A quiet retreat in St Ives

For those wanting to stay in St Ives but away from the hassle of tourists and limited parking etc. in the centre, the property is nicely situated on the edge of town with a great outdoor space to relax . A good uphill walk back from town but easy taxi ride or bus if not able. Property well appointed and plenty of space for a large group. Parking for two cars a bonus in St Ives and although tight to get through the entrance will fit a large 4x4(X5). If you have a roofbox it will need to be removed first though.

Wonderful stay in a lovely cottage

We had a lovely stay with our two golden retrievers, the cottage was comfortable and well equipped. As previously mentioned in the reviews the only thing to note is the parking clearance is quite low..we had to remove our roof box to fit into the carport.Aside from that minor inconvenience everything was fantastic and we would highly recommend it. Most mornings we took the coastal path into St Ives which is a wonderful walk and takes about an hour at slow pace. Totally recommend Bier Huis in St Ives ..great ambiance, great food and beer and very dog friendly! We also had a Thai takeaway twice as it was so delicious…Talay Thai kitchen ! We visited a National Trust Trengwainton Garden..again very dog friendly and stunning grounds with a little beach and St Michael’s Mount . We were very lucky with the weather … so a fantastic, stress free getaway that I would gladly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing escape.

This is a lovely house in a very quiet and private street. The rooms are large and comfortable. There were 8 of us, all adults, and we felt that a few more basic supplies provided would have been better. For example extra bath towels, kitchen towels and toilet paper. There was no clothes washing liquid. No oven gloves were provided as standard and were later delivered by Amazon after we requested some. The side door to the house was unlockable due a misaligned door which we reported as a concern more than once. Unfortunately it never was fixed so we lived in the house for one week with it unlocked. St Ives is a beautiful area and we did enjoy ourselves. My negative comments are minor but leaving the home unsecured did bother us.

A perfect location and great accommodation, comfortable in both good and bad weather.

We had a wonderful stay despite the weather not being all that great quite a lot of the time! But the accommodation made up for that by being comfortable, spacious, dog friendly and had everything we needed for catering in or relaxing in on a wet and windy evening. We did have some neighbourly football retrieval from the garden on a fairly regular basis. This wasn't a problem (other than the dog loving a ball) but there is clearly regular access made to the garden by the neighbours children. This was happening even when we were in clear sight.

Beautiful house and great customer service.

The house is beautiful and would definitely stay again but just with adults or grown up children rather than young children, only because of the garden layout and the wall (which we we were concerned they could fall off whilst running around in the garden) If we queried anything it was answered straight away, the house was clean and very well equipped.

Wonderful house, very thoughtfully decorated. Plenty of seating areas, excellent kitchen facilities and utensils. Peaceful area and completely enclosed for dogs, which was excellent for me as have small chihuahua. Lovely hour long cliff walk to St Ives if you choose, which we did on a beautiful day. Lots of little picnic spots along that route. Natasha reacted very quickly to any small problems and I really highly recommend the property, one of the loveliest houses I have stayed in over the years.

Excellent accommodation - would highly recommend

We stayed at Fairings for a week in September as a family of 5 + our spaniel. Our adult children joined us and the accommodation was perfect for our requirements, the lounge is separate from the large and well equipped kitchen but open enough that you still feel together as a group. The bathroom layout worked really well for us and the utility room was the perfect drying room after a number of wet walks. The garden was secure for the dog and there are walks straight from the door. We walked into St Ives every evening where there are a great variety of restaurants to choose from. As a group of adults the house was perfect and it's so beautifully decorated and furnished, it felt like home from home and was a real treat to stay here. If we come back to this part of Cornwall we'd love to stay here again.

Hi Nicola, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted to hear that Fairings was the perfect fit for your family getaway, including your spaniel! It’s great to know the layout worked so well for your group, and that the utility room came in handy after those Cornish wet walks. We’re especially pleased that you found the house beautifully decorated and felt right at home, that’s exactly the experience we hope to create for our guests. It’s also lovely to hear you enjoyed the walks into St Ives and the variety of restaurants nearby. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back if you return to this part of Cornwall. Thank you again for choosing Fairings and for taking the time to share your experience! Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

All good, just a couple of small niggles

This cottage is very lovely, it is in a great location and has beautiful furnishings. Everything was very clean. The only negatives for us was that the heating is controlled centrally and we felt it was set a little low. We made use of the real fire each night so we were fine but it was chilly going into the bedrooms at night, especially the downstairs one. My mum would also like me to add that there is no door dividing the master bedroom from the en suite, it is all open plan. She wasn't sharing so it was fine but asked me to mention it as she says she would have been uncomfortable with this if sharing the room. Apart from this all was good and we would happily stay here again.

Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted to hear that you found the cottage lovely and enjoyed its great location. I’m sorry to hear that the centrally controlled heating was not ideal for you, but I’m pleased that you were able to enjoy the fires in the evenings. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I will be sure to pass this on to the owner for review. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Lovely home from home

A beautiful, comfortable house tastefully decorated and dressed. Very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. Parking is clever, opening out onto the garden and although it is tight, you can fit 2 big 4x4 type vehicles in if you're decent at parking. Location is great as it's very peaceful but a reasonable walk to town and beaches etc, no need to drive anywhere if you don't want to. Lovely to have the well equipped garden with BBQ also, with regular squirrel visitors. We really loved it. The only negative is that the downstairs bedroom smells a little damp. It does have a dehumidifier which fills up quickly but easy to empty.
