A little known fact about Godrevy is that it was once home to the hustle and bustle of St Ives' nightlife. Features of the former nightclub still exist seen in the entrance staircase one of the unique hallmarks of the building's storied past.

The apartment is perfect to experience Cornwall for couples and families alike as it has the room to sit back and relax after a day spent exploring the town or the surrounding coast.

Godrevy Lighthouse lies in the distance and is perfect to visit if you're looking for the sealife of St Ives as seals often frequent the area.

The tour circles around the lighthouse which functioned for just over 150 years before heading back to St Ives to conclude the trip.
