We’ve been staying in St Ives with aspects holidays for 3 years and by far this is the best place we’ve stayed ( as others the second double bedroom s were to small) this is right in middle of shops easy to get to everything inside was excellent can’t say a bad word , I would only say it s up a small hill and there’s about 8 steps outside to get into the house but that’s it we’d definitely stay in the same house again

We are so glad that you enjoyed your time there. Like much of St Ives, which is known for being very hilly, you do have a bit of a hill to get back to the property after your day out exploring the town or the beaches, but on the plus side, it is only a few minutes from it all. We hope that this, and the steps were all as expected from the details and photos that we include on the website though. Thanks for the review and hopefully we will see you back here again soon.

A lovely homely property which is very well equipped and a much appreciated arrival supply tray provided. Great location, close to shops, beaches and restaurants. All information provided by aspects was clear and easy to access. The property would benefit from a bigger fridge as it is really small for a family of 4. We very much enjoyed our stay at Spindrift.

This is our second time at Spindrift. The property is very comfortable. Love the garden to sit and relax after a day out. We left the car at home and travelled to St Ives by train so spindrift is very convenient for the railway station, shops and beaches. We had a lovely holiday even though it was difficult at times due to covid restrictions closing some of the eating places at short notice.
Mrs Price Jun 2021
Great little cottage with a central location - very clean and comfortable King Size bed. The garden is a little sun trap and helpful for drying out wetsuits etc. Note: it is accessed via the second bedroom upstairs, which is not a problem, but we hadn't clocked beforehand! Would definitely look to go again. Thanks for a great holiday
Mr Bryan Jun 2021
Our second time at Spindrift. Fantastic location, comfortable beds, the garden is a bonus. No car space but we leave our car at Barnoon Car Park. We usually buy a weekly Rover Ticket from Cornwall Council so you can park in any of their long stay car parks without the need to search for cash. Although car parks are free until 17 May 2021.
Mrs Dean Apr 2021
Excellent location. Handy for everything but still lovely and peaceful. Outside space is a proper little sun trap. Property was comfortable and everything we needed was to hand. Very clean and bright. We had no transport and this was a great spot, close to the station, close to all amenities. We would definitely consider staying here again

Spindrift is lovely property with everything you need including enclosed suntrap garden Close to shops and beaches.
Mr Milburn Sep 2020
Lovely little property a stone throw away from the harbour and local shops, although parking locally is an issue it didn't really affect our holiday but bear this in mind...
Clean and tidy property with everything you need for your stay, the garden was a great little addition and I would recommend staying here. We enjoyed St. Ives and the location and what Spindrift had to offer was a factor in us having a great break.
Mr Baldwin Aug 2020
A homely cottage, in an excellent location. We enjoyed taking advantage of the lovely patio area, which is a real bonus.
Ms Robinson Sep 2019
Excellent location and beautiful view from the big bedroom! I really liked the lovely kitchen decoration and equipment! Very cosy holiday home!
Mrs Kawaters Jul 2019
It was our first time not staying in a hotel or B&B in the UK, so we weren‘t familar with all facilities in the cottage, but everytime we called the Aspect Holiday hotline everybody was very friendly and helpful! Also the „welcome-basket“ with cornish tea and cookies was absolutely lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again with Aspect Holidays for our next holiday in St Ives.
Mr. Krause Jul 2019
Well located house in the centre of St Ives. Comfortable living rooms and bedrooms, with a well equipped kitchen. Very clean house, would definitely recommend staying here.
Mrs Sterrett Jul 2019
Spindrift is a comfortable, centrally located cottage which we have booked for three successive years. It’s lovely to have some outside space - a small terrace which is a bit of a sun trap.It has all mod cons and is ideal for a small group or family who want reasonably priced accommodation close to all amenities.
Mrs Buck Sep 2018
This is the second time we have stopped in Spindrift, lovely cottage good location!
Mrs Huggins Jul 2018
Beds so comfortable and always nice and warm in the cottage!
Mrs Bastow Oct 2017
Lovely place to stay and a great location for shops, cafes, restaurants and beaches, would definitely stop at Spindrift again! Plus we had a full week of sunshine!
Mrs Huggins Jul 2017
We had a wonderful Christmas break for a family of four, in this well-equipped and superbly located cottage, just a few steps down the lanes and you're right in the midst of the harbour and shops! We would recommend this property especially for its central location in town, morning sunrise views across the harbour from the main bedroom, and cosy and comfortable interior!
Mr Kirkland Jan 2017
Spindrift is a comfortable and very well maintained and equipped cottage.Its located in a quiet but convenient and central part of St Ives, adjacent to the Barbara Hepworth Museum. I hope to return soon.
Mrs Buck Sep 2016
We had a fantastic stay at Spidrift. Great, central location and a cosy, well equipped cottage to come back to each day. Even parking was fine (out of school holidays) as we bought a week long-stay ticket and were able to park at the top of the hill every time.
Mr Knott Jul 2016
Perfectly located clean, fresh lovely cottage.
Mrs Hazley Jan 2016
Excellent location, right in the centre of St Ives - makes it so easy when staying with a young family. Lovely, charming little cottage, light and airy, with excellent facilities (microwave, washing machine, utensils etc) absolutely loved staying here.
