Excellent stay at Admiral Cottage. The host, Melanie, gave expert help, which is needed when navigating the streets of St Ives. The property was just as described, and we particularly enjoyed being off the main street, where there was no foot traffic, but still steps away from the main area and waterfront. My wife and I were both writing books during the week, and the top floor was a perfect writer's retreat, with a bed for a nap or two :) A few tips: There is a well-stocked Coop grocery store about 5 minutes walk, so you can get most things you need for cooking and meals in the cottages and toiletries for bathroom (there's also a half-bath aka toilet). The kitchen is well-stocked with utensils (pots, pans, dish-ware, coffee cups, glasses of all sorts). The coffee maker is one that takes capsules. The dishwasher and clothes washer worked great.The closest parking is barnoon with the Park App. Spaces go fast, and many, like us, just kept our car parked all week, so you might want a back-up place) - all are walking distance. Since there is no road access to the cottage, parking at barnoon (above the Tate Gallery) was a short walk down hill. Melanie was great helping with directions.We were also celebrating our wedding anniversary and found that the ARDO Mediterranean restaurant at the bottom of the hill from the Cottage (on Fore Street) did not disappoint, i.e., exceeded expectations. Admiral Cottage also met and exceeded expectations -- 5 stars on all counts!
