When super hot temperatures hit Cornwall, the entire coastline comes alive with energy and brilliant blue skies. The absolute best place to be is right down on the golden sand, diving into the Atlantic waves for water sports like surfing and paddleboarding. Don't forget to slap on plenty of high-factor sun cream before spending hours down by the shore. Low tide also brings out classic family traditions like rockpooling and crab catching with a simple line and a bucket.

As the streets of St. Ives begin to fill with the summer bustle, there is a smarter way to experience the magic of Cornwall without the "holiday let" price tag or the tourist crowds. Booking your stay through major platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com often means paying inflated rates to cover their hefty service fees

Willow & Oak Bungalows: Your Insider Guide to St Ives

The Atlantic mists are clearing, the gorse is turning a brilliant gold, and there is a definite "hum" of excitement in the air! Here at St. Ives Bizzy Bees, we’ve been busy behind the scenes getting our beautiful properties—like the tucked-away Willow Bungalow—spick, span, and ready for your arrival.

The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and spring has officially arrived in St Ives! After a long flipping wet winter, there is nothing quite like the first sight of the turquoise waters at Porthmeor Beach or the golden sands of Carbis Bay under a clear blue sky.

Let’s be honest: Cornwall isn’t always about golden tans and turquoise waters. Sometimes, it’s about the dramatic Atlantic mist, the horizontal rain, and that unique Cornish wind that turns umbrellas inside out.

If you’ve ever visited St. Ives in the summer, you know the buzz is loud! The beaches are packed, the harbourside is lively, and the sun shines for days. But as the tourist tide retreats and the year winds down, a new, quieter magic descends upon our granite town.

As the summer crowds disperse and a new, more dramatic season takes hold,    St. Ives reveals a different kind of beauty. It’s the season of invigorating coastal walks, thrilling surf sessions, and the awe-inspiring spectacle of storm watching from the comfort of a cosy retreat. For holiday homeowners, this shift presents a unique opportunity, but it also highlights the need for a management company that truly understands how to maximise your property's potential all year round.

As the last golden rays of summer sunshine fade into memory, a new and enchanting season is upon us. The days may be getting shorter, but Cornwall's unique magic shines brighter than ever. From blustery coastal walks and foraging for mushrooms in ancient woodlands to evenings spent by a roaring log fire with a cup of hot chocolate, the autumn and winter months hold a special kind of charm. For holiday cottage owners, this shift in seasons marks a pivotal time to prepare for the year ahead and ensure your property stands out from the rest.
