The A Family
Absolutely loved our stay at Zareba house. Retrieved the key from the safe as per instructions. The house was very clean and neat with a modern feel throughout with stylish décor. Every room is spacious. The bedrooms were lovely and quiet at night with good double glazed windows. Views from the house were absolutely fantastic!!! Lovely touch with a bouquet of fresh roses on arrival and the cream tea ingredients for us. Although we didnât need the use of the apartment in the basement, we did have a look and could see it was beautiful with more stunning views. The terrace is great overlooking Porthminster beach and St Ives harbour with outdoor furniture available. Easy walk into the town area and beyond and so close to the train station which was a win win. We would definitely stay again!!
