Worvas Counthouse - Country Cottage - Hot Tub - Pet Friendly
Set in a quiet countryside location not far from St Ives' beautiful beaches, Worvas Counthouse is a truly relaxing retreat for families and friends.
The cottage which has recently undergone a contemporary makeover, sympathetically combines the old with the new. Tasteful furnishings sit alongside authentic features, so together with the ample space on offer both inside and out, creates a luxurious and comfortable holiday home. The spacious sitting room has a wood-burning stove and is just the place to unwind in after a day out exploring the local area, while the amply equipped kitchen and open plan dining room (also with wood burner) are perfectly suited to home cooking and mealtimes with all the family. Upstairs, the home’s three bedrooms have lovely views over the surrounding scenery, and the cottage has two stunning family bathrooms, both with freestanding bathtubs.
Outside, there’s a sprawling garden where children, dogs and grown-ups can stretch their legs or bathe in the sunshine. A large electric hot tub offers the chance to indulge in a decadent soak any time of the day or evening, while a fire pit and outdoor wood burner invite you to enjoy drinks and entertainment long after the sun has set.
Roughly a 10-minute drive from Carbis Bay, St Ives harbour and Porthminster Beach, Worvas Counthouse is superbly placed for enjoying all that the area has to offer. Wander the pretty boutique-lined streets of St Ives or pop into the Tate St Ives for a dollop of culture. A thriving foodie scene means you can choose between eateries like Adam Handling’s Ugly Butterfly, One Fish Street, Silco Bar & Kitchen, and many more. If you fancy grabbing a quick bite, there are many terrific bakeries and fish n chip takeaway places to pick from, or kick back with a glass of wine and a crab sandwich at Porthminster or Porthmeor’s beach café’s.
Porthkidney Sands and Upton Towans are less than 20 minutes’ drive, while Gwithian is just 5 minutes’ further along the coast so for those looking to indulge in beach days, surfing and water sports, it doesn’t get much better.
Travel cot and high chair are located within the property. Stair gates are available on request.

Wonderful stay at Worvas !
This is a beautiful property set down its own private lane with private garden. Everything was perfect for us....except the weather!
We brought our dog who loved the outdoor space!
The kitchen is well equipped, 2 beautiful spacious bathrooms and the 2 log burners in the living spaces made this place really cosy!
Outside there is a hot tub, pond, seating areas, firepits, BBQ and festoon lighting.
There is nothing about this property that we did not love!
We are frequent visitors to Halsetown and love that it is just a short distance from the bustle of St Ives but far enough away to feel like you were in remote countryside. We will definitely be booking again !

Absoultely outstanding!
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at Worvas.
We used the hot tub every single night without fail and it was beautiful as we felt so secluded.
The 2 fireplaces are 2 of the best fireplaces I've used. The heat that they produce is extraordinary; sitting in the lounge watching a film with a glass of red and the fire on was so cosy.
The house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped.
We used the main bedroom and the bed and pillows were very comfy.
It is a 5 minute drive in to the town or a 30 minute walk. There are some lovely footpaths nearby also and the hosts have left a walking guide in the welcome pack.
All in all, our stay was absoultey amazing and we're already planning our next trip back!

A beautiful, idyllic cottage with superb grounds!
We absolutely loved our stay at Worvas! And wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. The situation of the cottage and grounds were just stunning, the best we’ve stayed in by a mile!
Our dogs just loved the outside gardens and pottered around all day and evening (worth mentioning that the drive is ungated though so for dogs that do stray it would not be ideal as it leads on to a country lane)
The cottage is huge and we had so much space! We found everything to be well equipped and super comfortable and regretted not booking for 10 nights instead of a week.
Super little pub at the end of the street and most things just a short drive away. We throughly explored the whole of the south west while we were down there.
St Ives and Carbis Bay just a stones throw away and easy enough to drive up to Newquay or to do some shopping in Truro when the sun was not shining!
Thank you for a very relaxed stay, we were not bothered by anyone and just had the most chilled of weeks.
Would hope to return next year!!
