We had a wonderful week at St Ives the apartment at 44 Carrack Widden was perfectly situated the views were spectacular the apartment was spotless a real little gem would love to go back
Mr Price Aug 2020
We had a 1 week stay at the beginning of August and we absolutely loved it! The property itself more than exceeded expectations and I mean no offense whatsoever when I say this but, the pictures simply do not do it justice. The view from the window is amazing which opens up and being a large window, this allows for a bright and airy flat which was really pleasing throughout our stay. Even though items had been removed (due to COVID) from the flat, we still managed to find useful games to take to the beach in the cupboard. The location was great to town and it only takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, the way back kills you a bit with it's hills but worry about that later, it still burns off the dinner you had out! :)
Speaking of which, there are some fantastic restaurants within close proximity to the property which we took full advantage of. I thought it was a bit weird reading reviews of people saying they wanted to go back every year but I might just have to become one of those weirdos now!
Mr Vaughan Aug 2020

Mr Watts Aug 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 44 Carrack Widden. The apartment was in a great location for town & beach, very well equipped, great views across Porthminster Beach.
Ms Bignall Jul 2019
44 Carrack Widden is a flat in a good location with provision of a parking space (a rarity in St. Ives!). It enjoys fabulous views out over Porthminster Beach to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse which really can't be beaten. It is a short walk down to Porthminster Beach and a little further to the town beach, Porthmeor (Surfing) Beach and the Tate Gallery. Everywhere is within walking distance and this makes it an excellent choice for a really relaxing break. The town is full of lovely shops and galleries to browse around and there is a good choice of places to eat. We have been coming here regularly for some 40 years now so it can't be bad!
Mrs Belfield May 2019
This is a lovely modern apartment with an excellent view over looking Porthminster Beach with the added bonus of having its own parking space we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definately stay here again in the future.
