If you are looking for a property for two, in the beating heart of St Ives, then look no further than The Cabin. This ground floor studio, sleeping two, is nestled in the quant, back streets of Downalong on St Eia Street, which is only moments away from the harbour front and the golden sandy beaches of St Ives. Stepping inside you will be greeted with the light and modern open plan layout, which the owner has thoughtfully designed and equipped, to create an ideal base for your stay, with a comfy King Size bed, a sofa to cosy up on, and small, but perfectly formed, kitchen should you wish to cook up some local produce, after a day of exploring. If you don't feel like cooking, after a busy day of exploring, no worries, as you are spoilt for choice with the selection of restaurants on offer. Given its central location you have two gorgeous beaches right on your doorstep, Porthgwidden and Porthmeor, both of which are within a five minute walk. If you are looking to catch the surf, then head to Porhtmeor, or enjoy lunch at Porthgwidden beach café, enjoyed by both locals and holidaymakers alike. However, if beach life isn't for you, visit the iconic Tate Gallery, or stroll along to Fore Street and peruse the shops, or stop for a coffee. For any keen walkers, you can join the stunning coastal path, which leads you from Porthmeor to Zennor, where you can then enjoy a pint at the Tinners Arms in Zennor, before hopping back on the bus to St Ives. Whether staying for a short break, or weeks stay, the cabin is the perfect place for your St Ives getaway!

The Cabin is provides the perfect location for staying in St Ives and a good base to explore Cornwall. Very comfortable, cosy and easy to maintain. On arrival the property was very clean and fully equipped as advertised. Coffee, local tea and Cornwall crisps and cookies was a a welcome gesture. Aspect holidays have been excellent in providing all comms at the right time with a hassle free discrete service. We've loved St Ives and we will be definitely coming back to the Cabin.
PS The Mermaid Seafood restaurant just two minute walk from the property on Fish Street is a little gem and must visit if you are staying in the Cabin

Definitely recommend. The Cabin was perfect for two people, it had everything we needed and is in a great location. Aspects were very helpful when we called them. Nice to find scones and cream on arrival!
