Tennisplätzen und nahe am Bahnhof St Ives eigentlich gut, allerdings ist die Zufahrt abenteuerlich. Wohnung ist nur über eine sehr enge und äußerst steile one-way Zufahrt erreichbar. Für unser Auto aufgrund, dass etwas tiefergelegt war, schlicht unmöglich. Zudem ist die Straße eigentlich als gesperrt gekennzeichnet, dass heißt man muss erst mal wissen, dass man da reinfahren darf / soll. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war das Foodfestival, deswegen kamen einem auf der one-way Straße, die eh schon sehr eng und ohne Ausweichmöglichkeit war, auch noch Autos von den Foodfestival Betreibern entgegen. Sprich Rückwärtsfahren bergauf war angesagt. Die Zufahrt zur Wohnanlage war dann noch mit Dixi Klos blockiert, so dass wir es dann aufgegeben haben. Zur Wohnung: positiv ist, dass sie großzügig aufgeteilt ist, allerdings schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und es wären einige Erneuerungen notwendig. Vom Balkon oberhalb tropft es durch. Daher ist auf dem Balkon sitzen nur eingeschränkt möglich. Keylock Öffnung ist hin, da kommt man nur a den Schlüssel, wenn man sich die Fingernägel kaputt macht. Microwelle u. Kühlschrank hatten auch schon bessere Zeiten. Matratzen ziemlich durchgelegen. Gebucht für 3 Leute für 4 Nächte - es war nicht mal das Minimum an Ausstattung da, kein Duschgel und Shampoo, kein Tee, kein Zucker und/ oder Milch, kein Trinkwasser. Klopapier nur 2 dünne Rollen. So bei anderen nie gehabt. Daher wird der Aufenthalt dort für eine Einmaliger bleiben. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33a4cbcb-d865-45d8-a182-7749639e1781-1747980235292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3bc5c20d-130b-409d-9d61-c83985abc816-1747980238553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d080476-54ae-4673-ac6f-b403ca04fbb9-1747980231834.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephanie S.

Jemma was a great host and arranged flowers etc to be at the property before we arrived. My gf loved them. The only issues we encountered were the lack of taxis on a rainy day, book well in advance (no Uber), Just Eat is the only food delivery app that has any availability (only 4 restaurants) and the phone signal and data coverage is very patchy. City slickers will take some time to adjust but after a while its great that your phone doesn't work that well, no spam and no work calls, bliss! ##### Alexander D.

Across tennis courts, ocean views, parking below property and walking distance to centre of St Ives - what can be better! Only thing, if there could be darker curtains set up in bedroom facing I ran would be great as one ends up waking up quite early! Other then that, all as said above is perfect! ##### Rocio K. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel S. 14 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved our stay Perfect location for Portminster beach., which is a lovely beach with mini golf, beach cafe’s for food and drinks, and short walk to St Ives. Car parking space right outside was really useful as hard to come by with cottages. Loved the lounge and kitchen space. Overall we loved our stay here, a very happy few days, thank you - we would recommend. ##### Rachel S.

Had a great week here. Close to town and all shops and restaurants with fabulous sea views from the apartment. Went on some beautiful coastal walks and enjoyed the nearby beaches. ##### Claire G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole S. 20 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a find! Jemma's lovely apartment was the perfect place for a long weekend in St Ives. It's spacious and has enormous windows in the living room that look out to a wonderful view of St Ives harbour in the near distance. We were so pleased that it only took ten minutes to walk into town but even better, there was a lovely beach and beach restaurant right on our doorstep. I could have sat on the balcony all day gazing at the view. And Jemma was really communicative - answering all my queries immediately. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Carole S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katharine G. 4 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything you could want in a St. Ives stay Lovely building, in an awesome location. I couldn't believe it would be as nice as the pictures promised, but it was! The view is lovely, you are steps from the beach and a lovely bistro. It's a very short walk to enjoy everything about St. Ives. Nice and quiet and we could hear the waves on the beach as we slept. Really appreciated the safe parking right below the balcony as well. We were able to get an SUV in there, no problem. We couldn't ask for more! ##### Katharine G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
