Hawke's Point

Looking for somewhere a bit special to stay near St Ives? From the outside Hawke's Point might look like all other modern apartment collections that crop up by the sea.  But look a little closer and you'll see it's not just the rooms with a sea view (in most) that give these 15 swanky joints the wow-factor. Far from the typical beach-chic gracing much of the region's accommodation, these apartments ooze classic style: mahogany furniture, traditional armchairs, high-brow artworks and kitchens decked out with fine-bone china and crystal glassware. Child-friendly, a short walk from the beautiful Carbis Bay (it's steep walk back) and just one stop from St Ives on the coastal train, here you can kickback in luxury within easy reach of one of Cornwall's most popular seaside towns.
