Camellia Cottage St Ives | RETIRED PAGES
Self-Catering Holiday Accommodation in St Ives

Sleeping upto 6 people in 3 bedrooms

Advertising on the website from March 2004 until September 2014, Camellia Holiday Cottage in St Ives offered Holidays in a beautiful double fronted granite cottage in the heart of St. Ives. Sleeps up to 6 in 3 bedrooms with stunning panoramic sea views from the garden, which is equipped with seating and BBQ.

Only one minute's walk from the wonderful sandy Porthminster Beach and two minutes walk from the town centre and harbour front.

Camellia Cottage is a double fronted, granite, ex-fisherman's cottage in one of the most sought after locations in St Ives.

The cottage id decorated to a high standard using traditional materials wherever possible, and still retains many original features.

Sea glimpses can be seen from the front bedrooms, and magnificent panoramic views over St Ives bay from the decked area.

Unusual for St Ives, Camellia Cottage has a tiered garden, with the top level decking for daytime sunbathing or evening sundowners and the "Outdoor Chef" Gas BBQ makes eating outside exceptionally easy.

Unfortunately the number of steps up to the cottage and up to the decking through the tiered garden, does make the property unsuitable for anyone who has difficulty managing steps.
