Skippers Rest
St Ives Town
Previous
Next
Skippers Rest is a perfect little bolt hole for two, right in the centre of St Ives in a quiet location, yet just a stone's throw from Fore Street with all its many independent shops and restaurants. Renovated to a high standard, you'll find everything you need inside to enjoy a relaxing holiday, but you'll also benefit from a pretty courtyard, which is a fabulous place to sit and chill, after a busy day exploring all that St Ives has to offer. Skippers Rest offers couples a fabulous retreat or, when booked alongside the main house, Sandy Shores, a total of eight people can be accommodated.
Entrance
from Virgin Street, through a gate into a communal courtyard, front door into:
Kitchen/dining room/sitting room
electric oven with induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine, breakfast bar with two stools, two seater sofa, Smart TV.
Bedroom 1
king size bed, Smart TV, en suite shower room with basin and WC.
Additional information
WiFi, one dog welcome, short breaks available.
We had a lovely weekend stay at Skipper’s Rest. It’s in a lovely quiet location but really handy for Fore street and the Downalong area of St Ives. Perfect for a couple or single traveller. Looking forward to staying there again in the future.

St Ives Town
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.
