Avocet is a high specification, first floor luxury apartment and is situated in the desirable Belyars area of St Ives, which is within walking distance of the stunning beaches, shops and restaurants in the town. You also have the added bonus of your own private parking space. Once you've strolled into town, you can choose to hire a deck chair, sit back and take in the surroundings of the bustling harbour, or explore the cobbled streets and array of fisherman's cottages. However you choose to spend your hours, you won't be disappointed to return to the beautiful Avocet, where you can relax on the balcony looking out at the stunning coastal views and plan the next day's adventures.
On those cloudy days, or even when the sun is shining, take full advantage of the membership for two at the Harbour Hotel and Spa, where you have access to the facilities including an indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, fully equipped gymnasium, plus indoor and outdoor relaxation terraces/gardens. You will also have the benefit at certain times of 20% off food and drink in the restaurant, lounge and bars at the hotel and 20% off any spa treatments and overnight stay (subject to availability). Avocet offers gorgeous décor, clean open plan living area with floor to ceiling windows and doors, allowing light to flood in and lovely sea views. You also benefit from a lift leading to the apartment, great for those with limited mobility and a private balcony where you can enjoy your favourite tipple or dine alfresco. It's perfect for small families or couples alike and we are sure that you will want to return to this remarkable apartment, especially when you will be greeted each time with a bottle of chilled prosecco and Cornish biscuits to get your holiday under way.

We had the most amazing stay and 9 Cordyline Croft. Perfect for everything we needed & more. With lots of extra precaution in place for COVID but still making us feel comfortable and safe. Thankyou so much for organising a special cake for my husbands big birthday. We loved it so much we’ve already booked for the same week next year. See you next year

A beautiful and spacious apartment, with all the equipment you need and more! We enjoyed the sea views whilst eating our breakfast on the balcony. Really nicely decorated and 10/10 for comfort. The walk from the town to the apartment is quite steep but we got used to it after a couple of days. Nice quiet location but only 10 minutes from the town so it’s perfect really! Couldn’t fault it, would definitely stay here again!

Excellent, secure apartment in a quiet part of St Ives. Very comfortable and equipped to a high level. We very much enjoyed our stay. The walk back to the apartment from the town did however become a real chore. There were 2 routes back from the town. One route involved 110 steps and the other a long steep incline.

Reply from Aspects Holidays
Thank you for your comments. We are glad to hear that you liked Avocet. Sitting above the town, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to walk in; it does involve an uphill walk back to the property after a day at one of the stunning beaches of St Ives. The walk may not be suitable for everyone, but we hope that you agreed that it was worth it for such a lovely property, and for those that are not so keen on the walk, there is a bus service that runs most of the year from the leisure centre, which is a short stroll from the property. Tanya, Customer Services
The apartment was lovely and spacious, with better sea views than we were expecting. It was great to have a balcony and it was in a very quiet location with absolutely no noise at all from neighbours. The apartment was very well laid out, was bright and had a good feel about it.
I have already recommended Aspects Holidays to friends.
Mrs Rintoul Jul 2020
Extremely comfortable, stylishly decorated property. Very convenient location being within walking distance of town, sports centre, restaurants and routes out of town. Sea view.
Mrs Mitchell Feb 2020
9 cordyline croft is a very comfortable and well equipped property in a quieter location in st Ives. Parking useful and we enjoyed the access to the harbour hotel facilities
Mrs Hodkin Sep 2019
An excellent well equipped property with allocated parking. We found it nice & quiet. A good 10-13 minute walk to Porthmeor, (our favoured beach) which was fine. The walk back up steep but good exercise so didn’t mind & knew this before booking. Would recommend.
Mr Beer Aug 2019
Beautiful apartment that is decorated and furnished to a five star standard. Aspects offer a very friendly and helpful service.We would definitely recommend.
Mrs O`Halloran Jul 2019
A lovely high specification of apartment. Great to get the use of nearby hotel spa facility. Lots of lovely resteraunts and cafes near by as well as great beaches. St Ives centre is about a 10 minute walk and very easy on the way down but is quite steep getting back up! Nice quiet area and great area for getting around Cornwall from and returning back to a great base. We all enjoyed!
Mr Cotton Apr 2019
Beautiful apartment with lovely views. The location was fine for us but there are a lot of stairs/hills to climb from St Ives. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you’ll need. So comfortable, we can’t wait to stay again.
Mrs Wright Sep 2018
Great, very well presented and equipped apartment. Felt like home away from home.
Mr Dale Jul 2018
A fabulous very well equipped apartment with sea views to the front and side. A short walk or bus ride will take you into the centre of St Ives and all of the amenities that they have to offer. With freeview television and wifi you can keep in touch with the world or totally relax on the balcony perusing the tourist information and planning what to do with you time. If the weather is not good there are board games and books for you to play and read and if you do venture on a rainy days there are umbrellas in the hall to keep you dry.
Mrs Beniston Sep 2017
A lovely apartment within walking distance of town. Had everything we needed.
Mr Kerr Sep 2017
