Tucked away in a quiet hamlet just outside St Ives, Cornwall, Quick’s Cottage is a traditional Cornish granite cottage offering a peaceful countryside escape close to the coast. Surrounded by open countryside, coastal walking routes, and classic West Cornwall scenery, this dog-friendly holiday cottage near St Ives is ideal for families, couples, and anyone looking for a slower-paced Cornish getaway.

A no-through country lane leads you in, and from there it’s all fields, stillness and sky. The South West Coast Path is just a short walk away, opening up clifftop walks straight from the doorstep. Head one way and you can wander towards hidden coves and wild stretches of coastline, or take a longer stroll into St Ives along the coast when the tide and mood align. If you’re out and about by car, you’re only a short drive from town.

Inside, the cottage feels instantly homely. The kitchen and dining space is set up for easy meals and slow mornings, while an open archway leads through to the living room where a log burner and deep sofa do most of the work once the day is done.

Upstairs, there’s a calm master bedroom and a twin room, making it an easy fit for couples or families. The bathroom offers both a bath and separate shower, so you can take things at your own pace.

Outside, a private patio catches the fresh air and evening light, with a BBQ and dining area made for simple meals outside and quiet evenings with the door left open.

For larger groups, Rosewall Cottage is located just next door and can be booked alongside Quick’s Cottage, making it a great option for families or friends holidaying together while still enjoying their own space.

Quick’s Cottage is an ideal base for those seeking a slower pace, beautiful scenery and easy access to Cornwall’s coast, a true countryside hideaway with the sea never far away.
