With its fabulous location in St Ives, this four-storey cottage is mere footsteps from everything that makes St Ives such a dreamy holiday destination.
One of a handful of beautiful, characterful cottages that line the Digey, Walters is a delightful place for seaside escapes with family or friends. Known for its narrow granite passageways, small independent shops and easy access to everything St Ives is loved for, the Digey is a sought-after area in the town. Cafes and galleries sit between whitewashed cottages, and the beach is close enough to wander down to every day for an early morning swim or a sunset paddle-boarding session.
Inside, the cottage is arranged over four levels. The kitchen and dining space quirkily sit half a floor below the entrance, with a table for four and a fabulous kitchen. There's a back door here which opens towards the harbour side of town, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off sandy toes and beach gear. On the first floor there are two separate living spaces. The snug just off the landing is furnished with a daybed and can be used as a second TV room (especially good for families) or an occasional single bedroom, while the main living room provides a cosy place for relaxation or spending time together. A pretty double bedroom and family shower room are located on the second floor, while above, a light-filled twin bedroom occupies the top floor and enjoys views over the rooftops and out towards the sea.
Around the corner you'll find St Ives Bakery for fresh pasties and croissants, with Porthminster Kitchen and the Sloop Inn just a minute or two's walk from the front door. St Ives Harbour Beach is 100 metres away, while Porthmeor Beach, Porthmeor Kitchen and The Tate St Ives in the opposite direction, are only yards further.
Pets: 1 pet permitted. Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.
The cottage is arranged over four floors and includes several internal staircases. There are three steps up to the front door, and once inside you’ll find steep, characterful stairs connecting each level. The staircase down to the kitchen (half a level below the entrance) is particularly steep and narrow, and while a rope assist is provided, there is no fixed handrail. There is also a small step between the second-floor bedroom and bathroom. Because of the number and steepness of the stairs, the property may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility. Young children will need close supervision at all times.
