St Ives · Cornwall
Boutique one-bedroom cottage in the heart of St Ives
A beautifully restored dog friendly holiday cottage for two, moments from Fore Street, the harbour and the beaches — with the rare luxury of private parking in St Ives.
A small place, beautifully considered
Self-catering in St Ives, shaped by stone, texture and light.
Little Pearl brings together restored character, exposed stone and a calm open-plan interior designed for easy St Ives stays.
Tucked just away from the bustle of Fore Street, it works beautifully as a boutique bolthole for two — central enough to walk everywhere, quiet enough to retreat, dog-friendly, and with the unusual bonus of a private parking space.
Little Pearl of St Ives is a boutique one-bedroom holiday cottage in the heart of St Ives, Cornwall — a self-catering retreat made for couples, solo travellers and short breaks by the sea. Sleeping two in comfort, it pairs a stylish, cosy interior with two things that are genuinely hard to find in town: a private parking space of its own and a warm welcome for your dog. Porthminster, Porthmeor and Harbour beaches, the galleries and the harbour front are all an easy walk from the door, making it an ideal base for a romantic weekend break or a longer Cornwall getaway.
