great location to both the harbour and The Tate.
we had a very enjoyable time. the cottage is very snug and doesn't take long to warm up.. Very well decorated throughout perfect in size for a small young family. Also the housekeeper obviously takes a lot of care as it was very clean throughout .As mentioned you couldn't get a better location. we wouldn't hesitate in going back there.

Last minute booking.
We would not have chosen this property but our original cottage was cancelled the day before due to boiler failure. This property was chosen as it accepted a dog. But there were some major problems that we informed the manager about. The kettle was split on the bottom and leaked water. The main tap in the kitchen would come off and splash water everywhere if we turned 2 taps on. The main bedroom had a king sized bed and so no room to get in and out. Lack of draw space. The shower leaked on to the room below every time it was used but no water came out on to the bathroom floor. The smaller bedroom had 2 beds but no room between the beds and sockets and switches were sited just above the pillow on one bed. We think it is overpriced but we were grateful for the stay so do NOT want this review to be public. Just for your information and hopefully manager can sort out some of the problems. She was helpful and responded quite quickly but these items above need addressing and soon. We have pictures

Beautiful Cottage
My two young daughters and I spent a fabulous week in this pretty little cottage. I made use of the parking on offer; I was a bit of trek up the hill and pricey but worth it given the parking stress in the area, not sure what I would have done without it! The cottage itself was very pretty with lots of lovely ornaments and pretty touches around the place. Basic provisions including, bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee were even provided. The tiered garden was lovely for relaxing with a book and drink at the end of the day. Communication with Lisa was excellent before and during the stay. Would definitely recommend this place and Lisa as a host.

Great location, cosy cottage
We are a family of 4 with a dog and had a great holiday in this cottage. The location is very central, close to all beaches and shops. It was clean and the owner was very helpful and attentive. The cottage is typical of St Ives in that it is small with low doorways and four adult-sized people is probably too many as storage space is limited, but for anyone else it’s a good base.
