Built facing the St Ives Wesleyan Chapel, which has often been referred to as ‘The Mother Church of Cornish Methodism’, St Ives was one of the first Cornish towns to embrace the Methodist beliefs of John and Charles Wesley. Despite this, at first the 2 brothers were far from welcomed by the fisherman and miners of the town. Tastefully furnished and decorated by the owners, An Argh Vyghan is an ideal destination for families looking for a base close to the amenities but away from the hustle and bustle. Situated less than a moment’s walk from the closest convenience store and only five minutes’ walk from Fore Street, The Wharf and all the beaches, this cottage provides a modest but comfortable retreat. Ground floor Sitting room: comfy 2-seater sofa, 2 easy chairs, coffee table, lean-to book case and Smart tv. Feature steam-bent lamp shades. Kitchen: oven with induction hob, washing machine, fridge and separate freezer. First floor Bedroom 1: double bed, side table, easy chair and open hanging rail. Feature steam-bent lamp shade. Bedroom 2: bunk beds Shower room: shower cubical with mains-fed electric shower, WC and wash hand basin. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 248 square feet ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104490000/104489700/104489621/f756edba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Bedroom Static Caravan on a holiday Park in Cornwall with onsite indoor Pool Four Lanes - Kitchen - Laundry room - Microwave 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=104489621&PinnedHotelID=104489621&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106380000/106376600/106376510/38a4917d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mount Pleasant - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms St Ives - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=106376510&PinnedHotelID=106376510&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30050000/30044100/30044086/92fe7aad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cornish Pearl.
