An absolutely beautiful house. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Easy location and parking. We loved our stay. Would stay there forever if we could!
Mrs Dawsey Aug 2024
A excellent 4 bedroom property met all our needs
Mr Gale Oct 2023
Stayed at Albany View with children and grandchildren, ideal property for Porthminster beach holiday with good parking for two large vehicles.
Mr Howe Aug 2023
We loved our stay at Albany View, the property is a lot bigger than it looks in the photos . It's only a short walk to the beach or down into the town and it was nice to sit and look at the view from the lounge window away from the crowds. We liked that the owners are child friendly, with a travel cot and highchair provided as well as a good supply of games and puzzles to do . We would definitely return and would highly recommend to others.
Mrs Johnson Apr 2023
Excellent large accommodation with 2 parking spaces,great views from the lounge,one of aspects best properties
Mr Gale Oct 2022
Poor value for money; not the usual specification standards that we are used to with Aspect accommodation, would not recommend this property.

Thank you for your feedback. We aim to offer a wide range of properties that we hope will meet the different budgets, differing requirements and individual tastes and try to show the style of décor and furnishings as best as possible so that guests can make an informed choice on whether this property will suit their parties needs and tastes. The owners have always kept this property well maintained and we try to show the style of decor as best as possible in the website photos, so we are sorry to hear that you had been disappointed with your chosen property on this occasion. However, we always pass on all feedback to owners, so they consider any suggestions for future changes, and we will of course continue to monitor any further feedback. Tanya, Customer Services
Great holiday home - exactly as described on the Aspects website.
Mr Howe Aug 2022
It’s a bit difficult to find the access by car and the property would not be well situated for people wanting to go into St Ives as it’s at the top of a steep hill and St Ives town is at the bottom of the hill. OK if you’re fit.
Mrs Ogilvie Jun 2022
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are sorry if the parking access and the walk down into the town was not what was expected. We have tried to ensure that the directions to the parking and the property are clear as possible, but we regularly review all directions to properties to ensure that they are always up to date and easy to follow. We have since added What3Words to assist with this. Albany View is in an ideal location for Porthminster Beach, and although the walk to and from the property (5 minutes to the beach, a little more on the way back) may not suit everyone, this location means that you escape the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of the town and benefit from parking for 2 vehicles, which is quite a rarity in St Ives. If you are looking to return, please do not hesitate to contact the team for any advice. Tanya, Customer Services
Beautiful 4 bedroom house, there was 6 adults, A 3 year old and a baby, child friendly, toys and games and also a safety gate, the garden is not connected to the house you have to go up 8 steps, would definitely stay there again, the price was reasonable.
Mrs Pritchard Jun 2022
fantastic property in a great location with lovely views. so easy to walk to the beach and into St Ives. would definitely come back. looked to re-book but unfortunately didn't have the dates we wanted.
Mr Taylor May 2022
Would certainly recommend Albany View for young families. Very well equipped, comfortable and modern furnishings, and a lovely view. A little further walk to the beach if you have a pram otherwise the long stairs halve the journey time. Crossing the road from the property was difficult but doable with a toddler and pram. The garden is separated from the house by a private walkway. Overall, very pleased with both property and service and will look to book again in the future.
Mr Holliday Apr 2022
We loved Albany View and would definitely book again for a group of 6 adults, the bunk bed room would only be suitable for young children. The views from the living room are wonderful, actually better than in the photos! The property is in a quiet location, easy to be in, very close to town and the harbour. Decent parking for two cars and all in all a lovely place to spend a week.
Mrs Cernis Oct 2021
Albany View lived up to expectations to the extent that we have already reserved for 2022. Excellent!
Mr Baylis Oct 2021
Perfect location and physically a dream property to hire, if there is a better property than this available to hire in St Ives then you'd have to show me before I would believe you.
Mr Holmes Sep 2021
Nice place for a family holiday. Great view, close to the beach, and close to town. Decent parking spaces and more roomy inside than it looks on the photos. Ideal for six adults and two kids. Be aware that Albany Terrace is largely residential and it's important to be mindful of those who live next to holiday lets.
Mr Meredith Aug 2021
Highly recommend a stay in this beautiful property. Spacious, well maintained and homely. Fantastic location with magnificent views!
Mrs Brady Aug 2021
Brilliant spacious property, close to Porthminster Beach and a lovely short walk into town. Would definitely stay again!
Dr Cruice Jul 2021
A wonderful property. Short walk to Porthminster beach and into town. Exceeded expectations, much larger and more modern than the photos suggest. Great sea view as well.
