  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.

  Hello, first: I definitely recommend this house. Our stay was wonderful despite bad weather. The beds, linens, mattresses are excellent. The bathrooms and towels are excellent. The cleanliness was very good. It was pleasantly warm, the showers were excellent and the water was hot. Yes, some of the dishes are damaged, but there are tons of them. There are also more than sufficient numbers of beautiful glasses, cutlery and appliances. The appliances, the stove are excellent. Everything is well organized, there is a drawer with tools, there are even a few light medications for emergencies. Everything neatly sorted. The stylish plexiglass chairs look great, but should be handled with care, one already had a crack that we sorted out in advance. Nevertheless, the backrest of one chair broke off!! Thank God nothing happened to us. The beautiful couch upstairs actually needs to be cleaned, it smells really unpleasant. The wooden chairs on the terrace are partly rotten, you can put one of the numerous blankets over them. Parking and the driveway onto the property are unproblematic (VW Passat, Touran). The path down to the beach can only be used by experienced hikers.

  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

  An absolutely fabulous property with amazing views. Well equipped, very comfortable beds and sofas, plenty of comfy and eating areas, lovely to have a few essential provided eg dishwasher tabs, washing machine tabs, washing up liquid, loo roll, bin bags, tea and coffee etc. There is a super walk down to the beach (and a rather more strenuous walk back up!) where there is a cafe and shop and toilets. We can strongly recommend this for a larger group, family or friends. Tips - bring a sleep mask if you are in the top room as the velux doesn't have a blind. Check the garage - there is equipment there eg wind breaks that we only found after we bought our own - silly us! We can't wait to return.

  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.
