Great location and perfect place for our Cornwall getaway!
February 22, 2025Lovely location. Clean property. We were quite disappointed there was no welcome pack of essentials such as milk, coffee water, local treats.. or similar, like we're used to with other accommodation in St Ives, just an empty hessian bag left on the dining table. Property would benefit from an outside tap to wash sand off all the beach gear. Sleeps a family of 4 comfortably, unsure if 6 people staying here would be a squish.
May 31, 2024Great for our family! Nice rooms, great facilities, close to beaches and town centre. Well-stocked kitchen, new shower and a little front yard.
