August in St Ives has its own momentum, especially with a family.
A day on the beach - one family’s story…
The Bunk room
You can fit a surprising amount of children into this ship inspired space. Best sleepover in St Ives here we come!

St Ives Beach Sauna
The cornish sea is much more welcoming when you know you can jump into a steaming sauna straight afterwards.
Best view in St Ives
The best view in St Ives needs windows that are delicate to the eye and hardy to the elements. Luckily our architects had it in hand.
You can book both Old and Upper Saltings together for larger families or groups

Beautiful property, with amazing views of the beach - spent a few lovely days on that window seat, watching the storms and sunrises over the sea. You can tell that it's a family property rather than just a business - loads of personal touches and bits of love-and-care which make it a perfect break.

We come back here every year for a very simple reason, because it is simply unbeatable. The location, the ambiance, the space, it is truly our happy place. The team are so welcoming, St Ives is a complete joy, and if you're lucky enough to find a free week, book it now, you won't be disappointed. We are truly in love with The Saltings, a holiday gem.

Gorgeous flats, both with so many tiny quirks that every time you look around you see something new, and yet the space feels utterly cool, calm and elegant. Of course the sea, beautifully framed by the huge window seats, is the prime attraction- we saw dolphins one day and a storm tearing across the bay the next! The bunk room (3 beds high!) is a personal highlight - many great games of pirates played in there while we were staying. Can’t recommend enough!
