Lovely cottage in a perfect position for exploring St. Ives and surrounding area. Close to shopping area, cafes, restaurants and beaches. No need to take the car if you want to travel further as it is also close to the train station and buses. The cottage also has a beautiful garden and seating area to come back to in the evenings. Rachael, our host was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we wanted. The cottage is clean, well maintained and has great views.

Perfect cottage and Location

Such a perfect cosy, light, stunningly beautiful cottage. The garden is gorgeous and obviously well loved and it’s in the perfect quiet spot really close to the town and harbour beaches. Thank you for an unforgettable stay, we’ll definitely be back.

Fabulous location and very creativity decorated.

We really loved staying at this dear cottage. Rachel is a caring and attentive host. It is very convenient and the property was lovely and clean. Our bed was very comfortable, our son also slept well in his bed. Fabulous views greet you in the morning from the bedroom windows and the ground floor has a spacious feel with a wonderful conservatory where we enjoyed our breakfast. We certainly would recommend staying here and would return again.

Fantastic Holiday Cottage

A wonderful Cottage with stunning sea and harbour views from inside and in the beautifully tendered garden. Stepping inside a wonderful ambiance radiates inside you. Very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean with home from home comforts catered for. Breakfast in the large sunny conservatory is a lovely way to start the day. Rachel and Christian were helpful, friendly and displayed excellent communication at all times. Would highly recommend to anyone Will certainly be back to experience Garden Cottage again.

Another lovely relaxing week at Garden Cottage!

We have just returned home after our second week's stay at Garden Cottage, St Ives. Last year, we spent a week there in late September, and were bowled over by how warm, cosy and inviting our holiday accommodation turned out to be. St Ives. Right from opening the front door, we felt very much at home. Garden Cottage has everything needed to make your holiday special. There is a lovely conservatory to sit in if the weather is a little drizzly or chilly, and outside there is a beautiful garden with a decked area at the bottom which gives views over the rooftops of St Ives to the sea in the distance. The perfect place to while away an afternoon reading the papers, or for an early evening glass of vino before heading out for supper. If you feel like staying in though, there are comfy sofas, a well equipped kitchen, both underfloor and central heating, which would entice even the most ardent of holidaymakers to spend a night in watching the TV. Another real bonus for staying at Garden Cottage is its location - being just a few steps away from the main shopping streets of St Ives, the waterfront, and spectacular views out to sea. Garden Cottage is serene, calm and quiet however - there were no problems getting a good night's sleep!

Great Location in Heart of St. Ives

Cottage is perfect for a couple or a family as there are 2 bedrooms. Kitchen is fully equipped, and bedrooms are comfortable and very cute. Books and DVDs are in abundance. Cottage is just steps away from all the shops and restaurants and also near the harbour. We had a great stay and the tiny problems we had were instantly addressed. I would definitely stay again!

Beautiful quiet and comfortable

We had a perfect stay at Garden Cottage which is the most beautiful place we’ve stayed in St Ives so far. It’s in such a perfect location, so close to the middle of the town and all the beaches but it’s so quiet and peaceful there. The light was beautiful in the cottage and the conservatory was a lovely sunny warm place to eat with its underfloor heating. We were so lucky with the weather that we sat out in the garden with our morning coffee looking down to the harbour and across to Godrevy. We loved every bit of our stay and will definitely be coming back to our lovely home from home.

A very special place

We loved the wonderful quirky cottage, a really peaceful and pretty place to come back to each day. We loved the gorgeous garden which was wonderful to have breakfast in. Lovely to meet Rachael - we have admired her etchings for years and how nice for the cottage to be full of them. A really perfect and happy holiday xxx

Clean, warm and cosy cottage at Christmastime

Our stay in Rachael's lovely holiday home impressed us so much that when we later moved to a cottage in Cornwall we changed it's name to Garden Cottage to bestow it with a happy vibe.

Wonderful getawsy

Beautiful airy cottage that looks just like its pictures. Hard to believe such an inventive use of space — and a pretty garden. Central to everything, with a short steep walk home, perfect for mitigating dinner at another St Ives restaurant. Strongest memory is of the light, from the conservatory with heated floor to skylit bathroom. What a lovely nest for exploring St Ives, its galleries and the Tate.

Lovely cottage - a true home from home!

We love this cosy cottage - it is located in a great spot, just a short walk up from the Barbara Hepworth Museum, close to shops and excellent restaurants, but nice and quiet at the same time. We stayed in the double room and our daughter and her gandma had the twin room, which was perfect for us. The cottage has a wonderful garden and decked area, excellent for outside breakfasts with lots of sunshine and a lovely view. The kitchen is well equipped, we found everything we needed. Rachael and Christian looked after us very well - very friendly and helpful, they are doing an excellent job maintaining the house and put a lot of creativity into it. We especially loved the stylish interior with original etchings and paintings and the conservatory, which is another great feature. We will be back and would recommend this property to a friend anytime!

Fantastic location and lovely cottage

Family of four, stayed at the cottage over easter holidays. Was perfect for us; in town but without having to navigate the tiny lanes of Downalong, short walks to harbour, Porthmeor/Tate and the coast path out to Zennor and a lovely garden to sit out in. View from bedroom over to Godrevy lighthouse perfectly framed. Would definitely stay again.

A real Cornish gem

We had a lovely stay - the cottage is well located close to shops and the beaches. It has lots of character whilst having everything you need for a relaxing break (for families with young children). It was great to meet its friendly owner too. Highly recommended.

Delightful cottage in desirable location

Had a lovely off-season long weekend. Cottage is beautifully decorated and well-equipped with everything you could need, not only for a weekend but for a week+ holiday as well. It is unusually spacious for a small cottage and the garden with views are a real bonus. Car access is do-able, parking is where you can find it, as with much of St Ives so no complaints there either. Rachael is a lovely host and we would happily come back again.
