Trevose Harbour House

St Ives (Cornwall)

A nautical-themed guesthouse in a Georgian building near the beach, with a handful of rooms decorated in blues and whites.

St Ives has attracted painters since the late nineteenth century, and Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum keep that tradition going. The town's best small hotels sit close to the harbor and beaches, often in sea captains' houses and Victorian villas.

Where to stay

The harbor and Porthmeor Beach put you in the heart of the town. Carbis Bay, a short way along the coast, offers quieter sands, and Zennor and the Penwith coast have remote cottages and inns.

Good to know

Summer brings heavy traffic, so arrive by the St Erth train and the branch line along the bay. Winter and spring are quieter, with good light for walking the coast path.
