  This holiday apartment is a must for your next holiday to Cornwall!

  Booking through the website was simple. We received contact from the owner in advance with details. On arrival we accessed the property and found it to be well furnished, clean , tidy and presented with well thought out decor. There was the welcome sight, after a long journey to get there, of fresh flowers, tea , coffee, scones, jam, clotted cream, fudge, and other essentials (washing up liquid, soap, towels, shampoo, shower gel etc.). There was milk in the fridge. Welcome book included instructions for equipment in the apartment, leaflets for local attractions, and maps. The bathroom is a good size with seperate bath and shower. The kids were captivated by the in built tv / mirror in the bathroom. The small balcony overlooks the playground and local pub, and you can see the sea to the left… which is lovely to watch the sun set whilst the waves crash. The beach is a 2 minute walk away. There is a Fish and Chip shop also down the road (note it does only sell Fish and Chips… Cod Haddock and nothing else) The village itself is small it that’s what you want on a holiday like this. There is a cafe and ice cream shop nearby. The Victory Inn pub is a short drive away but worth it. A very nice holiday location.

  Fab location!

  Porthtowan is a little gem and Gecko Beach was very well positioned - great to just walk out onto the beach and be so close to wonderful coastal walks! There's all you need in Porthtowan with a few good restaurants (Blue Bar really relaxed and fun) and brilliant village shop. The fish and chip place next to village shop is fantastic!!! (Just be sure to book collection online early). And Porthtowan is a great place from which to explore Cornwall! The apartment was lovely, very well equipped and comfortable. We appreciated a few treats on arrival! Only downside for us were the bedroom blinds in the bedroom let too much light in - recommend blackout blinds or thicker curtains. Overall a fantastic & relaxing holiday, thank you

  St Ives view is a wonderful property and we are so pleased we have already booked it again for next year .

  The house is perfectly placed and is well equipped for everything you need The views are simply stunning However the only thing which is stopping us booking this property every year for our week in Cornwall is the beds ( we noticed this has been mentioned a few times ) the mattresses are so soft and low they sink below the bed frame when trying to get out and make them very uncomfortable and I think it would be a really nice touch to have higher quality pillows and sheets etc the property isn’t cheap to rent so I wasn’t expecting cheap linen That is THE ONLY thing that in our opinion needs addressing Saying that we had the most wonderful time and are already looking forward to next year

  We had such a lovely stay here.

  The layout was perfect and the view of the bay was outstanding. The kitchen was perfectly stocked, lots of seating in the living area. The double beds were comfy and all the rooms immaculately clean. We loved the short walk through the garden onto the cliff path down to the beach. The only change I would recommend would be the twin beds as these were really not suitable for adults. The mattress sinks below the surround frame which would probably not happen with a child. I am not sure it should really be advertised to sleep up to 8 adults. If the twin beds were to be updated to standard singles we would not hesitate to book this lovely property year after year for our now adult family.

  Luke's Barn is equipped with everything a family needs. Lovely, caring touches throughout the house. It's exceptionally clean (inside and outside) and we recommend to families as a peaceful holiday retreat. Close to Porthtowan and Portreath beaches. Don't be put off by owners living nextdoor, you will have privacy to relax, but they will help you with any queries if you ask them. Super hosts! Beautiful cats Flash and Dobby will keep visiting and keep all entertained- if the games room, hot tub, spacious garden, super sound system, board games and books aren't enough. We've had a lovely week (parents with children aged 13-20). Really pleased we booked Luke's Barn. Thanks Gary and Helen.
