Tucked away on the peaceful pedestrian lane of Mount Zion, Hidden Harbour Cottage is a charming three-storey fisherman’s cottage set right in the picturesque heart of St Ives. Built into the rock and just moments from the harbour front and the historic Downalong quarter, this delightful retreat offers a rare sense of tranquillity while remaining superbly central. The much-loved independent Mount Zion Coffee is only a few steps from the ground-floor entrance, perfect for your morning coffee before a day by the sea.
Full of character and pet-friendly, the cottage blends traditional charm with comfortable, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Expect authentic features typical of an old St Ives net store, including beautiful granite details and a striking Blue Elvan rock feature in the ground-floor en-suite. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away setting, the harbour, white sandy beaches and local galleries are all just seconds away.
Property Overview
This much-loved fisherman’s cottage is a true hidden gem – light, welcoming and wonderfully positioned for guests who want to experience the very best of St Ives on foot. With glimpses of the sea, a tiny secret garden and multiple entrances offering flexible access, it provides a relaxed “home-from-home” atmosphere ideal for families, couples and those travelling with a dog.
Accommodation

Originally an old net store, this cosy level has its own access via a small courtyard and can be used as a private suite, ideal for grandparents, couples or teenagers.

Outside Space
The cottage features a tiny, secluded garden area – perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or evening drink. While compact, it adds to the property’s charm and sense of seclusion which offers sea glimpses.
Access & Location
The cottage is reached via the historic cobbled lanes of St Ives. Steps lead up from the harbour (near Cintra Seafood), passing through a charming tunnel before arriving at Mount Zion. There is also rear access from Back Road West, which can be helpful for unloading luggage, and a separate entrance to the lower-level suite.
Due to the traditional layout, guests should note there are steep steps and uneven cobbles typical of the area.
