We enjoyed our stay in Bluebell. Its a nice cottage in good location for town. Great comfy bed in top floor bedroom. Like a lot of cottages in St Ives the stairs to the kitchen are steep so care is needed. Good to have the small outside area particularly if you have a dog (and it can be cleaned down with outside hose).

Great location, comfy beds, has almost everything you need. The cleanliness could be improved and the property needs minor improvements, including modernisation and repairs throughout. We feel the value for money was good for March, but wouldve have been disappointed if we had paid more due to the above. Would recommend due to location and comfy beRead moreds. Hide

Lovely house; very clean and plenty of space for four older teenagers and two adults . Excellent location. No parking but that wasnt an issue for us as we rented a space just up the road. Only downside for us was the master bed being uncomfortable. I wouldnt recommend for anyone with mobility issues as the stairs are very steep especially going dowRead moren into the kitchen, but again not a problem for us. Would definitely recommend and use again. Hide

Lovely location and property. Dont stay here if you like a lie in as the seagulls wake you up and are very noisy throughout the day and night. I wouldnt advise renting this property if you are disabled. The stairs are very steep and the kitchen is difficult to get up and down from

Bluebell Cottage is in a great location, near the town and with a supermarket close by. On entering the cottage we found it to be very clean and had everything we needed. We had a lovely week.

The only reasons to score down were on a few things. The hoover bag was full solid. Which then made it difficult to use and smelt. The shower head on the bathroom was broken so you couldn't move it up high so made showering difficult. And the bathroom had a lot of black mould, which could easily be removed with some bleach and a good scrub. OtherwiRead morese we loved it. Hide
