We were 4 adults from Washington,DC. We were able to walk to several beaches... our two favorites were Porthmeor and Porthwiggen. Thank you! ##### Denise c. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dragana 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was a real home away from home, clean, well equipped and spacious. There are three beaches within a few minutes walk. The only downside is slow internet connection with no wi-fi internet access in the main bedroom. Connection is good downstairs and in the small bedroom right above wi-fi router. Apart from that, everything was amazing. ##### Dragana Stayed 12 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosemarie M. 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy cottage in Central St Ives This well appointed, well equipped cottage was perfect for exploring St Ives. It is within 5 minutes walk of 3 beautiful beaches and the harbour. Our American companion was fascinated by the fact that the front door of the property opens onto one street and the back door onto another! ##### Rosemarie M. ### 8/10 Good #### Helmut R. 27 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Nicht noch einmal Das Ferienhaus liegt sehr zentral zu zwei Stränden und der City. Dafür sind die Parkmöglichkeiten katastrophal. Es darf vor dem Haus lediglich zum Be- und Entladen kurz gehalten werden. Die Parkplätze in der Umgebung sind ständig überfüllt und die Parkplatzsuche ist abendfüllend. Das Haus ist sehr klein, die verschiedenen Räume nur über diverse Treppen erreichbar. Die Einrichtung ist altbacken und spartanisch. Der Teppichboden ist an mehreren Stellen verfleckt. Die Kücheneinrichtung lässt auch zu wünschen. Positiv zu bemerken ist die Reinigung des Hauses nach einer Woche. Außerdem gab es bei der Ankunft ein Geschenk mit verschiedenen Lebensmitteln. ##### Helmut R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucie S. 1 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay We have stayed a few times in St Ives and know the best location for us which is why we chose this property. It’s away from the hustle and bustle but a stones throw from the beach which we love. Property was clean and we loved the complimentary Cornish tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival! Thanks, the Simpson family ##### Lucie S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Conor M. 8 Nov 2018 #### Charming little cottage Nic cottage, one street back from the harbour so perfectly positioned for everywhere in St Ives town. Very clean and comfortable, well equipped and a very well managed property. Nice touches with a bag of tea, coffee and biscuits on arrival. Recommended. ##### Conor M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr Franz I. 5 Nov 2018 #### wunderbares Haus in Cornwall Sehr schön eingerichtetes Haus. Kann man nur empfehlen. ##### Dr Franz I. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Regula M. 6 Oct 2018 #### Das Domizil liegt in einer idealen Umgebung und ist sehr gemütlich, auch für Einzelreisende Ich fühlte mich sehr willkommen: Im Wohnzimmer brannte eine Lampe, auf dem Küchentisch stand eine Tasche mit Essenswaren von Cornwall und die Informationsmappen sind sehr ausführlich, allerdings nur auf Englisch. Das Cottage ist allgemein sehr gut eingerichtet, auch die Kücheneinrichtung ist für eine Ferienwohnung sehr gut, sogar Putz- und Waschmittel, Lappen und WC Papier waren vorhanden. Die Raumtemperatur in den verschiedenen Räumen erfuhr ich als zu unterschiedlich: Wohnraum und Küche eher frisch, die Schlafzimmer und das Badezimmer eher zu warm. ##### Regula M. Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Xiaolei R. 26 Jul 2018 #### Super zentral, gemütlich Das cottage ist sehr zentral gelegen und gemütlich eingerichtet. Man ist zu Fuß innerhalb von 3 Minuten an der Uferpromenade. Leider die Möwen sind morgens sehr laut und das Bad sehr klein. ##### Xiaolei R.
