Fantastic position

We had a great holiday in your cottage, everything we needed was at hand. We especially liked that it was in a quieter part of St Ives but incredibly near to a nice beach. We also liked that fact that it's near to great restaurants and shops.

Just lovely

We stayed there (3 adults) for 3 nights and had such lovely time. The house instantly makes you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door. It is decorated with so much thought given and love, I really enjoyed it. Also the welcome pack was such a lovely addition. Best of all is the very central location to the harbour and the main shopping areas, as well as the Tate Gallery. It literally is the perfect location in St. Ives. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back.

Great location, great little cottage.

We've stayed in the 'downalong' for the last 17 years and 4 St Eia is certainly one of our favourite cottages. It's beautifully appointed and decorated inside and very comfortable and cosy. Like most typical downalong cottages it is compact, but the living areas feel spacious and airy, and the owners are honest and explain in their details that there are 4 flights of stairs, so you know what to expect; it's great exercise, but just don't forget to bring down everything you need from pretty master bedroom in the eaves! The owners are extremely helpful, communication is easy and there is a local housekeeper at hand if you have any problems. Thanks Emma and Andy for a fantastic holiday.

Fishermans Cottage St Aia Street

The cottage is very stylish inside. It is really lovely. The three of us stayed there for a week and we became very fond of it. I hope people realize the front door is a barn door. You can open the top half and let the fresh air of the street come into the kitchen. We had some problems with the washing machine and it was sorted out immediately by Andy and Emma. St Ives is an amazing place and the cottage is right in the middle of it.. A magical experience.

A beautiful cottage with everything you need in a great location

A great cottage finished to a high standard with everything there you could need for cooking etc. In a great location only a 5 minute walk to all the beaches,shops,restaurants and pubs. Our children loved porthgwidden beach the most,but porthmeor beach definatley worth a visit for surfing/bodyboarding. It was a challenge driving around to the cottage in my pickup truck,but once unloaded we parked up at the rugby club which was £35 for a 7 day parking pass,and there is a bus service which takes you back down into the town which is really handy as getting a parking space in the town is not easy. We loved our stay at this cottage and st Ives and we will be back. The Goddard family

Underwhelming decor and comfort, dissapointing

Great location as I wanted to swim at Porthgwidden easily but the cottage is a little drab and overall not up to the standard I expected. I contacted the owners with details of particular faults but they never responded.

Stay cut short due to noise through the walls

The property is lovely - well decorated, furnished and very clean. We know & love the area but didn’t realise this cottage was back to back or that noise would travel so much. We were extremely unlucky in that there was a particularly noisy group staying behind us but soon discovered that even normal conversation could be heard - they could obviously hear us too as we heard them discussing it! As our stay was for much needed respite and we got very little peace or sleep - and there was obviously nothing we could do to improve the situation we made the hugely disappointing decision to cut the 4 night stay short and left after just one night. We made the owners aware of the issue & our departure at 1pm and even gave them the opportunity to re-let the cottage. However they didn’t respond to us until 8.30 that night and didn’t/couldn’t really say anything other than they could try talking to the owners of the neighbours. This was obviously no help to us and in all honestly wouldn’t prevent normal level noise being heard. I am extremely surprised that no-one else has raised the soundproofing issue so maybe we are particularly sensitive to noise but I do think it is important to make other potential guests aware as if I had seen a review mentioning it I certainly wouldn’t have chosen this cottage. A real shame!

Nice cottage in an excellent location

Very good cottage in a perfect location, only slight negative would be that it spans 4 floors so was a bit of a pain going upstairs / downstairs but that’s not really a big issue
