Shun Lee

St Ives, CornwallSleeps: 14Bedrooms: 7Bathrooms: 7

Home > Our Properties > Shun Lee
Set above the beach in St Ives, Shun Lee is in every sense a grand Cornish home, with unbeatable views, spectacular interiors and a fascinating history.
  • Uninterrupted sea views
  • Short walk to the beach
  • Private parking in St Ives
  • Cinema room
  • Pool table
  • Electric car charger

As featured in The Telegraph, Shun Lee is an exceptional holiday home with unparalleled views over the turquoise harbour of St Ives – views that wrap around the bay and extend all the way to Godrevey Lighthouse. The garden gate opens onto the South West Coast Path and Porthminster Beach is just a short walk away.

Sleeping up to 14 guests across seven beautiful bedrooms, Shun Lee makes for a truly unforgettable holiday and is the perfect base for special celebrations and large group escapes.

Magnificent and expansive, this grand property has a fascinating past. Built in 1881, Shun Lee’s original owner and master mariner, William John Paynter, worked off the coast of China, becoming a captain at Jardine Matheson. Paynter took ownership of the new tea clipper the Shun Lee in 1878, before retiring to St Ives to build a mansion named after his ship.

Set over four floors, Shun Lee has recently undergone extensive refurbishments that tastefully combine its nautical past and sensational location through bespoke contemporary furnishings. The handpicked antiques complement the elegant Victorian tiles and luxurious Designers Guild fabrics throughout.

Seven bedrooms – five en-suites plus two family bathrooms – provide space and facilities in abundance for up to 14 guests, offering versatility with three zip and link beds and four kings. Every detail has been considered so that a large group can unwind in luxury. The spacious lounge overlooks the harbour and a separate TV room features a pool table. The jewel in Shun Lee’s crown is the cinema room on the lower ground floor, which benefits from a phenomenal 108” 4K screen and projector for authentic movie nights.

More about theGround Floor

Kitchen

A tasteful coastal style echoes throughout the spacious kitchen, which is well equipped with plenty of laid back seating and built-in appliances. The double range cooker comes with a grill, a multi-function oven, a slow cook oven and a fan oven, as well as four hotplate burners, a wok burner and a multi-zone hot plate on top. There’s a large American style fridge-freezer, wine cooler and built-in dishwashers, which cater for feasting on a large scale. Perch around the kitchen island and use the De Longhi coffee machine to make the first drinks of the day. 

A pantry and utility room lead off from the kitchen and are equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer and plenty of storage space.  

Dining Room

Gather everyone around the custom built dining table, comfortably seating up to 14, and turn an evening meal into an occasion that continues long into the night. With incredible ocean views and a SONOS music system, it won’t be difficult to create a memorable ambience. 
 

Living Room

Flowing seamlessly into the surrounding seascape, this expansive social space is scattered with coastal greys, calming blues and sandy browns. Handmade driftwood chandeliers hang from the ceilings, while custom Designers Guild curtains mimic the sun melting into the horizon. Spacious enough to comfortably seat all guests, cosy up on the sofas and look out across the changing seascape whilst the gas fire warms the room and music plays through the SONOS speakers. 

TV Room

Bursting with entertainment, luxurious sofas nestle around a Smart TV with Sky and a Blu-ray player. Backed by a full sized pool table, this social space benefits from a SONOS sound bar, and an abundance of board games and DVDs. 

More about theFirst Floor

Master Bedroom and En-suite

Cast your gaze over St Ives from the comfort of your king size cabin bed, saturated in rich dark wood and peppered with chests and luxurious furnishings. It’s easy to be fooled into thinking you’ve been transported aboard the Shun Lee in the 1800s.

The Olde Worlde design flows into the en-suite bathroom with dramatic tones running throughout the floor-to-ceiling marble. Indulge in the large walk-in shower, which also benefits from a view out to sea.

Bedroom Two and En-suite

Waking up in the sumptuous four poster, canopy king size bed will seem like a dream. With views across the calming blue of the sea, bedroom two is an unbelievably restful room. An en-suite shower room features a cascading rainfall showerhead. 

Bedroom Three and En-suite

Calming creams and beachy browns adorn this king size bedroom, which benefits from a stylish en-suite with a rainfall shower head. 

Bedroom Four 

Sat beneath tall ceilings with exposed whitewashed beams, bedroom four can be made up as a sumptuous super king or family-friendly twins. Located in a quiet spot at the rear of the property, it utilises the magnificent bathroom next door. 

Family Bathroom 

Whilst three out of the four bedrooms on the first floor benefit from dedicated en-suite bathrooms, bedroom four has this impressive family bathroom all to itself. Adorned with art-deco mosaic tiles, this beautiful room comes with a freestanding bath and a spacious rainfall shower. 

More about theSecond Floor

Bedroom Five and En-suite

A lovely boutique boudoir, elegant hand crafted furniture flows through this king size room. The window looks out across St Ives Harbour and there’s a spacious en-suite with a shower. 

Bedroom Six

Awaken from a restful slumber and take in the elevated view over the ocean from this peaceful room. Additional sleeping flexibility means the super king bed can be set up as twins and the huge family bathroom is just across the hall. 
 

Bedroom Seven

Another sea-facing room, bedroom seven is a heavenly hideaway set under whitewashed wooden beams. The plump super king zip and link bed can be transformed into twins, if required, and the family bathroom is just footsteps away. 

Family Bathroom 

A luxurious soak in the freestanding copper Bateau bathtub is the perfect way to soothe aching muscles after spending the day exploring the coast. With the addition of a walk-in shower, the family bathroom serves bedrooms six and seven.

St Ives

st-ives-beaches-watersports-1.jpg

Beaches and watersports

There are four excellent beaches within St Ives: Porthmeor, Porthminster, Harbour Beach and Porthgwidden, as well as a couple of secluded dog-friendly coves. A short drive will bring you to the renowned Carbis Bay, which is fantastic for surfing and watersports. Ocean Sports Centre offers lessons and equipment hire and you can try your hand at anything from surfing to kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding and Hawaiian canoeing. Porthkidney Beach is another golden sandy stretch and there are miles of Hayle beaches leading to Godrevey Lighthouse. 

st-ives-outdoor-pursuits-1.jpg

Outdoor pursuits

A moderate coastal walk from Hayle to St Ives begins at Britain’s oldest swing bridge, taking in the Hayle Estuary and merging with part of the ancient St Michael’s Way Pilgrim Trail from Lelant to Marazion. A gentler route around Godrevy Lighthouse will lead you in Virginia Woolf’s footsteps – the lighthouse was a pinnacle symbol in her novel ‘To the Lighthouse’. Cyclists can choose between the Cornish Way and the First and Last trails, and golfers will love the West Cornwall Golf Club. Several sea fishing trips also leave from the harbour daily. 

st-ives-food-drink-1.jpg

Food and drink

Head to the Porthminster Beach Café or the Beachcomber Café for relaxed dining and waterside views. In the heart of St Ives, try Cellar Bistro for an atmospheric evening meal and cocktails, or The Searoom for tapas in stylish surroundings. A bit further afield, The Gurnard’s Head at Zennor is set in a wonderfully rugged location and serves a delicious Sunday lunch. Carbis Bay is another foodie hub, with La Casista and The Bean Inn both highly recommended. The wine tour at Polgoon Vineyard in Penzance is a great sunny day activity. 

st-ives-activities-children-1.jpg

Activities for children

Young budding artists can brush up on their skills at the St Ives School of Painting, which offers a range of classes and workshops for children. Paradise Park in nearby Hayle is every child’s dream, with over 650 birds and animals to see. Geevor Tin Mine offers a fascinating insight into Cornwall’s mining heritage, offering a fun and educational day out for the family. Thrill-seekers can head to Flambards Theme Park for an adrenaline rush on their rides, an approximate 35 minute drive away.

st-ives-heritage-culture-1.jpg

Heritage and culture

St Ives is home to the world-famous Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. Widen your knowledge of art history with an educational ramble around the museums, soaking up the information. The captivating light quality has lured artists from all over the globe, and reams of art galleries line the cobbled streets. Perched on rugged cliffs high above the ocean, the breathtaking Minack Theatre makes a fantastic day trip and is about a 45 minute drive away. 

st-ives-pampering-1.jpg

Time for pampering

Take the pressure off and surrender to a day of pampering in St Ives. Overlooking turquoise waters, the St Ives Harbour Hotel Spa has four treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and gym. They specialise in a range of indulgent treatments, from HarSPA massages to ESPA facials. The C Bay Spa at Carbis Bay Hotel is another fabulous option, with candlelit treatment rooms, a fire-heated relaxation lounge and sea-view balcony.

See what previous guests have to say from our guestbooks, direct messages and online reviews. We also visit every property - and even stay in many of them too - so whether it's about the house or the local area, our team of experts can provide personal insights to help find the perfect property for you. 

A perfect venue for our annual gathering of five couples. A number of the rooms enjoy stunning sea views. The house is very well equipped and the layout is ideal for socialising with a large kitchen and dining room. The property is a 15-minute walk into St Ives and therefore the cars were barely used. Perfect Stays were always available to help when needed both before and then during our stay. The fact this was our third visit says it all.

The Bidgood Family, Bristol | Trustpilot - December 2023

A stunning house in the most fantastic position overlooking the sea. The kitchen was well appointed and the cinema room was a hit with the grandchildren. Breathtaking views from so many of the rooms, we’d return without a moment’s hesitation.

The Aston Family, Worcestershire | Google - November 2023

Lovely property, fantastic position and views. Great for large groups, able to walk into St Ives easily. Amazing space and very relaxing. 

The Bristow Family, Newport - November 2023

We had an amazing week at Shun Lee with family and friends to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house is perfect for entertaining and well set up for large groups. There were several different social areas to cater for all interests and the cinema room was especially popular. The location is also great, you can walk into St Ives and Carbis Bay, and the views are amazing. We took full advantage of the Concierge Service provided and we had a fantastic dinner prepared for us by Flavour and Wine, who also delivered a brilliant evening of wine tasting too - both of which I highly recommend. This was the second time we've booked with Perfect Stays, and we'll definitely be using them again.

The Dawkins Family, Surrey | Trustpilot - October 2023

We had a wonderful week at Shun Lee. It's a fantastic house - so warm, comfortable and welcoming, with stunning views from every room and so close to St Ives' beaches and restaurants. Thank you, it's been perfect. 

The Watson Family, Birmingham | Guestbook - July 2023

We had an enjoyable week with the bonus of amazing weather! We recommend visiting The Yellow Canary for coffee, St Ives Bakery for break, and The Makers for black forest gateau. And everyday we walked to Carbis Bay, around the headland, to Porthkidney Beach. 

The Roberts Party, Hampshire | Guestbook - July 2023

We had a fabulous multi-generational holiday to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house is so beautiful and very well equipped. The sea views are also stunning - it has been a special and memorable holiday was, indeed, a perfect stay! 

The Westwood Family, Derby | Guestbook - July 2023

Excellent, professional, and helpful service provided by Perfects Stays. Shun Lee is a magnificent house, in a perfect position with a short walk to both St Ives and Carbis Bay. Another fabulous stay at Shun Lee and totally amazing as ever!

We booked this for a special family birthday. The property, interior and views were absolutely amazing. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we would definitely book again.

The Bristow Family, Newport - March 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shun Lee. A fantastic property, very well equipped, with stunning sea views across to St Ives in one direction and Hayle in the other. A fabulous time was spent dining in the spacious Orangery, followed by film entertainment in the comfortable Cinema room, what more could we ask!  Out and about, just a 10 minute walk into St Ives and only a 20 minute walk to Carbis Bay... and we received excellent support throughout from Perfect Stays. Thank you.

The Bidgood Party, Bristol - November 2021

Had a fantastic family holiday at this absolutely stunning house. It is well equipped and was spotlessly clean. The views from the windows and terrace are beautiful. Good location for the beach and walk into St Ives although uphill on the return journey. Would not hesitate to recommend booking through Perfect Stays.

The Kelly Family, Derby - November 2021

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Shun Lee. We cannot wait to return again in the future. Fantastic stay and stunning location.

The Bennett and Martin Families, Hemel Hempstead | Guestbook - October 2021

The Rainbird Family, London | Guestbook - October 2021

A fabulous week in a stunning house with views and a location that can't be bettered. Fabulous weather; walks to Zennor, St Agnes and Perranuthnoe; dinners in the Ugly Butterfly and Gurnards Head; Paddleboarding on Porthminster beach with a seal for company - so many highlights and memories that will last forever. 

The Stenton Party, Worthing | Guestbook - October 2021

Shun Lee was a simply beautiful house, the decor and detail was second to none. The views from the house were stunning, loved being able to walk into St. Ives and Carbis Bay.

The Stack Party, Essex | Trustpilot - October 2021

The Guest Family, London | Trustpilot - May 2021

Shun Lee is a magnificent property situated at one of the best locations in St Ives, close to Porthminster Beach. Tastefully decorated and furnished to a level that would be difficult to surpass, and the panoramic views are glorious.

The bedrooms, bathrooms and en-suites are superb, as are the kitchen and living spaces - the cinema provides a comfortable and memorable viewing experience.Once you have stayed here, anything else would be a compromise.

The Lawson Family, Derbyshire - March 2021

We had a wonderful stay at Shun Lee. It is in such an amazing setting and the view was outstanding. The house was very comfortable, clean and very well equipped.

The Ridley-Barker Family, Surrey | Trustpilot - March 2021

Great place. Well organised. 

The Silver Family, France - March 2021

WOW! What an amazing place. We spent a fantastic week in February 2020 at Shun Lee to celebrate a significant birthday with another family.

 

The house had been designed and furnished to a really high standard and with a fantastic eye for detail. It is simply beautiful and a huge amount of thought has been put into the kit - especially in the kitchen. Sharp knives, plenty of cutlery and crockery and even a pastry brush - which was handy for the beef wellington! 

 

The light in the house and the views were incredible despite the best efforts of Storm Dennis and the February weather. We will be back! Thank you.
