Great location right on the wharf. Lovely, quirky cottage. If you want to be immersed in harbour life and all that St Ives has to offer, you would love The Little House. Those with mobility issues might find the two flights of steep stairs challenging.

This cottage is a delight! While absolutely tiny (and yes, the stairs are tricky) it had everything we needed, the location was stunning, it was cosy and clean and clearly much loved.

A compact cottage situated in a perfect location. The property is tiny & space is at a premium, especially in the bedroom. The stairs are very narrow and I wouldn't recommend it if you have mobility issues. The cottage is tastefully decorated and is fully equipped. The views from the living room are stunning

We found a real contrast in the comments and reviews left by earlier holiday makers.except the family in the house in the period immediately before us. Such a shame when the house and the location are delightful.

We loved our stay at this cottage - ideal location for us and very pretty and clean decor - we needed to treat the stairs with respect as we are elderly but would definitely stay again - of course the lovely weather helped.

We absolutely loved our stay, every room has a direct sea and harbour view, stairs are steep but each stage so worth it. Tiny it is but with a warm heart.

The stairs are narrow and steep, and navigating the property could be a problem for less mobile or larger people - perhaps make that very clear in the description of the property. But no problems for us.

Fantastic location, although the parking arrangement was a little awkward. Very cosy, with a tiny kitchen, lovely bright lounge, snug bathroom, and comfortable bedroom. Wonderful views of the harbour & beach from the upstairs bay windows. The staircases were a little tight & steep! But, overall, this is a great base for exploring & enjoying St IvesRead more. Hide
