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.

Excellent location with superb views over St Ives harbour. Just a few seconds to the coastal path towards Carbis Bay and a few minutes to the middle of St Ives. The only slight negative is the need to park either at the nearby train station, if space is available, or Trenwith Car park, which is a few minutes walk away.

Pictures do not accurately represent the apartment. The apartment was disappointing and requires refurbishing and modernising.

Thank you for your comments. Since receiving your feedback, we have investigated this and contacted you, and are very sorry that it was not 100% for your arrival there. After our inspection, we listed all areas that needed addressing, and can confirm that the owner has attended to everything. With a further couple of visits since, we are happy that everything is now accuarately represented. Alot can happen in a short space of time in holiday let properties, in between our planned inspections, so thank you again for bringing this to our attention; so that we could investigate and ensure that everything was addressed.

Fantastic view, near the beach, but no parking spaces
Mr Storf Sep 2017
The view from this property is the wow factor
Mrs Hulstone Oct 2016
Views of the Bay & town to die for with excellent access to Porthminster Beach.
Remember to reverse down the road rather than go in forwards as turning is a challenge!
Certainly would stay there again.
