The Old Bakehouse

Introduction

The Old Bakehouse is a traditional stone cottage in the Downalong area of St Ives. We aim to meet the needs of all our guests, however, the property is set over two floors so this can make access for guests with limited mobility difficult and the cottage is unsuitable for wheelchair users.  The property provides a high chair and a travel cot for guests use during their stay.

The Old Bakehouse is located on a level road with moderately level access to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

The kitchen/dining room and lounge are located on the ground floor, with one king bedroom, bathroom and single bedroom on the first floor.
