Book

The Flying Pilchard is a beautiful retreat for two in the centre of St Ives, tucked away in the Downalong area. You are a minute's walk from Porthmeor beach, where you can surf and sunbathe to your heart's content and nip home for a cuppa whenever you please. The interior is crisp and fresh, yet cosy and comfortable. You'll be in an ideal spot to explore the coastline with the many beautiful walks on your doorstep. The Flying Pilchard is an impressive bolthole for a romantic escape by the sea with your loved one.

You are bound to catch some of the best sunsets around on Porthmeor Beach. The property is also within touching distance of a small, very well stocked local shop if you need to grab any provisions including a bottle of your favourite tipple, to sit back and relax with after a day of adventuring. Although close to lots of amenities, the location of the cottage is set in a row of cottages along a cobbled no through area, so it is quiet and secluded.
