The property was well located in an idealistic beauty spot very well decorated, small and cosy,I mean that in a good way! The bed was a little loose due to the screws but made in comfortless, and stability once we slept on it.

Great property with an excellent location. Lisa was very helpful sorting out some issues at the start. It was clean but certainly no frills or additional extras. It’s only equipped with basic amenities for cooking. We had hoped to buy local produce and cook at home, but pans weren’t even big enough to make pasta for 2 adults and 2 children.

A lovely little miner's cottage. All amenities are here and its only a short walk to shops, cafés and beaches. Parking is a problem having only paid off site parking but a small problem considering the experience. Would recommend this cottage to all

Cute little cottage in a great location

The cottage is a short walk from the various beaches and shops of St Ives, so perfect for a short break in the town. The cottage is well equip and it's amazing how everything is fitting into the place.The only negative side is the lack of parking and having to stop on a double yellow to load/unload. It took us about an hour to find a parking space when we arrived, so plan ahead!

Lovely cottage

Lovely cottage close to all the amenities that St Ives has to offer. Just a 5 minute walk to the shops and 15 mins to the beaches. Property is clean with a small garden where we BBQ’d one night. It’s a small cottage which was fine for four of us but probably too small for 4 adults. Lisa the owner very communicative and helpful. Would definitely recommend for a lovely St Ives break!

3 Bullans Terrace

Very pretty terrace of houses, peaceful with a beautiful garden. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues as any way you go, it’s up a steep hill. The cottage is small, the stairs are steep and the upstairs is somewhat cramped. We had a lovely time in St Ives

Spend time back in time

As travelers from Australia, we decided on a self contained old worker's cottage as a change from the ordinary motels. We were not disappointed. Although small ( or compact ), the house came with the mod cons we required. Whether summer holidaying or like us, travelling about Cornwall, the house is central to beaches, shops, transport and restaurants and tourist spots.

great location to both the harbour and The Tate.

we had a very enjoyable time. the cottage is very snug and doesn't take long to warm up.. Very well decorated throughout perfect in size for a small young family. Also the housekeeper obviously takes a lot of care as it was very clean throughout .As mentioned you couldn't get a better location. we wouldn't hesitate in going back there.

Wonderful stay in St Ives

We loved our trip to St Ives. The cottage was great for us, as a family of 3. I appreciated the location; on the outskirts of the centre, so you're close to everything but not sureounded by tourists all the time. The cottage is small, but enough space for the three of us and lovely to have some outside space to use. We dound the knives in the kitchen very blunt, which did make cooking a bit difficult, but that was our only minor complaint. Lisa was on hand with support when needed, which was much appreciated. Would certainly recommend to others.thatkitc

Disappointed!

From the description and photos of the cottage on Vrbo we guessed it was going to be a small cottage but not as small as it actually was!It definitely is only suitable for 2 adults and 2 small children at most! It was very clasutraphobic with 4 adults staying and no privacy when using the tiny bathroom (every sound made in bathroom can be heard throughout property!) The bedding and pillows were of a very poor quality as were the mattresses which were also stained. The 2 single bed frames were substandard too! The shower leaked into the lounge below if the power was up too high when showering. There should be a sign in the bathroom clearly stating that the shower shouldn't be put on full power! This issue was first mentioned by a guest in 2022 and it still hasn't been sorted!! Not good enough really! The garden needs to be tidied up a lot.Lovely neighbour at no 4 was very helpful and chatty. We feel that the price we paid for the 3 nights was very overpriced for what we got.

Well from the photos and description of the cottage you knew it would be small and with one bathroom As all the fisherman’s cottages in st ives are small why did you book for 4 adults!!! And you Even took 3 dogs without telling me or paying Why oh why would you book a tiny cottage for 4 adults and 3 dogs no wonder claustrophobic… As in my guide I sent you..shower powerful but cubicle small please have shower on medium as if on full power will leak..obviously you took no notice as the guest 3 years ago did same thing!! Bed linen is from “next” and have never had a complaint before Just make sure next time you book accommodation it accommodates how many people go

Super location within vicinity of a fabulous seaside town, theatre, restaurants and 2 fine beaches (also only 15 min to a very wide breathtaking Hayle beach) , very quiet at night, local parking possible to a good degree on small side roads cosy with nice cottage character, old fire place, little small though, and for 4 (3 kids 1 adult) little challenging, kitchen with good standard, dish washer, washing machine, microwave etc.beds could do with some repairs, a new second more comfy sofa in the lounge f.ex. also would improve comfort

The fishermen's cottage in St Ives was delightful to stay in. It was beautifully cleaned, roomy and close to everything in St Ives. The kitchen was really well equipped and it was nice to have the garden to sit in at drinks time!

Lisa hat ein sehr schönes Häuschen, abseits vom Trubel der Stadt, aber doch nah am Zentrum mit kleinem Garten und sehr netten Nachbarn. Bei den engen Straßen in Cornwall ist es fast besser ohne Auto zu kommen. wir konnten aber gegen Gebühr beim RFC Rugby Club parken, der etwa 7 Minuten entfernt ist. wir haben den Urlaub bei ihr genossen und möchten uns für die schöne Zeit bedanken.
