With private parking and an on-site concierge, a Sail Lofts holiday offers something a little more than your usual self-catering holiday.

We are always on hand to make your stay extra special.

‘All the superlatives are true’

Stayed in Island for last 6 days and can genuinely say from our experience that the excellence of the ratings are totally justified. The accommodation is really of the highest standard in terms of decor, furnishing, maintenance and cleanliness. It was one of the few places where you could say that it was a pleasure to be stuck in when it rained (and being Cornwall in the autumn it occasionally did!). The location is perfect - wonderful to be so near Porthmeor Beach and the Tate, yet also close to Fore Street shops.

‘Best place to stay in St Ives’

This is our 3rd stay at The Sail Lofts and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. Ocean is a large 3 bedroom apartment with a view down the slipway to Porthmeor beach. The apartment is immaculately clean and beautifully designed. The kitchen is well equipped as is the whole apartment including beach towels and wind break.

Our favourite feature is enjoying the sea breeze when the windows are open at the front and the doors overlooking the courtyard. The staff, as always are friendly and helpful. Already looking forward to our next stay.

Out of Season Breaks

Outside of the school holidays, away from the summer months the off-season is a time to discover the many wonders that Cornwall has to offer you, from beaches with their sand dune edges to the wondrous Cornish coastline, there's nothing better to enjoy as Cornwall gets a little quieter.
