5 Bethesda Hill

This beautiful cottage has so many characterful features where the owners have retained its coastal holiday cottage beauty as well as offering a warm welcome and plenty of comfort for your holiday. It's not a modern white box with super slick fixtures and features, it has an authentic St Ives holiday cottage feel where you will feel immersed in the St Ives life. Walk into the slate-floored kitchen off the cobbled pedestrian lane outside with open shelving on the wall and a hand-crafted wooden kitchen and cement worktop. It comes with an under-counter fridge with a freezer compartment, dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob and microwave. Fancy a cuppa? Take your time and pop the Le Creuset kettle on the gas hob while taking a seat at the dining table with two benches that seat 4 people. The AEG washing machine is in an understairs cupboard in the kitchen. On this floor, there is a bathroom with a smaller size tub (but perfect for little people!) with a rain shower head over. Look up when in this bathroom and enjoy the sunlight flooding through the stained glass window. On the opposite wall is a feature wooden wall which offers a warm tone to the bathroom. The warm feeling will also be offered by the very large towel radiator. There is also a large wash basin and WC in this ground-floor bathroom.

Head up to the first floor via the wooden staircase to the living room with its large sofa wrapping the room up in a great big embrace. There is plenty of room to stretch out and relax while reading or watching the Smart TV with Apps so you can log in to watch your favourite programmes. There is an Alexa Bluetooth speaker to play your own music through plus a small selection of games like Scrabble and Guess Who? Another flight of wooden stairs takes you to the bedrooms and the second bathroom. As you reach the landing, being a typical St Ives cottage where nothing is perfectly straight or even, there are a few steps down into the bathroom that has a large walk-in shower, WC, towel radiator and wash basin. From that same landing, a few steps down takes you into the second bedroom that has a small double bunk bed. The bottom bed is a 4ft small double and the top bunk is a 3ft single. There is a chest of drawers and wooden pegs for hanging clothes. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with a beautiful loft ceiling with wooden rafters and Velux windows allowing light to stream in (when you want it!). There is a built-in wardrobe, bedside tables, a window seat, chest of drawers and a king-size bed.

To recap, 5 Bethesda Hill is a dog-friendly holiday cottage in St Ives. It is in the very heart of this coastal town. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a ground-floor kitchen and a first-floor living room. The bedrooms and one of the bathrooms are on the second floor. There is also a ground floor bathroom with WC. There are stairs leading up to and throughout the cottage so not suitable for guests unable to tackle stairs. This cottage is perfect for couples wanting to be within moments of St Ives beaches, shops, coffee and cocktail bars, restaurants and galleries yet want a peaceful cottage location. It's also perfect for small families who want to use a cottage as a fabulous beach base. Towels and bed linen are provided but please bring your own beach towels. One dog is allowed to stay at this cottage but it must be 10kg or less and have impeccable manners. From May 1st 2024, guests enjoy the use of one allocated parking space at St Ives Rugby Club which is a 20-minute walk from the cottage. Please note, shuttle buses run between the car park and Porthmeor Beach frequently between Easter and October.

Important notice, the sofa has feather-filled sofa seats so not suitable for guests with a severe feather allergy.
