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

Mea cottage was lovely. The location was perfect: near enough to shops and beaches but still quiet. Views from the top bedroom where stunning...
Mrs Sutherland April 2018
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
Ms Sheward March 2018
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...

Miss White September 2017
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
