Lovely week in St Ives
My husband and I stayed at Brantwood last week. It far exceeded expectations. The property was clean and spacious but best of all was the location. Near to local shops and cafes and right on the beach with the most outstanding view. Somewhere I would love to return to.

Lovely house overlooking Porthmeor Beach
My friend and I had a lovely week at Brantwood. The weather was rather windy but brightened up for a couple of days. I was surprised at how busy St Ives was at this time of year - I last visited around 6 years ago and it wasn’t half as busy.
The only improvements I would make are having a full length mirror somewhere, a tv in the dining area and making an upstairs wc/bathroom.

Stunning Location, amazing property, by far the best I've ever stayed in!
Wow! What a property! This is by far the best property myself and my family have ever stayed in, the location was perfect with parking five mins walk away. Brantwood had everything and more, body boards for the teens with beach chairs, sun loungers and beach toys. Literally a home from home with comfy beds, lovely decor and welcome tea/coffee/milk/biscuits & fresh flowers on arrival. We fell so lucky finding this property and the direct beach access was perfect, town just a minutes walk away with shops and cafes and restaurants. We would all love to come back but we looked at availability and sadly all the school holidays are taken for 2025 & 2026 and I can see why! If you are considering this property don't hesitate as its a perfect place with stunning views. Thank-you so much for letting us stay here, memories will last a lifetime and its our new happy place, hope to visit again soon when and if we can. Would highly recommend visiting Peppers Italian during your stay that has great service and food, also the Balancing Eel for takeaway fish and chips!! Thanks again for our amazing holiday, 5 stars all round. The Atterbury family.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 September 2024
Hi Daniel, many thanks for writing such a super review, our very first Vrbo review! School holidays in 2025 are now fully booked, however 2026 should still be possible, but we wont start taking 2026 bookings until June 2025 by when our family will have chosen some weeks for ourselves, then we will free up remaining dates on Vrbo. Thanks again, Peter
