Delightful Stay in St. Ives
This is a wonderful property and overseen by an incredible owner who couldn’t do enough to help provide recommendations for our stay, provisions and more. St. Ives is the nicest town in the area and the house is just a few steps away from the shops, bars and restaurants. But what makes this place special is that it is perched on top of the rocks, with a picture perfect view of the beach, harbor and – if you’re lucky – the seals. The house itself is cozy and very clean, with everything you need, including a bath with a view of the ocean. Simon, the owner, is a really nice guy, who genuinely wants his guests to have the best possible experience. There’s lots to do in the area – St Michaels Mount is interesting (but you have to book a slot) and the Godolphin restaurant which is right next to it is a cut above most eateries. The nearby coastal walks are awesome. The Guinness in the Sloop is very tasty – too tasty. Surprisingly, the Thai restaurant in town is really good and the chicken at Beer and Birds was a hit with the kids. We went in November so the town was quiet, but I heard from a number of people that it gets busy in the summer, so book restaurants ahead. Enjoy and we'll definitely be returning to this property.
