Tucked into Barnoon Hill, an area of St Ives well-known for its most famous resident Barbara Hepworth, Tathra Beach Cottage lies quite literally on the doorstep of the artist’s studio and Sculpture Garden. Grade II listed and gorgeous, the house flaunts a tastefully refurbished interior with chic furnishings and modern features – all designed to create a truly comfortable space for your stay in St Ives. Three beautiful bedrooms make up the homes two upper floors, with a large living room and spacious modern kitchen to be found on the ground and lower ground.

Wonderfully positioned in the heart of St Ives and within easy reach of all that the town has to offer, you’re just a hundred yards from bustling Fore Street, its shops, restaurants, cafes and galleries, and just a minute’s walk from the harbour and beach.
