Property code: OC-ALBT02

This traditional cottage is in the heart of St Ives and located in a quiet and hidden location. The property enjoys wonderful, panoramic sea views over the town and harbour and across to The Island and Godrevy Lighthouse. There is a private garage for guests to use, a rare find in St Ives!

The newly refurbished bathroom is on the ground floor with a shower over the bath.

Take a stroll through the town and visit the numerous independent shops and galleries, stop for lunch al fresco on the harbourside or take a wonderful train ride on the pretty St Ives branch line and enjoy the fabulous golden sands and coastal scenery.

We had a great stay here which was in the centre of St Ives with 5 minute walk to the harbour and main street. Having read all the reviews we felt some were a little unfair. Yes the home is small but they have managed to fit it out really well and even had a dishwasher and washing machine. The bed was super comfortable and amazing views out to the Read moreharbour, beach and sea. We felt the standard was high - the sofa could have been bigger/more comfortable but thats the only comment wed make. A big bonus was having the garage for the car and it is small like is mentioned. It takes some manoeuvring but we only got it out once the whole week. The garage will only fit smaller cars - there are local car parks if needed. There are many steps up to the property but its definitely worth it with the views you are rewarded with - its a good workout though! We would definitely stay again and it was great value for money.

Good central location, not easy to find first time. You go through a wrought iron gated archway. Amazing sea view from the bedroom. Off season long stay parking in Barnoon car park less than 10 mins walk was 16.50 for the week. Cottage was very clean and had everything that you needed. Would definitely stay again.

This property has sadly not been kept up. It is clean but no one is taking real care of the place which is not what I would expect from a relatively expensive rental. Would not have complained over the various small things that need a fix up, but then we had no hot water for last 2 days so sadly it all adds up to a negative review. Some very good Read morepoints - location and quietness and a lovely view from bedroom but annoyed I have had nothing more than a sorry as compensation for the troubles we had which became inconvenient and time consuming. Who wants to end a holiday trying to work out someone else's plumbing problems! Hide

Great little cottage for a short break - myself, my husband , our teenage daughter stayed with our little dog for a 3 night break and had a lovely time. Nice and clean and tidy on arrival - and tea /coffee/ milk and biscuits waiting for a much needed cuppa !

Great location, but only really suitable for able bodied adults due to the steep steps up to the property that become slippery when wet. There is a damp smell that hits you when you walk it but you do get used to it! Agree with previous reviewers that the cottage is only big enough for two due to the downstairs space (the two seater sofa is small aRead morend narrow and there is only one other comfortable chair). The king size bed is very comfortable and the views from the main bedroom amazing. The kitchen is well appointed despite being very compact, b Lovely dcor throughout. Very quiet. Would recommend to single people or a couple. Hide

Very small for 2 adults & 2 kids. Great location & comes with a handy (narrow) garage. The garage was the reason we chose this place as there's very little parking in StIves. St Ives is a great place to visit.

For the price this place really was not worth it, it had a really bad mouldy smell, the bath wouldnt drain and its tiny. We stayed here as a family of four with two young children and there was no space for their clothes, only two seats at the table and was like staying in a cave. The only positive is the bedroom having a nice view and the locatiRead moreon. For this price we have previously stayed in much nicer properties in the area.

Excellent location. Parking/garage extremely tight couldnt use garage as was unable to actually get out of car. Had to spend 10 a day to park. Steps up to property very uneven especially with lugging up 3 large cases and 2 kids. It done the job for a week but a little on the small side for us.
