This flat is in an ideal position with lovely views of the harbour and island. The accommodation was well laid out, well equipped and very cosy, this was very much appreciated as our stay was in November. The owner contacted me before our stay to explain that there was scaffolding in place at the side of the building which would not impact our stayRead more. It didn't but I thought that informing me in advance was a nice touch. Hide

Really nice place, would book again. Pros: fab location, short walk to town and beaches, beautiful sea & headland views from the lounge. Key safe mean you could just walk the few mins to the beach in swimwear and leave keys & phone at home. Very clean, nice new furnishings, comfy beds & linen, amazingly powerful shower, everything worked. Read more Outside space for drying wetsuits, towels etc, picnic table to eat outside looking across the bay. Cons: There is a parking space but its quite small & awkward - my estate car took some very careful manoeuvring to get in. To get out you need to reverse out & back up the hill, no room to turn. Fortunately the second space was unoccupied during our stay which helped but if 2 large cars would have been difficult. No washing machine. This wasnt too inconvenient in good weather but might be a problem if getting wet & muddy each day, or with younger children. Hide

Comfortable, quiet. light and spacious apartment with spectacular views across St Ives. Great to be able to sit out on your own private terrace. A few minutes walk into town with a steep walk back up. Having a car parking space right behind the property is definitely a bonus.

Flat was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Views are fantastic, of course that did mean a steep climb back from the beach or town but worth it! Location is very quiet and we slept well. Parking space is very tight and access really depends on whether the person in the adjoining space has parked considerately.

Good location however we were unable to park on arrival as the allocated space was not available, this caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience when one of the reasons for booking was to have a guaranteed parking space. Suggest the allocated bay is more clearly marked/roped off. There was also black mould in both bedrooms.

The property was a short walk to the harbour with parking which is crucial in St Ives in the summer. The bedrooms were both very well equipped and comfortable. The kitchen was also well equipped should you want to eat in. The shower was great, very powerful. The outside seating area was an added extra in the good weather.
