A wonderful stay for our little one’s first holiday (3 months old)! Great location for popping in and out; ideal with a baby and enough space for her cot next to the bed! Cosy accommodation which felt luxurious too and fab facilities for cooking .. and a washer dryer which was super handy! We will definitely recommend to others!

Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Perfect retreat to come back to after lots of walking and close enough to all the beaches to pop back and make a picnic lunch to take back to the beach !
Mrs Gilmore May 2019
Enjoyed a fabulous week's stay at 'The Lugger!' Enjoyed being so close to Porthgwidden beach, our dog loved his early morning and evening walks to see the seals! The parking permit included is a real plus point. We found the cottage a quiet, cosy bolthole, well designed and with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We'd swap the armchairs for a comfy sofa though! Thank you to Aspects for another fab holiday!
Mrs Williamson Mar 2019

You gave us out of date parking permit... it expired on 31st March, we only noticed it on the last day.
Ms Kelly Apr 2018
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are sorry if this caused any concern. Unfortunately the council had a huge backlog, so hadn't sent out new parking permits before these ones were due to expire. They had confirmed that these would still be valid until the new ones arrived. We had tried to warn any guest that would be affected by this, so we are very sorry if you had not got this message. We hope that you enjoyed your stay at The Lugger. Tanya, Customer services
Will recommend The Lugger and will revisit ourselves soon..
Mr Nock Jan 2018
Great cottage for couples taking a short break.
Ms Edwards Oct 2017
Excellent small cottage, perfect for 2. Very comfortable with everything you could need in the kitchen and a lovely bathroom and superb shower. Allocated parking space was a 5 minute walk away a real bonus in St Ives.
Mr Merrick Oct 2017
Lovely place to stay, modern and cosy. The bed was so comfortable and the best I’ve ever slept in. However, this place needs a sofa instead of the armchairs for when you want a night in.
Mrs Roper Oct 2017
Beautifully equipped and the welcome gifts and flowers were a very nice touch. In a really convenient location which means you can enjoy St Ives and all its amenities without needing to use a car at all.
Mrs Bowen Oct 2017
