“We woke to the sound of the sea every morning. The room was simple and perfect.”

“The breakfast alone is worth the trip. We will be back in spring.”

A full cooked breakfast served at Saltwind House
Morning

Breakfast, unhurried

Served between eight and ten in the sea-facing dining room. A full cooked breakfast, porridge with honey, toast, and proper coffee, or tea if you prefer.

Most of it comes from Cornwall: eggs from a farm near Zennor, bread baked in St Ives, and jam made down the road.

Outside

The South West Coast Path

The coast path runs right past the end of our street. Turn left for the walk to Zennor, about two hours over the cliffs, or right for the gentler stroll into St Ives harbour.

We keep a shelf of walking maps by the door, and we will pack you a sandwich if you ask the night before.

St Ives harbour

A short walk downhill brings you to the harbour: working boats, art galleries, and beaches on both sides of the town.

Come back up the hill when you are done, and the kettle will be on.
