This quaint cosy fisherman’s cottage has been loved by one family for just over 100 years. Steeped in family history this cottage retains many of its original features but has been lovingly renovated to a high standard for a comfortable stay. Tucked away in Downalong it is only a minute’s walk to the Harbour, galleries, beaches and restaurants. Kalafrana welcomes pets and if required secure parking is offered free with your booking at St Ives Rugby Club . This is an ideal location for a family holiday. Please note Kalafrana has four floors with narrow steep stairs that might not suit everyone. This is an old fisherman's cottage built in 1860
Kalafrana Cottage has been in the host's family for over a hundred years !! It has been lovingly restored by Paula & Paul .
St Ives is a world-renowned holiday destination with numerous attractions that never fails to delight visitors. You can explore the small, cobbled streets enjoying the multitude of individual shops. The quaint Downalong area bordering the harbour and bedecked in flowers throughout the summer allows visitors to step back in time and reflect on St Ives’ fishing heritage. St Ives is ringed by magnificent award winning beaches offering visitors safe bathing and various activities including surfing, diving, boat trips and fishing. There are many superb restaurants specialising in fresh seafood. The town is famous as an art centre. Many artists have been drawn to the area and the town hosts the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum.
