Wish I could give more than 5 stars for the value for money for this beautiful house. We stayed for just under 2 weeks and we loved it. The location is excellent; very easy walking distance from the harbour, beaches, shops and restaurants. The house was well equipped, comfy and clean. The parking is close to the house and the hosts were brilliant at responding to messages (thank you!) Highly recommend a stay!

We have been so happy with our stay at Betty’s Cottage. The location is ideal and the secure parking was a definite win. It was easy to get to (we all know St Ives roads can be challenging in places) and a nice big space well sign posted. The cottage is literally a 1 minute walk from the parking space but we decided to quickly unload the car when we grabbed the fob before parking to save getting stuck having to walk about too much in the very very high temperatures we got to experience this week.Once we entered we were so impressed by the decor. So many nice touches. The art work was lovely and we had everything we needed. The cottage was extremely clean and tidy. The host’s communication was great, even I forming g us that the property was ready before expected. We will 100% return.

Lovely cottage, felt warm and cozy. Beds very comfortable and felt like a home from home. Everything you need is provided. The convenience of having a parking space in St Ives made our stay so easy. Just to make everyone aware if you are 6ft 2 or taller the shower is amazing but doesn’t fit the height of someone like me.

Stayed here with my mum for a birthday get away & it was the cosiest cottage we have both ever stayed in, perfect for a winter break! We appreciated all the personal touches like blankets, fairy lights & nice lighting, an Alexa in living room/bedroom, the lovely gas fire, air fryer & so much more, really thoughtfully decorated. We actually ended up cancelling some dinner reservations to spend more time here during our trip! Great location, walking distance to the main harbour & co-op for essentials. Nice to also have secure parking about 3 minute walk away from the cottage. Overall we had a really lovely stay & will definitely look to come back soon!

About the host

Host profile image

We are the proud owners of Betty's Cottage. After many happy family holidays in St Ives, we fell in love with the area. It captured our hearts and soul. We bought the cottage early 2015 and have since lovingly refurbished it to provide you with all the comforts you would need for a home away from home.
As a small family we enjoy skimming stones and building sandcastles at Porthminster beach, body boarding at Porthmeor beach, fishing,crabbing and seal spotting in the harbour.
We always feel very happy here and invite you to share in our affection for St Ives.
We hope that we have thought of everything to make your stay as perfect as possible.
