St Ives

Lose yourself in a maze of narrow cobbled streets and alleyways bursting with galleries, craft and boutique clothes shops, cafes and artists studios. Chill out with a drink or splash out on the culinary delights at one of the top restaurants around the harbour, looking out at the fishing boats and clear water. Inspire your creative side with a visit to the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden and the Tate St Ives, with its regularly changing exhibitions and great roof-top cafe.

Watch the local surfers ripping it up at Porthmeor beach - or get in there and give it a go yourself! 

Dig out the walking boots and enjoy this breathtaking area of outstanding natural beauty from your doorstep or stroll down to the harbour when the fishing boats arrive with their sea friends, Mulberry Loft is your perfect base for exploring it all.
