With its glorious sea views and smart interiors, this apartment makes for an idyllic beachside escape in Cornwall’s sought-after St Ives. In the living space, subtle nautical touches, a bespoke driftwood coffee table and humbug inspired wallpaper combine to create a cosy atmosphere. Throw open the sliding doors and bask in a salt-tinged breeze; watch the waves roll in and listen to the gulls guffaw overhead. Wake up refreshed in comfortable beds and cook something tasty for breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dish up on your private terrace when the weather’s nice or serve at the dining table if it’s blowing a gale out. Once you’re fuelled and raring to go, the very best of St Ives is no more than a ten-minute walk away. Begin with some arts and culture at the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden before sprinting to Porthminster Beach for vanilla-white sands and water that could rival the Caribbean. In the late afternoon, find a quaint team room for freshly baked scones – remember, the Cornish way is to put the jam on first.
