Sowena House, St. Ives

[Sowena House]


"After a few hectic days in London, we found Sowena House in St. Ives a welcome time of relaxation. The charming town, beach, authenticity of the Cornish people, artist community, wild flowers and magnificent ocean made a fully enjoyable holiday. The tasteful, comfortable accommodations include three bedrooms, two baths, well equipped kitchen, and cozy sitting room."

"We loved our recent visit to the town of St,. Ives, Cornwall, on the southwest coastal tip of England. We stayed at Sowena House, with superb views of the sea, in the heart of the artists' and fisherman's quarters, close to local beaches. The house is a light, airy home with a well equipped kitchen. I discovered some of the most beautiful cliff walks full of plant and bird life, which I sketched and painted."
J. and C. Beeman, Atherton, Ca., USA

"With the kitchen window open the sound of the ocean was fantastic. Next time I visit I'm going to tape record it; I haven't slept so well in months."
Jackie Frye, London, UK

"Just a quick note to say we had a wonderful two weeks at the
house and have now completely fallen in love with St. Ives
and west Cornwall."
Paul Clarke and family, Todmorden, UK
