Websites

We are busy working with our web designer to produce a brand new website for launch at the beginning of June. Lots of new features and hopefully much simpler design, for those following the blog they will need to wave good bye to the current url in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted of when this happens. 


The Tate has opened the doors to their new summer exhibitions, Lily van der Stokker- No Big Deal Thing and Object:Gesture:Grid- St Ives and the international Avant-garde. Guests of The Sail Lofts receive 50% discount so if you are staying with us don't forget to pop into the office to borrow a Tate Corporate members card!


St Ives food and drink festival is also progressing with some interesting events already lined up, see their website for more details.

We only have very limited availability in the summer now, so please do contact us sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. We are also booking up very quickly for the September festival week, its always a great week!

Welcome aboard

I can't believe we are in May already, although we've had nice dry weather it is taking its time to warm up, but one can't complain. The beginning of May has been really busy down here lots of exciting things happening. 


We would like to welcome Rebecca to the team. Rebecca is responsible for ensuring our Friday changeovers run smoothly and we improve our quality standards even further, with new welcome hampers high up on her agenda!


We are really excited to announce the new spa is currently being fitted out and will be ready for launch in June, dates TBC. Leave a comment or email me if you are interested or would like more information.


We also have another launch in June, but we'll tell you more about that soon! 


Its a good job we've been so busy, because there has been a real lack of surf... I had a couple of surfs last weekend, and thanks to Aggie Surf Shop I demoed a cool 5'8 quad, interesting little thing but not really the best conditions to try it out in. 

Don't forget to contact us about any last minute availability we may have, there are some great opportunities for a break to enjoy the sunshine!


I took these photos on my walk down here this morning.

Photoshoots and holidays



We've been very busy down here juggling full photo shoots of all the apartments, it was a bit of a marathon, but James King did a superb job, and the photo above is of our Slipway apartment since being redesigned earlier in the year. 14 properties over a bank holiday weekend was never going to be easy but we are really pleased with the results. 

For all those who remember them, the Surfers Against Sewage Ball is back! SAS are holding the Inviciball at Porthtowan Eco Park to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the charity. Tickets are likely to sell very quickly so get in there quick if you want tickets! 

The Tate St Ives is currently rehanging, getting ready for the new summer exhibition which opens on the 15th May. To coincide with this we have our five star holiday cottage and 3 apartments available for this week, so if you would like to take a peek at the new pieces then do contact us at info@thesaillofts.co.uk or 01736 799 175.
