4 Island Road- St Ives Downalong Cottage

4 Island Road Access Statement

4 Island Road has been beautifully renovated to a bright, cosy space for the perfect seaside retreat. 4 Island Road is located on a level road with moderately level access to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

We aim to meet the needs of all our guests; however, 4 Island Road is a traditional Downalong cottage and is set over three floors so this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the cottage is unsuitable for wheelchair users. If you do require a wheelchair friendly property, please contact the Cherished where we can best advise you.

The kitchen/dining room and lounge are located on the ground floor, there are two double bedrooms on the first floor both with small en-suites and a twin room on the top floor with restricted head height.

There are blinds on the windows, radiators throughout the property which is controlled by a central heating Honeywell thermostat in the lounge. The floors in the lounge, kitchen and bathrooms are tiled, the stairs are carpeted and there are wooden floorboards throughout the bedrooms. There is a wood burning stove with fire guard in the lounge.
