We’ve stayed in St Ives a number of times and this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in.
This was a lovely place, decor nice, good quality fixtures and fittings yet comfy and homely. Very well equipped with games and soft furnishings.
The location is great and whilst there was a bit of noise from late night revellers at times, it was worth it to be so close to everything.
The views from the window seats were a really nice way to spend time and we even saw a rainbow!

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.

Great spot right on Fore Street so can be a bit noisy in the night but worth it for views and location.
Our second stay here and would do so again.

Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are glad that you enjoyed this lovely property. Properties in such central locations always come with the risk of being able to hear a bit of the hustle and bustle of such a location. However, 1 Academy Place has never had any feedback previously about anything excessive (or any mention of ANY noise for that matter). However, it is something that may be worth bearing in mind, particularly if you are a light sleeper, not just for this property, but for any that are in the heart of the town; there may be some noise associated with that. For some, it may not be what they would want, but for many, it adds to the experience, or is a minor compromise for being so close to all the amazing things on offer here, literally steps from the shops, cafes, restaurants and of course the beaches! We are glad that you like it and hopefully we will see you back again soon. Tanya, Customer Services
Aspects always helpful and deal with bookings quickly. Property we stayed in this year was amazing, we loved it but prefer to stay closer to the Downalong area. Property was beautiful and so spacious and had see views which was lovely while eating breakfast. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Ms Blay Sep 2021
An enjoyable stay in a very central location, although noise could be heard particularly in the early morning from bin men, street cleaners and deliveries to the shops below. The apartment was large and airy with plenty of space for us all. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possible need and more besides. The views from the upstairs windows were amazing (the window seats were my favourite place to sit).
Mrs Mitchell Aug 2019

Lovely place to stay, great location and not that noisy even though we were on Fore Street. Hope to stay here again in the future
Mrs Crossley Nov 2018
Ideal for a family, dog friendly and overall location and comforts are excellent. If you have restricted mobility there might be too many stairs to climb. It did not bother us. We will be back.
