Supermarkt in der Nähe. Gute Parkmöglichkeit am Haus (auch für größere Autos), was in St Ives sehr selten ist.Ausstattung lässt keinerlei Wünsche offen, alle Geräte sind funktionsfähig.

3 Porthminster Mews - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

8/10 Good
"The apartment location and general design is really excellent, and luxurious in almost every regard. There are more than adequate facilities for a family of 4. Check in was simple via a lock box. Parking adequate - a little tight if you have a larger car, but still doable. We found the beds and sofas very comfy. Useful outside space at the rear, however we weren't able to use it (or even have the door open) on weekdays due to the extremely noisy pile-driving going on next door. Gorgeous views from both the main living space and the master bedroom. 2 great bathrooms, as well as a separate W.C. Couldn't get the dryer to work, so plan time for hanging clothes drying if you do laundry when away. Couple of safety issues: 1. There was a stair gate of the incorrect type fitted to the top of the stairs. Stair gates fitted at the top of the stairs must not have a bottom bar as they can lead to severe falls down the staircase. We removed it and did not refit it. The owners MUST fit one of the correct type if they wish to have this safety feature in the apartment and indeed, if they are serious in trying to prevent children from having accidents on the stairs, they should fit one to the bottom of the stairwell too (one with a bottom bar is fine in this application). 2. The shower screen in the master bathroom is coming away from the wall on the topmost screw, thus is not fitting correctly and is causing water to leak heavily onto the floor. I worried about it failing completely so was cautious about anyone using the bathroom, particularly my young child. The screen is very heavy and would likely cause an amputation if if fell on a limb or foot, plus it's causing unnecessary water damage. (I am not the first reviewer to mention this). All in all, a lovely, mostly well-appointed apartment in a good location, not quite presented at it's absolute best."

"This apartment has spectacular views over Porthminster Beach, its only a few minutes walk into the town. The apartment itself has everything you need, very stylish and clean. The bed was very comfortable as I have a back condition. The fresh milk in the fridge was a nice touch and its great to have a parking space. There was two small little things, the bathroom bin was broken and there weren't any oven clothes but apart from that we would definately like to stay here again."

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the welcome gift was a thoughtful touch. The location was also great, with the town centre within walking distance, making it easy to get around. The only issue was with the parking information. The listing stated that parking was available, but I later found out that it is only provided for guests staying 7 nights or more. This restriction was not mentioned in the listing, so it would be helpful if this could be clarified for future guests. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place."
