FAMILY FRIENDLY HOLIDAYS IN ST IVES
St Ives is one of the UK’s favourite holiday destinations, and for good reason! The scenery is stunning, the beaches are safe and sandy, the restaurants are fabulous and there is plenty for families to do.
And if you are looking for a property that can accommodate your family (or extended family) and, most importantly, give you quality time together, you might wish to book one of our lovely St Ives holiday cottages in St Ives or Carbis Bay.
Our St Ives family cottages all come with washing facilities and extremely well-equipped kitchens so, if you do prefer to eat in, allows for you to cook up your favourite meals together.
