Excellent location, fab interior

June 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.

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.
