Great location, very clean and comfortable, really good communication with host, there were only 4 of us - Seren House could easily accommodate 10-12 people, but we loved the extra space. Family friendly with games etc.

Superb location

Great location being 5 min from town centre/harbour with a litter of great restaurants on your doorstep. Local co-op 2 min walk. Several beaches within easy walking distance and Carbis Bay 3 min on train. Property has good sized bedrooms and facilities. Booking and instructions for arrival great.

Great family house in St Ives

Had a wonderful stay in this comfortable, lovingly furnished home in St. Ives. Plenty of room for everyone, lots of nice touches to add to a fun family vacation. Really appreciated great restaurant recommendations from the owners. So much to do in St. Ives and Cornwall, hope to return one day and would definitely stay at Seren House. Only hiccup we had was a little trouble finding the parking spot, but once parked loved hiking the coastal path and lovely visit to the Tate Gallery.

Great Location close to the centre and all beaches. Host was very helpful and informative.

The property was exactly as described. We had a enjoyable week with our two children (18 and 16 years old) who enjoyed the freedom to be able to walk to the town. My mum and brother and his wife also stayed and again it was great to leave the cars (managed to get a 4x4 and an estate cat in the parking area) for most of the week parked up. We did visit Porthcuno Beach as well as Penzance and Falmouth to get the ferry to St Mawes as well which is definitely worth a trip. Overall a great week.

Fabulous house and so convenient for town.

Fabulous house to stay in and so easy to walk into town. Although the house sleeps 10-12 people there are two rooms with bunk beds which had to sleep two adults in our party so that wasn’t ideal. However, that didn’t detract too much from our stay. The house is beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Lovely quirky bits too. Love the kitchen table top! Thanks Gavin and family for letting us stay and thanks Geraldine for being so accommodating. Judy Bowden

Thanks for the lovely review Judy. We love it when guests enjoy the house. We do try and describe the bedrooms clearly on the website and suggest they are better for children. We are hoping to extend the attic this Winter so might be able to offer singles that would suit adults in the near future. Gavin

Fallen in love with St Ives

Two families big summer holiday, 10 of us in total and we had the best time. St Ives is beautiful, friendly and the perfect holiday town. The house was fantastic, perfectly located, with all mod cons that you’d need whilst away from home. Fitted us all in very well. Good space for 10. Think 12 could have been a bit of a squeeze. Great number of bathrooms, good living area. Again, the best location, so close to town and sat between all the beaches. We’ve all had the best holiday. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful home. Awesome location. Comfortable and clean. Better in real life.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Seren House. Comfy beds, lovely decor, well appointed kitchen a gorgeous home from home. The Cornish cream tea, flowers and wine were a nice touch. We had felt exhausted after our journey and dove into the scones, jam and clotted cream all washed down with hot tea. Yummy. The terraced garden is equipped with a coal BBQ, a fire pit, swing chair and dining tables. Watching the sun set over St Ives whilst dining on the terrace was wonderful. The house is located close to where we wanted to be, near to down town St Ives but far enough away to be quiet at night. Thank you. We can't wait to come back.

Right in the centre of it all...

Two families (total 9) stayed a Sereen House for 7 days. The property was immaculately clean, had everything we needed (despite COVID 19 restrictions) and all information was provided to enable us to stay safely. We loved being in the centre of Saint Ives, a short stroll took us to the town, beaches and stunning views. This house is ideal if you want somewhere that feels like home and with two families having 3 bathrooms really helped! The only thing we missed was an accessible garden or outdoor space to sit and have a drink or let the dogs roam. However, being so close to town meant that we just had to go out and discover new places (and cafes) so it wasn't really a hardship! Gavin was very responsive to any questions we asked during our stay. A lovely home from home in a stunning part of the country.

Great location. Make sure to be clear about the parking and the steep steps. Was a bit on the tight side for all of us but the weather was amazing so we were outside most of the day and regularly in the evenings.

St. Ives gem

Spacious and comfortable - convenient to everywhere - host is very responsive and accommodating - parking is a pain, though, and needs a better description of how steep the streets are and the best approach to the parking space - need a clear statement of fireplaces being decorative and recycling not being an option - would stay here again. Many gratitudes!

Nice house, central st Ives location with parking

House is in a central location and feels like a family home - some really nice decorative touches. It is well equipped and was clean apart from the crockery snd pans… but I guess that’s down to previous guests. We weren’t expecting any but there isn’t really any usable outdoor space and the garden above that leads to the car cannot be crossed so you do have to walk round … most of what we did was in St Ives so not an issue for us. We did find it very noisy on the street side - we had enough room to move to the bedrooms at the back of the house but if you fill the house you need the ‘late to bed’ers and the sound sleepers at the front of the house!! We were there in a super busy week and I dare say there might be less motorbikes doing laps and late night shouting people at other times of the year!

A good week

We had a good week, great weather. Lovely large property. Very clean. Close to St Ives centre. Parking some distance away up hill. With Covid, meals for 10 in restaurants was difficult or impossible so needed to cook in the house. The kitchen equipment e.g. baking trays were perhaps insufficient for such a large group with differing needs (ages 9 months - 69 year old). We had two water problems a sewage blockage (previous tenant?) and a flexi pipe in the downstairs shower room. The sewage blockage was responded to by the owner very quickly

Very convenient and close to St.Ives centre.

The whole experience was very easy and convenient to book. Communication with the owners was prompt and friendly . The property is literally a 5 min walk from the harbour. The peace of mind of having two dedicated parking places is great. Although it is quiet a climb up the steps to it. Lol We dropped family and bags at the front before taking the cars up to the parking spaces. Unfortunately the BBQ listed is no longer there, so perhaps take one with you. Finding disposable ones proved near impossible. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and hope to return in the future. Seren House would definitely be a consideration. Thank you to Gavin for his help when having to rearrange, due to the COVID restrictions.

Great property

Really well equipped house. Rather late check in and early check out but other than that we couldn’t fault Seren house. Good communication with the owner who always answered my queries immediately. Also, location was great. Very near centre as described - up a steep hill but didn’t prevent my 85yr old mum walking to the beach every day. Would happily stay again.

What a lovely house in a perfect location. This was just what we needed after lockdown restrictions. Shame the lively pubs couldn’t open and sometimes hard to get meals out due to places being closed. We all hope to stay in the house again & didn’t want to leave beautiful Cornwall.
