Magical old converted sail loft beautifully designed for the ultimate bare foot holiday on one of Cornwall’s most stunning beaches. Designed by artist architects this place is unique. Fully equipped to be able to cook for large family gatherings. The best sunset views in St Ives. Bliss.

This is the place from an early coffee throughout the day to talk life and the universe. Watching the changing light on the giant day bed hanging over the sand, is completely addictive. As dusk darkens reflections of friends making dinner get stronger in the glass and finally you turn from the sea to the nights festivities. Both living space at Old Saltings and Upper Saltings are the biggest rooms I have had the chance to enjoy. This means there is room for everything to happen all at once without friction. It’s like living in a film.

It’s rare a place exceeds expectations, but Upper Saltings does just that. A stunningly, magical apartment directly overlooking the beach with astounding views, incredible sunsets and the sound of the ocean which lulls and comforts. We were two families and there was enough space for everyone - yet it was also homely and super comfortable, with everything one could possibly need provided. The beds, mattresses, bedding and towels were of a superior quality and the place was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen has obviously been fitted out by foodies, and is super well equipped. Beautiful artwork featuring Cornwall's best artists adorn the walls and children will love the bunk bed room. We are totally smitten, this apartment is an absolute jewel.
