Shopping in St Ives
From books to jewellery to freshly made food, shopping in St Ives is a Cornish tradition thanks to the cobbled streets and independent shops that line them.

Tucked away behind the harbour front of the beautiful town of St Ives, is an ideally positioned bolthole, perfect for couples or friends, who want to be within a short walking distance to the shops, bars, boutiques and restaurants that the town has to offer. The cottage has the benefit of zip and link beds, which makes it ideal for a romantic breakaway or a base for two friends to explore from. The shower room, being the first room as you walk in the front door, comes in very handy after spending the day at one of the five, nearby, golden, sandy, beaches, whether you've spent your time surfing, sunbathing or paddleboarding. After an evening stroll under the lights along the Wharf, and a stop or two for your favourite tipple, your evenings can be spent getting cosy on the sofa with your partner and your pooch while planning what tomorrow has in store.
Please Note: There is a refurbishment project taking place at a nearby property, which is approximately 10 meters away from 1 Carnglaze Place. This project has the potential to be seen and heard intermittently throughout the day from within the property, although we do not expect for this to cause any disruption. Should you have any questions or queries, please contact our Customer Services Team.

This was our third trip to Carnglaze Place and it didnt disappoint. We absolutely love it! It's in a great location to explore, right by the harbour and 5 mins from Porthmeor and has a car park really close by (something not to be taken for granted in St Ives!). The accommodation is super comfy and cosy and it feels like our home from home. We'll be going back again in March if we can!

Location of property is amazing, fab value for money.
Literally 30 steps to the beach!
We parked at StIves Rugby Club for the week for £45 (walking down to the town is fine but be prepared for a hike back to your car).
Already booked up again for next year!

This charming corner of St Ives is adjacent to Downalong and the iconic harbourside, known as The Wharf, and offers the best of both worlds: serene holiday cottages boasting traditional charm, yet only a few steps from the Harbour beach and the plethora of wharfside amenities.
Mount Zion is where St Ives harbour joins the old fisherman's quarter?

Lovely little cottage right in the heart of st ives!
Mrs Johnson-Dickin Jun 2024
We had a brilliant stay here for May half-term week - the location is perfect being so close to the beaches/shops/restaurants, and although there’s no parking it was easy to unload the car quickly on the harbour front. The property is just perfect for 2 people and a dog and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few dinners. The WiFi wasn’t the fastest and it was difficult to find the bin for our rubbish on departure but Aspects were very helpful in finding this for us. Would definitely recommend this property and we hope to stay here again!
Miss Bates Jun 2024
We had a lovely time at Carnglaze Place! The property is ideal for 2 people and a dog as there is so much space inside which can be hard to find in St Ives. Our Old English Sheepdog was really settled in the property and we loved the large bedroom with huge bed! The location is a stones throw from the harbour though really quiet and does not get any of the harbour noise. We would definitely book to stay at Carnglaze place again, it is ideal that they accept short breaks too!
Mrs Burgess May 2024
Very clean, spacious and comfortable one bedroomed , dog friendly, fisherman's cottage in the heart of St. Ives but set back from the harbour. Our favourite secret bolthole, which we like so much, we have booked it twice this year.
Mr Baker May 2024
Amazing place, my favourite I’ve stayed at in St Ives and will certainly book again. Amazing location, very spacious! Perfect for a couple with a dog, didn’t feel cramped at all like other properties in St Ives!
Miss Colley Apr 2024
Deceptively spacious property for two people and a dog and located footsteps from the harbour and dog friendly beach - perfect for sea swimming fans. Very comfortable bed and clean facilities throughout. Would book again.

1 Carnglaze Place is a perfect spot for a cosy break in St Ives. The property sits behind the harbour and has everything you'd need. We've stayed at the property twice and will do so again. The property is near the Tate, the island and Porthmeor beach, in a quiet area plus there's a lovely restaurant, Silco infront of it which is really worth visiting. Thank you for another lovely stay Aspects!
Ms Martin Mar 2024
We have just had a very comfortable two weeks in 1 Carnglaze Place, there was everything we needed & it was very clean. We have booked again for next year.
Mrs Smith Nov 2023
Another fantastic holiday in St Ives and brilliant cottage. Great location, perfect size and all the facilities that you could ask for. Will be coming back.
Mr Smith Nov 2023
Just enjoyed a lovely week at 1 Carnglaze Place, St. Ives. It is perfectly located in the heart of St.Ives and close to all the beaches/harbour/pubs/restaurants and shops. A spacious 1 bedroomed dog friendly cottage, just off Wharf Road, the property is accessed by several steps up to the door which leads into a practical area for coats and boots with a shower room and toilet. The living room/kitchen and upstairs bedroom were very clean, spacious and well equipped with a lovely homely feel and a fantastic king sized bed to ensure a great nights sleep. Looking forward to visiting St. Ives again next year!
Mr Baker Oct 2023
Comfy, very clean & cosy accommodation in excellent location. Would definitely recommend and will return.
Mrs Chater Jul 2023
Just a great cottage in a super location
Mrs Johnson-Dickin Jun 2023
We absolutely loved our stay at 1 Carnglaze. It was perfect for us and our dog, Rusty. We weren’t sure what to expect from the apartment as photos can be deceiving but we were thrilled with the size, layout and decor. There was a really homely feel to the apartment and lots of touches that made it feel special. We loved the entrance way which enabled us to take our sandy shoes off without treading sand through the apartment. The bathroom was lovely and airy with a good shower. The sitting room was spacious and light with two sash windows allowing fresh air. L The kitchen was well equipped and tastefully done. The bedroom was spacious and had the most wonderfully comfortable and super sized bed. There was a lovely touch from the housekeepers where we had been left a bottle milk and some chocolate along with a contact number should we need them. We will definitely book 1 Carnglaze again. Thanks you.
Miss Crane Jun 2023
Great place to get away and relax. Very good value for money.
Mr Lamb May 2023
Lovely little cottage just off the harbour front, excellent location, fully fitted with everything you need, furniture all to a high standard with super comfy large bed.
Would definitely use again.
Mrs Salt May 2023
Well appointed very comfortable
Mrs Mcbride Mar 2023
1 Carnglaze Place is perfect. We usually stay the other side of the harbour so it was great to be located on the island to explore there. The property is in an excellent location and the decor is clean, contemporary and comfortable. Will definitely go back.
Miss Martin Mar 2023
We had the most amazing Christmas and New Year break, the property was so comfortable and warm. The bed and linen was so soft it was a struggle to get out of bed each morning. The kitchen had every utensil you needed to cook especially a Christmas dinner, it was spotlessly clean and just a few steps from the harbour front, can’t wait to book again.
Ms Sansom Jan 2023
A nice place to stay but there is room for improvement. Noisy neighbors and the feeling of no privacy. I liked the space and the decor. The Flat was quite spacious considering where it was located. I also enjoyed a nice comfy king sized bed to myself.

We are sorry to hear this. We have never had any previous feedback on noisy neighbours before, though it is in a very central location with many properties in very close proximity. There had been some renovation works to a flat below, earlier in the year that we had feedback on, but this is completed, so thank you for letting us know. We will keep an eye on that, but hopefully it was just a one-off noisy week, with many properties in that area being holiday lets and having different guests in each week. We hope that you still had a fantastic time here. Tanya, Customer Services
Great little cottage
Mrs Johnson-Dickin Aug 2022
Great location but extremely difficult to find parking close by. Was a struggle to get the car close enough to drop off our luggage and then had to leave the car at the rugby club at the top of the hill because parking nearby was full.

It's great to hear how much you enjoyed the great location of 1 Carnglaze Place. Parking is unfortunately at a premium in St Ives; with many properties not having this facility. For those without this facility; it is always worth looking into parking options beforehand on the local council website and looking into private parking availability, particularly for peak weeks. There is also a park and ride facility which some find useful. Please feel free to contact the team for any advice. Thanks for your comments, and we hope to see you back here soon.

Mrs Gallerway Aug 2021
Beautiful cottage, perfectly placed and decorated thoughtfully with some lovely touches. Very comfortable huge bed, fabulous shower, lovely and warm throughout, we were so sad to leave!
Mrs Beech May 2021
Absolutely loved our stay at Carnglaze Place. We couldn't have asked for better location and the Island Car Park was a few minutes walk, easy enough for us to pop back to the car or transfer luggage. The place itself was modern and cosy, had a lovely Cornish cottage feel to it. We will definitely try to stay here on our next trip to St Ives!
Miss Emmerson May 2021
Lovely fresh and comfortable apartment, tucked away just a few yards from the harbour and beach. Beautiful furnishings and the flat is more spacious than expected. Very cosy and warm. (Note: the steep external steps to the door and internal stairs to bedroom make it unsuitable for elderly or those with mobility issues). Great service from Aspects Holidays. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, very modern and comfortable
Mr Fell Dec 2020
Brilliant location, lovely, cosy flat with charm and loads of space for two with all the amenities needed. Booking was easy and the key box and instructions meant that check-in/out was seamless.
Mr Clements Dec 2020
We had a great stay in a lovely place. Booking was easy and instructions were too. Lovely characterful property in a fantastic location.
Mr Matthews Nov 2020
A very tasteful and comfortable property in a wonderful location. A pity the heating was so low when I arrived but that was soon resolved. Excellent service from Aspects throughout.

We are very sorry that the heating had only been set to 16 degrees for your arrival but very glad to hear that once this was turned it, it warmed up nicely for you and that you found the property to be otherwise comfortable for your stay. Thanks for getting in touch. Tanya, Customer Services
Arrived in October - this property is very well presented in a fantastic location. Lovely to come back into from the cold, very cosy & comfortable.
Mrs Jones Oct 2020
A lovely break in a great location. Had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Great value for money and would definitely recommend.
