Where to stay
Whether you choose a Hotel overlooking the sea, a Bed and Breakfast tucked within the old fisherman’s cottages, converted sail lofts, or a self-catering house just steps from the beach, there is a bountiful selection of accommodation in St Ives, the majority within walking distance to the School.
NO RISK POLICY: Please reserve your place on a course and if you don’t find suitable accommodation within 48 hours we will refund you in full.
St Ives is very compact, probably no more than a 20 min walk from end to end, so wherever you are staying you should be able to walk to the studio easily.
One of the best ways of searching availability for B&B and self catering is via the St Ives Tourism Association website
Self catering can prove a cost effective option off season when short breaks are available. St Ives Holidays have over 200 properties locally and can advise on places to stay near the school as well as options such as Aspects Holidays.
Guest Houses are also listed on the large booking engines: Air B&B & Booking.com
If you are still unsure about finding accommodation near the school, don’t hesitate to get in touch – we can help you to find somewhere to stay in St Ives.
We can offer advise on all aspects of travel and accommodation when it comes to planning your perfect painting holiday in Cornwall.
