About this cottage rental
Star Gazy is in a quiet pedestrian walkway, and there is a private parking space a short walk away, a tremendous bonus in St. Ives.The Porthmeor Beach is just a minutes walk from the cottage, with all the other beaches, cafes and little shops etc within a 5 minute walk. There are two large granite steps leading from the path into the cottage, and once inside there are 6 stairs taking you into the dining room, everything then is on one level. Star Gazy was originally built around 200 years ago as a store for fish, and was converted onto a comfortable 3 bedroom home about 100 years ago. Star Gazy retains several of its original features including stripped floorboards in the dinning room and bedrooms, and beams and exposed granite in the dining room. It is light and airy and overlooks the gardens in the meadow. Care has been taken in choosing furniture and equipment to make the cottage as quirky and comfortable as possible. A welcome pack containing tea and coffee will be waiting for you, and our housekeeper makes every effort to leave a few items in the cottage for your use, washing up liquid, salt, pepper, hand soap etc. All linen and towels are professionally laundered and included in the price. Beach Towels,Cots, buggies, highchairs, and other equipment may be hired directly from Star Linen St. Ives and will be delivered and collected for you. Local grocers etc are a 2 minute walk away. Supermarkets are on the edge of town.

We had a fantastic week at Star Gazy.
The cottage was spacious, light, bright, clean and so well equipped!
Location is in a really quiet street but still only a 2 minute walk to Porthmeor beach. We loved wandering down at night and watching the sunset.
Outside tap so useful for washing wetsuits.
Car park a bonus.
We would definitely return.

This sweet cottage is less than a minute’s walk from the beautiful Porthmeor Beach in St Ives. It has everything you need for a holiday. A real home from home feel too. You can easily get to the shops and, although there isn’t a view of the sea, you can hear the distant sounds of the waves from the beach which is really lovely! The only thing to be aware of is the parking is up a pretty steep road/steps and takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how fit you are and it can be tricky with traffic flow getting in and out of the parking spot. But overall it is a super place, especially if you intend to spend most of your time on the beautiful Porthmeor Beach!

There is a steep set of steps leading you to the first floor of the property. It does not have a safety rail. This is not up to code.
Otherwise it is a great place to stay.

Perfect location, opposite the beach just love St Ives
Perfect location right opposite the beach and two minutes from the town. Nice accommodation but could have been cleaner. I found crumbs in my bedroom and dirt between the settee. The accommodation did need updating and a proper deep clean. If your not too particular it’s the ideal accommodation at a good price.,

Lovely cottage in a great location
Great communication from the owner from start to finish.
Lovely cottage in a great location, but the steps may be problematic for some. It was great being able to get to the beach in seconds, as well as being able to walk into town so quickly. We didn’t use the car all week.

Perfect location, lovely cute cottage
We had a lovely stay at Star Gazy. The locations is perfect for Porthmeor Beach and the town. Having a car space was an added bonus. The cottage was great if a little worn but we were there at the end of a very busy season. Would definitely book again xx

Enjoyable stay
We had an enjoyable stay at star Gazy Cottage. Sandra’s communication was brilliant from booking to leaving. The location of the property was incredible-just a few feet away from the beach and shops.
I do think that maybe the bathroom could do with updating as the shower is very small. But all in all a positive stay. Thank you Sandra.

Lovely trip to St Ives
We had a great time at StarGazy, great location close to both town and the beach. Check in was simple and the owner was easy to communicate with. Although there’s a few steps to enter once you are in it’s great to have property all on one level. Would stay again

The best location
This place is lovely, in a great location close to the beach and shops but really quiet too. The property has some really lovely art work on the walls which was appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book Stargazy again, thank you:)

Stargazy is a little gem! Seconds from the beach and minutes from the harbour and town, it really is in the perfect location. Sandra left a lovely welcome bottle of wine and some essentials to get us started and her cottage is both traditional and beautiful. The parking space is a huge bonus too!Thank you Sandra, we had a wonderful week and will definitely book again!

Half term in St Ives
Cottage was lovely but the steep steps into the property should be highlighted on the main advert as it was tough to get up them with our cases!
The actual cottage was lovely and perfect for us as everyone had a bit of space.
Central location was fab too.
Great shore fishing from Porthmeor Beach. Lovely coastal walks and The Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum we’re worth a visit.

Delightful cottage
Perfectly located, quaint cosy cottage- very quiet location, a note of caution- stairs up to and into the property are steep. Car parking space is a fair distance from the property and there is a challenging walk to the parking space which in itself is a challenge due to limited space if one owns a bigger car. Bathroom although functional could do with updating (radiator, mirror, shower all rather tatty) this didn’t spoil our stay and we would certainly return here in the future.

StarGazy - the perfect retreat
A lovely cottage right in the heart of St Ives. The location couldn't have been better, a short walk to the shops, bars and restaurants and a minute from the beach. Star Gazy is the perfect place to stay, had every amenity we could want. Highly recommended, would certainly stay there again.

Cosy cottage in ideal location
Would heartily recommend. We were a party of four adults (parents and grandparents) and two children aged 4 and 5. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The check in process was quick and simple and the parking space is a massive bonus. We have a people carrier and it fitted in fine.
Plenty of hot water, the washing machine was very handy as was the outside tap.
There are some outside steps on the walk up to the house which are fairly steep but posed us no problems. Ideal location for Porthmeor beach and the harbour. You can’t see the sea from the property but you can hear it which was lovely.
We loved our stay, thank you so much.

Clean and tidy
It was close to the place we needed to be and also the beautiful beach of Porthmeor. The steps up into the property were very steep and difficult for my friend, even without luggage.

Location, location, location!
We loved our week at Star Gazy. The location is wonderful, on a very quiet alley, close to the beach, close to Fore Street, close to wonderful galleries starting with the Tate, and close to the Porthmeor Beach Cafe. The cottage is charmingly decorated with very comfortable beds and everything you need. The washer/dryer and the gas fireplace were especially appreciated.

Cosy, well-equipped and brilliant location.
This lovely little cottage is situated in Downalong but unlike most of the fishermans cottages here it is all on one level when you get inside. It was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. No sea views but
only a stone's throw from Porthmeor beach. Very close to excellent restaraunts and shops and no steep hills to climb if you are older or disabled as we were. We needed to contact the owner a couple of times but found the lady very helpful and we were made to feel very welcome and 'at home' we would definitely stay here again if in St Ives.
