I logged complaints with both Expedia and Sykes Cottages about the false advertising of the payment schedule...

Recent Reviews in St Ives

Tregenna Castle Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean staff excellent, breakfast was good and parking no problem"

Harbour Hotel St Ives

8/10 Good

"Disappointing evening meal choices and standard. Same menu offered two days running (soup at least should have changed), meals were only warm, not hot, when served. Room was cold on arrival and strong draught around window added to the chill. It took a couple of days of good weather to reach an acceptable temperature."

Betty's Cottage St Ives. Grade II listed perfect getaway with secure parking.

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this cottage 3rd time. So well arranged with everything you need for your stay. Close to town. Parking space which is very rare in st ives. Double bed mattress so comfortable. Singles too. Clean. Noticed kitchen items were replaced over years which shows the owners care. Also living room Furniture and rugs replaced over years. This place is normally fully booked and I can see why. The owner communicated with us on a day and we were able to check in earlier which was very nice."

Uno Carbis Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay in this spacious accommodation, which was ideal for our family of four: two parents and two teenagers. Everywhere was sparkling clean, and the housekeeper was very helpful when we arrived. The apartment had everything we needed to feel comfortable, including a fridge-freezer, microwave with grill function, air fryer and kitchen utensils. The beds were comfortable, and the fantastic hilltop view was a real highlight. We also appreciated the two fans, nearby parking, bathrobes, towels and slippers. The bathroom was well equipped, with a bathtub and separate toilet and shower stalls. The walk-in wardrobe had plenty of hangers, an ironing board, steam iron and hairdryer. Hand wash, shower gel, bubble bath and shampoo were provided, and extra bin bags and toiletries were promptly supplied when requested. We couldn’t have asked for more and would happily stay again."
