Nice cottage in an excellent location
Very good cottage in a perfect location, only slight negative would be that it spans 4 floors so was a bit of a pain going upstairs / downstairs but that’s not really a big issue

Stay cut short due to noise through the walls
The property is lovely - well decorated, furnished and very clean. We know & love the area but didn’t realise this cottage was back to back or that noise would travel so much. We were extremely unlucky in that there was a particularly noisy group staying behind us but soon discovered that even normal conversation could be heard - they could obviously hear us too as we heard them discussing it! As our stay was for much needed respite and we got very little peace or sleep - and there was obviously nothing we could do to improve the situation we made the hugely disappointing decision to cut the 4 night stay short and left after just one night. We made the owners aware of the issue & our departure at 1pm and even gave them the opportunity to re-let the cottage. However they didn’t respond to us until 8.30 that night and didn’t/couldn’t really say anything other than they could try talking to the owners of the neighbours. This was obviously no help to us and in all honestly wouldn’t prevent normal level noise being heard. I am extremely surprised that no-one else has raised the soundproofing issue so maybe we are particularly sensitive to noise but I do think it is important to make other potential guests aware as if I had seen a review mentioning it I certainly wouldn’t have chosen this cottage. A real shame!

Great little property, very comfortable and fantastic location
A great little dog friendly property situated with everything you need on the doorstep - beaches, cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops. Very comfortable and clean. The slight issue we had with the toilet and shower was sorted very swiftly with excellent communication with the owner. Will have no hesitation in booking to stay here again - thank you for having us!

Beautiful cottage, well decorated and kitchen well-equipped! There was tea/coffee and milk when we arrived to get us through the first morning. The welcome pack was comprehensive. Coastal location, with 4 beaches reachable in under 10 min walk in any direction. Would absolutely recommend.

Great location as I wanted to swim at Porthgwidden easily but the cottage is a little drab and overall not up to the standard I expected. I contacted the owners with details of particular faults but they never responded.

St Ives
Good property with everything we needed. Right in the heart of St Ives so handy for shops beach and eating out. No parking, but that is to be expected in St Ives and we were able to park outside to unload on arrival and reload before leaving. Steep steps on entry and 3 flights of steep stairs to access all floors. Only minus was not much hanging space for clothes. Ok for us as only 2 and used spare bedroom. Overall good stay

Great location and cottage
An amazing find in St ives Literally two mins walk to the harbour and the array of shops and eateries and what a lovely place to chill. Then there is the other beaches all within a few mins walk. Parking is taken care of at the island car park - 100 yds away and reasonably priced. The cottage is well appointed with comfy furniture, all mod cons and a lovely decor and vibe. I will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cottage
Myself and my wife have just spent a wonderful week staying in this cottage in Saint Ives. The property is very well appointed, with a lovely kitchen diner on the ground floor, a very homely lounge on the first floor, twin room and shower room on the second floor, and a double bed with ensuite on the third floor. It really is a warm and cosy property situated in the heart of Saint Ives, with the local beaches very nearby. Car parking was easy and under a minutes walk from the property, although in busy times if you buy the week pass you won’t be able to stay in the other car parks with the same pass. This time of year we managed to get a space every day . Thank you to Emma for the use of your property, we really had a fantastic break celebrating our 25 years wedding anniversary, your home is lovely and we would definitely rebook if we had the opportunity in future. Highly recommended.

Perfect place to stay
What a wonderful week we have just had in this lovely little house. The property is perfectly situated in beautiful St Ives and has everything you need. It’s clean and modern and we were very sad to leave. I can’t say anything negative about the property at all it was just perfect. Our boys loved playing the games that the owners kindly left on the one rainy morning we had. This was our first time in St Ives and we will definitely be returning, the beaches are beautiful and there is so much to do. Only 2 negatives on St Ives is the parking and the seagulls which are extremely noisy through the night. But other than that it’s perfection.
