This charming, renovated fisherman's cottage is set over three floors and is in the perfect location, just a few seconds from Fore Street, but quietly situated in a quaint corner of St Ives town. It offers all the comfort you need and even enjoys fabulous, dual aspects sea views from the top bedroom, over the rooftops to both the Island and St Ives Bay. As you are in the heart of the town, you can step from your door and in 100 paces arrive at either Harbour Beach or Porthmeor beach.
When you open the doors you will walk in to an attractive sitting room and you can immediately see how much care and detail the owners have put into decorating the cottage.

I can highly recommend this well located and beautifully decorated and equipped cottage.

Double aspect top floor bedroom with views over 2 beaches quite exceptional and made up for fact that bathroom servicing this bedroom was located on ground floor.

Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Fantastic location, nicely decorated cottage but very dark and would be too cramped for six adults.

Thank you for your comments and it is great to hear how much you liked it at Mea Cottage. A large number of properties within the heart of St Ives are traditional fishermans cottages. They are packed full of character inside and out, but often a little smaller and layouts more quirky than in more modern buildings. We always try to be as open and honest as possible, so whilst it can accommodate 6, with 2 double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, and there is seating for 6 in the dining and sitting area, we try to give an accurate representation of the size and layout of all properties within our photos and descriptions, so hope that we have achieved that in this case, but we will continue to monitor feedback. We hope that it suited all members of your party, and hope that you enjoyed everything that St Ives had to offer. Tanya, Customer Services

Lovely family home. Thoughtfully decorated and close to all the amenities shops and beaches. Beautiful views from the loft space. Quiet and peaceful even though you are close to everything. Situated on a pretty cobbled street. Has everything you would expect from a cottage. Would recommend

We had a magical stay at Mea Cottage. The location was perfect to enjoy all that St. Ives has to offer. The refurb of the property was to a very high standard and it was a lovely home from home. We especially loved the views from the double aspect top bedroom! Very highly recommended...

Amazing views and great location, very tastefully decorated, comfortable cottage.
Mrs Bird September 2017
Spotlessly clean and a great location for all St Ives has to offer as right in the heart of the town. Access to the cottage is a little steep so maybe not the best for people who have difficulty walking
