"A beautiful property in an incredible location! Minutes to the bustling centre of St Ives but also within its own private street. Little peaceful nugget! Absolutely loved it. 10/10 for location, cleanliness and communication. Thanks!"
September 5, 2020"Stayed here for a lovely few nights at the start of October. The house is brilliantly located for exploring St Ives. All the museums, beaches and shops are only a few minutes walk away, whilst the house remains quiet thanks to it being tucked away on a quiet path. From the top room, you can even hear the sea!"
October 7, 2019"Delightful cottage, bright, clean, plenty of space, comfortable beds/sofas. Very close to the town and beaches. The only problem – steep lane/steps to get to it!"
