Sumptuous cottage for 2..

Approached over a small footbridge Blue Moon oozes a chic bohemian style. Downstairs there is a spacious and comfortable deep seated sofa opposite a large smart tv. It is open plan with a pretty kitchen behind which is well equipped to cook a meal for two with a compact larder fridge, electric hob/oven and a Nespresso machine. Although we think you might be tempted to dine out by the extensive choice of divine eateries in St Ives.

The shower room and loo with heated towel rail sits opposite the bottom of the stairs. Upstairs the main bedroom has a custom built super king bed and a built-in wardrobe and another smart tv. The room is wonderfully atmospheric with its sea mural, sand and violet blue colours, mirrors and exposed rafter high ceiling. Next door it boasts a dressing room with a built-in desk/dressing table.

So many instagram features for you to discover in this compact and simply gorgeous cottage. The perfect weekend bolthole for either a couple or a single traveller looking for somewhere more imaginative than the usual accommodation options in Cornwall.

The on site parking space has a size restriction. Width 1.9 metres x Height 1.7 metres. This is due to having to drive through the opening underneath the footbridge to get to the courtyard where the parking area is located. The slipway down is also steep so we do not recommend it for low riding cars. The parking space itself is standard sized. Other parking options can be arranged upon making a reservation.

Please note, we do not recommend Blue Moon for couples travelling with babies or toddlers due to the cosy nature of the cottage and the steep stairs.

A perfect place..

Blue Moon is moments away from Porthmeor Beach, in an area known for its thriving artist community. Porthmeor beach is renowned for its surfing, alfresco dining experiences and magnificent sunsets. You are spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring in St Ives, a five minute stroll through the cobbled streets will bring you to Bamaluz, Porthgwidden and Harbour beach, along with dozens of high quality restaurants, art galleries and a plethora of boutique shops.

Moon Shadow is the sister cottage to Blue Moon. Neighbouring cottages located on the footbridge.

Reviews

It was lovely to stay at Blue Moon. Very comfortable and in a brilliant location. Porthmeor beach a few footsteps away where you can watch the sun set, and if you are interested in art this is the place to be. If you love coffee there is a coffee maker and the apartment has everything you need. I really appreciated the milk and bottle of very nice champagne upon my late arrival. The bed was great which sometimes made it difficult to get up! I didn’t want to leave. If wanting to watch Netflix you have to create an account but Stan was ready to go. I would thoroughly recommend this beautifully done up place.

This is our 2nd time coming to stay at Blue Moon cottage. We were very pleased that we got a text to say our cottage was ready a few hours earlier than we expected. Once again the cottage was lovely to stay in and the welcome bottle of bubbly is always a lovely touch. We paid extra for breakfast again which is well worth it as we manage to make it last all weekend and it's very tasty. This time we chose to park in the long stay car park as having a kia sportage it was quite the squeeze getting the car in and out of the allocated parking space last year. But the parking for the long stay car park is only 1 minute walk away and is so cheap we didn't mind at all. We love the fact we are only a few minutes walk away from the shops and restaurants which there are plenty and some lovely walks. This year we also did the short drive to Hayle and had some lovely walks on Hayle and Gwithian beaches. The cottage is in the perfect spot for everything. Would highly recommend.

Blue Moon Cottage was absolutely idyllic. Location, setting, beautifully furnished, a true home from home. Felt intently relaxed there, and was very sad to leave . Will 100% be returning to stay again, and will be recommending it to friends and family.

I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was pristinely clean and the bedding, shower and overall facilities reminded me of a 5 star hotel. Perfect location close to the beach with all amenities in St Ives within a very short walk. The parking space was also extremely handy. I would certainly stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family. Thank you very much!

If Carlsberg did Cornish properties, then the Blue Moon is well worth putting on the list! The property is literally surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches (all within easy walking distance) and Porthmeor beach is literally yards away including a perfect headland walk which was ideal for our Cavapoo. The property was clean, very comfortable and well presented. We particularly liked the small touches to our convenience like having fresh milk in the fridge, coffee pods for the machine and the bottle of sparkling wine that my wife seem to enjoy with her fish and chips on our first evening.

The only thing I would certainly suggest you must do is to check the measurements of your car (which I did) because I wasn't sure if our Volkswagen T-Roc would fit through the very narrow entrance leading to the carpark at the rear of the property. The decent, along with the slight dogleg makes it all the more thrilling, but with wing mirrors folded in there was literally millimeters to spare either side! Once safely through there isn't really a lot of room to maneuver, particularly if there is already another car parked in the furthest bay. However, there are plenty of carparks nearby so don't let this put you off from staying at this wonderful property.

Amazing place right in the heart of St. Ives. It’s a lot bigger than we expected and the bed was amazing! Really enjoyed the stay and we will definitely be back. Lisa was great with her comms and made sure we had everything we needed before arrival. 10/10!

Lewis

We had such an amazing time at blue moon. The cottage is so well equipped and has everything you need for your stay. It’s located in a fantastic place right next to the beach and also super close to the harbour and shops!! The bed is very comfy too 😃

Charlotte

Great for couples as a base for St Ives. Fantastic location right next to the beach and the harbour. Premium interior design and gorgeous big bed. Private parking is a plus although only for small cars. Traditional fisherman's building so walls are thin. Property manager was better than some 5* hotel managers I have come across, excellent service.

Callum

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Blue Moon in St Ives. The cottage was lovely and very cosy. The Champagne was a lovely surprise especially as it was our 42nd wedding Anniversary and being able to park was brilliant. We would love to book again in the near future.

Blue Moon Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. The location is so great - the beach is literally on the door step. The cottage itself is compact but beautifully appointed , cosy and well thought out. The bedroom is gorgeous with the most comfortable bed. It’s dog friendly which made it perfect for us and our little fluffy boy. Communication was excellent both before and on arrival and the bottle of fizz in the fridge was a lovely surprise. I’d definitely recommend Blue Moon cottage for a couple with a small dog.

Elaine

We had a fabulous stay at Blue Moon, the property was super clean and had everything that we needed with some lovely luxuries like the Bramley products, luxurious towels, Nespresso, quality bed linen and a treat left in the fridge!

This property is ideally suited for the beaches, the nearest being just a 1 minute walk away (but there is great access to them all including the dog friendly beach), exploring the town and art galleries and all of the eateries.

Having parking is especially useful although be aware both the access to the space and the space itself is small.

Thank you for sharing this amazing property.
