We couldnt work the fire, the pilot light didnt seem to be working. Or maybe it was just us. We found the cottage to be really comfortable and the location is great.

This was our first visit to this property, we were very pleased with its position and it was very clean and tidy when we arrived and the parking space was a great treat. St Ives is now becoming a car parking no go zone and an unnecessary added stress to a holiday, so a parking space is a big plus. A very quaint and cosy stay and have rebooked forRead more Spring 24. Thank you to St Ives Holidays and the owner of the property. Hide
