A great location in the centre of St Ives with lovely views over the roof tops to the harbour. We particularly enjoyed the clock on the church tower as our own individual alarm clock. The flat had everything we needed and a comfortable bed so we slept well.

A perfect stop for a short break for a couple. Amazing location! Fantastic views from the kitchen & bedroom area where there is a table & chairs that you can sit & have your breakfast looking out to sea, hear the waves, & see the stunning sunrises. The church tower opposite chimes away every hour which is absolutely delightful! You always know whatRead more time it is! The small kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook, hob & microwave, no oven but perfectly adequate. We actually ate out mostly as there are plenty of great restaurants, places to eat so we only used it for breakfast. The bed was comfortable, shower fine, tall people would have to watch their heads, duck here & there in the bathroom by the toilet & sink but it didn't really bother us. The deck from the living area is a lovely outside space & perfect on a fine day being able to view from roof top height. Overall it is light & airey & we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. We had no issue parking in the car parks fairly nearby but we were out of season & you can always unload your things slightly further down as long as you stay with your vehicle. There are a few short flights of steps up to the flat itself but worth it when you look out at the view. A selection of games, books, CD's, Dvds, chair pads etc was a nice touch. Can be a bit noisy when the crowds leave the pub nearby due to the location but it doesn't last long & we heard it only a couple of times & it is to be expected being so near to the front with restaurants, pubs so close. Would definitely stop again! Hide

Well equipped centrally located flat. Fantastic views over the harbour and bay. The roof terrace was very pleasant in the afternoon sunshine. One can get fit walking up and down the town's hilly streets and the steps up to the top floor flat too. Shops, bars, restaurants, museums and beaches all within walking distance, meaning that once any car isRead more parked it can be left, so enjoy St Ives. Hide

Lovely property with fantastic views and a lovely balcony/terrace. Bathroom a bit awkward around the toilet and sink area - because of the eaves, kept banging head but can't be helped due to shape of room. Nice that a few DVD's books and games were provided if required and especially good that there was an extension lead which was useful and reqRead moreuired. Was very centrally located, lots of steps (but worth it for the views) so would definitely be a problem for those wit mobility issues. Lovely charming apartment and would definitely stay again for the location and the views. Hide

We had a wonderful stay at The Deck in April. The central location is wonderful, and during the off season there wasnt much noise in the evenings so we werent disturbed. The space is lovely, there are three different views of the sea, and the bed was particularly comfortable. Its a holiday home you really feel like you can live in, and is brilliantRead more value for the location, so I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others! Hide
