Island Cottage is in an ideal position for Porthmeor and Porthgwydden beaches. It is also just two minutes from the harbour and shops yet the street is quiet. The cottage is comfortable and warm with plenty of kitchen crockery, cutlery and utensils etc New carpets and floors appear to have been fitted throughout. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival and we felt very cosy in there. The accommodation on offer is excellent value for money and ideal for families with children. We had a party of 3 on our trip and there was plenty of room. It might be a little cramped in the sitting room for 6 adults but bedroom and kitchen space is more than enough. We loved our stay there and will certainly use it again.

Fast, friendly, helpful. What more could you want?

Absolutely lovely cottage

Lovely property for a large family. Great location and everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Wonderful cottage in an amazing location. We have already booked to return next year. South facing bench outside the back of the cottage was perfect for sitting in the afternoon sun! Thanks.

I had a lovely holiday in St Ives, but unfortunately was extremely disappointed in the cottage as it was dated, dark, stained carpets, ripped settee and a broken cooker hood, (informed cooker hood will be replaced when owner goes there.) This property is in desperate need of a makeover.

I would not recommend this particular property to anyone.

The Cornish people are all very friendly and welcoming. The Restaurants and cafes are very welcoming, the restaurants are having to social distance but the Mermaid Restaurant in Fish Street is doing a takeaway service of restaurant quality food at very reasonable price. The Balancing Eel fish and chip shop by the sloop was a very organised set up order at the front door pick up at the side window. The St Ives shops are running well in these hard times, don’t listen to the negatives because they are very positive.

Location amazing! Has all amenities you could want for a lovely time in our favourite place, St Ives.

We have stayed at island cottage several times and love it. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a cottage feel and the location is ideal for beaches and the town which are within a few minutes walk. My children refer to it as ‘ our holiday home’ and I truly wish it was!

Lovely stay Island Cottage

Decoration throughout needs updating, very dark and depressing. One bedroom needs refitting, no walking room around bed at all, totally impractical. Step into kitchen very steep, found unsuitable for toddler, elderly and anyone with knee problems. Mattresses need replacing, no one slept well. Not a comfortable stay. Having stayed in identical property on Island Rd for many years, will not return to Island Cottage, not worth the savings in rental cost.

Amazing little cottage in a perfect location, we were able to nip to the beach, or town and managed to avoid some of the downpours that Storm Dennis brought us. This house had everything you could need, including hot water bottles for the chillier nights. The kitchen was probably the best stocked kitchen we have come across in a holiday let, and it made self catering very easy. The cottage itself is cosy and welcoming and we felt very much at home here and wouldn’t hesitate to come again.

Very cosy cottage. Well stocked with crockery etc. Comfortable beds. Nice shower rooms.

We stayed May 25th till June 1st 2019 Not a very nice cottage, it’s dull, grim, dark, Needs a complete update, wouldn’t stay again.

Excellent location for beaches and island carpark.

The cottage was in an excellent location. Ideal for 6 adults as the added bathroom was a bonus. Lovely and warm making it very cosy.

Lovely cottage in an ideal location. Everything you could want for a great stay in St Ives

Our stay at island cottage was fantastic the location couldn't be more perfect.

I would be happy to recommend Island Cottage to potential future guests. The cottage is clean and comfortable, contains all the facilities required for a fun family holiday, and is ideally located for easy access to beaches (Portgwidden beach is literally a one minute walk from the cottage), the coastal footpath, shops and restaurants.
