Smaller than it looks
Amazing location to porthmoer and town. I think more detail is needed on the location as ive not long had surgery on both knees which caused massive discomfort getging up the steep hill to carpark. the cottage is alot smaller than it looks. Dissapointed in the poor quality bathroom. Very scruffy and extremely small. The sofa is very dirty and stained which spoilt the cute cottage look of the lounge. The courtyard was a no go area due overgrown bushes and poor furniture. We had a lovely time but we wont stay it this particular property again.

Quaint cottage in great position but tired decor and needs a good clean!
Good communication with owner prior to arrival however no real communication once we arrived. Upon arrival, the decor was rather tired and tatty which was a shame but not the end of the day. The most disappointing thing was that the cottage had not been cleaned throughly. Floors and handrails were filthy. Sofa was stained. Bath plug was full of hair. There was bindweed growing through into the kids bedroom through the wall. The patio area had not been tended for a long time and there was a rotten rocking chair with a pile of dead weeds left on it! Arnie’s studio smelt very damp so we didn’t use it for the whole of the stay. It’s such a shame as the location is great and the building itself has so much potential!

Excellent, almost idyllic, location. A beautiful listed property with separate suite ideal for a couple of older child. Owner was responsive via the Vrbo app, answering questions fairly promptly. We did find that the outsourced cleaning was not very well done, with an old sock and a used towel down the side of one of the beds, but otherwise, the property is in excellent condition. Really good facilities in the kitchen, but fridge is unsurprisingly small, yet perfectly manageable if shopping every other day or eating out.

Fantastic
Absolutely amazing stay. I knew the general area of the property from pre-research so found it in no time at all. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, but it is a very central and convenient location for St Ives. Property is straight out of a postcard, traditional and quirky due to its age. Fully equipped kitchen and bright fresh bedrooms. Use of the small garden area upstairs was beautiful - so many bumble bees and flowers! We met Sarah next door within minutes of arriving, she was lovely and helped us with information - she showed us the downstairs apartment which we didn’t realise we could use! Amazing! 2 of us stayed and we had more than enough room, we feel this was a bargain given location and facilities. We absolutely want to stay again ASAP. Thank you Vicki!

Holiday in St Ives
Wonderful holiday in St Ives staying at the cottage which was right in the centre of town. The main accommodation had everything we needed and our teenagers enjoyed their own space in the studio. The next door neighbour, who I think works with the owner, was on hand to offer help, advice and tips on the local area, travel, restaurants etc. We will definitely be back in St Ives. ☀️

Dotties and Arnies
Good location to access beaches, harbour and town. Quiet street with friendly neighbour. We had the whole property and found entrance to Arnies is shared access with flat next door and very compact. Could do with a refresh in both properties but suited our family visi on this occasion.

great house, great location
Lovely house, great location! I'd read all reviews and understood the quirksof this being an older property. We did wonder if dehumidifiers would help in the downstairs flat though to combat the damp smell? Noting that, would be happy to stay again!
