Positioned in the heart of the Downalong area of St Ives, you'll find the delightful Cogar Cottage, a refurbished, Grade II Fisherman's Cottage, perfectly positioned for those wanting to be close to everything yet enjoy a little peace and quiet. Sleeping up to four guests, the cottage is laid out over two floors with reverse level living, lovingly restored to the highest standards, yet retaining features such as the beamed ceilings and exposed stonework, all adding to its charm. Step through the stable door into a bright and airy open plan living space, featuring a well-equipped modern kitchen with everything you need to cater for your stay. A comfy sofa and soft lighting complete the space, creating a warm and homely atmosphere. Downstairs, once used as net lofts and a fish store, has been transformed into two beautiful welcoming bedrooms. Both features super comfy beds, with bedroom one offering flexible sleeping arrangements, with the option of either a twin or super king size bed and a further king size bedroom with the family shower room completing the ground floor. Being based only a stone's throw from Porthmeor beach it is ideal for a morning dip or laid-back afternoons sunbathing, after which you can wash off the sea and sand in the handy, hot outside shower.

Being in such a central spot, means you have everything close to hand, whether you want to book surf lessons on Porthmeor, take a stroll around the shops of Fore Street, or while away time at one of the many Cafes and Restaurants that St Ives has to offer. If you don't wish to take the car, hop on the train, and ride the branch line to Carbis Bay, and take in the gorgeous coastline along the way. If being active is on the itinerary, put on your walking boots and take to the Southwest coastal path, where you will be able enjoy the stunning scenery of West Cornwall.
