A light, bright and beautiful retreat for luxurious family breaks in St Ives, with plenty of kids' entertainment and breath-taking views of Porthmeor Beach.
  • Sleeps: 10
  • Bedrooms: 5
  • Bathrooms: 4
  • Minimum stay: 4 nights

Filled with thoughtful touches and careful attention to detail, everybody is welcome at Ocean Scene – including the dog!

A laid-back and ultra-luxurious retreat with jaw-dropping views of Porthmeor Beach and the Atlantic Ocean (hence the name), you’ll feel relaxed just as soon as you arrive.

Decorated in fresh, nautical style, every room is gloriously light and bright, allowing those incredible ocean-beach views to speak for themselves, yet with an unmistakable feeling of well-deserved indulgence throughout.

Appliances are sleek and stylish, and there are plenty of sumptuous accessories, including fluffy robes, local toiletries, and in-bedroom bathtubs that showcase the ocean vista to perfection.  Just add a glass of bubbles, and you’re in holiday heaven.

You’ll also find the kids are extremely well-catered for, so there’ll be no plaintive cries of “I’m bored” during your stay. Sit back and get lost in grown-up chatter, as the little ones wear themselves out in the ‘pirate’ playhouse, on the toddler trampoline, or by challenging each-other to a raucous game of table football!

Sleeping up to 10 guests, you’ll have five outrageously comfy bedrooms to choose from. There’s a king, two queens, a fun bunk room, and two twins – so mixed groups of couples, singles, teens, and kids are well catered-for.  

Oh, and with four bathrooms on hand, there’ll be no awkward morning queues, either!
