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.

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.

We've used Airbnb quite a lot now, but our stay at the old saltings is going to be a pleasant family memory for years to come. We had a warm e welcome before we even arrived. Whilst there are many flats in st ives with a good location, we dont think we have been in one yet which was such a joy to spend time in. Thanks again and hope to come back.
