The house was absolutely lovely - clean, comfortable and really baby friendly. It was very easy to find and get in and when we had an issue with the high chair they were very responsive and helpful and sorted the problem very quickly. If you don’t mind a short drive, Carbis Bay and Hayle beaches are both really beautiful and much less busy and easier to find parking. On the whole, St Ives is a beautiful town and we will definitely come back.

The cottage is comfortable and in a nice location. Having a parking place is a huge bonus. Walkable distance from town. Garden area and table and chairs to sit out that is very nice. Very generous welcome pack, thank you very much
