Polmear is quietly situated in a typical St Ives street of terraced, stone cottages, away from traffic yet within a few minutes' walk of Porthmeor Beach (good for surfing when the tide is right), the smaller Porthgwidden bay and beach and Bambaluz beach (closest of all at the end of the road). Owned by one family through four generations, Polmear has been completely renovated and redecorated by its new owners, providing spacious family accommodation with bright, colour washed walls and some of the artist owner's original paintings.
St Ives has achieved a national reputation in recent years as a cultural and artistic centre, boasting the new Tate Gallery, Barbara Hepworth's house and garden, and many high quality galleries and studios. Visitors can surf, swim, sail and fish, and/or indulge their taste for art to their heart's content - and then celebrate with a meal at one of the international standard restaurants in the evening.
The surrounding area too offers much to explore - the Land's End and Lizard Peninsulas, St Michael's Mount (NT), the Eden Project and the Helford River are all within easy driving distance.
