Victoria House nestles amongst the fishermans cottages of ancient Downlong, the historic and very picturesque quarter of St.Ives, characterised by a maze of narrow cobbled pedestrian alleyways. Tasteful and comfortable, the flat has stunning views over the harbour and the bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. Whether you want galleries or shops, walking or surfing, pubs or restaurants, St. Ives has it all! With the arrival of The Tate and Eden Project, Cornwall and especially St. Ives is now very much a year round destination. Expect hot sunny golden beaches in the summer and exciting, bracing storms during the winter. Perfect!

As a result West Cornwall beaches easily conform to the European Commission's stringent guidelines.

Further details
A mild climate, warmed by the gulf stream and almost frost-free winters makes it possible to grow plants and shrubs normally native to semi-tropical countries hundreds of miles further south, certainly contributing to the reason why St. Ives regularly wins the 'Britain in Bloom' competition. As well as its tradition of fishing, St. Ives is world famous as an art centre and studios, shops and galleries are everywhere. The Tate St. Ives, part of the Tate Gallery in London, was opened in 1993 and is, rightly, the flagship of Cornish art. The Gallery's inspirational building stands high above the magnificent surfing beach of Porthmeor and features exhibitions which represent the modern 'St. Ives School' of painters such as Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Sir Terry Frost as well as a changing programme of other contemporary work. Also part of the Tate Gallery is the Barbara Hepworth Museum, a lasting memorial to the great sculptress who lived and worked in St. Ives at her Trewyn Studio. Take a leisurely walk along some of the miles of coastal footpath, perhaps to Lelant and soak up the sounds and images of the mythical and rugged land. Take the opportunity to return by branch line train along what has been described as one of the most spectacular railway journeys in Britain as the track hugs the edge of the cliff in a spectacular feat of Victorian engineering. Enjoy the view across to Godrevy Lighthouse, immortalised by the novelist Virginia Woolf, or take a short boat trip to watch seals basking on the rocks in the sunshine. St. Ives has something that will appeal to everyone, young or old.
