Rough Seas Loft
Porthmeor, St Ives
Previous
Next
Rough Seas Loft is a brilliant holiday location for either couples or families. As the Loft is on the top floor, it commands incredible views, looking out into the ocean and over to Clodgy and Man's Head. You'll be able to check the surf from your living room and watch the dramatic seas, at any time of year. You'll also have front row seats to some of the most perfect sunsets you will ever see. Porthmeor beach is just a 5 minute walk away and another great perk of Rough Seas Loft is the private parking space, right outside the front door, so you can come and go as you please.
If you are looking for a romantic stay then the zip and link bed in the bedroom can be made into a king size. For families, this can be split into twin beds.
Entrance
access from the parking space to the rear of the building, 29 steps via a spiral stair case leading to the front door. Access to hallway with:
Bedroom
zip and link beds - will be made as two single beds, unless a super king is requested at the time of booking, storage underneath bed and wardrobe just outside bedroom.
Bathroom
bath with shower over, WC, basin.
Kitchen/dining/sitting room
washing machine, electric oven and hob, fridge/ice box, table with seating for four, double sofa bed, sofa, TV/DVD, sea views.
Additional information
28 external steps up a spiral staircase to the front door, electric heaters. WiFi, short breaks available.
Fabulous location overlooking the beach, the parking space is a bonus! It is five mins to Portmeor beach in front of the apartment, excellent for sunsets. Town is very close and walking up the hill back isn't that bad! Great storage shed under the apartment for beach gear. Would definitely go back - but watch out for the seagulls.

Very well situated in St Ives, so long as you are able for the climb up to Barnoon every day. Large parking space with easy routes out of St Ives without having to drive through the throngs in the town. Nice large bed (when specified as a double). Lovely sea views through the Windows, with the added bonus of watching the carnage that is finding a space in Barnoon Car Park.

Most of the town and all it has to offer is a level walk from Porthmeor, making it many of our guests' first choice of location. Many Porthmeor properties offer parking and most have superb beach views and balconies.

We had a wonderful if rainy week in St Ives. All the more reason why we enjoyed the amazing view from the apartment window and the books and dvd's provided. This apartment is in a prime location but not for the faint hearted, as there is an outside spiral staircase to get to the apartment and steep acsent into town, but only 5 minutes away. We went for the walking and there was a walk to Zennor straight from the apartment.
Mrs Moreman 1 month ago
Lovely decor in this spacious apartment. Great sea views from all the windows. Bit of a climb up from the town but worth it as it was a quiet area. And the private parking was an absolute necessity!
Ms Riley May 2021
Ideal location, lovely apartment, light and airy with stunning views. Parking perfect.
Mrs Waite May 2021
The accommodation has spectacular views from every window in the apartment. It was clean and comfortable and has everything you could need on your stay. It is situated on top of a steep hill and then there is a spiral staircase to the apartment so probably not suitable if you have issues with mobility. But saying that it is close to the main shopping and restaurants if you can manage the climb back. We loved it and will definitely be returning.
Mr Webber May 2021
ROUGH SEAS LOFT, ST IVES The apartment had everything we needed (apart from a dishwasher!). Spiral stairs weren't as bad a we thought they were going to be. Quite wide treads and covered. Great view to the sea, but you do need to get used to looking over the large and very busy carpark. The walk down the steep hill to the town was fine, it was the walk back up that was tiring! Definitely worth it though! Having our own parking space was fantastic, especially with watching the parking wars going on in the carpark opposite!!

Thank you for your review. We were delighted to see that you found the apartment had everything you needed and that you found the staircase to be easier than you had expected. The hill up to the property is a bit of steep one, but we were happy to see you felt it was worth it, due to the property's fantastic location and lovely sea views. Whilst you have the carpark opposite; we hope that you agreed that this does not detract from those lovely sea views just past that. If you are lucky enough to be here on a sunny, clear week in particular, you can experience some amazing sunset views from there. Thanks again, we hope to see you again soon! Ben, Customer Services
This is a great apartment with fantastic views and parking outside which is a real bonus in St Ives. This is particularly apparent when watching people try to find a parking space in the car park opposite! Good location as long as you don't mind the steep walk back - good exercise though. Great to watch the surfers on Porthmeor Beach from the lounge windows. There is a small deli just up the road which is really handy if you don't want to go down to the town centre. Just watch the closing times as it seems to close quite early in the afternoon. Overall a great place to stay.
Mrs Wise Sep 2020
A lovey, airy loft with great views. Fantastic open space, with lots of natural light, perfect for 2 guests, or a family of 4. The apartment was exactly as described, with all furnishing that you would need for a comfy and enjoyable stay (and a very sought after private parking space) Fresh tea, coffee, sugar and milk left for arrival, which is enough to last the week, and perfect to find after a long drive.
Mr Brockley Sep 2020
A lovely bright and airy apartment. Great views and parking a bonus. We had a very comfortable week, good facilities for self-catering. Much better than some cottages we have stayed in. Would recommend this apartment and we hope to stay again.
Mrs Skinner Jul 2019
We had a lovely holiday in St Ives. Rough Seas loft is bright and spacious with amazing views across Porthmeor. It is well located near to everything but also removed from the crowds. Perfect...
Ms Whitaker Jun 2019
This is a great apartment for two people with fantastic views and parking directly outside.
Mrs Wise Sep 2018
Lovely apartment, with views over loft. Great location with parking which is brilliant. Lovely and light and decorated to a good standard. We have been here a number of times and love it.
Mrs Leslie Sep 2018
A lovely apartment, beautifully furnished and well thought out, ideal for a couple, fantastic views across to Porthmeor Beach, added bonus a generous parking space.
Dr Walker Oct 2017
Clean and comfortable, great views with a modern feel. Comes with parking which is a bonus in St Ives.

Visited on numerous occasions, the views are amazing from this apartment. ??
Miss Haley Apr 2017
Access via the external spiral staircase might prove a challenge for some people, however the apartment and views are well worth the effort. Certainly have no hesitation in recommending Rough Seas Loft

Thanks for your comments. The spiral staircase up to the property may certainly be something to consider, but we are glad that you also thought that it was worth it for those lovely views. Tanya, Customer Services.
