I had an excellent time staying in this house. Beautifully presented and has everything you need. Would book again.

There is not much to dislike about this terraced house. It looks quite small from the front and back but actually is a Tardis. However the most outstanding feature (and there are plenty of others) are the views across St Ives harbour from the 2 front bedrooms and dining room. From your bed you can see the ebb and flow of the tide and an ever changing landscape. So bring binoculars. There are 4 bedrooms on the same floor and 4 bathrooms on different floors although only 1 bath. There is an en suite bedroom but this does not have views. It looks like it has recently been redecorated to high standards and there are TVs in 3 of the bedrooms and also a smart TV in the lounge with Netflix and the other internet channels. Wifi was running at about 6 Mbps and reception is best in the lounge and dining room. It supported 2 of the party with video calls. Mobile O2 signal is poor. You need to remember to duck when you enter the lounge. The kitchen has everything you would want including a wine cooler and there is plenty of room for cooking. There were 6 adults in our party and there was plenty of private space for all. There is an outside table in the back garden, up a set of tiresome steps, but no views. Make sure you protect your pasty from the seagulls. A large secure garage is at the top of the garden but getting you car in 1st time is a bit of a nightmare especially if it is dark. The entry road is very narrow and the garage door is at an angle to the long axis of the garage. Recognising this will be helpful as is having 2 other people to assist you in 1st time. I think the location is one of the best in St Ives. Porthminster Beach is less than 10 minutes away down 2 sets of steps and there are two other world class beaches accessible after a walk through the town including the option of surfing. There is plenty to do in St Ives with museums, art shops, restaurants, boat hire and walks along the coastal pathway. So walking out every morning for bread and croissants is the norm. You don't need a car. Also the house is within walking distance of St Ives station branch line so it is possible to come on Great Western trains (change at St Erth). The bus stop is opposite the house in front of a small terrace overlooking the town. There are benches here where you can sit and take your own drink admiring the view. There is a little noise from the buses but this did not cause any bother. We did not see the owners but had contact with them via email. Overall this is a very well run and maintained house in a unique position. Just remember to book your restaurants and attractions in advance during the Covid era.

We were a group of adults and teenagers and the house worked really well for everyone. There was plenty of space and the hot tub was very popular. The views were spectacular but we were still close to the centre of St Ives. Having parking was an added bonus.
