Great location, Barnoon car park within walking distance, albeit steep steps but worth it just for the view.Left the car and walked most places.St Ives is well worth visiting to walk the old cobbled streets and take in the ambience of the town

Absolutely beautiful cottage and in a great location for the beach and St Ives town. The Wine bar was not an issue in November. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Only criticism was that the bed in the large bedroom was on wheels and moved every time we moved. The large bedroom was also very light during the night due to streetlights outside, it would benefit some blackout blinds. Overall a lovely stay and would stay again.
