  The apartment was well furnished and well equipped with top quality items and brands.

  The bed was comfy with a topper but we noted that only one pillow each side had a protector and there was no mattress protector over the topper. Lovely large towels with an extra bath towel each. No bathrobes which were in a photograph of the property we recall. Unfortunately the double reclining sofa ceased operation in the reclined position necessitating a call to the maintenance line. During the call we mentioned that the Tassemo coffee machine wouldn’t work as it needed descaling (we ascertained this from the instruction book but didn’t want to do this ourselves). Fab large terrace with ample patio furniture but unfortunately it didn’t look like the terrace had been cleaned. The property is set on a busy road with buses, coaches etc accelerating to get up the hill. Not overly peaceful to sit out during the day really. The view is a little limited by the trees/shrubs opposite. The owner has thought of everything with sun loungers provided but the terrace doesn’t get the sun in the afternoon which was probably when we would have used them. When we were sat early morning on the terrace a resident in the apartment above must have washed their terrace as water poured down just behind my wife. Another resident from above was witnessed shaking sand from their beach bag over the terrace - not great. The apartment is very well situated with a 10 minute walk into town. Less able should note that this is up a prolonged incline back. As keen gym goers access to the gym and swimming pool/hot tub really was a bonus. Overall a lovely stay in a great property with just a few niggles.

  We absolutely loved our stay at The View in August.

  A fabulous apartment with a short stroll to St. Ives Town Centre ... and even shorter to Porthminster Beach, which allowed our little dog to have fun before 10am and after 6pm, which suited us fine. Lovely touches at the apartment which were a big plus for us - the Bose speaker in the lounge, gorgeous Ritual reed sticks which smelled divine on entering the apartment, Tassimo coffee machine and really useful little baskets dotted in the bedroom and hallway for shoes and bits and bobs. Balcony furniture very comfy and the whole apartment was so well equipped we only ate out twice. We did go to the Harbour hotel to take advantage of the Pizza offer but were told not doing it that day. We still had lunch there and the food was lovely and we got our 20% off with the spa fob. Public transport was fabulous and surprisingly cheap, lots of regularly run buses to various places and the Open Top Lands End Coaster was a great trip. We also travelled to different places by train and it was all very easy on the Trainline app. A huge plus was the lockable parking space - although not directly by the apartment it was only up the road so no big issue for us.

  This is our 2nd visit to this lovely apartment and we absolutely love it.

  We always used to stay in carbis bay but we love being in St Ives and like that you are a little bit out of the town so it’s not to busy. The short walk to the town and the beach is perfect and parking is a real bonus in St Ives. The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need, the bed is super comfy and I love the big bath. The terrace is also great, our little fur baby loves to sit on the terrace and watch the world go by, as do we. My only little niggle (and it’s minor) is the internet, it’s very slow and a bit hit and miss. I’m self employed, so sadly have to still work when I’m on holiday and it proves a little challenging. Plus we couldn’t always watch our Netflix too. We’d love to come for a month in the low season but I don’t think I would manage internet wise. So we’ve booked for 2 weeks in November to see how I get on and then hopefully we can come for a month next year. It’s a real home from home and certainly our happy place. X

  The Little Netloft exceeded our expectations.

  We had a wonderful time here and it felt like home for a week. Fresh flowers and a cream tea awaited us, which was a lovely gesture from the owner. The extremely detailed information pack gave us plenty of ideas about where to visit and where to eat! We did not venture far as we loved spending time in Mousehole itself and just relaxing in the cottage. Furnishings, including towels and bedding were very high quality and the kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. Although the outside area is very small it still accommodates two people and the afternoon sunshine was lovely there! We were not able to unload outside the cottage as suggested, as it is a private parking space and it was in use, but the car park was very close, so it was not a problem. We've recommended the Little Netloft and Sykes to a number of friends since our return. It really is a lovely place!

  Lovely light airy apartment , spotlessly clean with a lovely decking area to sit and enjoy a morning cuppa.

  A nice central area to go visit lots of lovely places. Can highly recommend a trip on the ferry to the beautiful StMawes with a lovely meal at The Rising Sun. Or go to one of the many lovely beaches within a 40 minute drive such as Gyllanvase, Pentewan beach, St Ives-Porthminster beach . There's also the magical Lost gardens of heligan. Just a few things that could improve our stay would have been- a small welcome pack of milk , etc as it was quite late when we arrived. We appreciate the space in the apartment is for 2 but the shower cubicle is small particularly for guys, and the bed is quite small also and there was no dishcloth to wash up with. It would be helpful to have a visitors book with recommendations of where to eat , visit etc as if you don't know the area this would be help. We did thoroughly enjoy our stay .
