Lovely well thought out studio, every inch of space has been used thoughtfully to give the studio a spacious feel yet also providing everything you could possibly need for your holiday. In a great position close to Porthgwidden beach but also easily accessible to Porthmeor and the town. During our stay we could hear noise from young children running and jumping around in the cottage above but this didn’t ruin our stay.
This was the first time we stayed at West Coast House and it matched the high standard of other Cherished properties we have rented. It was as the title states and there were sea views from the front at each level, including the small seating area at the front of the house. There is parking for two cars at the rear, it is tight but we managed to get an Audi and Countryman in without any scratches. We were sad to go home and had we been able to, would have happily have stayed longer. I feel the only thing to note is that the view comes at a cost, if you walk into town you need to endure an up...more
This property is wonderfully located, overlooking the harbour. You fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake with the morning gulls. The fixtures and fittings are clean and comfortable, and the views are stunning. The property is charming but in fairness be aware of a couple of quirks which the letting company highlight: There are some steep and uneven stairs outside - but there’s also a railing to hold onto to steady yourself. The ceilings are lowish so be careful if you’re over six feet tall!
We enjoyed our week in St Ives very much. The apartment was beautifully furnished and extremely well equipped as well as located between two lovely beaches, The parking and the large patio were added bonuses.
Bellair house is in a great location overlooking the Harbour and bay of St Ives. The house is beautiful inside and out. This is our third time at the house. And we will be back for more.
The bay house is at the top of the hill so has amazing views of the bay from 2 bedrooms & the outdoor space. We managed to get to our favourite beach super easily (highly recommend a beach trolley, helped lots with loading & unloading the car). The property has everything you need, so well thought out and comfortable.
We’ve just finished our fourth stay in this house - and re-booked for next year. It is ideally located and extremely well arranged for a big family group. Haven’t yet figured out how to turn the lounge heating down - but that’s minor matter. It’s a brilliant house.
A very comfortable cottage for 3 generations, we had a lovely holiday in a very convenient location to enjoy all that St Ives has to offer.
An absolutely fantastic little apartment in a superb location. The views are incredible and the sound of the waves crashing are forever present. Request made to the Cherished team were answered quickly and with a kind thoughtful resolution. Overall a superb break. Thankyou.
A well presented comfortable cottage with easy access to Porthmeor beach (our favourite), Porthgwidden beach, the harbour and Fore Street.
Stayed for 1 week in October. Perfectly situated on the harbour front, Crab Cottage spoils you with its location, accessed from Fish St and a partly covered, partly open stairway to the top floor. Accommodation is bright and airy, main bathroom lovely, smaller en-suite and separate loo from the main bedroom are quite tight to navigate. Nice showers. All was great with the kitchen equipment, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine and a lovely welcome hamper and we made good use of the balcony. Things to improve would be a mat in the hallway to be able to shake the sand off, a more generous a...more
I’ve stayed in this house many times now. It never looks tired or older. It always feels like we are the first people to stay. This house location and views are absolutely awesome. Fixtures and fittings of the highest quality and so warm and cosy. Just love it here.
This was our second stay in Rock House. Great location and garage and parking space a real plus. Appreciated the welcome bag (wine, tea, coffee, biscuits, jam, and doggy chews). Flowers were a lovely touch too. Cutlery, plates, glasses etc were plentiful. Wash room at back of house was very useful for cleaning dog after going on beach. The table in the front room had an excellent selection of games as well (which we didn’t find until almost the end of our stay as the chest just looks like a table). However, my main negative was that the King sized bed was very creaky on th...more
This is our second stay at Harbour Lights. We returned because it is a wonderful location looking down to the bay and the harbour. The sunrises and sunsets are beyond description.We marked down the cleanliness purely because the skylights had internal cobwebs and the external balcony roof area had not been cleaned, beyond that it was perfect. One point as a suggestion is the peak rent compared to the two neighbours.
Our second stay at this property; it is right in the heart of Downalong and an easy walk to anywhere in St Ives and the allocated parking space is a boon. The property is in very nice condition, very well equipped and nicely furnished. All in all it is an ideal let and we’ll be booking it again for next year.
We stayed in Hardy’s cottage during the last week of the summer holidays and the week was not a disappointment! The house was small but big enough for us , would have liked a bigger outdoor space to dry clothes etc but we managed . Location to the beach and town was superb . The house was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed to make ourselves at home .
Had a amazing stay at St Nicholas court and st ives is always a place we holiday in and never disappoints.
The cottage is on a quiet street, behind the quayside, 70 yards, short walk to our favourite beaches with a shop nearby, Norway stores. Lovely restaurants and cafes close by, an absolute delight. We loved our week there.
The best position in St Ives and a house equipped with everything you need for a beachside holiday. The hit outside shower and patio were perfect for getting the sand off after surfing and the views and proximity to town are just perfect. The best place to wake up in St Ives!
Absolutely lovely property, ideally situated for us as a family that love the beach, surprised to find an abundance of water sports equipment for us to use at the property. Highly recommended property.
Porthmeor beach is St Ives best beach, that’s saying something as all of them are so outstanding! The location of this duplex blows the mind, this is a particularly large Piazza property, truly thrilling. The sense of location, light & the constant sound of the waves is a mediative experience. Well equipped & has a lovely homely feel, we would love to return! ( Downside, a small one, thick heavy duvets, with no choice of a flat sheet, is perhaps an oversight during the summer? The alarm & nightlights disturbed us a bit too). Cherished cottages were helpful and polite when we communicated ...more
Only fault was the downstairs floors on arrival were dirty and I had to wash them 3 times. Fridge also faulty but reported and told it was due to weather
We have been returning since 2015, perfect in so many ways for us, we have booked to return next year
I originally walked past "The Lobster's Residence" in 2023 and thought it had the best name! Lovely bright living area and well equipped and comfortable. The main bedroom is a good size but there is some road noise as the window is right down at pavement level. We managed to park outside but obviously this cannot be guaranteed. Everything is close by and if you are a surfer then the beach is about one minute away! Also very handy for the Tate Gallery. The whole cottage was very clean and beautifully maintained.
We had a comfortable week in 4 Barnoon Terrace. Spectacular views and easy - but steep - access to the town and harbour. We loved the house (despite the steep steps and very creaky floorboards!). It was well equipped and homely. Big shout out to Christine and Cherished Cottages. We felt valued and looked after from the start. Thank you.
We’ve just spent a week at 14 Barnaloft and honestly didn’t want to leave! From the moment we arrived, the apartment felt like a real home from home. It had absolutely everything we needed for our stay, and the welcome pack was such a thoughtful touch that made us feel welcome straight away. But the real highlight has to be the location and those incredible views over Porthmeor Beach. We found ourselves just sitting and looking out to sea, taking it all in. Watching Storm Austin roll in, with huge waves crashing onto the beach, the wind whipping up the sea and the spray blowing across the sa...more
GREAT KITCHEN . MATTRESS IN BACK BEDROOM NEEDS REPLACING.STEEP STAIRS. SUGGEST MOVING SINGLE BEDS FROM ATTIC BEDROOM TO BACK BEDROOM.
