About In-between Cottage
In-Between Cottage is a charming dog-friendly holiday cottage in the heart of St Ives, set on the cobbled lane of The Digey just moments from Porthmeor Beach, St Ives Harbour, shops, restaurants and galleries. Sleeping up to five guests across two bedrooms, this characterful self-catering cottage has two bathrooms, a warm outdoor shower and allocated parking at St Ives Rugby Club. With traditional features, comfortable modern interiors and up to two small to medium dogs welcome, In-Between Cottage is an ideal choice for couples or families wanting to explore central St Ives and its beaches on foot.
Kitchen & Dining
The well-equipped kitchen is on the ground floor and provides everything needed for a relaxed self-catering holiday in St Ives.
Facilities include an induction hob, electric fan oven, integrated microwave, tall fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washer-dryer.
A dining table comfortably seats up to five guests, making this a sociable space for breakfasts before the beach, family meals or relaxed evenings at the cottage.
Close to the entrance is a particularly useful storage area for shoes, coats, bodyboards, wetsuits, windbreaks, pushchairs and dog-walking equipment.
Living
Also on the ground floor is the cosy living room, with an L-shaped sofa providing a cosy space to relax together.
An electric flame-effect fire creates a welcoming atmosphere during cooler stays, while a Smart TV provides entertainment for quiet evenings at home.
There is also a small desk, offering a useful space for writing, drawing or catching up on anything that cannot quite wait until the holiday is over.
Bedrooms
In-Between Cottage has two bedrooms on the first floor.
The principal bedroom has a king-size bed, chest of drawers and a wall-mounted Smart TV. It overlooks picturesque Hicks Court and has its own en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom has two three-foot single beds and an additional pull-out trundle bed which can accommodate a smaller fifth guest.
There is plenty of hanging and drawer storage in the twin room, along with a wall-mounted Smart TV.
Please let Orange Roofs know if the trundle bed is required for your stay.
Bathrooms
The cottage has two bathrooms.
The principal king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room with shower, wash basin and WC.
Also on the first floor is the family bathroom with a bath, shower over, wash basin and WC.
Outdoor Space
A bench outside the front of the cottage provides a lovely place to sit and watch life along The Digey.
At the rear is a warm outdoor shower, ideal for rinsing sandy feet and children after a day at the beach, along with a hose for washing off sandy paws before heading inside.
There is no private enclosed garden or terrace, but with St Ives beaches and harbour so close, the coast is never far from the front door.
Parking
Guests have use of one allocated parking space at St Ives Rugby Club, approximately a twenty-minute walk from the cottage.
The walk back to the Rugby Club is uphill and may feel challenging for guests who are not accustomed to hills.
During busier periods, a shuttle bus usually operates between Tate St Ives and the Rugby Club, providing a convenient alternative to walking.
Once the car is parked, In-Between Cottage is so centrally located that St Ives can easily be explored on foot.
Dog-Friendly
Up to two well-behaved small to medium adult dogs are welcome, weighing no more than 18kg each.
Guests bringing a dog should provide their own dog bed, towels and throws, and dogs must be well behaved and well mannered within the cottage.
The rear hose is particularly useful for rinsing sandy paws after nearby beach and coastal walks.
Close to Beach
In-Between Cottage is ideally positioned for enjoying St Ives' beaches, harbour and town centre on foot.
Porthmeor Beach is just a short walk along The Digey, while St Ives Harbour and Harbour Beach are equally close in the opposite direction.
Porthgwidden and Bamaluz beaches are also within easy walking distance, with Porthminster Beach a little further around the harbour.
Tate St Ives, St Ives School of Painting, Fore Street, galleries, restaurants, cafés, bakeries, pubs and independent shops are all just a short stroll from the cottage.
Access
In-Between Cottage occupies the ground and first floors of a three-storey building. The apartment above has its own completely separate entrance.
The kitchen, dining and living areas are on the ground floor, with both bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor.
Guests therefore need to use an internal staircase to reach the bedrooms and bathrooms.
The cottage is located directly on the cobbled pedestrian lane of The Digey, in the heart of historic St Ives.

We had a fantastic week at In-Between Cottage. It was a great property for our family of four and we loved the location - close enough to porthmeor beach to be able to pop back for lunch, but also so close to town for shopping and restaurants. Having a second bathroom was a godsend (we have two daughters who spend hours getting ready!), as was the handy corridor / passage way where we kept all our beach stuff. The beds were incredibly comfy and we slept well. Overall, a comfortable and stylish cottage in a great location.

Stayed several times and will be back. Great location. Clean and well equipped. Allocated car park is a bit of a trek but worth it to be so central and so near beaches, restaurants and amenities.

We absolutely loved the location of the In-between cottage, it's perfect for taking a stroll into St Ives and visiting everything it has to offer. It was particularly great to be so close to the Harbour beach, literally a 1 minute walk away and we loved taking the kids down in the evenings for a stroll on the beach. We were close to restaurants, shops, cafe's, the arcade and beach, no where was out of reach, even with little legs in our family. The cottage itself was cozy and clean. We found that the information about the property was really useful and the kitchen was really well equipped. It was nice to relax in the living room area and watch people strolling down the Digey.

We stayed in the fabulously located Inbetween Cottage this June as 2 couples and couldn't be happier with our choice. The cottage is ideally situated half way along The Digey and is a short stroll to the beach or town. The cottage is beautifully decorated, equipped and maintained, spotlessly clean and catered for our every need. We will definitely return here again and will book through Orange Roofs who were only too happy to help with professional and courteous service throughout. A minor loo seat issue was resolved by a very efficient service and communication was excellent all round. I was glad to discover Orange Roofs and book direct with them, avoiding any booking fees from other huge online corporations. It's not so obvious from the photos that there is a back door with outside shower which is connected to the hot water plus a hose pipe for wet suits! We loved everything about the cottage and adore St Ives every time we visit. Thank you.

Awesome 2nd stay in this cosy cottage. We love the location so much, seconds from the beach, the harbour & the bakery! The outside shower for sandy feet & paws is a huge plus as is the passage from the back door - brilliant storage place for boards and wetsuits. We've already booked our 3rd stay & cannot wait to be back in St Ives in the comfiest beds we've ever had when staying away from home.

Really lovely, cosy cottage tucked away down the side of a
cobbled path. Clean, tidy and welcoming throughout with everything
we needed - the local produce was a really nice touch after a long
journey upon arrival. Location was fantastic being only a few mins
from the beaches and less than a min from the vast array of local
shops and boutiques. The only nuisance was a small ant problem
confined to the downstairs which took the shine off a relaxing long
weekend away from the kids!!
Note from the OR team: Thank you for flagging an issue with ants in
the kitchen during your stay. This has now been resolved by a
professional pest control team. We hope to welcome you again in the
future!

We had a lovely stay here, the children were delighted that they could go up the Digey for Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches and down the Digey for the Harbour and Porthminster beach. The location was excellent for the shops and restaurants and the car parking space was invaluable although the walk up to the Rugby Club is an experience (we were grateful for the shuttle bus). The holiday home itself is laid out beautifully, it's comfortable and suited a family of four very well. The side entrance with the outside shower and entry was invaluable for hosing off sand and stripping off wetsuits.

Perfect location - handy for all restaurants, amenities and beaches. House is well looked after, clean and comfortable. All appliances are quality and in good working order with necessary detergents etc available. This is a return stay for us, the last one over 2 years ago and the cottage has been clearly well looked after and maintained since. We will be back.

Excellent property - beautifully maintained. 30 seconds from Fore St and the shops - 1 min to Porthmeor beach....Whilst on a main walking route it was very quiet of an evening. Parking at the Rugby club with the Cottage really useful as parking gets more challenging each year. Wonderful stay and the property was wonderfully cosy - beds were excellent - thanks also for the food basics being available on check in. Also - the Orange Roofs app was superb!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at In-between cottage. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our self-catering stay. We loved the decor too! The location is wonderful as my husband has trouble walking very far, so he could manage to get to the harbour front and shops. We had some wonderful fish and chips from the Balancing Eel and a fantastic takeaway from the Thai Restaurant on the Harbour Front (TayAl)? We went out on the Coaster Bus, and the skills of the driver were amazing, going along the narrow roads were quite scary, but exhilarating! We wouldnt hesitate to go back to In-between cottage through Orange Roofs which we are very happy with, well done all!

A really gorgeous cottage in a perfect location for exploring St Ives, we've already booked to stay again! The Digey really is a great spot. The amenities and thoughtfulness in design features were hugely appreciated. Beds were super comfy & the showers were awesome. And the added facility of an outdoor shower was so handy for our beach days. The staff were all very helpful and really quick to answer questions. Thank you

Our second visit to In between Cottage and we were not disappointed. It's an old fisherman's cottage that has been done up to a high standard and is ideally situated for beaches and cobbled shopping area. We look forward to returning.

Well appointed cottage with everything we needed to enjoy our holiday and it was also spotlessly clean. It is right in the heart of St Ives and the beach and shops are only a minute away.

Loved this cottage it was perfect. Very well equipped and clean. Car parking space an added bonus in St.Ives although it is a distance from the property there are not a lot of parking options available in peak times. Would re-book an recommend to anyone. First time booked with orange roofs will not hesitate to use them again.

We have just had a brilliant week staying at in-between cottage. The accommodation its self is fantastic. Very modern, well equipped kitchen with everything you would ever need. The decor has a lovely sea side feel to it also. The location of in-between cottage couldn't have been better for us. Its a 2 minute walk away the from the harbour where you will find bars, restaurants, ice creams etc. leaving the property and turning left would have you at porthmeor beach in 2 minutes. We stayed beginning of Aug, if the weather is clear at night you must go there to watch the sunset. It really is a beautiful place. If I was to be critical about anything it would be the parking space provided with the accommodation. It's at the st ives rugby club. It's a 15 min walk from accommodation to the rugby club but it's all up hill. Plan your luggage drop off and departure. I would highly recommend and will be booking again myself if we decide to return.

We had 4 nights stay at In-between cottage and EVERYTHING was great! The house is very clean, well decorated, the towels and bedding all good quality, the kitchen is also very well equipped. The location was perfect for walking around the town. You have the sea a few minutes one side and the harbour a few minutes the other. We will definitely be back - Thank You!

Great attention to detail in the property with quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Both bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms well fitted. Smart TV in all rooms was very good. Kitchen was finished to a high standard and some lovely welcome gifts were a nice touch, including a delicious saffron cake. The check in and check out is very simple with the use of the app and key safe. Location was great in the middle of the town; though quite noisy late at night and early in the morning from people and traffic flow

InBetween cottage was perfect in location, comfort and facilities. Loved walking the dog on all the fabulous beaches. The booking process was simplicity itself and the support we received from Billie, Torrie and Charlie before and during our stay, was excellent. Thank you, we would love to stay again.

Our family of three all loved this little retreat, such a great location and the warm shower outside the back door was brilliant for those sand-covered returns from Porthmeor beach (which is great for surfing/bodyboarding and only 150 metres walk away. ) Wetsuit hanging space was a huge bonus. And the property is seconds from the shops of Fore Street too, but without the noise. We dropped off our luggage then drove to the parking space, but unless you love driving St Ives' narrow streets I'd recommend getting a taxi to take you and luggage from the parking space to the property, only costs £4 and well worth it. Everything provided, great furnishings/decor/comfy beds. We all agreed we would stay here again!

We thought that the In Between cottage was excellent. The decor was lovely and everything we needed was provided. The location is extremely convenient and we were within easy walking distance of shops, the beaches, Tate, Barbara Hepworth and the restaurants of St Ives. The only negative was the difficulty of parking close by as St Ives was so busy even in October outside school Holidays. We were grateful to have the designated Orangeroofs parking space at the rugby club but that is 15/20 minutes walk away up hill.

The cottage is in an excellent location on The Digey, midway between Fore Street and Porthmeor beach, perfect for watching the world go by. It is beautifully decorated and has all of the amenities you would need. The beds are comfortable and having an en suite as well as a bathroom is a bonus. The whole process, from booking to checking out was easy and well managed by orangeroofs.

We loved staying in In-Between Cottage. The owners have thought of everything and we were left needing nothing at all! Wonderfully furnished with clear attention to detail, the cottage allowed us to rest between being out and about in town. In-Between is perfectly placed to explore St Ives being between all the beaches, restaurants, galleries and shops. At night as the footflow slows, the outside chair is a great spot to just sit and wind down. All in all if you want to be in the middle of the action in a quality cottage, then this is the cottage for you.

In-between cottage we are in love with you!!! I looked at this cottage on line over and over wondering if to book and finally did and my goodness am I glad we did. I adore it. It is beautifully decorated and everything seemed brand new and spotlessly clean. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, it was ideal for our family. The position is PERFECT, whichever way you step out you can be at a beach in 3 minutes, the shops and restaurants in 30 seconds... it's my 3rd time to st ives and this is where I'll re-book. I slept so well, the bed was comfy the shower was great, its just really was great. I really don't have anything negative to say, only a couple of things could have brought utter perfection and that is: A soap holder in the en-suite shower. A full length mirror in the main bedroom (there is one in the 2nd bedroom) Some hooks on the bathroom doors as an extra place to hang towels etc. And that's it! Everything else was perfect. Been as you are so central parking is an issue... we had our spot at the rugby club which is a steep hill if walking, we used to get a taxi from bumbles tea rooms on the day we wanted the car and it was about £5, but we only needed the car a couple of times so really wasn't an issue. The little gifts left was such a lovely touch, biscuits, cake, eggs, butter etc.. I kept telling anyone who would listen how happy I was to be there!! Don't hesitate to book this beautiful little cottage, it's divine x
