Lovely cottage, ideal location with bars, restaurants etc just a short walk away. Very comfortable bed, everything you need for a cosy getaway in St Ives.
This was our second stay at the cottage, we had a great time! The location is excellent for central St Ives with the beaches and shops in close proximity. Would love to stay again in the future.
The best of the stay for us was how thoughtfully things were made available to cater to the needs of the guest. From the Welcome book which had instructions and takeout menus to the safety pins in the drawers to the utensils in the kitchen. The location as well made our stay so much better, there is Co-op a couple meters away and short walk to the seafront.
We couldn't have wished for somewhere so convenient to stay, just a few minutes walk to the beginning of many streets full of shops and the harbour, beaches etc.
Lovely cottage, great location, could even see the sea from the bedroom window. Everything we needed was there, nice and warm in the evening. Perfect cosy cottage for a couple. Beaches, shops, pubs all on the doorstep. Would stay here again.
Really lovely traditional fishermans cottage. Clean, cosy and very comfortable with everything we needed.
Close to both beaches. Would happily go back again.
A nice cosy cottage, although kitchen was a bit small, it had all the amenities, a few basics like sugar, teabags, pepper, were missing, but overall we had a nice relaxing stay.
Cottage is small (as are most in St Ives!) but has everything you need and in a great location. Can get a little noisy from passing people and cars but again this is pretty normal when in St Ives. Would happily stay here again in the future, and it was spotless throughout.
Brilliant location, 30 seconds from the front door of the cottage and your in the heart of the town, used the parking at the leisure Centre for 7 day stay, cost £26 plus, you have to pre book, with the car park/ cornwall. You have everything you need in the cottagecouncil
The cottage was in the ideal location only a 5 minute walk from St Ives harbour and 5 minute walk to the beach.
Really enjoyed our stay, only down side was parking but it wasn't a big issue.
Whoever stays at this cottage pull up outside and drop your stuff off and drive down to the st Ives train station car park as it's only 25 pound for a week, don't park at the laundrette carpark they charge 112.50 a week and we saw on reviews they give you a parking tickets even when you have paid
Had a great time here. Good location just 2 minutes walk to harbour. Property was very clean and well equipped. A perfect base and would recommend to anyone. No complaints at all.
There is no parking at the property but we got a weeks parking for £26 in the park avenue car park with the parking app. Its then down the steps across the road.
A recommendation for the owners would be to add a bolt to the front door which connects the 2 halves of the stable style door. A very small thing but found it to be a bit irritating when coming and going and always had to lock the top half with the key when in as no latch for handle????
The cottage was very good. It had everything you could need and was warm and cosy. Decent heating in every room (often not the case!) and was spotless on arrival. All the small details had been thought of which made a difference, and things like washing powder for the machine, salt for cooking, tea and sugar for when you first arrive were all appreciated. Plenty of bedding, including spares if needed. Host was helpful and responsive. An excellent stay and we will definitely be back
