We had the most amazing holiday here in St Ives. The apartment exceeded all our expectations ,it is superbly designed, immaculately clean, and has absolutely everything we could ever need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail really makes it feel like a home away from home. The highlight, of course, was the incredible sea view, waking up each morning to that view was simply magical, and watching the sunsets in the evening was unforgettable. The location is perfect for exploring St Ives, yet peaceful enough to relax and truly unwind. Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful space ,it made our holiday extra special, and we would love to return one day!

Beautiful apartment with an amazing view

The pictures of the apartment and the view looked spectacular and it more than lived up to it. Despite it being winter, the chairs set up in the window allow you to sit and admire the constantly changing ocean. We loved it and can't wait to come back.

Spring/Easter Break Trip

My wife, son, and I had an amazing stay in St. Ives and the beach view from the bay windows of this property was truly one of the highlights of our vacation. It made for a perfect start to every day. The property was immaculately clean and well located. The designated parking spot was a real plus and made arrival and departure a breeze in a town of notoriously tight streets. Having the basics (toilet paper, soap, and coffee and milk!) already there made for an easy start to our stay. Already looking for our next trip across rhe Pond to stay here again.

This property is even more beautiful than the pictures! Everything is high end and comfortable. Location is great.. just up the hill from the train station. Helen, the host, and Claire, the manager are both awesome. The view is beautiful. It was everything we had hoped for and more!

Great location to beach and food. Love the bakeries! Place was overall clean but carpets could use a cleaning as well as a cleaning of glassware. Had to wash before use. Also, paper towels/napkins would have been nice. We arrived late with a takeaway pizza and had nothing to wipe our hands with. Also, we stayed 4 nights and had 2 rolls of toilet paper. It goes fast when one has to use it to blow one’s nose since there was also no tissue available. These are just simple adjustments to recommend, not a reflection of the property as a whole. We loved the property and the assigned parking space! We would stay here again!

Thx for your feedback, as we strive to make our property the best it can be. There is usually spare toilet rolls in the main bathroom sink drawer , and unfortunately by the end of the busy season the carpets do get a little used and ready for their annual clean. We will get it done. Glad you had a great trip. Hope to welcome you back soon.
