The Old Count House

Description

The Old Count House is situated in a small, quiet square, the house enjoys breathtaking views of the town, harbour and bay. You can enjoy all the home comforts in our excellently presented accommodation whilst savouring the charm and character of a traditional Cornish Count House with a fascinating history.

The Old Count House was built from local granite in 1825 and was so named because it was from here that the wages were counted out and paid to the tin miners of Wheal Trenwith.


The Old Count House has ten comfortably furnished guest rooms all of which are en-suite and individually decorated - one has a stylish four-poster with luxurious Jacuzzi bath and another a distinctive canopied bed. Seven of the bedrooms are at the front of the house and enjoy magnificent views over the town, harbour and bay.

The Old Count House is in a quiet residential area with private parking and easy access to St Ives town, beaches and Tate Gallery.

A 'park and ride' scheme is nearby to save taking your car into town - a great advantage in busy times. Ground floor rooms are also available. All our rooms are heated and have tea-making facilities, hairdryers and all have colour televisions. Our cosy lounge has an open fire for out of season breaks, colour television and video.

We also have an authentic Finnish sauna within our conservatory - a perfect place to spoil yourself and relax whilst looking out on to our beautiful tropical garden.

We offer a choice of breakfasts including a hearty Full English grill, freshly baked croissants or kippers. Our excellent cuisine is personally prepared using fresh local produce and served by ourselves as resident proprietors, who take pride in our home.

We have ample private parking. We are a non-smoking household and regret we are unable to cater for pets or children.
