Guests say
Flat 4, Whiterock in St Ives is praised for its convenient parking and good location with sea views. It's considered a suitable base for couples and solo travellers to explore Cornwall. The flat is well-equipped, clean, and offers comfortable mattresses. However, access may be challenging due to steep, narrow stairs.
The property is consistently described as clean, which suggests a high level of cleanliness. However, there is no mention of exceptional cleanliness that would warrant a perfect score.
The location is frequently highlighted as a significant benefit, offering sea views and convenience for exploring St Ives. The mention of steep hills and access issues prevents a higher score.
Comfort is generally rated positively, with mentions of comfy mattresses and a well-equipped flat. Some concerns about the steep stairs and suitability for those with mobility issues slightly lower the score.
Facilities are deemed modern and well-equipped, but there are comments about the need for maintenance and refurbishment. Issues with the shower drain and car parking area are noted.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

Mrs Bradshaw
This is a basic apartment in a good location in St Ives with a parking space, which made it convenient for our holiday. We appreciated the sea views from the main room. It is at the top of two steep flights of stairs in a residential building and doesn’t feel so much like a holiday home. We had a few issues with the shower drain not working and Original Cottages were good at sending contractors out to fix this, I wish we had notified you sooner!

Mrs Hancock
The property is located in a very hilly area of St Ives with very steep hills leading to both Porthmeir beach and the town/harbour area. The property itself is at the top of the house and is also accessed by narrow and steep steps, potentially making it unsuitable for people with mobility/joint problems. The car parking area needs improvement, and we found it difficult to access and exit from.

Enjoyed my stay in the flat. It's well equipped, light, airy and clean and has a comfortable bed. Good value for a solo traveller.
