This cottage is all about the position. It overlooks the harbour, just a few paces from the sea, cafes and shops. The picture windows in the sitting room and dining room are fabulous. It is an old building with mostly small rooms and some low beams, a bit 'tired' in places but with comfortable beds, clean and a decent level of equipment (although aRead more smart TV would be welcome). The parking is in a large garage a couple of streets away - it is very tight to manoeuvre with pillars and awkward angles. (the risk of scraping the car was too high and we gave up - 16 for a week in the long stay car park was far easier). Information in the property was basic - and no welcome pack (no milk, tea, coffee...) This costs so little and smacks of penny pinching - at this price point at least. We had brilliant March weather and St Ives felt vibrant and looked wonderful - so much to see and do right on our doorstep (the bakery is a gem). Overall - recommended Hide

We had a lovely holiday and everything was just as we needed. The dogs loved being just next to the beach and there was plenty of room to put their crate up without impacting on living space. it was nice to have the living room in an elevated position and the view of the harbour and sea we fantastic. Would stay here again. Would recommend.

A lovely place to stay if you like St Ives. Fantastic views of the harbour, and beyond. The only thing that may be an issue for some, if you have a large car is the parking. It is good that it's provided, but is a bit tight to get in and out. 2nd time we have been, and we will most definitely try and be there again.

We chose Richard's Song for the superb location and it certainly is. A roomy and comfortable house with the ideal position for the harbour, central to beaches either way, and unsurpassed for people watching and their dogs! Our second time and would highly recommend.
