A lovely long weekend in St Ives. Property is very nice, everything was new and very clean, seemed to be recently renovated. It's located nearer the top of St Ives so up hills, bare this in mind if you have any walking difficulties I wouldn't recommend, it's 10-15 walk into the town, a little longer going back up. As stated on the listing, there is no on site parking, but a long stay car park a very short walk which was £10.50 per day and £26.50 for the week. All parking there seemed to be this same price. Only other slight negative is that the it's directly on a road with the main bedroom overlooking it so can be noisy with the window open. But overall we were very happy with it for the money we paid and would return.

Christmas stay!

We had a great time here and the property was just what we needed. Perfect location and spotlessly clean with great amenities. Only downfall the fridge didn’t appear to have a freezer compartment as stated in the description.Overall, a wonderful stay in St Ives and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
