Mrs Howard
A perfect stop for a short break for a couple. Amazing location! Fantastic views from the kitchen & bedroom area where there is a table & chairs that you can sit & have your breakfast looking out to sea, hear the waves, & see the stunning sunrises. The church tower opposite chimes away every hour which is absolutely delightful! You always know what time it is! The small kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook, hob & microwave, no oven but perfectly adequate. We actually ate out mostly as there are plenty of great restaurants, places to eat so we only used it for breakfast. The bed was comfortable, shower fine, tall people would have to watch their heads, duck here & there in the bathroom by the toilet & sink but it didn't really bother us. The deck from the living area is a lovely outside space & perfect on a fine day being able to view from roof top height. Overall it is light & airey & we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. We had no issue parking in the car parks fairly nearby but we were out of season & you can always unload your things slightly further down as long as you stay with your vehicle. There are a few short flights of steps up to the flat itself but worth it when you look out at the view. A selection of games, books, CD's, Dvds, chair pads etc was a nice touch. Can be a bit noisy when the crowds leave the pub nearby due to the location but it doesn't last long & we heard it only a couple of times & it is to be expected being so near to the front with restaurants, pubs so close. Would definitely stop again!

Mr Wilkins
Well equipped centrally located flat. Fantastic views over the harbour and bay. The roof terrace was very pleasant in the afternoon sunshine. One can get fit walking up and down the town's hilly streets and the steps up to the top floor flat too. Shops, bars, restaurants, museums and beaches all within walking distance, meaning that once any car is parked it can be left, so enjoy St Ives.
