short walk along the coast path, this also means that the amazing Porthminster Beach Restaurant is equally as close. This much-loved establishment in St Ives offers a wonderful dining experience, perfect for special occasions. They're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as coffee, cakes and cream teas. We would recommend booking ahead to ensure you get to eat here, with some of the freshest seafood available, it is a must. Not only are you sure to have a great meal, there are some pretty excellent sea views too.

Your closest dog friendly beaches to 2 The Coach House are Bamaluz Beach in St Ives, or Porthkidney beach, a very short drive away, in Lelant. Bamaluz Beach is a little smaller and changes size with the tide, it also has steep stair access but is ideally located in the centre of town. Porthkidney Beach does not have any facilities such as a café or toilets but it offers miles and miles of golden sand for the dogs to enjoy. The other beaches in St Ives such as Porthmeor, Porthminster and Porthgwidden have seasonal beach bans which means dogs are only allowed on them at certain times of the year.

If golf is your thing, you are quite literally on the doorstep of Tregenna Castle's 18 hole course with what must be the best views ever. They also have tennis courts and an outdoor pool as well as Spa treatments too so all the family can be entertained and kept fully St Ives relaxed! Another place to enjoy Spa treatments is at St Ives Harbour and Spa hotel which is a very short walk from 2 The Coach House. You can sit on the huge terrace with coffee or cocktails and watch the sunset before heading into town to try any one of the of restaurants serving fresh and local food. Remember, book ahead to avoid disappointment!

2 The Coach House sits next to 1 The Coach House and so, if you are a large family or group of friends needing accommodation for 10 and up to four parking spaces, please do enquire how to book both properties together.
