Mrs Cartwright Sep 2020
Loved this place. Absolutely fabulous view and location. So clean, comfortable with modern decor. Highly recommended
Mrs Beddoes Aug 2020
We had a very enjoyable family holiday staying at Porthia View. The apartment has been freshly painted and carpeted for 2020. It’s very clean, with good quality fixtures, fittings and appliances. The highlights include the outside terrace area with spectacular view of St Ives, and the car parking. Parking in St Ives is difficult, and a lot of accommodation provides very tight spaces. You have a shared driveway at Porthia View which gave us great space for our large 4x4.
Mrs Lewis Aug 2020
We absolutely loved staying at Porthia View it’s a beautiful apartment with a spectacular view. We would definitely stay here again.
Mrs Richardson Jul 2020
Just had a lovely week at Porthia View. Clean and comfortable and well equipped. Lovely view from the sitting room, parking (which is a bonus), not too far from the town centre. The only thing I would mention is that if a family were staying in the apartment above it might be a bit noisy. We were lucky there was just a couple staying when we were there. Apart from that I would definitely recommend the property. Vanessa and Ian
Mrs Whyte Oct 2019
first time staying at porthia view and very pleased with accommodation and especially the view of stives harbour! would stay again!
Ms Shackleton Sep 2019
Very basic apartment, although fittings in kitchen & bathrooms are good & basic cleaning was done, there was thick dust behind beds and on skirting boards. Bedroom carpets had stains on, outside area in need of improvement and some weeding, when sat the view is obscured by a fence. Not what I’d expect for the price, disappointing.

A great location with a great view. Very comfortable for a family of 4.
Mr Holmes Jun 2019
This was our first visit to St. Ives and what better place to stay than Porthia View for spectacular views of the harbour and Porthminster beach. Spent many hours during the day and night gazing out to sea! Added bonus of outside space too.
Mrs Keller Sep 2018
What a perfect view we had of St.Ives from Porthia View! It was a lovely apartment and a great location with parking for the week. Just a short walk from the apartment down Primrose Hill passing exotic plants and trees and you're on Caribbean like sand at Porthminster Beach in less than 5 mins. Also just 2 minutes drive to a large hidden away Tesco to stock up the well equipped kitchen for some self-catering. (Although there are so many places to eat out in St.Ives - even just on Porthminster beach there is a proper restaurant and a couple of burger/pasty/cider bars!). Would highly recommend this apartment and location. Just as the photos portray on the website.
