This is a one-bedroom apartment with a great view of the bay from the living room window. However the furnishings and equipment are very old and tired. We would not return to this apartment.

Thank you for your helpful comments and we are sorry to hear that this is not somewhere that you would return to. Following receiving your comments, we have now been in to inspect the property and report our findings to the property owners, who have already confirmed that they are replacing several items and will be visiting themselves soon, to check on the rest of the feedback. Tanya, Customer Services
A well located, comfortable and compact apartment that has everything you need. It takes about 10 minutes to walk down to Porthminster beach and about 20 minutes to walk to the St. Ives harbour area. Although the apartment is in a great position and has a lovely view it is a very steep walk back from the beach or town and there are 3 flights of stairs to climb from the front gate so it kept us very fit! The car parking space is very handy but quite small and is very difficult to negotiate with a larger car.

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, St Ives isn't the flattest of places, with many properties sitting perched above the town. 17 Lyonesse takes full advantage of its position above the town to gain a lovely sea view, but you do have a bit of steep walk up to the property from the town and beaches as a result. There are just 12 steps up to the property from the parking at the back, but as you mention, if you are coming in from the front gate, you do have more steps before getting to these. It is certainly something to consider before booking but we are glad that you agree that once inside, it is worth it. Thank you also for your comments about the parking space; we have now amended the information to advertise it as being suitable for small to medium size cars only. Tanya, Customer Services.
Lovely apartment for 2 people, parking is difficult and gorgeous view well worth money when it’s only few minutes walk to st ives town! Definitely will come back in the future!
Mrs Mills Jul 2019
An excellent location, parking onsite which is important in St Ives. Excellent, Thank you.
Mr Jones Jun 2019
Suitable for our stay in St Ives. Well equipped and having allocated parking space meant we could go out during the day with piece of mind that we had somewhere to park the car when we got back.
Mrs Shepherd Jun 2018
