The Burrow Downalong, St Ives

Book

Welcome to The Burrow, a perfectly positioned ground floor studio apartment in the heart of Downalong. Ideally located just a few minutes' walk from Porthgwidden Beach, this delightful little bolt hole is perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to make the most of everything St Ives has to offer. Compact in size but making clever use of its space, the property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The modern, welcoming interior provides a cosy place to relax after a day exploring, while the well equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare breakfast or cook up something delicious using fresh local produce.

Whether you're travelling as a couple or enjoying a solo escape, The Burrow provides an excellent central location, with Porthgwidden Beach just moments away. Wander down for an early morning swim or simply sit on the sand with your morning cuppa and watch the sun come up. Head just a few minutes in the other direction and you'll find the golden sands of Porthmeor Beach, while the harbourfront and shops of Fore Street are also just a stone's throw away. Spend your days browsing the independent shops and galleries, stopping for coffee in one of the many cafés, or simply soaking up the atmosphere of this much loved Cornish town. The Tate St Ives is just over a five-minute walk from the apartment, perfect for a little culture when you fancy a break from the beach. And if you'd rather explore the coastline on foot, you can pick up the South West Coast Path nearby and head in either direction, towards Zennor or along the coast to Carbis Bay. It's the perfect little space to come back to after a day by the coast, offering a comfortable base without the need for anything too elaborate. Whether you're looking for an escape for two or travelling solo, The Burrow puts you right in the heart of St Ives.

If you are looking to return to Cornwall, the team would be very happy to discuss your requirements to find something that will better suit your requirements. Aspects Holidays

Lovely bijou, well equipped, warm and well located place to stay. Good space for clothing, plenty of mirrors and nice roomy bathroom. Would definitely stay again.

Very clean and well equipped, excellent bathroom and ideal location for beaches. Its name 'The Burrow' suits as it is very small, especially when studio couch down, and would be more suited for single occupancy.

This is a fantastic place to stay in a great location - especially for dogs as it is close to the beach and island. Although it is only small, the property is very well equipped and has everything you need. The sofa bed is not the most comfortable however I think this is due to the mattress topper rather than the bed and therefore could be easily rectified. Overall very good stay here and would happily stay again.

Lovely trip to St Ives staying at the Burrow. Small apartment but perfect for me and my husband and dog. Great location near two lovely beaches and the town centre. Would book again.

Lovely little property- ideal for one person, perfect location for all beaches. Very good value for money. Would have liked a little bit of outside space to sit & enjoy the evening sunshine- maybe a little bistro table with 2 chairs ?
