A stylish and beautifully presented town-house, superbly positioned with fantastic views of the sea across St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse and the North cliffs beyond.
Location:
Fantastic location with beaches, shops, restaurants and galleries all within a 5-15 minute walk. Porthminster Beach being 5 minutes downhill, while Porthmeor Beach, on the other side of St Ives, is more like 15 minutes if you go straight there and are not side tracked by all the lovely views, shops and restaurants!

Stunning house with stunning view

The lookout is a fantastic holiday home with wonderful outdoor areas to sit and gaze at the beautiful coastline of St Ives. When we arrived it was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need and all fantastic quality. Would definitely stay again.

That morning view!!

For me the best part of the day was to walk out onto the terrace , admire the garden and see how Godrevy was doing!! I know St Ives very well and the house was perfect for us all, ideally placed, very comfortable and stylish, we wanted for nothing. Rosie, our host, dealt with any queries immediately… what more can I add?

Loved The Lookout

My family and I had an amazing stay at The Lookout! The house was extremely clean, very well maintained and equipped with everything we needed to make us feel right at home. Location is great, only a short walk to the beach and into town. Amazing views and we loved the deck area. Rosie and Simon were amazing, best hosts! We already can't wait to come back.

St Ives Family Holiday

This property was excellent in every way with great attention to detail. Rosie had thought of everything that we could need and kept us well informed before and during the trip. The house was in an excellent location with sea views and a short walk to town but far enough away from the busy streets. The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. An excellent week and we would return

Fantastic

A great spot that is very close to town, but secluded enough to have your own privacy. The view is georgous and Rosie has clearly thought through the whole living space. The place feels lived in, it didn't feel like another holiday home, but a place you want to spend time in.

Beautiful house with amazing views

We stayed here with my teenage children and parents. The house is spotlessly clean and has everything you should wish for. The views from every floor are stunning! The large outside space at the rear of the house is perfect with the addition of a small veranda which was needed with the typical English weather we had! All 3 bathrooms were fitted with lovely powerful showers and quality fittings. The new kitchen has everything you need and has a stunning views! We absolutely loved the house and were sad to leave after 10 nights despite not having the best of weather for summer! It was a 10 minute downhill walk to Porthminster beach which great, a little longer on the way back as there are a quite a few steps or you can do a longer less steep route back! Likewise a 10 minute walk to the harbour which has delightful restaurants, bars and shops. We booked a few restaurants in advance but were also able to walk into others. Communication from the owners Rosie and Simon, was excellent as was the welcome pack, we were also allowed an early check in which was very much appreciated after a very early start! 10/10 we all loved the house, thank you for sharing it!

Luxurious, Peaceful & Relaxing Holiday

The Lookout is a beautiful house, stylishly decorated and furnished to a very high standard. The sea view is breath taking from all three floors of the house. We felt extremely comfortable here. Rosie is a wonderful host, keeping in touch and ensuring that we were happy and that all was okay. If you enjoy golden sandy beaches, wonderful walks and lovely restaurants within walking distance, you will love staying at The Lookout! Thank you again!

Great house, great location

What a great place to stay in St. Ives. The house was excellent and you could see a lot of thought had gone into the refurbishment. Great views from every room and superbly well equipped, with everything you would ever need. A lovely welcome pack upon arrival, including a hand written greeting card. A lovely touch. Rosie was a great host, always on hand if needed. Wouldn't hesitate to go back and also recommend it to anyone else visiting St. Ives

Lovely short stay.

We stayed at the Lookout for 5 nights and found the accommodation perfect for us. Everything you could possibly need is provided by Rosie and Simon. The accommodation itself is modern and comfortable. Rosie briefly contacted us to make sure everything was ok (which it was ) and was always on hand if needed. I would 100% recommend the Lookout to families wanting to stay in St Ives.

About the host

Hosted by Rosie and Simon

Host profile image
We live in The Cotwolds and have 3 grown up children. I grew up in Camborne so Cornwall has always been a big part of our lives and with the family connection we are frequent visitors. The joy of running The Lookout is that we can share our love of Cornwall and St Ives which has always been a special favourite.
The picture is taken on the walk from St Ives to Zennor.

Why they chose this property


We love St Ives because of it's timeless, picturesque quality : spending sun soaked days on the beach, browsing the art galleries, superb pubs and restaurants and fantastic Coastal walks. It is the quintessential English family holiday destination with all its variables in scenery, beaches, coastline and of course, weather!

St Ives is a destination for all the family young and old. It is a romantic place with an extraordinary light which draws artists and artisans from all over the world, You can find peace and a place to party, no-one is left with nothing to do.

From St Ives, you could take a day trip to the Scilly Isles, or the Eden Project or any number of National Trust Houses and Gardens, not least St Michael's Mount or Trencrom, a Neolithic Tor Enclosure from which you can see Godrevy Lighthouse on the North Coast and St Michael's Mount on the South.

It is a destination you get hooked on and will want to return to time and time again. The tide is ever changing, but the beauty of this place is constant and timeless.

Another huge plus is you can either walk to Porthminster Beach or to the centre of town easily within 10 minutes, yet it is tucked up and away from all the bustle of a vibrant and popular seaside destination.

What makes this property unique

In 2022, we completed a huge remodelling project with a newly fitted kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and sitting room, all done to the highest standard. The house is furnished and decorated not to be like a standard holiday let, but a home we want to share, with home comforts and ascetic touches for your enjoyment.

We love this house because of it's airy yet comfy feel. As soon as you walk in you are drawn through the Hall to the stunning views from the Kitchen. You can further enjoy the views from the sitting room on the first floor and the master bedroom at the top of the house.

There are wooden floors throughout the ground floor which add to the light open feel as soon as you enter the House.

There is plenty of room outside for alfresco dining, barbecues or simply relaxing on the sun terrace.

One of the main benefits of this house it is light and spacious with panoramic views. The fact that it is also within walking distance of beaches, shops and restaurants and has parking is a huge advantage. You can spend the whole week in St Ives, or go out on a day trip without worrying about where to park on your return.
