When I booked I knew it wouldnt be a peaceful stay as below is music every night..if your someone who doesn't mind noise until midnight or take ear plugs then it's fine but I wouldn't recommend for someone who wants a completely relaxing stay the positive side is the balcony is great and your right on the front.

Please do not ignore the bad reviews - I did not heed them- we have never left a bad review before - but I need to warn you: the noise from the bar beneath the apartment was understated (in the previous reviews) we love St.Ives and realised it would be noisy during the summer but never imagined how bad it would be to stay in this apartment. If you have booked this I would suggest you cancel. The reviews regarding the noise were understated. There is no soundproofing- nothing between the ceiling of the bar and the floor of the apartment- all the walls act like an amplifier meaning you can not escape the constant sounds emitting from below- this reached 61 decibels on Saturday night within the apartment (the bar is know to locals as a nightclub on Friday/Saturdays- playing Ibiza type music- we did not experience the Friday because we had booked Sat-Thurs - we feel sorry for the person staying after us). The noise did not stop on closing - the staff played music whilst they cleared up until 1.30-2.30am and there is noise whilst opening early morning, and whilst alarms are being set. If they were to install soundproofing this would be a lovely apartment (although the showroom/toilet is tiny). I complained on the Sunday morning in the hope we could be moved to other accommodation to enable us to enjoy our holiday - but I was told the owner would not release us due to the statement in the listing warning it is above a bar with a music licence - this does not describe the reality of the extensive non stop noise from the base music and vibrations through the floor and all walls.

Firstly the reason I wouldn’t recommend staying here is if you want to have any form of sleep don’t count on it… there is a comment about the rum and crab shack below having live music on a weekend, however there is no mention of the constant blasting music throughout till 2/3am every single day which then begins again at 7am when the chefs get in. The bar below clearly gives no damn about the fact they have guests above them. Theyd block the entrance daily with boxes, bikes and bin bags. I understand this is not related to the property but there is no mention of this commotion at all hours whatsoever which is the reason we’re annoyed as we paid a lot for the week. The shower leaks and the bathroom looks nothing like the photos. It’s a shame because the location, living room, the bed are great. I stay yearly and this is the most disappointed I’ve been as it was a week of no sleep for £750
