Ship’s Loft Cottage, Downalong, St Ives

Introduction

Ship’s Loft Cottage is a two storey fisherman’s cottage located in the heart of St Ives with easy access to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

We aim to meet the needs of all of our guests, however as the property is set over two floors this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the cottage is unsuitable for wheelchair users. Guests with limited mobility are advised to continue reading the access statements for more information on the apartment, and call the Cherished office if you need any further details.

The cottage has two street entrances. The entrance on Norway Lane has three steps into the cottage to bring you to the upper level. This is a light open space encompassing the living, dining, kitchen areas. Stairs down to the lower level lead to the bedrooms and bathrooms, and the back door leading out to the rear of the cottage.
