One of a handful of character properties in Hicks Court which sits at the entrance to the narrow cobbled streets of The Digey, the location of this little gem is superb. Porthmeor’s surfing beach and iconic café as well as the harbour, some of the town’s best restaurants, its galleries and shops, all lie on the doorstep. And for those travelling by car who’d like to explore the whole of St Ives Bay, places like Gwithian, Hayle, Carbis Bay and Lelant are just a few minutes away.
The space the cottage offers is perfect too. Comfortable bedrooms, a lovely living room, amply equipped kitchen, large bathroom and private courtyard provide families, couples, friends and their dogs a beautiful base from which to enjoy holidays in one of Cornwall’s most famous towns. Shell Cottage also provides a parking space, which as most know is a real plus for St Ives, especially during the busy summer season.

Shell Cottage was a welcoming , cosy , well equipped and well presented cottage. \r\nClose to all the local shops and bars yet hidden away so very peaceful. Decorated perfectly , with comfy beds and sofas to relax on. We would definitely book again and highly recommend . The process from start to finish was easy and the hosts and booking company definitely went above and beyond .
Very good

Lovely place but only the parking spot was 2k from the cottage, uphill, far from ideal.
