Beautifully restored traditional fisherman's cottage, with a lovely light Scandinavian feel to it. Wonderful sociable kitchen area with spiral staircase up to lounge. Sleeps up to 5 guests.
A stone's throw from the Harbour and everything St Ives has to offer, a small outside space to the front of the house and complimentary WI-FI internet access.

Wonderful stay

So easy to get to all the beaches with a young family, quiet spot with no passing traffic. Comfy beds and tasteful furniture and decoration. Liked having 2 entrances keeping lounge / upstairs clean of sand. Well equipped with everything we needed. I would prefer the second bedroom as a twin as we have 3 kids.

This was the second time we have stayed at Red Sails and we were reminded of its excellent location between the harbour and Porthmeor beach. The house is charming , cosy and shipshape. We very much appreciated that we could bring our dog.

We had a fantastic time at Red Sails. The house is beautifully decorated and clean throughout. It’s in a perfect location with the beach, shops and restaurants within walking distance. It would be great to have a bath at the property and a room with two single beds to accommodate children but that is just personal to us, the house couldn’t be improved really! Thank you for having us and giving us such special memories.

Excellent location. Comfortable cottage, well equipped. We are a
Family of 3 and one dog. It would have been less comfortable at maximum occupancy an additional small sofa upstairs and a larger kitchen table to use the space in the kitchen, to make this empty area more of a place to sit and socialise with the family would maximise the cottage’s potential along with a small piece of flexi hose on the outside tap to wash down boards etc. All in all a good value clean and comfortable cottage in an excellent location. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to spiral staircase.

Hi Karen, Thank you for your review - we will certainly pass your feedback to the owner of Red Sails . Luckily we have the outside steps for easier access up from the kitchen, as you point out, the spiral staircase is not always ok for everyone!

Ideal location for all of St Ives

Perfect location in quirky cottage - 3 storey building with 2 external stairs which helped if your pet cannot master the internal spiral staircase.
Great facilities comfy and good for early evening sun on front paved area.
Would come back again without hesitation

This is our fourth stay here and we return because it’s the best St Ives property we’ve stayed in. I’m really picky and struggle to find fault with its location, cleanliness and comfort. Comfy seating downstairs in the wasted space at the opposite end of the kitchen would be good, especially when there are five staying.

Hi, Thank you for your lovely review of Red Sails, we are so pleased you have had yet another lovely stay & good weather too! Tim

Great weekend (as usual) in St Ives.

Location of property was perfect - within a minutes of all the beaches, bars and restaurants. Good time to go, as quitter and more relaxed - You can get into all the restaurants without a battle. Only 2 of us, so cottage was great, as didnt have to shae bathroom with anyone. Quality of furniture, beds, bedding, kitchen etc was great, and very quiet at night even though you are in the centre of everything.

We have stayed in the Downalong area of St Ives before so we know it’s a perfect location for the beaches, harbour and town centre. Red Sails is a lovely spacious cottage, very well equipped and well decorated. There is no car access immediately outside but you can drop off easily a few metres away. The harbour is minutes away down the cobbled street, though those with limited mobility might find this a bit tricky in wet conditions as it’s on a small slope. The house itself has a spiral staircase from the kitchen up to the living room but the access from street level is on the flat. There are also steps from outside directly up to the first floor front door in the living room. Lovely bathroom, beware the low doorway, and a second en suite toilet in the main bedroom is very handy. Lovely cottage.

Red Sails is the perfect holiday cottage in St Ives.We had a really lovely week.Quite quickly we became part of a chatty community .
Excellent location.Very central and near to shops and restaurants.
Bright and minimal inside.Easy to keep tidy.
Lovely towels and bedlinen.Really comfortable beds.The kitchen is big has everything you need.Its really well thought out.
We had one thought that a second sofa in the sitting room would work better for comfort than the chairs.

Hi Noelle, Thank you for your lovely review of Red Sails. We will certainly pass your feedback regarding the seating onto the lovely owner of the house. Very best wishes Tim & The Team!

I loved Red Sails! It’s in a super spot, minutes from harbour and my favourite beach, Porthmeor. It was spotless and the Cornish goodies much appreciated!! The styling of the property is ace, a mix of old and new and bed was super comfy! Great kitchen and shower, the only negative(didn’t matter as there were only 2 of us) is the bathroom is off the sitting room, which could be a bit awkward if 2 couples went together.xx
