The house was spotlessly clean with the basics left for us to use e.g. toilet roll, tea, coffee, washing-up-liquid, liquid soap, dishcloth and t-towels. The host was very easy to contact and responded quickly. The kitchen was fully equipped. There was a lovely decking area outside and a sea view from 2 of the bedrooms. The location was perfect albeit up a hill. We had a great stay and we would definitely go back again.

Great property

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 8 Bowling Green terrace. St Ives is a lovely area and this property was a perfect base to explore from. As other reviews have suggested the photos don’t do it justice, you can literally lay in bed and see the sea! I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit here.

Great house, great location.

So long as walking up and down the steep streets of St Ives is no problem, we highly recommend this house. A 10 minute walk to Fore Street or the beach. Excellent children’s books plus high chair etc for young ones. Lots of character. Great views from the south facing bedrooms. Back yard a bonus.

Lovely house in St Ives

This is a great property. It is comfortable and spacious, and in a great location. We loved the comfy beds and the outside space. It was helpful to have a dedicated parking space, though it is at the foot of a step drive so takes a bit of care getting in and out. It is possible to drive to the front door to drop off luggage but it is quite a narrow approach. Overall we had a fantastic time.

Beautiful house in a central location!

The photos don’t do this house justice! The house is beautiful, decoration is lovely and it feels very clean and spacious throughout. View from the top window is amazing, and the garden is a lovely tranquil spot. It is very quiet even though you are so close to town centre and a few mins walk from the beach. Instructions and directions were really clear and helpful too. Thank you Ali! Amy, Leo & Bea x

Beautiful holiday home

The house is well cared for and loved. Exceptionally clean and well equipped for a holiday. The beds are very comfortable with quality bedding. The towels provided for both bathrooms are large and very soft. The patio area it is a large sunny oasis to enjoy Al fresco dining or just to enjoy the sunshine. The house is located at the top of a hill (most of St Ives is very hilly). About a five minute walk down hill to the town centre. At the end of your stay your fitness levels will have improved so allow ten minutes for the return journey.Very useful to have a reserved parking spot as parking is difficult anywhere near the town. Really enjoyed our stay and thank you to Ali the property owner. Hope to return

The perfect spot for a St Ives stay!

Bowling Green Terrace is a beautiful house and was absolutely perfect for our family’s stay in St Ives. The location was perfect for us as we are a family that likes to spend long days on the beach and both Porth Minster and Porth Meor beaches were just short walks away, 10 mintues and 5 minutes respectively. Of course there was a lot of up hill walking, which my mother in law didn’t find easy but this is only to be expected in St Ives. We were very lucky with the weather and didn’t see a cloud in the sky all week! This meant that we were able to really enjoy the outdoor decking area, we sat out and cooled down in the evenings. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, lots of memories made and already thinking about next year!

Loveliest house & amazing view

we had a wonderful time in this beautiful house and St Ives. We can recommend the accommodation to everyone and would come again ourselves. The house has everything you need and much more, is very lovingly furnished and has a great view from the upper rooms. Furthermore everything was really clean so we felt super comfortable. The only tiny negative point is that a relatively „steep climb“ is necessary to reach the house from the harbor. If you have mobility restrictions in this regard or are older and perhaps no longer very fit, I would advise against it. My father always had a hard time and needed a few short breaks. Otherwise, St Ives is to fall in love with. Many beaches, shops, restaurants and cafes as well as galleries and many of Cornwall's attractions are within easy reach. All in all, the house and the location were a 10 out of 10. Ali is such a great host, responded quickly to all my messages and questions. If I ever come to St Ives again, I would not want to stay somewhere else. This house just made our Cornwall Trip perfect. Our dog enjoyed the time as well. All beaches were still accessible with dogs and there were so many other dogs to play with. The people we met were all very lovely and kind.

Wirklich ein fabelhaftes, wunderschönes Ferienhaus, sehr hochwertige Ausstattung, bequeme Betten und Bettwaren, tolle Lage, nah zum Strand und zu allen Geschäften. Einziger Minuspunkt war die sehr enge Zufahrt zum Haus und dass der Parkplatz beim ersten Mal nicht so einfach zu finden war Aber das haben wir auch geschafft und wir würden auch wiederkommen!
