The Penthouse · 7 Godrevy Terrace, St Ives

The top floor of St Ives.

A one-bedroom penthouse on Godrevy Terrace — with the two things nobody else in St Ives can promise you: a parking space and a lift.

The view from Godrevy Terrace, above the apartment.

The View

St Ives, from above the rooftops.

This is the light people come to St Ives for — the same light that pulled the painters here a century ago. From up on Godrevy Terrace it arrives over the rooftops and the water at Porthmeor, and it changes all day. You do not have to go looking for it. It comes in through the windows.

Why it works

Park the car. Take the lift. Forget both until you leave.

01

Parking, on site.

In St Ives. Yes, really — a free private space that comes with the apartment. Anyone who has circled Trenwith long-stay in August knows exactly what that is worth.

02

A lift to the top floor.

Suitcases, small children, tired legs after the beach — carried up for you. No hauling a heavy case up four flights in the sun.

03

300 m from Tate St Ives.

Porthmeor Beach a short stroll further on. Gallery in the morning, sand by lunch, home for the light in the evening.

The Apartment

Two bathrooms. One extraordinary view.

The whole penthouse is yours — around 65 square metres of it, on one bright level, with parquet floors underfoot and a balcony off the front. One bedroom, and the rare treat of two bathrooms, which is the thing guests mention first.

Open-plan living and kitchen at Tate Five, with sea views through the windows

An open, light-filled level

Living, dining and a fully equipped kitchen share one open space, so the view is never more than a glance away. Fridge, microwave and kettle, a proper dining area, and a television for the evenings in.

A balcony that does the talking

The balcony faces the sea. It is where the coffee goes in the morning and the wine goes in the evening, and where you will spend more of the holiday than you planned to.

The bedroom at Tate Five

One quiet bedroom — and two bathrooms

A comfortable double, and then the detail that sets the place apart for two people travelling together: two bathrooms, so nobody is waiting on anybody. Guests single this out, so we will too.

What guests say
8.7 Fabulous · 21 reviews on Booking.com

Much nicer than the photos.

That is a genuine line from a guest — and the reason we are re-shooting. Until then, here is what people tell us they remember.

The sea views are the thing you remember — right there through the windows and off the balcony.

Spotless and very well equipped — and two bathrooms made all the difference for us.

Right for the galleries and the beaches, and the owners were easy to reach the whole way through.

Location

Above the town, in the middle of it.

Godrevy Terrace sits up on the hill, so you get the perch and the view — but you are still a short walk down into the galleries, the harbour and the seafood. Leave the car in its space and do St Ives on foot.

Good to know

A straight word on access.

The lift takes you most of the way — but this is St Ives, and there are some steps.

The apartment isn't step-free. If stairs are a difficulty for anyone in your party, message us before you book and we'll give you the honest picture, so you can decide with the full facts.

FAQ

The practical questions.

Is there really parking?

Yes — a free, private, on-site parking space comes with the apartment. In St Ives that is genuinely rare, and it means you can leave the car put and walk into town.

Is there a lift, and are there steps?

There is a lift that takes you up to the top floor, so you are not carrying cases up flights of stairs. That said, the apartment isn't fully step-free — there are some steps, as there are all over St Ives.

If steps are a difficulty for anyone in your party, message us before booking and we'll talk you through it honestly.

What are the check-in and check-out times?

We'll confirm your exact arrival and departure times with you when you book. If you have a train or a ferry to work around, message us and we'll do what we can to help.

Do you allow pets, and can you smoke?

Just ask us before you book — drop us a message and we'll let you know what we can do for your stay.

What's the WiFi like?

Free WiFi throughout — and guests rate it 10 out of 10, so you can work a morning or stream an evening without a fight.

How does booking direct work, and how do I pay?

Use the availability tool on this page to check your dates and book straight with us — no booking-platform fee in the middle, and the best available rate when you book direct.
