The studio apartments and space echo colour, serenity and style with the interior colours reflecting the golden sands in Sands Studio and the vibrant seaweed greens in Samphire Studio. Inspired by its exotic garden in Samphire and sea view from Sands Studio, the apartments exhibit growth and nature through its bespoke detailing and luxury mid-century style.
Owners of the sister business, boutique guesthouse Trevose Harbour House, we remain at your disposal for any queries prior or during your stay.
Nestled within the cobbled streets of ‘Downalong’ and only steps from Porthgwidden beach within the heart of St Ives. A stone's throw from restaurants, shops, galleries, museums and the beautiful beaches of St Ives.
