Lovely open plan living - ideal for families with children. Hot tub was a bonus! Location fantastic- overlooking the beach and close to the town centre, although the hill back can be a challenge with little ones!

The owner Liz was extremely helpful before and during our stay. Excellent communication throughout. The property was stunning, super clean and beautifully maintained, exactly as advertised with stunning views of St Ives. It was easy to find and the facilities were excellent. We wouldnât hesitate to return to Boscarne or to recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you for such a memorable stay.
