About Nancherrow Holiday Self-catering Cottage

Nancherrow Holiday Cottage St Ives. Self-catering and Bed and Breakfast

Nancherrow Cottage is a beautiful old cottage with modern conveniences, situated in the quaint quarter of the town known as “Downalong”. 

The cottage is just off the main harbour area, close by to all local amenities and beaches, ideal for a family holiday.  However, due to the fact that there are six steps up to the front of the cottage, we do not consider it to be “wheelchair friendly”. 

But from the point of view of convenience, it is in an enviable position, so close to everything.

Layout of the cottage

From the front door you walk into a lovely open hall/porch area, which has wicker and basket chairs, a bookcase and desk.  Ideal as a sitting area.

The large lounge, dining room and kitchen, are located on this ground floor, with a pine staircase leading to a landing leading to  four ensuite bedrooms, one with king size bed with ensuite bathroom, one with double room with ensuite bathroom, and two further rooms with king size beds, with shower rooms.

The lounge has a solid oak floor with 2 large sofas, and a large matching chair and pouffe, oak sideboard and two smaller lamp tables, plus matching coffee table.  There is a 37” flat screen tv, dvd and vhs player, also a cd player.  You will also find a small library of dvd’s and videos. 

The separate dining room has a dark polished pine table and eight chairs, together with a small serving table and  pine dresser.

The kitchen has a five burner range, plus warming plate, full size dishwasher, very large fridge/freezer, microwave, plus “island” for breakfast use with two upright stools.  There is crockery, cutlery and glassware for 8 persons, saucepans, and cooking utensils.
