Great location. Parking can be tricky if you have a larger vehicle

We do apologise if you found the parking to be a little tricky, as we can appreciate that as the years go on, cars are getting bigger while the spaces remain the same size. It is for this reason that we try to be as transparent as we can regarding the undercover parking. The maximum vehicle size set by the management company is 2.1m wide x 4.5m long. There is also a height restriction of 1.8m. Hopefully you were able to take full advantage of the property's fantastic location and had a wonderful time in St Ives. Ben, Customer Services.

We are sorry that you found the parking space to be tight for your vehicle. We appreciate that cars are getting larger as years go on, while the space sizes remain the same. Because of this, we try to give as much detail as possible regarding the undercover parking. The maximum vehicle size set by the management company is 2.1m wide x 4.5m long. There is also a height restriction of 1.8m. Katy, Customer Services.

Thank you for your review, and we look forward to welcoming you back to 12 Carrack Widden next year! Thank you for your feedback regarding the shower in the property, this has been passed across to the owner for them to take into consideration for any future improvements. We are pleased you agree that the allocated parking space is a great plus to the property, too - especially in peak times when parking in St Ives is very popular! Katy, Customer Services.
Had a lovely time staying at 12 carrick widden, everything i needed was there. St ives never lets me down, it was nice to see santa arriving on the life boat. Lovely food in all the restaurants. Will definitely be back.
Mr Tetley Dec 2023
12 Carrack Widden is a very comfortable flat conveniently located on easily accessible road above the town with a great view overlooking Porthminster beach & station. The flat is very well equipped. A great location for easy strolls down to harbour, galleries & eating.
Mr Anderson Dec 2023
Accomodation & location were amazing, we would highly recommend this booking, and should we return to St Ives this would definitely be our first choice.
The booking was a smooth transaction with good communication - a fabulous all round stay for sure! : )
Mr Wood Oct 2023
12 Carrack Widden is a perfect spot for a couple. Easy to drive out of St Ives but also easy to walk to beaches, shops, lovely restaurants. Best of both worlds - home from home but great options to eat out! Would definitely return.
Mrs Elliott Jul 2023
Good comfortable apartment in a great location. The decor is a bit tired but everything works, and unlike many properties in St Ives there is parking on site. Good value for money.
Dr Brewer Jun 2023
This property is ideally situated close to St Ives town, also directly below apartment is beautiful Porthminster beach where you can get plenty of food and drinks. The apartment was very well furnished and kitchen well stocked. Added bonus car park underneath with numbered space.
Mrs Harris Jun 2023
A neat, well equipped property with very convenient, secure parking underneath apartment. (The allocated parking bay is quite tight to reverse into if all the spaces around are full.) A really good location providing easy walking into town, avoiding any need to drive into or around the busy, narrow streets. All the equipment and facilities were very clean, well presented and in very good condition.
Mr Anderson Jun 2023
A wonderful stay in a beautifully decorated apartment overlooking Porthminster Beach. Comfy bed, plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, towels provided and a wealth of information about the local area, books and games in the lounge. Within easy reach of the town, beaches and train station. Dedicated parking space. Close to the road but very efficient double glazing keeps out all noise. Would thoroughly recommend this beautiful place.
Miss Mackney May 2023
The apartment was exactly as we would expect from Aspects properties. Excellent in every way.
