Really enjoyed Shell cottage, very quiet, yet right in the thick of it all, yes would return to this property, but we like to try different places, just 2 mins from Porthmeor beach which is so lovely, already looking to book for March, Aspects’s are just great.

October 2019

Wonderful cottage, cosy and well equipped kitchen, lovely big modern bathroom, beds really comfortable, cosy lounge with nice little terrace.all immaculately clean. Cottage is set back in courtyard so very quiet but only moments from shops harbour and beaches midway down the digey. Wonderful breakfasts all freshly cooked to order in the digey food room opposite Abundance of cafes and restaurants all serving good quality meals, but on my experience would not recommend the lifeboat inn. Staff of Aspects holidays very efficient and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Excellent location, fab interior

Jul 2019

We had a lovely stay in Shell cottage. Ideally located for the town, but not in the main flow of the busy streets. It is modern, decent size and very comfortable. We have booked again already. The only downside is the arrival / departure is difficult with the location and parking is also quite far away up hill.

Jun 2019

Just spent a great weekend in shell cottage Really great location in the centre of St Ives.

Mar 2019

We loved our stay at Shell Cottage. Although close to everything it was tucked away and felt private and very quiet, which is hard to find in such a great location in central St.Ives! We loved having breakfast on the sunny and sheltered terrace. A great little cottage, thank you.

Sep 2018

Shell Cottage was perfect for our family 2 adults and 2 children and our dog, It had everything that we needed for our holiday and a fantastic location.

Jul 2018

Lovely comfortable cottage in an excellent location. Well furnished and an impressive bathroom to boot! That impressed we have already booked to return next year.

Jul 2018

Perfect property located in a quaint courtyard right in the centre of St Ives, we will definitely be booking this one again, and the big bonus is it has its own private garage 5 minutes walk away.

Feb 2018

Shell Cottage enjoys the a near perfect location, close to shops and Porthmeor beach, yet tucked away from the main streets. It was very comfortable and we would not hesitate to go back, we loved it.

Oct 2017

Lovely little cottage in the middle of St Ives. Perfect for our mini-moon with the dog! Great location, brilliant for the dog, good size for 2 of us, everything we needed in the cottage for our stay! Had a brilliant time.
