Gwydn Cottage is a spacious, three bedroom property full of both character and contemporary features. This charming cottage is set over three floors and is centrally located on Island Road in the heart of St Ives, making it an ideal base for the whole family and of course your furry friend too. The five, local, golden, sandy beaches are all within easy walking distance, for those days where the sun is shining, or enjoying an evening moonlit stroll, or for letting Fido run off steam.
For those guests who prefer to come away and enjoy beautiful St Ives in the quieter, cooler, months, you can get cosy and comfy together by the woodburner, while planning your next day of exploring. Within minutes you can be on the harbour front with all it has to offer, from shops, bars and restaurants to art galleries and boat trips to see the seals.

Sweet little cottage in a central location. Good amenities available.
Mrs Phillips Oct 2020
Beautiful cottage, could not fault anything in there. Very comfy nights sleep. Perfect location is St Ives. Would recommend to anyone else. Very well looked after cottage
Miss Bennett Sep 2020
Cottage in great location to explore St Ives. Outdoor space a little disappointing. Kitchen well equipped and lots of space in living areas but bedrooms lack storage and space. House well decorated.
Mrs Jackson Aug 2020
Great location, close to all amenities yet peaceful. The proximity to the Island is fantastic for dog owners. The bedrooms are compact but the spacious living areas more than compensate for that as there will always be compromises in cottages. We would happily holiday at Gwydn Cottage again.
Mrs Crichton-Sharp Aug 2020
We had a lovely relaxing holiday , fantastic location 2 minutes from the town . Cottage was very spacious, it had everything you needed home from home . We will definitely be back .
Mrs Pidoux Feb 2020
Lovely cottage, perfect location. My family all fitted in beautifully. The house was lovely and warm and there was lots of everything in the kitchen. I loved this house and would deffo go back!
Mrs Crane Jan 2020
Lovely cottage - very central and well equipped. Just a stones throw from the beaches, restaurants and shops yet in a nice quiet area of town.
The cottage itself is nice and spacious with modern furnishings and has a small outside sitting area which was a real sun trap.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gwydn Cottage!
Mrs Bridge Oct 2019
Great cottage very clean and well presented with great facilities. Great location .thanks Rob and Karen ??
Mr Williams Oct 2019
We had a lovely week in St Ives and Gwydn is in a great location. Our young grandchildren love playing on Porthgwidden beach and being so close to the house means such ease in coming and going with paraphenalia. We love the cafes at Porthgwidden, Porthmeor and Porthminster but have learned to book months in advance!
Mrs MIDDLETON Aug 2019
Gwydn Cottage was very well equipped & in a convenient location for the town & Island Car Park. Stayed as a couple but plenty of room for a family, would recommend the property & stay there again.
