About this apartment rental
A luxury Visit England 5* Gold Rated holiday cottage with two beautiful bedrooms, one double and one twin which can be linked to make a double. Both offer individual en-suites; one with a large walk-in shower, the other with a large bath big enough for two, each fitted with TVs.
The open-plan living/dining room boasts beautiful oak beams and luxurious fittings throughout. The fully equipped kitchen extends to a family dining area. A complimentary welcome pack is provided for your enjoyment.
The Digey is one of the most iconic streets in St Ives’ Downalong district. The narrow cobbled street connects Fore Street, near the harbour with Back Road West near Porthmeor beach on the other side of the isthmus.
It is not certain where the name ‘Digey’ comes from but one theory is it comes from dye-chy meaning dye house, where the boat sails were dyed.

Recently stayed as a family of two adults two children. Set back from the Main Street within a beautiful private gated courtyard. The cottage is set out perfectly to a high standard of finishes. This is our second stay here and would return in a heartbeat.

Wella is part of My Cottages in St Ives group of properties in The Digey. We have previously used all of their properties, again this year, absolutely excellent. The Housekeeper ‘Marie’, is wonderful and every aspect of the property was top class. Also benefits from a beautiful shared secure courtyard and private parking, both hard to find in St Ives. We holiday around six times a year in St Ives and would always try to return to these properties.

Having stayed in St Ives many times over the years, we have booked a number of cottages, all very high quality but Wella was certainly one of the best. It’s so well equipped, finished to a very high standard and a more central location is hard to find. We loved staying here and managed to get a parking spot on the Island car park, being off season, but the free parking space provided with the cottage would be very useful in the busier periods. Highly recommend this lovely little cottage

First return and didn’t disappoint. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about these cottages is perfect. Location, comfort, security, attention to detail, decor, quality of every item, tech and especially upkeep are all gold standard. Could not recommend more highly. We will be back. Regularly. Thank you so much.

Perfect accommodation in St Ives! Convenient location, comfortable and very well equipped, definitely would stay again. Only downside is the parking options of either free but out of town up a very steep hill so not convenient if you want to drive to places or pay for the Island car park which is impossible to find a space - always full, you have to sit and wait for someone to leave. Even if you prepay for a space, the barrier won.t lift if the car park is full! They obviously over sell spaces. We witnessed someone who prepaid for the Island and there were no spaces!!

I don’t know where to start other than to say this was by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in! We have already booked to return next year!
It was spotlessly clean, exceptionally well equipped with the loveliest of finishing touches were provided. Everything was finished to a high standard and the quality of the design and interiors is another level. It is in a great location, a minutes walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, cafes etc.
We felt totally relaxed staying in Wella and can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you.

We had a great stay at Wella. The location was brilliant, so close to the beach and town but also lovely and quiet.
The cottage itself was perfect. It had everything we needed as a family of 4, and the welcome pack was a lovely addition.

We stayed in Wella for the weekend and on arrival we were very impressed with the location and the cleanliness. The welcome pack was very useful, and a nice touch was the ready reader glasses on the bookshelf. The cottage is a short walk to the harbour, shops and pubs with very good entertainment.
We would definitely stay again and our friends have said the same

The Wella Cottage was superb, it was so clean and in good condition, it was like brand new. Quality of furnishings, utilities, the heating system, everything was 5 star, so many things had been thought of, it was wonderful. The bedrooms were beautiful and so comfortable. It was a short break for me and my friend to relax and the cottage was perfect. I know St Ives very well so I loved the location and it did help having the St Ives bakery a few steps away. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and certainly sorted out our breakfast for the next morning! It was so quiet as well, no traffic or sound of people walking by as its set back in with an extra set of gates. Not that we needed it, but there is even a shower outside to get that unwanted sand of as well. We would not hesitate in recommending a stay at this wonderful little cottage.

We couldn't have wanted more - a beautiful house in the heart of St Ives, the sun shone & our holiday was just perfect. The house is secluded yet in the heart of St Ives with everything you could need and more. The house is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, there is nothing more we could have asked for except to have stayed longer! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic property
Wella is a beautifully presented property right in the heart of St Ives. Location is great but the little courtyard makes it a quiet haven amongst the hustle and bustle. The cottage is spotlessly clean and is very well equipped. Very close to stunning beaches (our favourite was Porthgwidden) and coastal walks. 4.5 miles to Zennor and 5 miles to Birdies Bistro in Hayle. Been to Wella twice this year and can’t wait to return.

Perfect home from home
Our 4th stay at wells - it really is perfectly positioned and having the little courtyard just off the bustle of the street is a real oasis of calm - love it here very much

Incredible place
Wow. Won’t need to say much more than it was just so good. In every respect. The out of town parking, while it takes a little getting used to, is really easy to use.
Such a good location. Really worth it. Small touches too were lovely like the coffee capsules and fresh bread! Divine

A wonderful stay to celebrate our honeymoon
We had the most magical few days staying in the Wella cottage celebrating our honeymoon!
The cottage is beautifully decorated in a modern yet homely style overlooking a very pretty courtyard and is very conveniently located in the centre of town close to restaurants, cafes, the Tate and the beach.
The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything you could want for a short or long stay in St Ives. We loved the fire, the huge Bath and the extremely comfortable beds!
Hope to visit again!

Perfect location for a relaxing holiday
From the moment we arrived we knew we would enjoy our stay at Wella. The cottage was beautiful and all the little touches were perfect. We couldn’t fault the location, it worked extremely well for us being able to step into the middle of St Ives and back into the peacefulness of the cottage. We can’t wait to return next year!

Wonderful Cottage
Wella was every bit as beautiful as the photos on ‘St Ives Cottages’ had illustrated- extremely high spec and very well equipped.
Very good location; we had two elderly guests with us and they were able to enjoy central St Ives without having to worry about the hills !!
Highly recommended

Such wonderful attention to detail
This is our second trip to stay in Wella and we thoroughly enjoyed it again! The standard is exceptionally high - such wonderful attention to detail (made my day to find a huge Emma Bridgewater lobster serving plate as part of the crockery!) We have two more stays booked in as this is our home from home xxxx thank you

Lovely Wella
Everything was perfect as usual - excellent attention to detail.
Our only recommendation would be to review heating system in the cottage.
Its supposed to come on 10am to 10pm as I understand. We found it would come on at random times during the night making sleeping uncomfortably hot in the bedroom with a bath. The bedroom with shower was cooler as I dont think the underfloor heating was working in that room (it never came on all week so it was actually quite cold when showering, getting dressed etc).
The lounge was quite cold in the evening so we used gas fire to warm up as the thermostat upstairs is locked.
Basically we found it difficult to regulate temperature throughout whole house as individual thermostats seemed to have a mind of their own. An engineer did come to look at the heating during our stay but it made little difference.
Other than that its a great little house

Wonderful Wella Truly Amazing
Wella is an absolutely stunning cottage, so beautifully decorated with lots of features that make it feel unique. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area was very spacious and provided all the facilities you could possibly need for a self catering holiday. There were games and toys to keep the kids amused so we were able to truly relax. The bedrooms were gorgeous with very comfortable beds and high quality bedding, we slept like logs. The en-suite bathrooms were also absolutely stunning and oozed luxury. Wella is situated in the heart of St Ives so all the amenities we needed were close to hand. We can't wait to book our next stay.

Beautiful cottage, perfect location
The only thing I would change about this property is the parking!
Otherwise it was home from home and if fit and able bodied the parking is a minor point.

An absolute Gem

Excellent location had a warm home from home feeling with everything you could ever need and more. Gary was first class with all our communication and we would book again in a heartbeat . First class !!

...what a wonderful cottage. My first time in St Ives and what a place to stay. You will not be disappointed if you book Wella. A beautiful stylish home in a great location, I am somewhat reluctant to share this with others for fear of it not being available for my next visit!Truly top notch which deserves the 5 star rating so many have given this property.

Perfect! We will return in the Autumn.
It just doesn’t get any better than this place.
