But amenities are always there for the traveller. We think about your stay in every way and want to make sure your catered for throughout. Many thanks and hope to see you again when you return to st Ives.

The cottage was very good. It had everything you could need and was warm and cosy. Decent heating in every room (often not the case!) and was spotless on arrival. All the small details had been thought of which made a difference, and things like washing powder for the machine, salt for cooking, tea and sugar for when you first arrive were all appreciated. Plenty of bedding, including spares if needed. Host was helpful and responsive. An excellent stay and we will definitely be back

Gorgeous stay!

The best of the stay for us was how thoughtfully things were made available to cater to the needs of the guest. From the Welcome book which had instructions and takeout menus to the safety pins in the drawers to the utensils in the kitchen. The location as well made our stay so much better, there is Co-op a couple meters away and short walk to the seafront.

A nice cosy cottage, although kitchen was a bit small, it had all the amenities, a few basics like sugar, teabags, pepper, were missing, but overall we had a nice relaxing stay.

Lovely cottage, very well equipped

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage especially for it's easy walking distance to St Ives town centre. The house is very well equipped (we stayed for a weekend) and the biggest bonus was the amount of toys and DVDs for our 5 year old, especially on a rainy day!
