19 Street An Garrow

19 Street An Garrow is a two-storey former fisherman’s cottage in the dense grid of lanes at the heart of St Ives, 200 metres from the harbour beach and 300 metres from Porthminster, the sheltered south-facing sand below the railway station. Two double bedrooms sleep 4 across the upper floors, with the open-plan kitchen and living area on the ground floor.

The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden - one of the largest single-artist museums in the UK - is a 3-minute walk from the door. St Ives Harbour, with its fishing boats, crab shacks and independent galleries, is immediately outside. There is no outdoor space and no parking at this property; the narrow medieval street layout makes both impractical, but neither is needed here.

The cottage has a rating of 3.8 from 15 reviews on HolidayCottages. Scores are solid for cleanliness, equipment and location, though comfort is rated 3 out of 5 - the compact layout across narrow stairs suits two couples or a small family, but groups expecting large living spaces should note this is a traditional Cornish townhouse, not a barn conversion.

WiFi and dog-friendly throughout. Best for couples or pairs of couples who want to walk to everything. Not great for anyone relying on a car - parking in central St Ives costs extra and space is very limited.
