About Cornerways Guest House
Cornerways occupies an 1830s building in Downalong, the old fisherman's quarter of St Ives known for its cobbled streets and close-packed granite cottages. The guest house has operated as a holiday stay for more than seventy years, giving it a settled, well-established character among the town's independent accommodation.
Rooms combine the building's historical features with modern conveniences including free WiFi, and the guest house's position near the harbour puts Porthgwidden Beach, the Tate gallery and the town's restaurants all within a short stroll. Guests consistently note the cleanliness of the rooms and the helpfulness of the owners.
Its position deep in Downalong's quiet lanes, just back from the working harbour, makes Cornerways a good match for visitors who want to be inside the old town without paying harbourfront hotel rates.
