Bookend Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed property which provides all the charm of a traditional fisherman's cottage. Situated just off The Warren, in a quiet location, but just a stone's throw from the harbour, shops, restaurants and beaches; it's perfectly located to take advantage of everything that St Ives has to offer. Although this cottage has been modernised and is very well equipped, it has retained much of its original feel and is homely and welcoming. With so many things to see and do, Bookend Cottage is the perfect base for a wonderful seaside getaway. There is the additional benefit of a snug on the top floor, a wonderfully secluded retreat and the perfect place to curl up with a book and relax after a day exploring.
If looking to book a short break at the cottage please enquire with the Bookings Team.

Many of our larger town houses are situated just a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre and these offer ideal family accommodation, many with gardens, something of a rarity in St Ives. If all that shopping and socialising gets too much, you can always get away from it all and relax in the tranquil setting of Trewyn Gardens, a real little haven, tucked away in the heart of the town.
So, for self catering holidays in St Ives with everything on your doorstep, the town is the place to be.

Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Bookend cottage is in a perfect location, close to the beach yet on a quiet street. It is perfect for families with young children.
Mrs Brown August 2018
We loved Bookend cottage. Beautifully furnished throughout in a great location, perfectly situated for all our favourite places in St Ives.
Miss Randle August 2017
Bookend cottage is a lovely place to stay. Very central for shops, restaurants and of course the choice of 3 beautiful beaches. It was bigger than we thought, very comfortable for a family of four. We had a great holiday, would definitely use Aspects again.
Mrs Musgrave July 2017
A lovely sized, cosy cottage for our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 boys ages 4&7yrs) It felt like home during our weeks stay. Great location for Porthminster beach and the town.
Mr Bell April 2017
A wonderful little cottage, lovely decor and perfect location, with the beautiful town of St Ives being only a few yards away. My sons loved the bunk beds and the extra room to play in 'the snug' and the whole place had a very lovely, cosy feel. We would happily visit again and use Aspects Holidays in general. Highly recommended.
