Positives – Location, very central, with secure parking

We had a lovely stay at The Bolthole in St Ives in October. The accommodation, whilst small, was cosy, warm and comfortable with good amenities. The location was great and the parking was excellent – something to be relished in St Ives! The hosts were really friendly and responsive; solving any problems and answering any questions we had (not that there were many to ask, as their instructions were so clear!). The house was ideal for us and our toddler, who found the ladder to the bunk bed to be very entertaining! The bedrooms are a good size and the bathroom is well maintained. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back again and thank the hosts for such a lovely stay!
