Elegant, spacious and beautifully equipped, The Fairings is a refurbished grade II listed cottage that settles in a quiet corner of St Ives just 15 minutes’ walk from the town’s centre. Amongst the home’s many assets are a sumptuous living room with huge granite inglenook fireplace and wood-burner, an open-plan kitchen/diner with slate flagstone flooring and full width bi-fold doors, and a large and lush garden with two paved sun terraces - all of which create the perfect place for glamorous gatherings and carefree multi-generational family holidays.
Set over two floors, guests can pick from four tastefully appointed bedrooms, all of which are light and airy with comfortable beds and gorgeous furnishings. A lovely twin lies on the first floor along with a shower room, while the remaining bedrooms which include a second twin, a king and the master en-suite can be found on the first floor, together with a fabulous family bathroom and its free-standing bathtub. The sociable open-plan kitchen/diner with its inviting snug has exposed granite walls and garden views so you can cook, eat and unwind in complete comfort, and glass doors leading out to the terrace and gardens make it the perfect space for indoor/outdoor entertainment.
Ideal for relishing this beautiful slice of the Cornish coastline, holidays at The Fairings centre around the coast. The South West Coast Path is just a 10-minute walk from the property, while Porthmeor Beach, the harbour and town centre are 20-minutes' walk. St Ives bustles with many lovely independent shops and galleries making it perfect for a day of exploring, and a fabulous foodie scene with a focus on local produce, means you can enjoy a delicious meal out at places like Source Kitchen and The Balcony Bar & Kitchen. Porthminster Beach is under 10 minutes’ drive (or less than half an hour is you choose to ditch the car during your stay), and the pretty streets of St Ives with its galleries, independent shops, restaurants and harbour are a 15-minute walk. The aquamarine waters and golden sandy beach at Carbis Bay are 10 minutes by car, along with a clutch of fashionable eateries, cocktail lounges and C Spa at the Carbis Bay Hotel.

Kim E., May 2026
The house was lovely, very clean, well equiped & maintained, it was perfect for dog owners.whilst a good 20minute walk to St Ives it was great to be able to park easily. our camper would not fit in the car port but there was ample on street parking too.

Veronique C., Sept 2025
The house is beautiful and would definitely stay again but just with adults or grown up children rather than young children, only because of the garden layout and the wall (which we we were concerned they could fall off whilst running around in the garden)
If we queried anything it was answered straight away, the house was clean and very well equipped.
Very good

From verified guest, Oct 2025
A house in a good location. We felt very comfortable in the beautifully furnished house. Nothing was missing and we felt very comfortable there. We would book this house again at any time.
