Driftshore Cottage

Driftshore Cottage has been beautifully renovated with bright and airy interiors to allow you immerse yourself fully into the beautiful town that is St Ives. The property has been carefully coordinated to allow you to enjoy spending time with your friends and family in the downstairs open plan set up, all the while offering spacious bedrooms for you to have the privacy you may want after a long day at the beach.

Driftshore Cottage is located in the heart of the popular Downalong back roads of St Ives meaning you are minutes away from most of the restaurants, bars, beaches and shops that St. Ives is famous for.

The cottage is set on three floors, the first being the open plan kitchen/lounge/diner, the second boasting a full-size family bathroom, a bunk room and a super king master bedroom with an ensuite.
