Star-Gazy is a delightful coastal retreat, thoughtfully transformed from a historic pilchard store and set in the peaceful surroundings of The Meadow. Just moments from Porthmeor Beach in the heart of Downalong, it blends character and comfort beautifully, offering a warm, fully equipped space that’s perfect for relaxing breaks throughout the year.
The accommodation is accessed via six steps up from pavement level, after which everything is conveniently arranged on one floor. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming dining room with an extendable table that comfortably seats up to six guests, alongside a well-equipped kitchen featuring a washer/dryer and everything needed to prepare a hearty breakfast or a picnic for the beach.
There are three thoughtfully furnished bedrooms: a double room with a comfortable Victorian iron bed and wash basin, a twin room with charming antique pine beds and a nautical theme, and a third bedroom with full-size bunk beds. The bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower.
The cosy living room is perfect for unwinding, complete with a leather sofa, flame-effect gas fire, TV, and Wi-Fi. Additional amenities such as a travel cot and beach towels can be arranged in advance, and designated parking is available nearby.
St Ives is a picturesque town to explore, home to art galleries galore, an idyllic harbour, cobbled streets, quirky shops, pubs, seafood restaurants and beaches to unwind while looking at the clear blue sea. You can also venture out and explore some of the charming coastal villages and towns in the area. Attractions to visit include:
