The apartment was very clean, spacious and well-equipped for a relaxed break in St Ives. It is situated in a quiet area though a fairly strenuous uphill walk from the harbour which might not suit everyone! Car parking is on-site and a great asset.

Excellent property, clean, comfortable and convenient.

Apartment was first rate. The price to be paid for its fine views is a somewhat arduous climb on foot up some pretty steep hills from the town centre, harbour and town beaches, just something to be aware of if you are not naturally energetic (its location is too close to justify a taxi, and parking in town is very limited, we only saw one bus which appears to go to the Leisure Centre). Nonetheless, we had a great time despite its being out of season.

St Ives Eagle’s Perch

A sweet and simple condo - basic comfy, nothing fancy. In a good location above the town center and with its own designated parking spot, but there are a LOT of steps to get to the unit and it’s on two floors. I would stay again, but it might not be the best choice for everyone.

Very nice location and parking is easy to access. Be very specific on guest number and be sure to order towels and linens as they are not available unless arrangements made. Is on the second floor so expect some steps for luggage. Basic appliances and kitchen supplies. Rooms are small but adequate. Shower/ tub is on a raised platform. Bring basics like toilet tissue and dishwasher detergent. Beautiful views from bedroom.

Wonderful Christmas/New Year getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from Boxing Day until 2nd Jan. The maisonette is super clean and well equipped, the kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal including plenty of utensils, weighing scales and pans. The kids loved the added toys and games and if guests have younger children it’s lovely to see high chairs, a stair gate and plastic bowls and plates are all available. The maisonette is in an ideal location with the town and beaches within walking distance. Having a parking space that close to town is a big added bonus too. Justine is very proactive and helpful which is really appreciated. I would book this property with confidence again. Many thanks.

Die Lage in Bezug auf die Nähe zum Strand oder zur Stadtmitte war sehr gut. Die Lage der Wohnung in dieser ziemlich heruntergekommenen alten Anlage war schlecht. Wenn man auf den Parkplatz fuhr, roch es nach vermoderndem Abfall, der wohl auch nur selten abgeholt wurde. Das Haus von außen muss dringend saniert werden. Der Aufgang zur Wohnung ist steil und auch da muss man durch einen heruntergekommenen Hinterhof, vorbei an einer Messiwohnung. Die Fotos der Wohnung stimmen definitiv nicht mit dem Ist-Zustand überein. Auch da roch es unangenehm, als wir reinkamen. Die Spülmaschine enthielt größere Mengen an Essensresten, der Filter war seit langer Zeit nicht gesäubert worden. Die Geräte und auch die Möbel haben schönere Zeiten erlebt und sind jetzt als und verbraucht. Die Dusch ist absolut nicht geeignet für kleinere Kinder, ältere Menschen. Man muss erst zwei glatte Stufen erklimmen, um in den “Bottich” zu gelangen. Es gibt keine Zentralheizung und somit auch kein warmes Wasser. Dieses gibt es in der Dusche nur, wenn man einen Schalter betätigt (auch damit waren wir nicht vertraut). Die Terrasse kann man kaum nutzen, wenn man mal in Ruhe seinen Tee trinken möchte, da man den Nachbarn gleich auf den Tisch schauen kann und diese uns. Ich habe dem Vermieter auch schon einiges erzählt, was uns nicht gefallen hat. Er ist sehr nett, aber nicht wirklich auf die Zustände eingegangen. Wir werden dieses Objekt definitiv nicht wieder buchen und können es auch nicht weiterempfehlen.

Unterkunft ist so lala

Wir haben diese Unterkunft für Ende September gebucht: Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut gelegen; allerdings nicht sehr ideal für Menschen mit Geh-Einschränkungen, da man steil bergauf laufen muss. Man hat jedoch einen fantastischen Blick und ist in 7 Min in der Fußgängerzone. Um die Ecke ist ein schönes Kaffee und eine Art Kiosk. Was uns nicht gefallen hat ist; dass man für die Bettwäsche und Handtücher extra zahlen musste- diese Regelung gilt jedoch nur ab Ende September. Dies ist nicht nachvollziehbar, denn September gilt im allgemeinen als Top Reise Saison. Zudem reist man als Tourist wohl kaum mit Handtüchern und Bettwäsche im Flieger an. Ganz schlimm war die Dusche und deren Funktion. Die Regelung der Temperatur ist furchtbar. Entweder man verbrüht sich oder duscht kalt. Der Wasserdruck ist so schwach,sodass man Shampoo aus langen Haaren nicht heraus gewaschen bekommt.

Great House for Family

We stayed for five nights in July. Justine was great at communicating and gave us all the necessary information well before we set off. The house was minutes walk from the beach and in a perfect location for all of St Ives, it had all the amenities we needed and more. It was also great exercise walking up and down the hill from the house daily. The house was quiet at night for a good nights sleep too!

I stayed here with my husband and 2 year old for four nights to explore St Ives and the surrounding area. The walks into town, Porthmeor Beach and the Tate were short and simple. Very clean and charming property. Great size for a family. Well stocked with kitchen utensils to cook meals. Added bonuses for us were having a nice wooden playground just outside, the sun terrace, and a parking spot. Host was easy to reach.
