From books to jewellery to freshly made food, shopping in St Ives is a Cornish tradition thanks to the cobbled streets and independent shops that line them.
Perfect for a holiday at any time of year, 6 Church Place is a cosy, two bedroom cottage situated right in the centre of St Ives. Your family, friends and pooches, are sure to make wonderful, happy memories in 6 Church Place, whether you're taking it easy with a takeaway whilst planning your next day's adventure, or enjoying the end of the day at the beach, watching the sunset over Porthmeor with your favourite tipple and a beach BBQ. Set over three floors; the two bedrooms, an open plan sitting area and separate snug, have all been furnished lovingly by the owners, with your comfort in mind.
You have a wonderful choice of shops, bars, restaurants and five golden, sandy, beaches to choose from, all within minutes on foot and for holidays taken between October to Easter when the dogs are allowed to run free across the sands, 6 Church Place is a perfect base all year round.
one step up from street level, leading straight into:
two sofas, table with four chairs, Smart TV/DVD, gas fire, fridge with freezer compartment, electric hob and oven, dishwasher, stairs leading to first floor:

shower, basin, WC.
Smart TV/DVD, Nintendo Classic mini, bean bags, stairs leading to second floor:
zip and link (super king or twin) beds, open hanging space.
oil fired heating, please note there is no washing machine, WiFi, up to two dogs welcome, short breaks available.
6 church place was the ideal location for a family of 4 plus 2 small dogs.
We enjoyed the harbour, porthmeor beach and porthwiggan beach.
Location wise. Perfect. Next to everything you could possibly need in st ives.
Cleanliness. Perfect.
Cosiness. Spot on- the cosiest place in st ives that we have personally stayed in. (Fire, bean bags, snug, beds)
Parking/traffic. No parking which we knew at booking and we caught the train. The road is super quiet and does not see any traffic or asda delivery vans or anything like other places we have stayed! Very convenient as that can be a real bug bear of the narrow streets when navigating with dogs.
I want to personally thank the host for a lovely october holiday that was very much needed. The price was very reasonable and should we return to st ives, we will be looking at booking this place again. Our only reservations are the time it takes to journey from the Midlands and the health of our dogs, otherwise I would have definitely booked again!
Must also mention a beautiful attic room!

Proximity to the harbour and amenities are second to none. The kitchen area well equipped and a decent none stick frying pan !!!!!!
A good selection of glassware and plenty of mugs , plates etc
Comfortable settees and living areas and good storage in the bedrooms. Perfect accommodation and would definitely stay again.

Steeped in history, Downalong is a timeless haven that captures the fishing heritage and thriving art community of this enchanting area of St Ives. With all that St Ives has to offer on your doorstep, spend endless days exploring the sandy shores, stunning coastal paths and bustling harbourside.
Downalong is a historic Cornish term for an area of harbourside fisherman's cottages 'down along the harbour'?

6 church place was super little cottage with easy access to st Ives harbour and town. The cottage was very clean and although it's dog friendly you would never guess as no dog smells at all . Everything you need for a super holiday
Ms Khalil Aug 2024

Mrs Shires May 2024
6 church place, perfect location and every aspect about our stay easy and enjoyable.
Mrs Dowling May 2024
We had a fantastic stay at 6 Church Place. The location can’t be beaten, just seconds to the harbour and the beach. The cottage is very well presented and welcoming with everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. We will definitely return. It was really useful to be able to unload all luggage at the cottage door too.
Mr Dowling Apr 2024
Absolutely loved our stay with my parents at church place, so close to the harbour, we’ve been coming to Stives for years and this is one of the best places we’ve stayed, great location, really quiet surprisingly! which was great for the dogs. They also loved that we were on the beach in a hop and skip. Perfect size for 4 people for a week, beds were comfy! And we would deffo book again.
Mrs Urban Apr 2024
Just returned from a lovely stay at 6 church place , the cottage was cosy and comfortable, Nicely furnished with lovely little touches, like the books, games provided and essentials on arrival We would definitely return
Miss Chambers Jan 2024
6 Church Place is in a fantastic location, literally 30 seconds from the Harbour beach. The famous Sloop pub is stumbling distance away, and the Balancing Eel chippy is facing the cottage.
You can unload your bags directly outside or park in the Sloop car park 10 metres away.
The rooms are large for a Downalong cottage and all very comfortable. Nice bed linen and towels, too. The kitchen is very well equipped and we cooked Christmas dinner there. I'd like to see a washing machine/dryer instead of a dishwasher. The shower was hot and powerful.
A negative during the colder months is the lack of central heating and radiators. Whilst there is a lovely, remote control fire in the lounge and portable electric heaters in all rooms, we did find it a little chilly. Plus, drying wet clothing is an issue (there's one heated clothes dryer). To be fair, this probably wouldn't be an issue in the Spring or Summer.

Thank you for your lovely review. The cottage does not have central heating however, each of the upstairs rooms are equipped with a portable radiator and in the lounge there is also a gas fire. Though the heating is not something we've received any comments on in the past, having now received this feedback we will be closely monitoring this. We will also forward your comments regarding making space for a washing machine along to the owners, for them to take into consideration for future improvements. We're glad the property had everything you needed to make a lovely Christmas dinner and we hope to welcome you back soon. Phoebe, Customer Services
6 Church Place is a cosy little cottage right in the heart of St.Ives. It is so well positioned for everything that you might need. 1 minute from the beach. The stairs are little steep up to the top bedroom but ok. The little snug on the first floor is a great little space for chilling quietly or just for an extra small space. We enjoyed staying in 6 church place and will definitely return.
Mrs Lewis Oct 2023
Had a great holiday in 6 Church Place. Location was brilliant & there was nothing we needed that wasn’t already in this lovely little cottage. Hoping to book again for next year & can’t wait to go again already.
Mrs Gadd Aug 2023
Brilliant location and very cute cottage. Has very comfy beds and beautiful decor. Would definitely book again.
Ms Day Jun 2023
Fantastic location and the perfect property for 2 couples to explore St Ives. Steep stairs within the property, which wasn’t a problem for us but worth being aware of. Very clean and well presented with comfy beds. Would happily stay here again.
Mrs Dixon May 2023
What a gorgeous property. Comfortable beds and furnishings. Very well equipped. Perfect location. Couldn’t find a single fault with it. Would happily stay here again.

A fantastic holiday cottage in a great part of St Ives
Mrs Wright Oct 2022
There was an issue stepping out onto the road immediately outside due to contractors vehicles speeding up and down the narrow road.A real health and safety issue,please use extreme caution!
Mrs McGuinness Oct 2022
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are sorry to hear that you experienced that. It is certainly not the norm for vehicles to be speeding up and down that road, it isn't a busy road and is only used to access the car park and the row of properties along there. Usually, vehicles go through there very slowly, so it sounds like you had a very unfortunate and exceptional experience with this; possibly some contractors who don't usually work in the area. We will keep an eye out on any further feedback though. Thanks for letting us know. Tanya, Customer Services
6 Church View is a beautiful property in a perfect location to access the town and beaches. We felt very comfortable with our two little dogs and just a stone’s throw from the harbour beach. The cottage is modern and very clean. There is no washing machine, which would have been useful with the inclement weather, rather than a dishwasher, which wasn’t used. Not much passing footfall, which was nice. If you have mobility issues, the stairs may be a bit too steep. We had a great week here & will book it again in the future.
Mrs Ralph Sep 2022
Lovely house to stay in. Everything you need is extremely close by. It was very clean, tidy and well equipped. Beds were very comfy too. Stairs are steep but that’s typical of the houses in this area. Would definitely come back and recommend.
Mrs Bedford Aug 2022
6 Church Place offered our family (including a seven year old child and a small dog) the perfect holiday home for our home in St. Ives. The location is excellent, right in town and a few short steps to the harbour. The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc to enable us to cook our own meals. We were so pleased with it, that during the second day of our holiday we booked 6 Church Place for our next break in St. Ives. Highly recommended, especially for dog owners who want the opportunity to stay in town rather than the outskirts.
Mrs Parry Aug 2022
This is our 2nd holiday with Aspects holidays , we have been very satisfied with both bookings from a very friendly and efficient team , we thoroughly recommend Aspect holidays , Cornwall.
Mrs Peake Aug 2022
We had a wonderful week at this cottage. The location is amazing for everything St Ives has to offer. There was plenty of space for our family of 3 - parents and a young adult daughter. We had our dogs with us and it was lovely to have early morning walks on the beaches. It is also just a short walk to the beach which is dog friendly all day.
Ms Robinson Jul 2022
We had a fantastic holiday, one of the best weeks for weather we’ve ever had in st Ives. The cottage was lovely, perfect for a family of four, fantastic location, directly opposite the best fish and chip shop in St Ives. Overall a lovely little cottage.
Nick, Alison, Beau, Evan and Peaches (the dog)
Mr Greatbatch Jun 2022
What an amazing cottage! It is so close to the pubs and shops, brilliant size and has all the amenities you require. When you open your bedroom window you can hear the waves which was amazing. The beds and couches were very comfy and the shower was great. I have already booked to stay here again next year.
Miss Day May 2022
Such a great location, and a cosy, well equipped cottage. The fire is lovely, the snug was very popular with the children.
It had everything we needed and felt like a really indulgent holiday.

We stayed at 6 Church Place for our summer holiday. It is in an excellent location, close to the town and also easily accessible for the beaches.
