About 1 Porthmeor Road
Just moments from the fine grain sandy beaches of Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Bamaluz and the Harbour, with all eateries and places to relax with your loved ones on your door step, 1 Porthmeor Road, a dog friendly holiday cottage, promises a family or couple the chance to unwind and relax without travelling any great distance.
1 Porthmeor Road is a perfectly located St Ives holiday cottage just a few steps from Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches and a short stroll to St Ives harbour. The house is in the heart of Downalong, so holidaying at 1 Porthmeor Road means everything is easily to hand whether you want to book surf lessons, have a BBQ dinner on the beach, casual strolls around the shops, while away time by having lunch with a view, catch up culturally by visiting a few museums or galleries and organise boat trips and stand-up paddle board hire too.
The house is spacious and comfortably accommodates a family of
six or two couples staying or provide a romantic retreat for a
couple. Shake off the sand from the beach and enter into the large
living area with wood burner (for the chillier winter nights)
through into the family-friendly dining and kitchen area. The
kitchen is fully-equipped for self-catering in St Ives and your
local deli on Norway Square or Fore Street offers plenty of Cornish
food goodies to stock up the cupboards. For coffee lovers amongst
you, there is a Nespresso coffee machine too so please bring your
stash of favourite coffee pods along with you! There is a
separate utility area with downstairs WC, a back door leads to an
enclosed courtyard with shower to rinse of the days surf and salty
toes and a perfect area for storing surfboards, bikes, wetsuits,
buckets and spades! On the first floor, there are two bedrooms with
a king size bed and twin beds and also the family bathroom with
bath, WC and separate shower. The second-floor bedroom has zip and
link beds so it can either be configured as a twin bedroom or a
super king size bed with over roof top views to the sea. Bring
along your dog too, they are very welcome (with a few house rules
to follow). There is free WiFi and good phone reception at 1
Porthmeor Road. There is a Smart TV and playstation PS3 (bring
along your own games) to keep the whole family entertained. Please
note, there is a travel cot available at the property, all you
would need to do is bring your own baby's bedding and linen. Please
request use of this if you need it and we will arrange it to be
left out for you.
Your nearest car park is on the Island in St Ives and is a
minutes' walk away. Alternatively the next nearest and fairly
large car park is on Barnoon and this is a 5 minute (uphill) walk
or the largest car park at the leisure centre is approximately a 15
minute walk away.
Moments from the sandy slipway to Porthmeor Beach, 1 Porthmeor
Road is also very close to Porthgwidden beach and therefore the
beach restaurant. St Ives harbour is a minutes' walk away and the
train station is a 10-15 minute walk away. The house is close to
all amenities, restaurants, pubs, surf schools, galleries etc yet
tucked back so offering peace during the evening and night, plus if
visiting with your dog, the all year round dog friendly beach
(Bamaluz beach) is only a few minutes' walk away.

An ideally situated house for the beach and to go into St Ives itself for pubs and shops. A spacious house with a lovely open plan kitchen / dining room so great if you cooking/entertaining with family / friends. Master bedroom is spacious with lovely super king bed. Added bonus of a small backyard with shower ; handy for coming in off the beach or if you have dogs.

The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your holiday. It really felt like a home from home. Just a very short walk to the beach which is perfect for families and surfers to enjoy. We even saw a beautiful seal there one afternoon! The cottage is very close to restaurants and shops in the town. We visited St Nicholas Chapel on the hill which is just a five minute walk away, the views from up there are breathtaking. The cottage has a little courtyard area with outside shower which was really useful. The cottage is a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the best of Cornwall. We hope to return again next year. Billie and Sam at Orange Roofs were very helpful with advice about anything we needed, nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend both Orange Roofs and this cottage.

An excellent property for our family, very spacious and everything was to a high specification. The outside space was especially useful and we enjoyed having our morning coffee chatting to passers by on the bench at the front. All the bedrooms were really spacious and the mattresses were just perfect - we all slept really well. Overall a great family home to use for a holiday which is well located for the beach and shops.

Thank you Orange Roofs for your excellent communication throughout. You were extremely thorough in giving us all the information as clearly as possible. Thank you also for the starter pack - milk ( for that much needed cuppa on arrival ) fudge and Prosecco! The house suited all our needs, it was very comfortable and well stocked. It was so convenient for everything - the beaches, the local store, the shops etc. Sadly, we didn't realise that all the restaurants, bars and pubs would be booked for weeks in advance but we compensated by having takeaways on the beach watching the sunset. We have stayed in St.Ives many times but this was by far our best find and we would love to return. Thank you!

1Porthmeor was perfect for our family, close to the beach and town. The house was clean and very well equipped. Bedding and towels were beautifully clean and the outside shower made coming from the beach so much easier. The team at Orange Roofs were great, helping us to arrange parking, keeping us up to date in relation to Covid 19 restrictions within the town and also making sure we had all the details in relation to check in times etc. The only downside were the seagulls, very noisy, they don't appear to need any sleep!! Looking forward to going back next year.

We stayed in 1 porthmeor Rd cottage for a week . And from booking to leaving we had nothing but great communications with Sam and the team. The cottage was a stone's throw from Porthmeor surfing beach which is a beautiful beach and has fabulous sunsets. Also a couple of minutes walk from the wharf,the town and porthgwidden beach. The cottage was bright spacious and spotlessly clean. And had everything in it we needed for a perfect weeks stay.also great that the dog was also welcome and the bonus of Bamaluz dog beach just a few minutes walk away Thanks Orange Roofs we cannot fault you. Highly recommend you x
