Anchorage Guest House, St Ives in St Ives (Cornwall), Cornwall

Built in the 1730s, Anchorage Guest House is a three-room guest house at the point where Fore Street meets the Wharf. The property retains 18th-century details, including sloping floors, compact staircases, and small doorways. Oil paintings of the area hang on the walls.

Named rooms include the Hepworth Room, the Wallis Room, and the Du Maurier Room, which sits on the third floor. The 3rd Floor Double Room with Sea View has harbour views, rooftop views, and a peek of the ocean. The Double Room with Private External Bathroom places the bathroom outside the sleeping area.

The guest house is 100 metres from Porthmeor Beach and a two-minute walk from Tate St Ives. Leach Pottery and Carbis Bay are close by. The spot between the surfers and fishermen parts of town puts shops, restaurants, and coastal walking paths within easy reach.

The guest house offers private check-in and check-out with flexible arrival and departure times. Staff provide local recommendations through a guest folder and arrange parking permits for nearby private parking. Individual room options are available for different needs.

The ground floor sitting room contains a small library and a shelf stocked with complimentary fresh fruit and handmade flapjacks. The guest house remains quiet despite its central location. The house carries decor that reflects local culture.
