The details

Tucked along one of St Ives’ pretty, winding streets, Happy Days Cottage is a delightful coastal retreat that places you right in the heart of this much-loved Cornish town. Just moments from golden beaches, independent galleries and buzzing harbourfront cafés, this charming hideaway offers the perfect blend of seaside nostalgia and modern comfort.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a cosy yet airy living space where soft coastal tones and thoughtful styling create an instant sense of calm. After salty mornings spent swimming or exploring rock pools, sink into the sofa with a cup of tea, throw open the windows and let the sea breeze drift through. The atmosphere is relaxed and homely, making it easy to slip into holiday mode from the moment you arrive.

The kitchen and dining area is well equipped for laid-back suppers and long, lazy breakfasts before heading out to the beach. Pick up fresh seafood from the harbour, local bread from a nearby bakery and a bottle of Cornish wine to enjoy around the table as you plan the next day’s adventures. Whether you’re cooking up a feast or serving simple fish and chips, everything you need is close at hand.

Upstairs, the bedrooms offer peaceful sanctuaries after sun-soaked days on the sand. Crisp linens, calming décor and comfortable beds promise restful nights, while thoughtful touches ensure you feel right at home. A stylish bathroom completes the interior, offering the perfect place to rinse off sandy toes and unwind with a warm shower before dinner in town.

Outside, the sunny courtyard is a real highlight. This private spot is ideal for alfresco breakfasts, afternoon reading sessions or evening drinks as the sky turns pink over the rooftops. It’s your own little pocket of tranquillity in the middle of St Ives’ vibrant energy.

When it comes to exploring, you couldn’t be better placed. Wander down to Porthminster or Porthmeor Beach for swimming and surfing, browse the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, or hop on the scenic train to Carbis Bay. With coastal walks, boat trips and exceptional eateries all within easy reach, Happy Days Cottage is a wonderful base for soaking up the very best of Cornwall.
