Alfred Wallis is a great location to explore St Ives and soak up the wonderful views.
The apartment is located on the second floor and parking is about a 7 minute walk away. I would advise unloading at the long stay car park as the road leading down to the apartment is very narrow. The allocated space itself was easy enough find by the directions given, however the space was hard to locate due to overgrown weeds and a large 4x4 encroaching on the allocated space for Alfred Wallis. The markings had also faded. The space is more suited for a smaller car rather than a large family car. Once parked, we rarely needed the car unless we were heading out of St Ives. There are plenty of walks, shops, beaches, bus transportation to get around. Access to the property involves steps and steep inclines. Some would find this difficult. It certainly helped me reach 10k steps a day! We arrived late Friday evening due to traffic. The key collection instructions were clear and easy to find. We were greeted with an overwhelming smell from the drains in both bathrooms. After flushing the shower drains through with hot water this did seem to help. The apartment was clean, beds were comfy. Both bathrooms had been updated since the photos on the advertisement. A new sofa in the living area. I would point out there were no hand soaps in both bathrooms. Something which we usually expect when we stay with Sykes, and especially when paying nearly £1500 for a week. I would recommend advising customers this is a necessary item to bring with them when staying at Alfred Wallis. There was a hair dryer provided in both bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped apart from there being no toaster. A simple kitchen gadget which is handy for an easy breakfast. The patio doors were not in use in the kitchen area, only the living room side. The WiFi was ok. A couple of days we had very poor service. The TV lost signal for a day or so. We couldnât find any sky Chanelâs, only free view and Netflix through the PS3. Disposing of household waste was not as described in the folder. The wheelie bins are located in the outhouse at the back of the property. I ended up having to ask a neighbour on the first floor who also struggled to locate the bins. We stayed during May Halfterm. I wouldnât be happy to pay anymore than we did, especially in the summer holidays. The only welcome item we received was a pint of milk and No hand soap. Some board games, a few books would be a nice touch. Especially on the rainy days when there is poor signal and the tv doesnât want to work. Overall Alfred Wallis is a lovely apartment which could do with a few finishing touches to make the stay a 10/10.

Parking not acceptable.
The location of this property is great and the views are lovely but thereâs a few points that need highlighting for future people looking to book. PROS: Flat itself is clean and well kitted out. Some lovely extras like biscuits and tea and coffee. Sky TV and good Wi-Fi signal. Location is brilliant and very short walk to Porthmeor beach, harbour and main shops. Views are outstanding. CONS: Firstly access for unloading the car is only possible via a very steep narrow lane which is also a dead end. Itâs very hard to get down there due to the nature of the lane and other people trying the same thing. Secondly and importantly is the parking isnât acceptable. Itâs not close and a good steep walk to it but more importantly as itâs just a gravel bit of land there is not enough room for all the cars. I was blocked in by other cars and couldnât open my doors to access my car or move it for a planned day trip thus affecting our holiday experience. This really needs to change. Due to the poor access to unload I also spent time ferrying bags back and fore which took a long time. The bathrooms are wet rooms and so if you shower in the morning the whole floor is wet all day when using the toilets or sinks. Balcony has a cracking view but is very tiny with hardly any room to move. The location itself is brilliant but steep as are the stairs in the property so wouldnât be great for some older people. I appreciate a lot of these issues are expected with a location like St Ives but it should be made known on the website. Itâs worth saying that while the parking issue couldnât be resolved the service we received when we contacted Sykes was very good. I wouldnât book again unless the parking issue was changed and clearly pictured what the new space was on the listing. I also think pictures of the access to the property should be added as trying to reverse down that steep narrow lane would not be pleasant for some people hence why I didnât try it.

A super apartment with everything we needed for our stay in Southwould, booking was easy and all communication good.
On arrival we had an issue with bed linen being stained which was promptly rectified by very helpful team both on the phone and in person which was awesome thank you. The apartment is in a super location and well designed and maintained however the apartment above could do with better soundproofing particularly in the bedroom section. We were unlucky that during our short stay both groups/familyâs that stayed above us were up VERY early in the morning with alarms going off and showers being taken at 4 am and 6 am/6:30am so disturbed both us and the children in the bedrooms bellow. With the second set of guests arriving we sighed relief feeling we would have better luck however we were then met with very loud snoring and yet again another very early wake up call. Soundproofing was not an issue in the lounge / living area so it was a shock the bedroom was such a issue. Is it possible also that there could be an anti allergen pillow/ bedding supplied? ⦠the beds were very comfortable however Iâm allergic to feathers and the down bedding meant I slept with jumpers between my face and the bedding so as not to suffer soo badly. On vacating the apartment we also found the hoover broken with a note attached to say that it was out of order by a previous guest. It meant our experience in the apartment was mixed this time yet having stayed with bestofsuffok before we were expecting good things.

Any upstairs property is likely to be a bit uncomfortable in hot weather as the best can be done is to have lots of fans!
Realistically it was a bit like being in a caravan with some space restrictions. Get the impression it used to be more popular some time ago, for the owners, whilst friendly, are perhaps a little amateur despite being in this business for a long time. Have to be confident remembering the last passing place as you travel the single-track lanes 2miles from Necton where there is a good Co-op shop and filling station. Only real problems on site were the kettle tripping the whole power system until it was replaced as there were no spare plug fuses. You need to make toast with the door open or the fire alarm goes off. Wi-Fi was perfectly OK - it just needs a quick mention in the cottage information sheets. The siting is only disappointing if you want to walk a lot as the restrictions on where you can walk because of private properties make it very difficult to work out from the maps provided in the information sheets. Endless hot water should you want it but offset by silly things: only one loo roll supplied and minimal quantities of sugar/tea/coffee like a hotel room. Comfy bed, decent shower. Compared with many Sykes Cottages we have visited, this was well down the scale, though not a disaster.
