Lovely spacious cottage, king size beds and wardrobes which are unusual in St Ives! And less than a minute from Porthmeor beach, which in my opinion is the best in the world ??.

Had many holidays in Cornwall with Aspects Holidays and our favorites has to be Hobbit Cottage & Nell's Cottage.Always stayed at Hobbit but left to late to book so choose Nell's cottage.
