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 is a lovely bolt hole for two, and your four legged friend, to relax and unwind in throughout your stay in St Ives. The cosy apartment is all on one level and is perfect for enjoying nights in together cooking your favourite dish, or popping out to the nearby restaurants and bars without having to book a taxi home. You can be browsing the local shops and boutiques, or strolling barefoot in the sand on one of the five golden sandy beaches within minutes thanks to its central location. Spend your time enjoying the town and all it has to offer, or simply hop on the train to explore more of West Cornwall.

This was our second stay at lowen . We love the properties location , a few steps into the charming streets of st ives . Lowen is so comfortable with everything you need for a break . The accommodation is stylish and spotlessly clean . A return stay is without doubt guaranteed.

Lowen is a very nice well equipped flat placed above a shop in Fore street. A perfect apartment for a short stay for any couple, or for one person. It’s conveniently placed in the centre of the town. There are 12 steps up to the front door
Mrs Langley May 2024
Lovely small apartment in the middle of Fore street, right in the centre of St. Ives. Amid the bars and shops so not as quiet as you might like but never worried us. Highly recommended.
Mr Phelps Apr 2024
Our stay at Lowen was perfect . The apartment is beautiful and so comfortable. Everything we needed was provided, even a lovely welcome pack . The location was just incredible, a few steps onto fore street and the pretty town .We really enjoyed our stay and will without doubt return. The whole experience from booking to arrival was easy and even received a travel update warning of a minor road closure. Definitely recommend a stay at this idyllic location and accommodation for a relaxing holiday.

Great apartment for two, and the location is convenient, but not for light sleepers when the pubs empty out!

Being right in the very heart of the town there will be some noise, so the location may not suit everyone. But for those who want to be able to just step out the door and be right there in the heart of the bustling and beautiful St Ives, you don't get much better location than this. We hope that you enjoyed it. Tanya, Customer Services
Second time staying in Lowen, has everything you need and a great location. Would recommend using the Rugby Car park as all other car parks in the town are always full. Cant wait to go again : )
Mr Taylor May 2023
Lovely little apartment, well equipped with everything you'll need for a lovely holiday, great location close to all shops & restaurants, we really enjoyed our stay & will definitely be back.
Ms Carter Feb 2023
As with all of the holidays we have booked via Aspects the service and property were beyond expectations.
Mr McGrory Oct 2022
Lovely place to stay. Ideal location. Street can get busy early mornings being on the Main Street however this did not bother me as we wanted to be up and out. Lovely apartment will definitely be back.
Mrs Green Sep 2022
Lowen is a lovely, clean well equipped property even the stairs up to it are not too much of a problem. We found it hard to sleep at night due to noise from other properties. We expected some noise as it is half way up fore street, lots of shouting followed by bin men then deliveries. If you are heavy sleepers you're going to love it.
Mrs Charles Aug 2022
Fab location, loved the layout, perfect for a couple (and our pup). Kitchen amenities great, loved the utility and shelves which had all sorts such as dog bags, laundry pods etc. Everything including umbrellas and beach chairs had been so well thought of! We look forward to hopefully visiting again next year!
Seen other reviews mention noise on a night - please don't be put off by this! It wasn't as though you're living above a nightclub! Yes there was some noise people walking past, leaving restaurants etc but nothing bad or that would prevent sleep, and not too late either. If you want countryside silence, this is not for you, however if you want a fab location and a good nights sleep, then Lowen absolutely is the right choice!
Mr McMillan Jul 2022
Lovely little cute apartment, very well equipped, very convenient location. But it’s location does dictate it will be very noisy.

We are delighted to hear that you liked Lowen. Lowen is situated right in the heart of St Ives, just steps out from the front door to everything that St Ives has to offer, making it a very popular location for anyone wanting to be so close to it all, and wanting to avoid those dreaded hills! Being so close to all the restaurants, cafes, beaches and so on, you will hear associated noise, so we include a note to try and highlight that on the website description, so that guests will know what to expect before booking. We do hope that this was something that you were prepared for and that you agree that it is worth it for the convenience of being right there in the heart of it all. Tanya, Customer Services.
Enjoyed our break here in the centre of St Ives. Used a taxi from the allocated parking at the Rugby ground to and from the flat, well worth it after a long drive! Very comfortable accommodation.
Mr Martin May 2022
We had a fabulous stay at Lowen, property is in an excellent location and very very cosy and comfortable. It’s handy for the bars and restaurants and so close to the harbour too. We’ve had a great time walking with the dog. We would definitely like to visit and stay in property again in the near future and would happily recommend Lowen to friends and family.
Mrs Arnott Nov 2021
We enjoyed our stay at Lowen and found the apartment to be very clean, well equipped and in a great location for the town centre however please note that the apartment is right on Fore Street with only single glazed windows so a lot of noise from the town centre restaurants and pubs is to be expected, particularly weekend evenings until around 1am and from 6:30am in the morning from bin/recycling lorries. Potentially not suitable for those with young children or noise sensitive pets. Parking is at St Ives Rugby Club which is a 15 minute walk away, however there is a loading bay on the Harbour front with a small walk through to the apartment which is very useful for loading/unloading when you arrive and leave.

Thank you for your comments and we so glad to hear that you liked it here. The owners have confirmed that the property is double glazed, but being in such a fantastic central location, you may hear some of the hustle and bustle of the town. With that in mind, it may not be the right choice of place for everyone, but we hope that it was perfect for you, and that you enjoyed all the benefits of such an amazing location, literally steps from your front door to the beaches, restaurants, cafes, shops, galleries, and everything else that St Ives has to offer. Hopefully see you again soon! Tanya, Customer Services
Lowen was a beautiful, comfy stay! Had the most lovely week away - st. ives is absolutely gorgeous!
