The property was lovely and clean and spacious for 2 adults and 1 dog. Lovely modern kitchen, nice large bedrooms and good size shower in the ensuite. It is quite a walk into St Ives which is downhill , but quite a hilly walk up. We used taxis instead of walking home and cost on average £5 -£6 using Ace cars taxis based right in the middle of the town, excellent service. Also do tours if you are interested. Had a lovely week here from 7th to 14th September 2024.

Mr Hilton
Really good sized property for us and our 3 year old daughter. Had everything we needed in terms of equipment and facilities. Bedrooms comfy and a really good size. Parking space a massive bonus, short walk to town, beaches, train station, walk back up is fairly steep which wasn't an issue for us but may be for others.
