Spent a wonderful week here. Bit of a walk from the train station with a suitcase, but Surfers Nest is a good base for using the train or bus to explore this gorgeous region. Close to town. Easy to get in, via a lock box, and information is provided well before time. Very quick responses from hosts too. simple space, but exactly what I needed. Looks exactly as it does in the photos. Would return and recommend.

A wonderful place ideally located in St Ives with four or five beaches in easy walking distance. Really comfortable studio space, great for one or two people. We found the space comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Only issue was an upstairs neighbour who could be quite loud up until 11 or 12 at night. Not ideal for a light sleeper, but besides this, everything was great.
