Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and the great location. We appreciate your comments regarding the cosmetic details — these have been passed on to the owner for their attention. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
We got married in Dec and rented this as a "mini moon". We loved the apartment - views are spectacular and it was perfect for the two of us. Clean, well equipped and a great location. We had a very happy week here; hiking along the coastal path, new year festivities with friends in town and just relaxing. We love St Ives and will stay again here.
