About Artist's Light
Artist’s Light is a luxury dog-friendly holiday apartment in the heart of St Ives, sleeping up to six guests across the main apartment and a separate lower-ground-floor annexe. Set just moments from St Ives Harbour Beach, this beautifully renovated property offers wonderful harbour views, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and allocated parking at St Ives Rugby Club. With Fore Street, galleries, restaurants, cafés and shops directly outside, plus easy access to Porthmeor and Porthminster beaches, Artist’s Light is ideal for families, couples or friends wanting stylish self-catering accommodation in central St Ives.
Kitchen & Dining
The spacious kitchen sits at the front of the main apartment and overlooks Fore Street through two large sash windows, creating a bright and welcoming place to cook, dine and watch St Ives life below.
It is well equipped for self-catering stays, with integrated appliances, a dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee machine.
The property also has a separate utility room on the ground floor with a washing machine and tumble dryer, making longer stays particularly convenient.
Living
The first-floor living room enjoys wonderful uninterrupted views across St Ives Harbour towards Smeaton's Pier and its lighthouse.
A large G Plan swivel chair is perfectly positioned beside the window for watching the changing tide, while two comfortable sofas provide plenty of space for relaxing together.
There is a Smart TV where guests can log into their own streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, as well as access catch-up television.
A desk area also provides a useful spot for drawing, writing or working during your stay.
Blackout and sound-reducing shutters help create a more peaceful environment despite the apartment's central Fore Street location.
Bedrooms
There are two bedrooms in the main apartment.
The principal bedroom has a super king-size bed, harbour views and an en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom has two two-foot-six-inch single beds which can be joined together to create a king-size bed in width. Please let Orange Roofs know your preferred arrangement before arrival.
This bedroom also features a high Velux window within the vaulted ceiling, operated electronically.
The third bedroom is located separately in the annexe and is described below.
Bathrooms
The main apartment has two bathrooms.
The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room with a large overhead shower, wash basin and WC.
The family bathroom has a freestanding bath with handheld shower attachment, as well as a separate walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.
A third bathroom is located in the separate annexe.
Annexe
The lower-ground-floor annexe is located just off Custom House Passage, less than twenty seconds' walk from the main apartment.
It is completely separate from the main accommodation and has its own private entrance, so we recommend it for adults or older teenagers rather than younger children.
The annexe has a flexible bedroom with two three-foot single beds which can be joined to create a super king-size bed in width. Please confirm your preferred arrangement before arrival.
There is also an en-suite shower room with wash basin and WC, a television with Chromecast for streaming, and a small pantry area with a kettle and mini-fridge.
There is no internal access between the main apartment and the annexe.
Outdoor Space
Artist's Light does not have a private garden or terrace, but its central location places St Ives Harbour Beach and the waterfront within moments of the front door.
Custom House Passage provides a particularly quick route from the property towards the harbour and beach.
With the sea, beaches, harbourfront and Fore Street all so close, St Ives itself becomes your outdoor space.
Parking
Guests have use of one allocated parking space at St Ives Rugby Club, approximately a fifteen to eighteen-minute uphill walk from the property.
The walk may feel challenging for guests who are not accustomed to hills, but the allocated space provides the reassurance of guaranteed parking throughout your stay.
Once parked, the central location means St Ives can be explored almost entirely 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 apartment.
The central location also makes it easy to head straight out for walks around the harbour, town and surrounding coastline.
Close to Beach
St Ives Harbour Beach is just moments from Artist's Light, making this an excellent choice for guests who want to stay close to the sea.
Porthmeor Beach and Porthminster Beach are also within easy walking distance, while Fore Street, galleries, independent shops, cafés and restaurants are directly outside.
The property is also conveniently positioned for Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and the wider Downalong area.
Access
The main entrance to Artist's Light is directly from Fore Street.
After entering at ground-floor level, an internal staircase leads to the first-floor main apartment.
The annexe is completely separate and is accessed via its own entrance from Custom House Passage, approximately twenty-five steps or less than twenty seconds away.
Because the annexe is not internally connected to the main apartment, it is best suited to adults or older teenagers.
A fixed stair gate is provided within the main apartment.

Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again soon. One of the best properties we've stayed in in St Ives

We love Artists Light. It has everything and is brilliantly equipped. Comfortable beds, lots of large towels and very powerful showers. One side is 'busy busy' and you can watch Fore (High), Street comings and goings. The other side is peaceful with gorgeous views over St. Ives Bay to Hayle, Towans and Godrevy. No need to walk more than five minutes for any type of cuisine. We loved our first stay there and are intending to book for a longer stay next year. I trust that the broadband will be more stable by then. Be aware that the coffee machine is not Nespresso but L'Or and takes giant capsules. That is our favourite coffee and a great way to start the day. Excellent support from Orange Roofs who are just an email away.

We love staying at Artist light. The location is brilliant. You're right in the buzz of it all, have amazing harbour views - making it super easy to pop in and out during different parts of the day. We love staying in the centre as you really get to go and experience the very best of st Ives from sunrise to sunset! The flat is bright and lovely and spacious. On one side you get to see people enjoying fore street and the other side you get to watch the ever changing harbour. It's perfectly kitted out with everything you need it the kitchen and gorgeous decor throughout. The team at orange roofs are really friendly and helpful if you ever need anything! We can't wait to come back!

We had a brilliant stay at Artists Light. The apartment was lovely and clean, spacious and really well equipped. The Annexe room was perfect for our older teenagers and the locations was fantastic. 5 mins walk to both our favourite beaches.and a lovely welcome pack. The parking space at the rugby club was a bonus and we decided to taxi our gear down in the afternoon as its a busy street so decided to leave it to the professionals! Also managed to find a taxi to take us back up early on leaving day so we could be away nice and early. Communication with orange roofs was brilliant throughout and instructions for the apartment were clear. Would highly recommend this place to stay and would book here again.

Absolutely perfect as always. Spotless, fully equipped for every need. Spacious, airy, bright and comfortable. Amazing views of harbour and people watching on Fore street. Now feels like home from home. The orange roofs team, Billie, Torrie and Kat ensure you have everything you need. Now feels like booking through a friend.

An absolutely fabulously located property. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the views to the harbour (and people watching on Fore Street) were amazing. All facilities were in excellent condition and it felt like very good value as well. We had a great time and St Ives is a wonderful town.

We loved Artist's Light, it's right in the heart of St Ives. We didn't get in the car once the whole week. We got the train further along the coast on one of the days and lovely coastal walks in both directions. The apartment is above shops but is quiet. Great sea view, lovely decor and spacious. We found Orange Roofs very efficient and professional.

Fantastic spacious apartment, fitted to a high standard, right in the heart of St Ives. Well designed with the kitchen at the front overlooking the hustle and bustle of Fore Street, with the 2 bedrooms and lounge at the back (where it was very quiet), overlooking the harbour. We loved being able to step out of the front door amongst the shops and eateries and only moments from the beach. For us the advantages of being in town far outweighed the car being 20 mins away up the hill at the rugby club. Great beds, great showers and fantastic views of the harbour and bay…hard to drag yourself away from! Finally, the annexe… the perfect bolthole for 2 teenage girls wanting some independence. Equally high spec, without the views. Loved it so much….we will be back!

Perfect house for our stay in Cornwall, well presented house with everything we needed. The older children benefited from the annex. The high street location was ideal but busy, particularly on weekend evenings. Highly recommended

Artists Light was perfect for our 2 family holiday. The Annex was fab for our teenagers who loved the separate space, and we all loved the views from the spacious lounge and the amazing kitchen overlooking the quaint shopping street. Great location for shops and beaches. We'll be back!

Fantastic apartment right in the heart of St Ives. Light and airy, very well equipped - would recommend. It should be noted that there are no windows in the annexe room- it is very much a basement room and separate from the main apartment - you can only access main building via an outdoor passage, but it's beautifully done and very comfortable. **Management comment - Dear guests, please note there is a window in the annexe, it is high up and has noise-proof shutters which can be opened and closed if needed.**

This is the 3 rd consecutive year we have booked our annual family holiday in St Ives.As always Orange Roofs make the whole process easy and pleasurable.The standard of properties on their website is well above average- we have been going to St Ives for over 15 years! Booking is easy, payment is straightforward and you are looked after and communicated with regularly both before and if necessary during your holiday. We have started at Artists Light the last 2 years as it has great space for all our adult children nd their partners and a dog.Very high standard accommodation in the Centre of St Ives close to shops and all beaches.Cannot recommend Orange Roofs and Artists Ligt highly enough.

Second time at Artists Light. An amazing dual vista property with so much room. From the people watching on Fore St to the comings and goings of the harbour. Well appointed throughout. A bit of fun dropping off luggage and stuff on Fore St on check-in / check-out. Just do it later in the afternoon and early in the morning. Lastly, I'm not coming to St Ives without booking through Orange Roofs. Their customer service, detail, app and response are second to none.

Artist's Light was everything we expected and more. From the moment we let ourselves in we settled and relaxed immediately. From the time looking out to sea from the lounge, to looking down on the bustling high Street from the kitchen windows. The property has a wonderful ambience, is presented to a very high standard, with amazing light and decor, and everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we all had amazing night's sleep. The hallway was very useful for leaving items downstairs that we used daily. Having access to parking was extremely helpful, however I must confess with this property and St Ives I didn't need to move my car all week. We loved the location nestled within the shops and restaurants, and although Fore Street can get very busy, once you were back in Artist's Light you had your own piece of tranquillity. We enjoyed Artist's Light so much we've already booked to come back over Christmas/New Year.

This is our 4th stay at 'Artist's Light', as we love this property so much! The decor is beautiful, all the fittings of highest quality, very well maintained, and everything that you need for a really comfortable 'home away from home' feel, has been thought of and provided. The views from the lounge and main bedroom across Harbour beach to Smeatons pier are simply stunning! The annexe down the alleyway is a whole extra appartment, so easily caters for another couple or teenagers/older children to be able to stay in. Thankyou to the owners for providing such a lovely property to stay in and to Orange Roofs who are always such a pleasure to deal with

Artist's Light was possibly the nicest rental we have ever stayed in... Anywhere. It was immaculate in every way and had every thing you could need. The attention to detail was second to none, and the bonus of a self contained annex made it perfect. This is the first time we've used Orange Roofs too but we will return to both.

Artist's light is in a great location on Fore Street to
access all St Ives has to offer. The kitchen/dining area was very
large and well equipped looking over Fore Street. There were
brilliant views from the living room and one of the bedrooms and
the lounge had loads of comfy seating. Everything was very clean
and the bedding/towels were good quality.
The property is well decorated and they have thought of many
things you might need while away including; hot water bottles,
games, books, nespresso machine, fans etc. It is also really handy
having a washing machine and tumble dryer!
It was a little noisy on some evenings, but with the
windows/skylights closed it's hardly noticeable and that's a small
price to pay for the convenient location.
There was plenty of space for us to park outside the property
to load and unload and the parking was okay with about a 25 minute
uphill walk to the Rugby Club.
This is our second time staying in an Orange Roofs Property
and we have been impressed both times with both the property itself
and the customer service. Would highly recommend staying with
Orange Roofs.

Great location for accessing all the bars restaurants and
of course the fantastic beaches in St Ives. It was just such a
benefit to be able to access the property on the doorstep every
morning and evening.
Plenty of room, really well equipped in the kitchen and
around the house. A bonus was a better than expected view of the
harbour beach from both bedroom and the living
room.
Very comfortable seating areas and firm beds with good
quality linen.
A bit of noise on Friday and Saturday nights with the
merriment going up and down fore Street but to be honest we didn't
mind that and it winds down quite quickly at about midnight. And
with the windows closed it's not so bad.
Without any air conditioning in the summer the flat can get
very hot and can make sleeping a bit difficult unless you're happy
with the seagulls at four o'clock in the morning and have the
windows open
Parking worked ok for us it takes about 20 minutes to walk
up and down from the rugby club. We were able to park opposite both
on arrival and departure and load our stuff from and to the
car
Would recommend.

Artist's Light is a delightful property, tastefully decorated and really well equipped with the perfect view - watching the sea and boats from the sitting room and people watching in Fore Street from the kitchen. This is our second Orange roofs property and we have been really impressed both times, not only with the property , but also with the customer service and care and information. A great experience all round.

We had a lovely long weekend staying at Artists light. The apartment location couldn't have been better. The apartment was really well laid out with lots of space which can be unusual for St Ives. We made use of the annexe and this worked really well for our family. Highly recommended.

This was our second visit to Artist's Light and it was every bit as good as the first. It's so lovely to be right in the middle of St. Ives with just a short stroll to anywhere. The apartment is stunning and the views never fail to please.

Artists light was amazing. Super clean, quality bedding & towels and everything you can possibly need for a great holiday. Location was ideal for us as we didn't want to drive anywhere and could enjoy a few drinks out with a short stroll back. Living spaces are bigger than they look, so perfect for socialising in a group. Orange Roofs we're extremely professional and replied to any emails promptly. We will be back!

Wow, what an amazing place! So big and spacious, extremely comfortable, perfect location, well equipped (turns out I didn't need to bring my Nespresso machine from home ) clean and beautifully furnished. We had a baby stay with us so the travel cot, high chair, childrens plates, cups, bowls, safety plugs, books, games, toys were great. They even had a sippy cup in case you forgot your own! Just missing a safety gate at the top of the stairs but I can see it would be difficult due to the design/shape of the wall and location of the radiator/pipes in the hallway. We just kept the doors shut which was fine. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms beautiful. The master bedroom didn't have any draw space but we managed to fit our 'draw stuff' in the shelves at the side of the wardrobe so all good. The kitchen and dining area overlooks Fore Street, from one floor up, we opened the windows during the day and would relax with a morning coffee and listen to the hustle and bustle below. I did wonder if noise would be an issue at night (we've stayed at properties on Fore Street before and found the pubs noisey at night), but Artists Light was perfect, we didn't hear a thing. The living room and bedrooms are set back and look out to the harbour. In fact I didn't even hear a thing from room to room, perfect when your partner tends to get up at 5am! The Annex is a really quirky addition, again decorated beautifully with super comfy bed and ensuite shower/bathroom. I've stayed at a lot of Properties in St Ives and have booked with Orange Roofs in the past. I will always recommend Orange Roofs to people, its a real personable service and everyone I have spoken too have been fantastic. Plus the properties they manage are another level of luxury. We can't wait to come back to Artists Light, I thought I'd found all the hidden gems already until Orange Roofs advertised this place. I cant recommend this apartment enough, it was perfect.

Was a delight to deal with Orange Roofs, they gave great communication and contacted us the moment we could move in to the property (over 2 hours earlier than anticipated). When entering the property you could see the attention to detail and quality finish put into all aspects of the property. Also the Christmas tree was a nice touch. All in all a really lovely holiday thoroughly enjoyed in a great property. Will definitely rebook if we return to St Ives in future. One very slight request would be a little more colour in the property as it is quite neutral throughout but certainly didn't detract from the holiday.

Absolutely fantastic stay in Artists light. The first time for us in the centre of town and we were not disappointed, really close to everything St ives has to offer. The apartment was spotless and luxurious, everything you could possibly need and more was available. There's a fantastic view from the sitting room and main bedroom a fantastic spot to watch the sunrise from your bed and great for people watching and being a part of the atmosphere of the town from the kitchen diner. We had one minor issue with the Annex shower drain this was sorted within a few hours to suit us, couldn't fault the service provided by orange roofs. All in all we had an absolutely amazing week, the sun shone every day and we were very sad to leave. Thank you!

Artists Light in St Ives is a wonderful place to stay. It is a beautifully decorated with fabulous attention to detail and brilliant views. It is situated right in the heart of the town, moments from the harbour, yet is a quiet haven. The third bedroom is in an annexe a few yards away, which provides privacy for older children, or if different couples are staying together. This has all the amenities you need, including a mini kitchen, ensuite and TV. The information provided by Orange Roofs about both the property and the local area are the best we have ever received. Really comprehensive and useful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My family and I recently stayed at Artist light in June The accommodation is perfectly located just a stone throw away from the harbour beach. Very clean snd tidy and fully equipped. Very central to pop out to shops, great deli across the road. it was perfect for us as we have older teens as Annexe is a less than a minute walk down side public alleyway leading to harbour. The accommodation itself is stunning and beautifully designed, with everything you could possibly need with views right across the harbour ..we hope to return again next year. Thank you.

Wow what a find. Artists light is an amazing apartment, everything you need for a great holiday. Location is perfect, the view from the lounge and master bedroom is stunning. Interior design is amazing. It's just a perfect apartment in every way. The annexe is great, but we didn't use it. We hope to be back one day.. the welcome pack was great, we enjoyed the clotted cream, scones, jam and prosecco. Thank you

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful apartment. We didn't want to leave, such a fantastic location you can look out to sea from your armchair in the morning. at the harbour. The location is great as we could pop to restaurant bars snd shops and pop back easily. Deli across the road has everything you need. Artist light has no expense spared it is finished to a very high standard and spotless. Home from home everything you could possibly need.. it is set up perfectly for a family with older children as the Annexe was a great for two of my daughter who are late teens. We will be returning next year if it's available. Thank you Jean Adam Kate Becky Aimee.xxx

Wow is what we all kept saying as we wandered around Artists Light for the first time! The space is absolutely beautiful and has been very carefully finished with every last detail being spot on! It was spotlessly clean and really did feel like a home from home! Not only was it perfectly decorated but they have thought of everything, hot water bottles, torches, games, maps...everything you need is there! Location is also brilliant, as long as you don't mind the hustle and bustle of Fore Street (which quietens off around 6pm) Will definitely be returning for a second trip :)

We stayed for a week in the newly refurbished Artists Light, a fab stylish apartment opposite the wonderful Allotment Deli on Fore Street. The property is spacious and full of light, with very comfortable beds and fantastic bathrooms. Everything is really high quality, and the owners have really thought hard about making their guests' stay enjoyable. There are great views over the Harbour from one side, and you can people watch on Fore Street from the other. Beaches, museums, cafes, restaurants, bars & shops are all on your doorstep. The Annex is literally just round the corner, it is cosy and self contained, with the same quality and attention to detail, and was perfect for two teenagers. The rugby club (for car parking) is about a 20 minute walk up some steep hills - just what you need to walk off the pasties and ice cream, although we didn't use the car all week. Orange Roofs were a pleasure to deal with - really friendly and efficient, answered emails and questions straight away, and very helpful with suggestions for good places to eat and drink. We had a really lovely stay at Artists Light - thank you.

We absolutely LOVED this property, we've stayed in many in St Ives and this is definitely our favourite so far. Situated overlooking Fore St at the front and Harbour beach and the lighthouse to the rear, the views across the bay are breathtaking both from the lounge and main bedroom. I believe we were the first guests to stay after the owners had carried out a major renovation and it was immaculate. Furnished beautifully, with everything you could possibly need, everything is of a high quality and very well thought out. We didn't use the 'annex' apartment room down the passageway, but had a peep in there and it is just as beautifully decorated as upstairs and would be ideal for another couple or teenagers. Well done to the owners on a fantastic renovation! We can't wait to return and have booked another week here next year already.
