Great apartment overlooking Porthminster beach.... My dream view.... Great for 2 people.... Would book again!
Mrs Leese Oct 2021
34 Carrick Widden. Ideal flat for two people, very clean, in perfect location with stunning views over the beach and beyond. A little bit of a steep walk down to the town but easily managed for the reasonably fit!! Underground car park is extremely tight and would be difficult to manoeuvre anything bigger than an average saloon type family car. Highly recommended property and would definitely stay again when next visiting St Ives.
Mr Banister Aug 2021
Our stay at 34 Carrack Widden apartment was absolutely wonderful! Small and cosy but well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week by the sea in St Ives. Very clean and tidy but with nice homely touches. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return, and recommend the property to our friends.
Miss White Aug 2021

Mr Race Sep 2019
Cracking apartment everything you need is there very clean and very comfy. Great location and stunning views. Only downside was if you park in your parking space in the underground be ready to climb a few flights of stairs..10/10 for the apartment though..
Mr Gilbert Sep 2018

Mr Ranby Aug 2018
The apartment overlooks Porthminster beach, beautiful view. Clean comfortable with secure parking. Five minutes walk into main part of St. Ives.
Mrs Washer Jul 2018
Not for anyone who has trouble walking or steps. 2 steep hills & 103 steps from town. We were fine with this but others may struggle

We are glad to hear that you liked 34 Carrack Widden, and thank you for your comments. Being in such a fantastic location, perched above Porthminster Beach, enjoying those lovely views, whilst not too far from the town and beaches, does involve a bit of a climb if you are on foot, via steps or paths that may be steep for some. Please do contact us before booking, if this is a concern, so that we can advise. Tanya, Customer Services
Really impressed with the friendly staff. The flat was spacious and well equipped. I would give the flat we stayed in and the company 10/10. I will be visiting again. Thank you Aspect for a wonderful holiday.
Mr Russell Oct 2016

34 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat with fantastic views over Porthminster Beach. It is always well presented and as I said earlier has this year been re-decorated and looks great.
