The owners have really gone above and beyond to create the perfect holiday home. The decor, the tech., everything that makes a kitchen, the furniture, the bedding - in fact everything was of really high quality. We had the best time exploring St Ives and enjoying the beaches and surf. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation.

Very comfortable beds . The interior of the cottage have high end everything including decor furniture everything . TVâs in every room very good high speed internet. Very spacious also have balcony as well. From outside you can believe this is same property. Big pay and park car park right next to the property I think owner should mention this itâs would make easier for people . Also they have free park which is far we couldnât find parking and the keys so didnât really bother about this as we prefer park closer so we did pay and park . But I would like to say big thank you to property owner it was nice and so clean end of our stay we bought our own cleaning products and left as itâs found . Definitely recommend you guys highly this cottage. Also Sarah left us nice cotton shopper with st Ives pictures on it bag to take home . Only thing I would advice donât book through Sykes as they let you down last minute but book through other booking providers. Thank you Sarah
