1 Sandows Lane is a charming and cosy cottage in a lovely secluded setting and is only a ten minute walk into St Ives town. It's attractively and comfortably furnished, so you can enjoy this hideaway throughout the seasons. Imagine sitting by the woodburner, drifting off and feeling a million miles away from anything remotely taxing - heaven! In the Summer months you are a fifteen minute walk away from some of the most beautiful golden beaches you will ever see. The cottage is pet-friendly and offers an outside courtyard area for you to enjoy a morning cuppa or to wind down after a busy day sight seeing.

sofa, accent chair, TV/DVD, stereo system, woodburner, table with seating for four, window seat.
range cooker, pantry under the stairs with washing machine and fridge, door to outside area.

Many of our larger town houses are situated just a couple of minutes’ walk from the centre and these offer ideal family accommodation, many with gardens, something of a rarity in St Ives. If all that shopping and socialising gets too much, you can always get away from it all and relax in the tranquil setting of Trewyn Gardens, a real little haven, tucked away in the heart of the town.
So, for self catering holidays in St Ives with everything on your doorstep, the town is the place to be.

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.

Lovely cosy cottage! We had a great time...
Only down side is bathroom/toilet down stairs so a few visits in the night.

Thanks for your feedback and we are glad to hear that you had such a great time. The layout may not work for everyone, with the bathroom downstairs and bedrooms upstairs, so we try to make this as clear as we can within the property description so that guests know what to expect. We hope that it was what you had imagined and that it suited all members of your party. Thanks again for the helpful comments and we hope to see you back soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Aspects were brilliant and would use them again.
Mrs Arthurs Nov 2019
Quiet location, cottage well equipped and a good base for St Ives and surrounding area.
Mr Hodges Sep 2019
Great little cottage within a 15 minutes walk of porthminster beach (our favourite) and yet again so easy to book with aspects holidays, would highly recommend booking with this company as we certainly will be doing again!
Mr Limbert Jul 2019
Excellent property, very clean, comfortable beds and all the equipment in good condition. Only downside for my visit was not being able to park outside the property and quite a climb up a hill from town which meant we did not go out into town in the evening.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 1 Sandows Lane. Unfortunately parking is in high demand within St Ives, with many properties (like 1 Sandows Lane) not having this facility, so it can mean a bit of a walk to a car park and a 10-15 minute walk into town or to the beaches, which is on a gradual incline on the way back to the property at the end of the day. We are glad that you agreed though, that this was well worth it for what 1 Sandows Lane offers. Tanya, Customer Services
A lovely stay at 1 Sandows Lane with my mum and 2 dogs. Very cosy and well equipped. Comfortable beds and a great location not to long walk from the beaches and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again!
Mrs Fraser Feb 2019
Very cosy, but wood not supplied!
Mrs Haslewood Nov 2018
Reply from Aspects Holidays
Thank you for your comments, and we are delighted to hear that you liked 1 Sandows Lane, and found it warm and cosy. We are very sorry to hear that you did not have a supply of wood to start off your holiday there. The owner usually supplies some bits to get you started, which were obviously overlooked on this occasion. Had we been aware, we would have happily organised some straight away for you; we are very sorry that we did not have this opportunity. We hope that you managed to find some quickly enough so that you could enjoy the wood burner, and hope that you had a fantastic time here in St Ives. Tanya, Customer Services
Very cosy feel to the cottage, lovely quiet location, would certainly book again.
Mrs Wright Oct 2018
Lovely cottage for a couple of two dogs. Location fantastic to St Ives Town.
Mr Wheatcroft Sep 2018
Lovely accommodation, super location. Would consider booking this property again. Thank you Aspect Holidays
Miss Evans Aug 2018
Arrived for a week's stay with my mum, and we were delighted to find the cottage even better than expected from the photos. It's small, but beautifully formed, with an ingenious use of space, making it perfect for us, or a couple/small family.
The decor is lovely, with art work scattered throughout, giving it that personal touch. The kitchen is really well equipped, even though we attempted nothing more ambitious than breakfast! It's a bit of a hike up a pretty steep hill, but nothing unmanageable (and a good chance to walk off those pasties).
All in all, it suited our needs perfectly, and we'd be delighted to go back.
Miss Balmond May 2018
Delightful cosy cottage very well equipped good location for beaches & town centre looking forward to returning
Mrs Brown Apr 2018
A lovely cottage set up well for our holiday.
Dr Browne Nov 2017
Sandows Lane.... an absolute gem. It suits us perfectly!! As soon as you walk in it feels like you belong there! Our second stay and there will be many more!
Mrs Owen Oct 2017
Perfect bolt hole for a family of 4 with a dog/s to stay and explore St Ives. The cottage has a contemporary interior design with a lovely homely feel.
Mrs Green Sep 2017
Such a beautiful, quaint cottage in an ideal location for St Ives. Would definitely stay here again :-)
Miss Chambers Apr 2017
The property was fantastic and having visited St Ives for almost 30 years it is up there with the best. Use of space is outstanding and it didnt feel lile a small cottage. Very clean and well kept. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need.
Mrs Briggs Dec 2016
Great cottage with all the facilities. Quiet spot off the main road and very handy for walking into town or travelling around the region.
