Only downside was the allocated parking which was half a mile from the property and all uphill but you have to expect difficulty parking in a place like St. Ives with its narrow streets. Highly recommended.

The owners have really gone above and beyond to create the perfect holiday home. The decor, the tech., everything that makes a kitchen, the furniture, the bedding - in fact everything was of really high quality. We had the best time exploring St Ives and enjoying the beaches and surf. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accommodation.
