LOCATION:
St Ives is one of the most characterful and busiest resorts in the south west. The quaint harbour town is extremely popular during the summer season but also benefits from tourist trade throughout the year due largely to the Tate Gallery and its links with the artist community. The town is highly sought after by National, Regional and Local retailers and there are numerous respected restaurants, bistros and cafes.

The premises are situated within the town centre in what was traditionally the main “banking street” but now forms an extension to the prime Fore Street retailing and has numerous cafes, shops, galleries and public houses.
