Located only a stones throw from Porthmeor Beach, is 1 Porthmeor Road, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour within the quiet back roads of Downalong. Set over three floors, and sleeping up to six guests, there is plenty of space to spread out and relax, with a spacious open plan living area, perfectly accompanied by the woodburner, so you can snuggle up and watch your favourite film together of an evening. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you might need for dining in, but why not treat yourself to a delicious meal out in one of the many eateries in St Ives with fresh, local, cuisine on offer. On the first floor you will find the twin and double bedroom, along with family bathroom, and stairs ascending to the master bedroom, with super-king bed, which can be made up as twin beds if preferred - the perfect layout for families or friends to holiday together. You are also very welcome to bring your four-legged companion along for your stay, so everyone can enjoy their getaway year round at 1 Porthmeor Road!
Being based so close to Porthmeor beach is ideal for a morning dip and laid-back afternoons sunbathing, after which you can wash off the sea and sand in the hot outside shower, with the sheltered courtyard offering storage for all your beach gear. There are many other lovely beaches within easy reach too, including Porthgwidden and Porthminster, with beach equipment hire and cafés on site, perfect for family days spent in the sun.

Would highly recommend 1 Porthmeor Road in its great location. Facilities have everything you could need and more. We would definitely stay there again.
Mr Steele Jan 2024
Loved the location very close to the beach in the heart of old St Ives - very comfortable accommodation so warm and cosy at this time of year. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Just as described. Can highly recommend.
Mrs Hebblethwaite Nov 2023
Our third stay and just as good as the previous two! Location cannot be faulted- such a treat to be able to walk to the beach and all shops and facilities within minutes. Very well equipped and no complaints at all!

Mrs Rockley Sep 2023
Thanks to Aspects, our holiday disaster was saved! The property we had booked since September 2022 had been flooded and the holiday was cancelled! Luckily, the owners paid the difference for us to stay at 1 Porthmeor Road which was significantly more expensive. We have been spoilt! I knew where it was, but this house (and it it a house rather than a cottage) was brilliantly located for everything. Porthmeor Beach is literally a stones throw from your door and by cutting down the other way, you're by The Sloop in minutes. This property has been upgraded to a high level: state of the art kitchen with every utensil and appliance you can think of, spacious slate floor living and dining room. For 5 of us, it gave us all our own space. The downstairs utility room with toilet, washing machine and tumble dryer was handy. We used the small courtyard out the back for our paddle board and drying clothes plus the outdoor shower was a hit with our 14 year old after the beach. However, it was the service that Aspects offered that really blew me away, yet again. They were available on the phone for little things like the code for the bins! The emails flowed when I'd had an Amazon delivery turn up after I'd left and they even sent it on to me! Thank you all. We got our St Ives fix when I thought all hope was lost. And in such a fab property! Incredibly grateful.
Mrs Thomas Aug 2023
The property we stayed in was fantastic. Exactly as we hoped. When needed during our stay, the Aspects team were 10/10 helpful and easy to contact.
