Tinhay

Introduction

Tinhay is a beautiful house on a pedestrianised terrace with views over St Ives bay.

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

Tinhay is located just above the town and access to the shops, restaurants and beaches is a short walk downhill.

The kitchen/diner and living room are located on the ground floor along with a shower room. Up to the 1st floor you have a family sized bathroom, a king size bedroom and a double bedroom and finally on the 2nd floor there is a en-suite superking/zip & link bedroom. The front of the property has a small garden and patio area for you to enjoy the outside away from the crowds.

WIFI is provided free of charge.
