Nestled behind Fore Street's boutiques, bakeries and cafes, this 15th Century gem is perfect for those who love being close to the beach yet away from it all. ## Reviews 9.8 Exceptional ### Entire home 2 bedrooms1 bathroomSleeps 4 ## Popular amenities - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Saffron Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms Tucked away in the heart of St Ives just metres from its pretty harbour and seafront, Saffron Cottage is a hidden gem. One of just a few properties in the town's 15th Century Academy Place, the cottage nestles in blissful obscurity behind Fore Street's boutiques, bakeries and cafes. There are no street-facing windows or clues to its existence other than an inconspicuous set of steps running between two shops, so for guests who love the idea of being away from it all yet close to the beach and the town's terrific restaurants, it's simply perfect. Once inside, you'll feel immediately welcomed into a cosy space awash with period features and comfortable furnishings. Low beamed ceilings and exposed dry-stone walls in the living area nod to the building's age and heritage, while the two upper floor bedrooms create bright and airy sanctuaries for relaxation and sleep. To access the cottage guests will need to climb 13 steps which may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. 1 pet accepted: Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105380000/105372600/105372551/11a47d06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### May Cottage - A lovely pet-friendly cottage with courtyard garden, just 7 minutes walk from St Ives St Ives - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-16&endDate=2026-01-17&selected=105372551&PinnedHotelID=105372551&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, travel cot](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/46000000/45990000/45985300/45985296/37914af4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Porthmeor Beachfront in St Ives With Parking Cornwall - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-16&endDate=2026-01-17&selected=45985296&PinnedHotelID=45985296&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/47000000/46510000/46508100/46508060/b2d3bbe7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A stunning ground floor apartment with a large outdoor terrace and sea views.

Better than we could possibly have expected for this town centre location. Ideally positioned for all shops, restaurants and beaches. ##### Richard H. ### 8/10 Good #### Carolyn E. 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A small but very nice space--and very quiet, even on a busy festival week. Our only real complaint was that the company that manages the space refuses to provide more than one roll of toilet paper, no matter how long you're staying. It's so weird and inexplicable, and even though it cost only a few pounds to buy a pack, it left us with a really poor impression of this company. ##### Carolyn E. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 4 Jul 2023 #### Saffron Cottage Exceeded Our Expectations The property is ideally located right in the heart of St Ives. The property is beautiful and was spotlessly clean. Everything was provided and it exceeded our expectations. It has a small courtyard, where at certain times of the day we could catch the sun and enjoy a drink. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom and shower was ideal.We hope to be returning again very soon, we loved it. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S. 15 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location ##### Michael S.
