Parking was incredibly tight but made it in eventually. (Subaru Forrester). It would have been helpful if we could have been warned to turn left not right at bottom of Bowling Green as we nearly wedged the car and took off some paintwork. The property was much appreciated.
We had a fantastic week in St Ives. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The garden was very peaceful and we would absolutely love to return soon.
