A comfortable and nicely sized apartment for a couple or single person with the benefit of private parking. Great location. A little finessing would go a long way.

We came back for a second year - we loved the well-equipped flat, the comfort, the simplicity of it all... and of course the view of the sea and clouds across St Ives and the ever-changing weather!!

Oh the view from no.31 - just sit and watch clouds, sea and beach... But then go back to the comforts of a lovely little flat: really spacious bedroom, lovely hot shower, well-equipped kitchen. Can we come again...?
