About this property
Boundy's House is a beautifully restored, Grade II listed cottage 3 miles from popular St Ives. Inside, this place is full of character with beams and a roaring open fire in the cosy sitting room inglenook. There's a large, double-aspect lounge, with sofas and a chaise longue, so you'll never want for somewhere to sit and relax. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two doubles, one with a king-size bed and a twin. Outside is a large and lovely enclosed garden with a neat lawn, a small pond and a table and chairs. Boundy's House is in a popular area of west Cornwall and from here it's easy to catch the coastal train to St Ives. Spend the day browsing the many interesting shops and galleries or on sunning yourself on one of the many excellent beaches. Further afield you can stroll along the prom and take in views of Mount's Bay in Penzance, take in a show at the fabulous Minack cliff-top theatre in Porthcurno, or visit Land's End for breathtaking scenery and family fun.
One of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, St Ives offers narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more.

The huge crack in the kitchen sink is surely a hygiene issue as is the lack of grouting between the tiles in both the bathroom and the toilet. The entrance porch had that many cobwebs that it looked like it not been cleaned in a while. The level of dust (and in some cases dead flies) on the sash windows told a similar story. The top of the cooker hood had a layer of grease on it â when you consider how often guests use the cooker (the guest book is full of comments about guests eating out) this cannot have been cleaned for a long time. This lack of attention to maintenance and cleaning shows something of a disrespect to guests.

Very difficult to ventilate the house and dead flies, wasps and spiders webs around windows so needs a thorough clean. Train station close but one/two trains a day so pretty pointless. Location good in general but the car access is difficult due to parked vehicles blocking visibility. Probably wouldnât stay again due to the above.
