The cottage is lovely and has everything needed for a comfortable holiday including two bathrooms and three toilets and you also have a dedicated parking space. It's a short walk to town or to Porthmeor beach but it is uphill on the way back.

It is quite a walk into St Ives which is downhill , but quite a hilly walk up.

Really good sized property for us and our 3 year old daughter. Had everything we needed in terms of equipment and facilities. Bedrooms comfy and a really good size. Parking space a massive bonus, short walk to town, beaches, train station, walk back up is fairly steep which wasn't an issue for us but may be for others.

The house is great - well equipped and everything works. - but when we arrived there was mess over the floors, kitchen worktops and sofas. Like the cleaning had not been completed properly. First thing we did was hoover and clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here its a great location close to Porthmeor beach and the town itself. Very spacious and clean. Most important for us it was perfectly safe and secure for our dog. For any any dog owners who might need to know the walls in the back garden are high enough for our very energetic whippet not to be able to jump over and Read morethere is patio and stone flooring. Would definitely stay here again! Hide
