NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION?

There's no place quite like St Ives. The buzz of the town offers plenty to see and do, while a collection of tranquil beaches lie a mere stone’s throw away. When you’re not riding the waves off Porthmeor, the town itself is a treasure trove of art galleries, quirky shops, and fine restaurants.
