"We were very impressed with the standard of The Sanctuary.
It was very clean and well equipped with good quality furnishings. We were met on our arrival by friendly staff and there was a lot of information in the apartment regarding St. Ives and the surrounding area. We were really pleased to have the small decking area to sit in especially as we had our dog Delta with us. We found everyone in the area to be very friendly and we ate out at several restaurants. The Porthminster Beach Café was a favourite and we had a very special anniversary meal there. Luckily we picked a great week for weather so were able to sit outside with Delta. We also loved the outside area at The Loft and were given a good welcome (and a chew for Delta) at Onshore. One night we enjoyed fish and chips from Becks. We also travelled to a favourite haunt of ours at Cadgwith and Coverack. Delta loved her walks on the beach before 8am and we also walked a couple of times to Carbis Bay and had sandwiches and a glass of wine at The Carbis Bay Hotel (not cheap but a lovely location). I think Delta's favourite beach was at Lelant after we have driven there and parked at the church. She could not wait to go for a swim and have a roll in the sand!It was really great to find such a lovely apartment where we could also take our dog and we thoroughly enjoyed our week in St. Ives."

We found the Sanctuary clean, comfortable and ideally situated for exploring St Ives.
However, if you wanted to venture further afield without using a car the time taken by bus or train was very long in comparison. Although there were some quality fixtures we would not really consider it 5 stars compared to other properties that we have stayed in. Both the main bathroom and the en suite had no shelves to leave your toiletries on and the main door was very difficult to open/close as it required some of the âhigh spotsâ shaved off. We were disappointed that, although advertised as having Sky Cinema, there were very few, mainly older films, that were available to view. There was a hand written note within the property detail folder stating that it had been abused in the past and therefore the full facility removed. That should be updated in the on line description of the property. Also Netflix asked for a subscription when selected; which should also be amended in the property description. We did have one issue when the toaster tripped the main circuit breaker for the electrical sockets in the property. It could not be reset, as normal, and there was no power to any electrical appliances, fridge/freezer etc. However, once reported the problem was resolved within a couple of hours.

Upstairs in the cottage was lovely, though downstairs the living room was very small, photos on website do not show the dining table also in the lounge, and a large un-needed coffee table taking up all the room!
!! No drainer to dry pots on if you wanted to handwash. Plus side, lovely garden, outside tap, Badge Inn across the road was lovely, and great train access to St Ives. Cleanliness - sofas were covered in dog hairs, and absolutely stank of wet dog. I hoovered them after we arrived and left the rugs covering them in the corner all week which made it a bit better. Leaflets in the basket were years old, the window in the kitchen was so dirty on the inside you could right your name in it, Whilst checking around when we were leaving, under the sofa was also full of 'tumbleweed doghairs', and 3 draws upstairs were full of someone else's clothes from a previous visitor!!! Not great housekeeping standards, I appreciate it was dog friendly, but not everyone has dogs and surely it should be cleaned properly and deeply after customers!! Its not difficult to hoover under a sofa as opposed to round it. Would not recommend the cottage because of this, and we noticed there are other comments in the visitor book regarding same issues.

We loved Pippin, it is a beautiful little cottage in an amazing location.
So close (but not so it effects the peace of the cottage) to the train shuttle back and forth to St Ives & the bus route - we only used our car once during our week stay. There are great facilities & it is clear that the owners have thought long & hard about what is needed for a comfortable stay. It was lovely having the little well tended garden. Lelant is a great village and Porthkidney Sands just a short walk away is breathtaking! The bathroom was fantastic, the underfloor heating was a real bonus to keep it dry. We were disappointed that there wasnât any recycling facilities, we even walked up to Tesco at Carbis Bay with our plastic, cardboard & glass but there wasnât anything there either. A footstool would be idea in the lounge just for that extra bit of comfort! Some confusion about check-in & out times, the listing differs from the email received and the guest books differs again. 3pm check in and 10am check out would be ideal as 5.30pm & 9.30am takes a whole day of your holiday away.

Very modern and clean property.
Positioned close to railway and st Ives town. Main bedroom superb with on suite shower room. The lounge and kitchen area was well equipped with everything we needed. My mother in law has difficulty with her mobility and uses a wheelchair. She comfortably manoeuvred around the property which delighted her. The additional outdoor area and parking space was a very welcome extra. We had a lovely stay. We felt it was a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for. We couldnât fault the accommodation. We were welcomed with a very thoughtful welcome gift of Prosecco, Cornish apple juice(which was gorgeous) biscuits, milk, tea and coffee. They even left a packet of dog biscuits. Unfortunately we lost our dog before we could take her away with us, but we really appreciated the thought. The whole area was very dog friendly for those wanting to take their dogs on holiday. Most shops and pubs allowed dogs. I would definitely recommend this accommodation.
