The  door to the ground floor room is in the kitchen. It is then a flight of stairs to the large  basement room with a comfortable  king-sized bed and  en-suite shower  room.  The interior of this room and  en-suite  has been  beautifully  hand finished. One of our favourite features that you'll find in this shower room is the porthole  mirror. This is porthole that has been taken from a ship and upcycled into a beautiful bathroom accessory!
   
The twin bedroom and the second king sized bedroom are on the second floor, one flight of stairs up from the lounge. The newly refurbished king size room offers  a light and comfortable space with storage and a TV for those morning you just don't want to leave bed (not sure that really happens in St Ives!).  The twin bedroom  shares the same St Ives theme as the rest of the house and it has  not been overlooked in the refurbishment with new beds, furniture and finishing touches! Penhallow's family bathroom is also located on this  floor with both a shower and free-standing bath.
