The old fishing port of St Ives is Cornwall’s jewel in the crown with mild climate, spectacular beaches and a lively and vibrant artist’s colony, that few visitors fail to be attracted to.



The Cobbles offers bed and breakfast accommodation in a quaint fisherman’s cottage and former pilchard press, situated in the Downalong area in the heart of the town, next door to the Penwith gallery. It is also fortunate to be able to offer limited parking directly in front of the cottage.

The cosy bedrooms have an abundance of character and charm enhanced by Cornish works of art, including many by local artists Angela Diggle and Susie Brooks. Short films of other local artists can be seen at www.eiafilms.co.uk
