Upper Saltings

Imagine waking up to the serene whispers of the ocean and the hues of sunrise. Designed by award-winning architects, it has been described as “a zen-like paradise” and “St Ives best kept secret.”

Accommodating up to 12 guests, the sleeping arrangements are as unique as they are comfortable.

The large front room features a big double bed and a huge closet.

For a touch of brilliance and wonder, the bunk room, inspired by a ship’s cabin, houses six bunk beds under a mesmerising skylight.

The second double bedroom is right by the kitchen and is as cosy as it is quiet.

The master bedroom, a realm of tranquillity, comes with an ensuite, ensuring privacy and comfort.

Connect, create, and collaborate with ease, with ultra-fast Starlink and the latest WI-FI 6 mesh network, boasting incredible speeds from any room in the house.

Culinary enthusiasts will delight in our super well-stocked kitchen, equipped with absolutely everything needed to craft your delicious feasts, all while the ocean’s melody plays in the background.

Sit in the magical window seat and watch the sun setting on the water with the best view in St Ives.

Architectural brilliance meets the drama of Porthmeor Beach to create an unforgettable holiday.

Downalong is a brilliant part of town full of community spirit, traditional fishermans cottages and a maze of narrow streets. The beach is literally right in front of you and Porthmeor is one of the best known in St Ives. It is overlooked by Tate, St Ives, has a great cafe and is the best surf spot in town.

The narrow streets and busy car parks can make St Ives quite hard work in busy weeks, it’s by no means impossible but a pinch of patience is likely to be needed. The nearest car park is The Island which is about 100m away and is a public pay and display car park.

Alternatively you may travel by train, it’s a great way to enter our town as the branch line is beautiful and it’s a 10-15 minute walk from the station.

Upper Saltings is a beautiful property and we wish very much to keep it this way, we feel it is best suited to families and small parties of adults. We do not allow stag, hens or any similar gatherings.

Bedroom 3 can be made as a superking or twins by request in advance of check-in.

The ‘bunk’ room can sleep six guests, with three on each side of the room. This is a fun and bespoke bedroom, with built in beds and metal ladders. The top bunks are around 2.8m from the carpet.
