Cute, homely venue. Close to everything whilst still feeling disconnected from the hustle and bustle!
July 25, 2026Had a very nice stay in St Ives!
The location is great, the comfort is excellent, it is a very cozy cottage, and it was also ideal that there was parking in a secure garage around the corner.
June 20, 2026The Bolthole is compact but very sweet and perfect for a few days break. The location is great and the parking is really convenient and a huge perk in St Ives. The street is narrow and close to pubs and takeaways so we expected noise but it really didn’t impact our stay. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The only issue we had (which Cornish Riviera Holidays responded to immediately) is the hot water in the electric shower can be temperamental. Overall it was a brilliant stay walkable to all the beaches, shops and restaurants and we would definitely stay again.
