The Tide House - 6 Bedroom (Sleeps 16) Cottage in Cornwall

Description

Just 50 yards from the golden sands and sparkling harbour of St Ives, this breath-taking 6 bedroom residence offers 4,300 sq ft. of beautifully designed, luxurious accommodation. Sleeping up to 16 guests, it is a rare find in the very heart of the town, combining grandeur, comfort and an unbeatable coastal location.

From the moment you step inside, the house feels like a sanctuary, quietly tucked away in a surprisingly peaceful spot even though everything St Ives is known and loved for is just moments from the door. The interiors have been finished to the highest standard, with generous living spaces, elegant bedrooms and thoughtful touches throughout, creating a home that feels both indulgent and deeply welcoming.

Upstairs, panoramic views sweep across St Ives Harbour, the Bay, Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond, flooding the rooms with soft coastal light. Step out onto the south-facing roof terrace and breathe in the salty sea air while the sun warms your face.

Designed with families and friends in mind, the house offers spaces to gather and spaces to retreat. Enjoy long dinners that spill into the evening, morning coffees together overlooking the water, or games nights in the dedicated games room that promises hours of fun for all ages. The courtyard garden is the perfect suntrap for slow breakfasts or relaxed evenings after a day on the beach.

This is a home made for celebration, connection and memory-making. Whether you’re marking a special occasion, treating the whole family or simply craving a getaway where sea views greet you from dawn to dusk, this unforgettable property delivers it all in style.

And dogs are welcome too, so your four-legged family members don’t have to miss out on the adventure.

A house of this calibre is incredibly rare in St Ives. Once you arrive, you’ll understand why guests return again and again to soak up its magic.



The Tide House is a luxury St Ives retreat just 50m from the beach, sleeping 16 with 6 stylish bathrooms. Its large, beautifully designed rooms—many with sea and harbour views—make it perfect for groups and families. Only a one-minute stroll from restaurants, shops, galleries and the town.
