I would highly recommend Sea Urchin Studio for a couple or singe person.
I would highly recommend Sea Urchin Studio for a couple or singe person. The location is stunning with views of the bay towards Hayle and the Lighthouse (Sometimes!). It is extremely well stocked with every utensil you could think of and has a branch line running from the village to Penzance of Saint Ives within walking distance. Excellent!
Studio was clean and well equipped views were spectacular. It was an easy walk into st Ives or catch a train - 2 minutes walk - and just £1.00 each way, also beaches near the property. We had a lovely holiday and hope to return. Thank you.

Another lovely week at Sea Urchin.
Another lovely week at Sea Urchin. I have been coming for the last 5 years and will definitely be back. A lovely comfortable studio. Kitchen with everything you need. A hot shower. Comfy bed and good settee. Warm enough. And obviously the most amazing view of the sea and the beach. On the coastal path one way to St Ives, the other way to Lelant. 10 minutes walk to the local buses. And so quiet. I already miss it.
Excellent place to stay ,magnificent sea views ,beautiful gardens , very relaxing and peaceful. Car Parking Excellent, easy 5 min walk to the train station to St Ives and a lovely walk from apartment carpark.
Everything catered for in the studio apartment for your every need.
Overhaul excellent stay
Definitely recommend
