Reviews

THE HOBBIT FLAT THE WHARF ST. IVES This property was a late booking for us as it was an alternative choice, we were told a couple of weeks before we were due to travel that the property we originally booked 12 months ago was having some building work done and it would not be ready for our holiday dates, the new property was in the same area as the one we had originally booked and only a few yards away so we knew the location was great for us, the pictures on the website of the new property showed cushions on the sofa and on the bed ,also seat cushions on the chairs around the table, there were no cushions anywhere in the property and the chairs around the table were very hard, my Son in law who was staying in another property went up into town and bought us some seat cushions so we would be a little more comfortable, the bedroom was very small and would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues, there was also some sort of heater on the bedroom wall which made it harder still to get around the bed, the bathroom was ok but is in need of some upgrade, also the kitchen needs an upgrade too and the cooker was very old fashioned with rust on the outside, and dust on the shelf where the plates are stored, so I had to wash all the plates and cups before we used them, we have stayed in a couple of other properties in St Ives in previous years with Si Ives Holidays and have been very satisfied up to now, this property could be great with a few modern upgrades and comfort touches..

Location

St Ives is one of Cornwall's top destinations and a beautiful seaside town where visitors can enjoy a traditional beach holiday with a twist. It's easy to understand why the town has been attracting painters, sculptors and ceramists for decades with its stunning scenery and natural quality of light- one of only four Tate Galleries in the world is located here in the heart of the town. The town itself arcs around the working harbour- the heart of the historic fishing community. You could lose yourself for hours in the charming cobbled streets which are crammed with gift and craft shops, art galleries, top notch restaurants and welcoming local pubs- a real treasure trove just waiting to be explored!

St Ives also has four fabulous beaches, Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Harbour beach and Porthminster which between them offer miles of golden sand and hours of building sand castles, playing in the rock pools and other family friendly activities. Dogs are welcomed out of season. Throughout the year, St Ives has a busy event calendar including the St Ives Food & Drink Festival in May and a Music & Arts Festival in September.
