Camellia Cottage
Summary
Camellia Cottage is a double fronted, mid-terrace cottage located on one of the most historic cobbled streets in St Ives, The Warren. Dating back to the 1800s, The Warren is popular with guests all year round leading directly to Porthminster beach along Lambeth Walk. The cottage is set above the street up a few granite steps leading to the front garden, giving it some privacy and separation from the lane below, also providing some space to leave your wetsuits and beach gear after a day out with the family.

Summerhouse and sea views..
Camellia Cottage first greets you into a sizeable open-plan living / dining room which spans the total width of the house. The living area boasts plenty of comfortable seating for around 9 or 10 people around the charming fire, perfect for those cosy movie nights with the family. At the back of the property is a quaint yet well equipped kitchen with an open hatch into the dining room for the easeful passing through of Sunday roasts and conversations while cooking.
Half way up the stairs you will find the back door leading out to the property's unique features, the large terraced garden, annex and summer house. The annex which houses a brand new extra double with single bunk bed and shower room with WC finished to a fresh and modern standard. Succulents and ferns fill the garden up to the summer house which has its own kitchenette and seating area. A large table with plentiful seating overlooks the most incredible, panoramic view of St Ives Bay and out to sea. The summerhouse is ideal for preparing meals to enjoy al fresco on a warm summers day or relaxing evening.
The top floor of the main house is where the 3 bedrooms and family bathroom are found. The first bedroom is better suited for the kids with bunk beds, the bottom being a double. The main bedrooms both occupy the front of the cottage with double beds and vanity sink units. With ample hanging and storage space for clothes and a dressing table for makeup. Upstairs is light and airy, with charming coastal themed artwork and lovingly restored solid wood flooring. The family bathroom is also a great size and it conveniently has a separate bath and shower cubical, heated towel rail, toilet and wash-basin with storage underneath.
A perfect place..
Camellia Cottage welcomes large families of up to 8 guests and the dog! This property really is an ideal home away from home for a beach getaway in the most sought after destination in Cornwall, moments away from all the shops, bars, restaurants and beaches.
The Warren is a beautifully quiet and quaint spot, yet centrally located and within easy walking distance to the bus and train station. The train station offers pay and display parking which many people holidaying in St Ives opt to use. You are also only a short and gentle walk to Porthminster beach and St Ives town centre. The Warren is a conservation area and is one of the oldest streets in St Ives so has a lot of character.

Reviews
A cosy cottage in a comfortable position, a comfortable flat walk to the harbour side and town centre, or head in the other direction for the swimming beaches. Lisa and the gang have kitted the cottage out well and it’s suitable for a large family, or a group of friends spending a break away. Don’t know what the area would be like during high season as I avoid tourist traps at those times like the plague. All being said, a cosy getaway cottage with all the Amenities to hand. Thanks for a lovely stay. Jerry
Fantastic place to stay in St Ives. Couldn’t really get a better location and the view from the decking is stunning in the sun. Everything was clean and prepared for us - recommend staying here.
We stayed at Camellia Cottage for a weeks stay in November, also working from there for a few days.
The place is fantastic and it would be even better in the warmer season, with the patio and summer house fully usable, but its location very close to the harbour and seasides was the best part.
The description was spot on and the communication quick and efficient. Lisa was especially kind in making arrangements for a different check-out time due to some work commitments on our end.
We will definitely come back if we have the chance!
Wow! What's not to like about this place! brilliant hospitality, amazing place, what a treat. tha ks and we'll be back soon 🙂
Gorgeous house, very warm and cosy and, well equipped. The garden is beautiful, and the views of the sea over the roof top were amazing.
