Sealight Cottage Verified listing

Tucked away in the enchanting Downalong quarter of St Ives, Sealight Cottage is a lovingly restored Grade II-listed fisherman’s cottage offering the perfect coastal escape. Just a stone’s throw from the harbour and no less than four sandy beaches, this delightful two-bedroom bolthole is ideal for couples or small families seeking a traditional stay with all the modern comforts – including the rare luxury of private parking.

Light, bright and beautifully styled in a timeless Hampton’s-inspired blue and white, the interiors invite calm and comfort from the moment you arrive. After a day exploring the cobbled lanes, galleries, surf spots or scenic coastal paths, return to this peaceful haven and truly unwind.

Upstairs, the king-size master bedroom offers fabulous sea views across the rooftops of St Ives Bay – the perfect place to watch the sunrise or enjoy the shimmering sea light for which the town is so famous. A second cosy bedroom and tastefully finished interiors, with crisp cotton bedding and soft coastal touches, make Sealight as welcoming as it is restful.

Bamaluz Beach, a hidden gem revealed at low tide, lies just at the end of the street. A short stroll leads to Porthgwidden, nestled beside the Island, while Porthmeor Beach – St Ives’ surfing hotspot – is just moments away, overlooked by the renowned Tate St Ives. Whether you're chasing waves, browsing art, or simply watching the boats from the harbour wall, you’re in the perfect place to soak up all the magic of this artistic seaside town.

Sealight Cottage also includes private, covered parking, a rarity in this part of St Ives, located just a 10-minute walk away. Please note that use of the parking space is at your own risk.

Quintessentially Cornish, full of character, and in one of the most sought-after spots in town, Sealight Cottage is a serene and stylish base to experience everything that St Ives has to offer.
