Great location, pet friendly. Some fixtures and fittings a bit dated but overall lovely place to stay
May 19, 2026Wonderful place to stay. Easy to get everywhere and quiet.
February 12, 2026A cute, little cosy dwelling in the heart of St Ives. It is exactly how it's described. The kitchen facilities are limited. However, I wasn't planning cooking on cooking three course meals for multiple guests. The bed is comfy. The bathroom is small but everything worked fine. Although I kept knocking the toilet roll holder off the wall – maybe that needs upgrading. It is true about the old fella upstairs sharing his telly audio with the neighbours but I managed to sleep ok. Overall it is affordable for St Ives and in the heart of the town. I will use again as I have family living in the town and visit every year. For affordability, cleanliness, location it has a 5 stars from me
