About the Tank
This is a delightful idea. Anyone who has an interest in wartime, soldiery, or just cool vehicles, can spend the night, the week, or longer, staying in a refashioned tank. The tank includes a comfortable bed and a small bathroom, with a basic cooking area outdoors. The outdoor area includes your own garden with a fire pit. There is free onsite parking and the deal is suitable for a two person stay.
St. Ives itself is five minutes from the tank. You can enjoy all the lovely attractions this seaside town has to offer. The Cornwall Guide has a good list.

A Bit About Airbnb
Airbnb are a huge name in multinational travel. They operate all over the world, with their western market particularly strong. Airbnb uses an innovative model that allows you to stay in someone’s house, rather than in a hotel or other accommodations. Sometimes the owner rents out a room and sometimes you have the whole property to yourself. No matter what happens, though, you stay with a local person who has in-depth knowledge of the local area.
Airbnb hosts work hard to earn 5 star reviews. This makes for an excellent experience, most of the time. Traveling with them means your local guide can pass on information to help you make the most of your trip. They can leave you the best takeaway menus from the area, gift you literature on local attractions, and even put together welcome packs for you.
Airbnb began in 2007 when two hosts in San Francisco rented out their properties. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength to become a worldwide guest hosting firm. Users can sign up to rent out space in their own homes or sign up as guests. A review process helps keep everyone aligned.
