Cherry cottage is superbly located for Porthmeor Beach, 110 steps away!! Cherry Cottage was lovely and clean, beds and bedding lovely and comfortable, and the kitchen is really well equipped. The cottage is really well located, only issue is parking, but think that is a general issue around St Ives, so not solely related to this cottage. We absolutely loved out stay at Cherry Cottage and hope to come back soon.

All I can say a lovely little cottage a fantastic location just 50 meters from the surf beach. You can walk with ease to great restaurants and local pubs in St Ives no need to use the car. Check out the seals in the sheltered St ives bays in the evenings. Aspects holidays very helpful professional and easy to talk with - perfect

We are so sorry to hear that there had been issues with the wifi during your stay. Had we been aware, we would have tried to do everything that we could to help with this, so we hope that it wasn't too much of an issue for you. We have since been working with the owners to get this resolved with their wifi provider and BT, so there is now working wifi again. Unfortunately, many areas of St Ives have very poor phone signal and if you are staying in a traditional granite-built property, the signal can often be very poor inside as well. If this is an important consideration, it may be worth giving us a call when you are looking to book in future, so that we can advise, where possible, if there are any known issues with signal at the property that you are interested in. We are glad that you otherwise enjoyed the property and sorry again for this issue. Tanya, Customer Services

A lovely small cottage, clean and well equiped and situated in a good location close to the beach and town centre.
Mrs Riddle Sep 2019
A small, but perfectly located house with all the amenities you need for a visit to beautiful St Ives. Just a minute from the beach and very close to the Tate and shops.
Ms Fitzpatrick Jul 2019
Lovely week in cherry cottage, so close to Porthmeor beach, couldn’t get much closer. Cottage has everything you could possibly need the large fridge/freezer is a bonus and a lovely comfy bed. Would definitely stay there again. The welcome pack was such a nice touch

Lovely cosy little cottage, so close to the main hustle & bustle of St Ives, perfect little bolt hole, only thing missing is an outside seating area but it’s not possible due to the location, would definitely book again.

Thank you for your review; great to hear how much you enjoyed it there. We are glad that you liked its fantastic, convenient location, in easy walking distance to all that St Ives has to offer; and with Porthmeor Beach quite literally around the corner, we hope that an outside seating area at the property wasn't missed too much. We hope to see you back here soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Cherry cottage is the best Aspects cottage we’ve stayed in! It was brilliant for access to beach and town and had everything we needed, without excess clutter.
Mrs Woods Apr 2018
Just returned from a week in Cherry Cottage. It met our expectations and after a day spent outdoors it was lovely to go back to a cosy and comfortable cottage .
Miss Waters Oct 2017
Cherry cottage is a quaint, lovely little cottage and is well situated. Bedrooms bit small. There was shortage of space for putting clothes. Beautiful place but parking atrocious as you have to try to get in one of the car parks.

It's great to hear how much you enjoyed Cherry Cottage. Thanks for your thoughts on the storage; the owners have tried to make the most of the available space, and provide as much storage as they can, but we appreciate that this may not work for everyone. Parking is unfortunately at a premium in St Ives; with many properties not having this facility. For those without this facility; it is always worth looking into parking options beforehand on the local council website and looking into private parking availability, particularly for peak weeks. There is also a park and ride facility which some find useful. Please feel free to contact the team for any advice. Thanks for your comments, and we hope to see you back here soon.

Really lovely stay here. Great location and really appreciated having a stairgate for our great stay with our little girl.
