Guests say
Una Aurum 56 is a well-received holiday rental in St Ives, appreciated for its location and access to spa and swimming pool facilities. Guests find it a comfortable and peaceful base for exploring the area, with some enjoying the added touch of a welcome pack. While some guests mention issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the comfortable beds and quiet setting are often highlighted positively.
Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. Some found the property very clean, while others noted issues such as marks, cobwebs, and a stale smell upon arrival. The inconsistency leads to a slightly above-average score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to St Ives and Carbis Bay, offering a quiet and peaceful setting. Some guests noted the convenience of good links to local attractions, although one mentioned the resort is quite remote without a car.
The property is generally considered comfortable, particularly the beds. However, some guests found the shower small and the sofa uncomfortable, and one mentioned a lack of windows in the bedroom, leading to a stuffy atmosphere.
Facilities like the spa and swimming pool are appreciated, but there are comments about the need for maintenance and updates. The lack of an on-site restaurant and some broken items have affected the score.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency or quality of this gesture across all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that such gifts are a pleasant addition but not guaranteed.

Good condition, not too far walk from St Ives and Carbis Bay. Probably will need a car to venture further out though. Very quiet at night and peaceful setting. The lodge itself was good value for money - on arrival it could do with a bit of paint and a freshen up but has adequate kitchenware etc. The bed had hairs all over it, and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work, we just hoovered the bedding and was told it could be changed. The housekeeper brought us a new tv and sorted it for us. All in all, it was a good stay. I had a massage at Una which was lovely and the spa was average. I probably wouldn’t stay here again just due to first night, I just didn’t expect human hairs in the bedding and stains.
