Very clean and well equipped, excellent bathroom and ideal location for beaches. Its name 'The Burrow' suits as it is very small, especially when studio couch down, and would be more suited for single occupancy.

This is a fantastic place to stay in a great location - especially for dogs as it is close to the beach and island. Although it is only small, the property is very well equipped and has everything you need. The sofa bed is not the most comfortable however I think this is due to the mattress topper rather than the bed and therefore could be easily rectified. Overall very good stay here and would happily stay again.

Lovely trip to St Ives staying at the Burrow. Small apartment but perfect for me and my husband and dog. Great location near two lovely beaches and the town centre. Would book again.
Mrs Richardson Aug 2022
Lovely little property- ideal for one person, perfect location for all beaches. Very good value for money. Would have liked a little bit of outside space to sit & enjoy the evening sunshine- maybe a little bistro table with 2 chairs ?
