This studio has been updated since my last few visits. I was a fan on the cabin bed and the large tv. I will admit the sofa is better and the layout better for access. The shower is amazing outdoor space magic fir st Ives. You won’t be disappointed!
This flat was in wonderful location with amazing views from both the lounge and main bedding. It was very comfortable, warm and cosy with just enough room for 3 adults and one happy dog. Such a great base for everything beach’s, shops, restaurants and lovely coastal walks. Would be happy to return anytime of the year. Perfect for seeing New Year fireworks without needing to be outside.
really enjoyed the house, warm comfortable, beautiful, fabulous views, great location. Definitely coming back
This is a great house, plenty of useable space and everything we needed and more for our stay. We received a very friendly greeting on arrival, everything was perfect and the house was warm and welcoming. The kitchen was a great space with plenty of room to sit round the table, the appliances were good quality, and lots of cupboards. The views from the front windows look towards Porthmoer Beach and beyond and the top bedroom has a fantastic view towards Porthminster Beach and Carbis Bay. The bedrooms are spacious with very good quality beds and bedding, the bathrooms again are ample in size...more
Back for a 3rd stay and loved it just as much, Couldn’t ask for a better location 2 minute walk to shops and restaurants 5 minutes from the beach. This house has a great feel about it can’t wait to come back next year. Love the treats and flowers on arrival nice touch, Thanks for the stay to all the staff.
I think the time for leaving and arriving need to be looked at because you loose a day of your holiday. When COVID was with us the early and late times were needed because of longer times for cleaning this is not the cases now. After saying all this I know you always get us in as early as you can I am just thinking of other people
Our second stay at Driftshore cottage and won’t be our last as we have booked for 2026. The location is excellent, just 2 minutes from two beaches and the town centre for restaurants/shops but just off the main routes so there is less noise than some places we have stayed. In the living room, it is easy to relax after a busy day and the kitchen has all you need, if the walk to Fore street is too hard (wet) and you want to stay indoors.
This is a truly amazing house to stay in for your holiday, the location and views are second to none The bedrooms are spacious with luxurious bedding, en suites and bathrooms are of an exceptionally high standard The first floor kitchen, dining room and lounge area make the most of the stunning views, as do the decking areas Plenty of outside space to store paddle boards, surf boards, belly boards and wet suits together with an outside shower too We enjoyed every minute of our stay and didn't want to leave
We stayed at The Beach Snug for Christmas 2025 myself and my husband. It was perfect for the 2 of us, comfortable bed, The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom was clean. The view was lovely looking out onto Porthmeor Beach with a little balcony with 2 pulldown seats. We don’t have mobility issues but for info there are stone steps down to the front door which is at the rear. Would definitely stay there again.
This is our favourite spot in St Ives - genuinely. Seaside House is a superbly appointed property in a prime location making it easy to potter into town and back for a beer, a mooch around the galleries, or to wrap up for a bracing walk along the Coastal Path.
This was our second (consecutive) NY stay at Hardy’s Cottage and once again it more than delivered. The quality, cleanliness is exceptional. Cherished Cottage really know how to maintain the festive spirit with the tastefully decorated lounge. Everything you need in this cottage… the location is awesome. Great for an early walk on the beach and equally cheeky pre-dinner glass of wine nearby. Needed no encouragement to make enquiry for next year… unfortunately beaten to it. However, didn’t hesitate to book another Cherished Cottage property where we have previously stayed and know is as equally...more
Beautiful apartment on the top floor … beautifully furnished and comfortable.. it sleeps 6 and I would say more 4 or family with children as only one sofa for 3 and a chair … rest of seating is dining room chairs or bench along the table .. just me as I like space and places to put things tidy x
We have stayed in about 40 holiday homes over the years. All have been 5 star rated but none have compared to Harbour Lights. Spread over 3 floors it offers everything you would need from a perfect holiday home - cleanliness, comfort, privacy, peace, space and then you have a view that will stay in your mind forever. From the balcony you look down on to St Ives bay and harbour. Sitting out there with a cold drink, watching the boats and yachts coming and going is paradise. The whole gable end of the top floor is glazed. The walk down to St Ives looks a long way but in reality it takes 14 minut...more
For the last few years, our family of 8 people and 1 pet have stayed at Rock House for the Christmas holidays. The week before Christmas is very quiet and a good time to explore the town before the pace picks up for the New Year. The house is comfortable, clean, spacious and well equipped and there is a large garage and parking space at the rear of the property. Rock House is situated in a slightly elevated position via a 5 minute walk to / from the harbour. The location is excellent for both sea and town views particularly from the main lounge and master bedroom. We have always booked vi...more
A fourth stay in this spectacular property and I have no doubt, we will be back. It is the perfect location for anyone who enjoys watching the sea.
Had a wonderful stay at Sailfish Cottage. The Cottage provided comfortable and good facilities and location was perfect for accessing all local amenities in the heart of St Ives. The private Car Park space was an added bonus to our stay. Would definitely recommend.
Another quality property from Cherished. Superb location with stunning views from lounge and master bedroom which never failed to make me smile. Lovely balcony overlooking beach and another overlooking the town. No parking but can use Barnaloft for dropping off luggage. We arranged private parking which saves any uncertainty of finding a space. Ideally situated for restaurants, shops and walks. Only negative is poor lighting for reading but I would not hesitate in returning.
Great place, if not one of the best we have stayed in. Luxury property, great outside space and all with parking. We will use again
If this house hadn't have had the view, I think it would still have been one of the most outstanding properties we have ever stayed in in St Ives (and we have stayed in A LOT). It was stylish, comfortable, well equipped, there was no short-straw bedroom, and the location was incredible - dead centre, with Fore Street about 100 paces away. But the view... or should I say views... whoa! Even those in the two bedrooms at the side of the house wake up to sea vistas towards Porthminster Beach, while the three at the front square on to the (literally) dazzling harbour and chapel-topped Island. If I ...more
Another great holiday at the oldbakehouse. Great location. Decent size fridge freezer. Comfy sofas and bed. Step outside the front door and you’re 2 mins away from everything. Cherished cottage team can’t do enough to make your stay perfect
An absolute perfect studio cottage for a couple, literally 5 mins walk to all beaches and town shops The studio is fitted with top quality equipment and fittings and is very warm and comfortable If you are lucky enough to get in the island car park , it is about 100 metres away We love st ives and will definitely book driftshore studio again
Westholme is a wonderful house in a great location. Just a couple of minutes walk down the hill to Porthmeor Beach. The house had everything we needed and is beautifully decorated. The living room upstairs was my favourite, with fabulous views of the sea. We loved this house so much that we have already booked for next year
Beautifully presented flat overllooking Porthmeor beach. Fabulous view. Well appointed modern flat in a complex. Lots of facilities and parking albeit very tight. The furiture was in good condition Comfortable beds, the sofa looked good but for an oldie like me too low and the arms too high. Coffee table set at ankle hight we both fell over it. Good kitchen, unfortunately you could use hot plates or oven but not both at once. The RDS Tripped when you did. Fusebox cupboard packed with Christmas decoration the tree made access impossible. The emergency team were great. Answered immediately...more
We really enjoyed our stay in the Lobster Residence - we loved all the lobster references in the decor. The open plan lounge / kitchen diner was beautiful. The stairs down to the bedrooms could be tricky for people with small children or mobility issues. It was a lovely cosy winter retreat despite the gales and rain.
we had a lovely family week at Rosevale , we have stayed before and very much enjoyed it , location is very good , we had a super week
Great house nicely maintained. Amazing views. Comfy beds. Fully equipped for holiday. Quick Access to town and beaches down steep steps Useful outside shower. Handy parking space Nice garden seating across 3 areas (Would like to be able to open main bedroom window)
This was our fourth time staying at this property so, obviously, we love it here. It is extremely comfortable, convenient for everything that St Ives has to offer and the view from the property onto Porthmeor beach is stunning. We will, of course, be back.
A return visit to 4 Island Road, and the cottage was fully up to the usual exceptional standards. We have been visiting St Ives for eleven years now and have used Cherished for most of those visits. They are a friendly, helpful and efficient company that we can recommend without reservation.
