Set in St Ives and only 700 metres from Porthmeor Beach, Uno - St Ives offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated homestay is located 800 metres from Porthminster Beach and 1.1 km from Bamaluz Beach. The homestay features family rooms.

Everything about Uno is great! Brilliant views from the exterior to interior. We stayed in the Stargazer room, it was spacious and clean and neat and weather you're in bed or sitting on the comfy sofa, the views were fantastic!! Lovely! Brilliant! Breathtakingly beautiful! 😍 ❤ just Looking out over the cathedrals and out towards St.Ives Bay. Views are so beautiful at night too and peaceful atmosphere 😌 Biggest square rainhead shower ever was a bonus! And the room has good skylight features and roof windows so could open them for fresh cool air anytime of the day/night. Owners were both lovely and friendly and helpful. Stayed an extra night as we couldn't get enough of the views from that beautiful room. Comfortable bed too!! We liked that town was only a 2min walk down the footpath from Uno House and the bay/beach side only a walk away as well from Uno. Some great restaurants by the seaside!! You know your car is safe n sound parked at Uno house so didn't have to worry bout that! You won't regret spending a night at Uno. We certainly didn't. We loved every bit of being there in a peaceful, calm and relaxed environment with gorgeous views inside and out! ❤❤

    Amazing breakfast spread and your choice of hot food, you also have sea views while eating. The bed was massive and so so comfy. The location is right on the beach and there’s a bus stop if you’re not good with hills/ walking too far.

    I couldn’t recommend this place enough! It’s right on the beach, perfect location, so homely and beautiful decor. The staff were so attentive & they couldn’t do enough for you. They gave us some brilliant recommendations for whilst we were there. Also breakfast is included which was absolutely delicious, loads of choice off the menu & freshly baked croissants every morning. It was that lovely I’ve booked for next year before we even left.

    The apartment itself was well equipped and comfortable, it was a Quality living environment in perfect location to beaches art galleries, cafes and local shops. The convenience of location meant we could do a quick wardrobe change/ shower from beach to shops or restaurants and make whimful decisions to take in the sunset over the beach after dinner and a movie.

    Excellent location to reach all the beaches and town without using a car. Good location for parking on island carpark and with a rover pass worked out much cheaper for a week with the added bonus of being able to use most long stay carparks throughout Cornwall. Lovely feel about the cottage and good space for 4 adults and 2 children, nice seaside decor throughout the cottage.

    Saltwater is located away from the busy waterfront restaurants and bars and close to The Tate, surf beach and walking paths. Yet, you can still walk easily to town, to the train station or to any St Ives attractions from Saltwater. My room was in the attic top floor which gave me a nice view of the ocean. It was bright and cheerful and I really appreciated having a little table and chairs to sit at in my room.
