Mrs Do Nascimento Nov 2020
Absolutely amazing views from the front windows.....so relaxing to sit and watch the ever changing sea. The accommodation excellent perfect for a family. Lovely big tiled entrance to an amazing kitchen easy to take off sandy shoes and coats before venturing to the living room. Parking space great. Short stroll to Porthminster beach. We had a very relaxing week definitely recharged our batteries.
Mrs Hanson Oct 2020
A well situated Cottage with excellent views over St Ives beaches and bay. It was well equipped, clean, warm and cosy. Lots to do within a very short distance. We will definitely book again.
Mrs Loades Oct 2020
The house was amazing and exactly the same as in the pictures online. The views were truly breathtaking. Sea views from all three floors. The house was furnished beautifully. The owners had supplied towels, tea towels, dishwasher tablets, washing tablets, wipes, kitchen roll and some toilet roll. I would recommend this property without a doubt. There was a second toilet which we didn’t know about which was good as there were 5 of us staying. There was a washIng machine and dishwasher too. Eating out was difficult due to restrictions. You did have to book in places beforehand.

Excellent views of the surrounding area, ideal layout & flooring to ensure sand & beach mess are minimised to one area close to the entrance rather than carrying through the whole house - important with small children!
