We loved our stay in Minmar Cottage. The weather was pretty awful whilst we were there for the week, but it made it all the more cosy as the cottage was always so warm and welcoming after a wet & windy walk. The cottage is situated down a quite street with parking opposite for a fee, though the parking spaces are very tight. Minmar is in a great Read morelocation with all amenities close by. The cottage is spacious enough for what we needed as a small family, and with a bonus of a downstairs toilet as well. There is a small enclosed garden as well which is ideal for people with dogs like ourselves. We would definitely recommend to others & hope to stay their again Hide

Perfect stay in St Ives! Minmar cottage was so cosy and felt like a home from home. Spotlessly clean and great facilities. We particularly liked all of the games and complimentary tea and coffee - nice touch.
