We have just stayed at Porth House for a week and were really lucky with the weather so spent a good amount of time on the terrace. The views are amazing and we even saw dolphins! The open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area are the real features of this property, ideal for enjoying the views and natural light. Walking into St Ives takes about 20 minutes and we discovered a lower path which cuts out part of the steep top path. A really enjoyable and memorable holiday - I’m sure we’ll be back!

Porth House is definitely one of the best properties we have stayed in. Absolutely beautiful location with amazing views. We would definitely recommend and would love to revisit as soon as we possibly can. Because it was too chilly to use the outside seating areas would love to go back in the warmer weather.

Perfect private idyllic house providing you enjoy your walk like ourselves superb !!

Porth house is a beautiful, warm, tastefully decorated holiday house. It’s about 25 mins walk into town - fairly steep as you’d expect in the area. The sea views are just beautiful from the house and there are two outside seating areas. I would definitely recommend ans would go back. We stayed for 5 nights over the new year period. I can imagine how amazing it would be to stay on summer too.

Well equipped, beautiful location, pleasant decor, an old favourite of ours. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Comfortable, spacious and convenient with spectacular views and easy walks into St Ives - highly recommended. Steep access is a problem for anyone with mobility issues and heavy luggage but that did not put a damper on a wonderful holiday in a fascinating part of the country.

Superb location with the added benefit of having a parking space and garage. We will hopefully return!

Had a lovely holiday, lovely house lots of space and a short walk into St Ives. Very quiet location would stay there again. We saw seals in the sea and even a fox in the garden.

Really lovely views from a spacious property with excellent balcony, which is in a great location for both St. Ives and Carbis Bay. The walk to St. Ives is very steep with a path that drops into Porthminster Beach whilst the walk to Carbis Bay is again steep, over a railway bridge and down steep steps. Access to both would be extremely difficult if you have any mobility issues. Timewise, it's approximately 15 minutes to Porthminster Beach, 25 minutes to St. Ives, 40 minutes to St. Ives lighthouse and 25-30 minutes to Carbis Bay beach. There are more amenities at Porthminster Beach. Handy to have parking, although we only just managed to fit in our 4x4 and were lucky there were only two other cars on the forecourt as otherwise we never would have got in! Welcome pack on arrival with tea and biscuits, with washing up liquid, brush and bin bags also provided along with shower gel and plenty of towels. Some of the photographs on the website were not up to date. The upper patio especially needs some TLC and, in the lower patio, the BBQ has seen better days. Bed in main bedroom could do with a better mattress, but if you like a really firm mattress then this would be great for you. Lots of storage space and a range of DVDs with great WiFi throughout. Superb shower! Porth House sits very close to the St. Ives branch line and, whilst other reviews have said you can't hear anything, trains are quite audible between 7am and 11pm even with doors and windows closed. I would stay here again as it is a lovely property offering great views over St. Ives Bay in a seduced area.

Just what my family and I needed. We had a tough couple of years with my wife having a major operation and my son not being well. This was a perfect holiday and one we will never forget.

Porth house is in a beautiful position overlooking the bay we could not fault it's position, we would gladly stay there again.

The house is perfectly situated so that you are a 10-15 min walk to St Ives and the opposite direction to Carbis bay. It’s a quiet place to be ideal to relax and recharge especially it you have had a day in St Ives which was very busy with traffic and people. It’s a bit strange being in a house with the sleeping and bathroom downstairs but you get the amazing views from upstairs and a balcony to enjoy it from Perfect place to stay would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family ??

Just spent a week at Porth House and it was a really lovely stay. Beds very comfortable with good quality linen. Everything very clean on arrival. Sofa was also very comfortable too. Sitting on the first floor patio first thing in the morning, in the sun, with a cuppa, was perfect. There was no noise from anything along the road with the small branch line train not causing any disturbance.

It is about a 10 min walk to St Ives with a short and very steep bit along the way. Anyone with mobility issues would struggle, I think. Carbis Bay is about 15 mins away and again a bit steep in parts.

The views from the house and to and from St Ives or Carbis are stunning!!

I would recommend having a holiday in the area and staying at Porth House.

Porth House is a great holiday rental property with fabulous views. Short walks into both St Ives centre and Carbis Bay but steep inclines to be encountered both directions. Would certainly recommend this property and Aspects Holidays.

We loved staying at Porth House, had such a lovely stay & enjoyed the absolutely stunning views! So nice to have the little welcome touches too, the location is ideal to get to the beautiful beach of Porthminster, and Carbis Bay in easy walking distance too (though a little trickier with a buggy). The house itself is beautiful, clean and comfortable with lovely seating areas to sit and have a glass of wine while taking in the lovely sea view. (Also very happy it was child friendly with stair gate & high chair etc) We loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to friends.

Lovely property with great views and a lovely 15 minute walk into St. Ives. Clean, welcoming and parking for 2 cars is always welcome on a trip to St. Ives.

We had a great week at Porth House - the view is outstanding and watching the little train go by is very quaint. The walk down to St Ives is very easy although the walk back up is more challenging. Porth House is in a very peaceful location.

Great, quiet location - away from the bustle, but still within easy 10-15 mins walking distance of St Ives. Also very handy for Carbis Bay beach (15 mins walk). Balcony has great views over St Ives Bay, frequent dolphin pod sightings. The front patio area is great for barbecues. The rear elevated decking platform also gives good views over the bay. Really enjoyed our 2 week stay at Porth House.

Porth House is spacious, comfortable and contemporary. Best of all though is it’s wonderful location. We loved the various outside seating areas with fantastic coastal views. We appreciated being slightly away from the crowds in St Ives and yet Porth House is only a scenic 5-10 minute stroll to the beautiful Porthminster beach. We felt very lucky to get our last minute reservation.

Great company to deal with. Friendly, patient and happy.

We had a lovely week in St Ives in a house with stunning views, comfortable furnishings and tasteful decor. Slightly steep walk into town/beach but this made it nice and quiet for enjoying the balcony and watching the wildlife in peace. Would recommend St Ives and Porth House to anyone who doesn;t mind climbing a few steps.

The house is beautiful. The views, amazing. Having the living area upstairs really makes the most of the amazing view. It is really spacious and yet cosy and comfortable. The steps up to the house were only an issue on arrival, carrying suitcases up, but other than that, not a problem. The beach is lovely and around a 10 minute walk. Having a parking space and also a garage is a real benefit. The perfect place to store body boards, wet suits etc. Collection of keys is really easy, the office is a short drive from the house with plenty of parking. We would definitely recommend.

Porth House is a beautifully decorated house in a fantastic secluded location! The views from the living area and glass balcony are fabulous. If you like walking, the coastal path gives convenient access to St Ives and Carbis Bay so you can enjoy a holiday without needing to drive anywhere! We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at Porth House.

Excellent accommodation. Better than we hoped for. Views to die for.

Porth House is a spacious property with stunning views regardless of the weather. Ideal, quiet location (the trains are no problem at all) within easy reach of St Ives and Carbis Bay. Read on the terrace or walk the South West Coast Path: Porth House is the perfect base whether you want activities or simply the space to relax and unwind.

Fabulous!

Location was perfect. The balcony a great asset to enjoy the great views. Having the garage parking space is another big bonus and one of the reasons I’d consider booking Porth House again. Although there are quite a few steps from the access road up to the property, this was only a small issue when we arrived in terms of carrying our luggage up to the house. The access road is very quiet and it wouldn’t be a problem to leave the car at the base of the steps to unload the cases etc. For the rest of our stay we didn’t really notice them. The lounge and kitchen area is spacious and bright and the bedrooms are comfortable and clean. Having two bathroom/toilets was a very useful addition. I’d be happy to book Porth House again.

porth house is a very nice house, it has everything you need for a holiday, the views from the balcony are excellent. very comfortable seating in the lounge and a large tv. beds are a little small for someone that is 6ft like myself. all in all a very nice stay. please be aware that when we stayed at christmas it was very quiet, they are building a new house or flats very close by, so being in the building game i think the next 4 or 5 month's will be a little noisy when sitting on the balcony.

Porth House exceeded all expectations! Amazing views across the bay which constantly changed colour according to the weather, the clouds and the time of day. We felt like the Railway Children frantically waving from the balcony to the GWR train trundling past. From the balcony we spotted fishing boats early in the morning reeling in their nets and then heading off to the harbour. At night the lights of Carbis Bay twinkled in the distance making the whole experience magical. Our short stay, even in November, was truely breathtaking. We would highly recommend this property to everyone.

The balcony at Porth House provides the perfect spot for watching the sunrise and counting the stars...even spotting the occasional dolphin if you are lucky.

Stunning views from lounge/balcony. Beautifully presented and well equipped 3 bedroomed, two bath/shower roomed property. Three outdoor eating places. 10-15 minutes walk to fabulous beaches. Quiet location with just the local train rattling by from time to time. Opportunity to burn off those cream tea calories with a step aerobic session to your front door. The climb gets easier through the week but it's best to avoid carrying heavy items.

Porth House makes you feel like a millionaire, the views are spectacular, the house is very comfortable and well furnished. The garage parking is a bonus and the use of beach equipment was a welcome find. St ives and the beach is accessible on foot, but be warned the hills are very steep. There are 40 steps up to the property, so only suitable for able bodied people.

Fantastic spacious, clean and modern property. Amazing view, well worth the climb from Porthminster

Fantastic views over to Gwithian and Godrevy and even had dolphins leading paddleboarders out to sea,Fabulous!

Is better than its photos - wonderful location with amazing views. Plenty of room for everyone to have a quiet space or all get together. Loved it

A fantastic week in St Ives helped by some good weather! Lovely accommodation in a lovely location, couldn't have been better.

Beautiful balcony views over Carbis Bay. Lots of outside sitting areas to enjoy the views.

Fantastic sea views.

Lovely location . Parking , spacious , peaceful , lovely balcony to relax have meals and drinks , sunbathe while taking in the beautiful views over sea . Delightful

This is a spacious property which offers the best of both in terms of access to St Ives and coastal walks. The views are stunning. Breakfast on the balcony is a real highlight.

Lovely property - clean quiet - good value

A well equipped, modern house with great sea views. We enjoyed the stay.

We had a wonderful few days at Porth House. Incredible views and a beautiful and spotlessly clean house.

Porth House offers everything it says "on the tin". Fantastic view, easy walking access to St.Ives (only a slight little climb). Well equipped and a very comfortable home - definitely would like to return to Porth House

Very nice house with wonderful views, the owners seem to have thought of everything.
