From arrival, easy to park outside and drop off bags etc, The Island car Park was within a minutes walk. House was nice and cosy. Beaches were within a couple of minutes walk, so it was ideally located. Host was very good at communicating with us, even arranging a Christmas tree to be in the lounge.

Had a few weeks staying in this cottage in November. Great communications with the host.House clean and has everything you need. Bit of a trek getting from the ground floor kitchen up to the double room on the top floor but we knew that prior. Very common though with all these cottages in this area.Really close to the beaches and the town.We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great holiday in your cottage, everything we needed was at hand. We especially liked that it was in a quieter part of St Ives but incredibly near to a nice beach. We also liked that fact that it's near to great restaurants and shops.

Lovely cosy homely cottage. Minutes from the sea front. Everything you’d want and more. Lots of games in premises for a rainy day to!

Quaint cottage near beaches. Can see a glimpse of sea from upstairs bedroom. Love the location. Could walk everywhere. The house is clean, and styled very cute. No musty smell. There are a lot of stairs so if mobility is an issue then this might not be best choice. My mom and I felt right at home. It was a great experience!
