Held on the anniversary of the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 AD, Feast Day offers visitors to witness - and even join in with - some centuries-old traditions. A morning precesison led by the Mayor to bless the Well of St Eia. Following this, the Mayor will 'Hurls the Silver Ball' into a crowd of children who assemble on the beach below. The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Mr Froggett June 2018
Bit further out of town but a nice walk or there is a regular bus service a few minutes away and worth it to have its own car parking space.
Mrs Bartlett June 2018
Delightful accommodation ideal for two and a great base for exploring this part of Cornwall
Mr Baker June 2018
Lovely Cottage and very spacious. Ideal for a family as the bathroom is in the downstairs bedroom. A 10 minute walk to the town/ beach / shops but quite a steep walk back (ideal to work off your cream tea !), bu that is the same of most places in St Ives.
The owner lives next door and is very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back to stay here again.
Miss Fisher March 2018
Really clean and comfortable property. Great location for being able to walk into St. Ives without being actually in the town where it is busy.
Mrs Webb September 2017
Charming cottage, very clean, comfortable and spacious. The visitor book tells the story, people keep going back and we will too. Couldn't think of anything negative to say. Its an excellent property.
Mrs Davison July 2017
A really peaceful, spacious and comfortable open plan holiday property.
Mr Tansley July 2017
We had a very enjoyable holiday in St Ives The location and the quality of the flat contributed to our enjoyment. The flat also benefits from excellent WiFi and onsite parking.
Mr Cahill May 2017
Nice and spacious open plan living/dining area, easy to find and the advantage of free parking.
Mrs Bartlett April 2017
Gillan cottage is a very spacious, clean n well equiped holiday home. Location is good but the walk too and from town is very steep. There is a bus route through out the day.

Thank you for your comments. We are glad to hear that you liked Gillan Cottage. 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 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 that is a short stroll from the property. Tanya, Customer Services.
Good location, easy to find and free car parking. Regular and inexpensive bus service into town only 5 minutes walk away if you don't fancy the walk up and down the hill.
Mrs Bartlett April 2016
Booking and payment process was straightforward. Pick up of keys couldn't have been simpler and quicker. Very friendly staff. Property exactly as described. Very well equipped and comfortable. It was great to have a parking space.
Mrs Hughes October 2015
Pleasant location and apartment with fantastic view.
Mr Pattison July 2015
Beautiful cottage and perfect location to walk into st Ives. This was our first family holiday and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Cottage was beautiful and clean with amazing sea views.
Miss Monks June 2015
Spacious and bright, off road parking, not far from town centre.
Mrs Bartlett May 2015
We had a delightful stay in a well situated, spacious, one-bedroom cottage. Great value. Easily accessible by road with parking. Highly recommended for couples staying in St. Ives.
Mr Green March 2015
A wonderful New Years stay at Gillan Cottage! Perfectly located at the top of the town, with great views out to sea.
Ms Shroder December 2014
Lovely cottage and location but not for those who don't like hills.

We are delighted to hear that you liked the property and where it is located. It is a bit of a steep walk up to the property from the town and beaches, though we like to think, (and it sounds like you agree) worth it when you get there! Tanya, Customer Services
