Mr Precious
Having stayed in St Ives on a number of previous occasions, Flat 1, 4 Fernlea Terrace was very pleasant to stay in. The views from the loung/dining room are among the best in St. Ives. So good that some may be content to watch the beaches from the flat rather than going out if the weather is poor. Located near the Malakoff bus terminus, the flat is easy to get to, but, after a 12-hour journey was not obvious which door to use to access the flat, which is next door to Tea and Coast. We let Marina at Cornish Horizons office know this when we asked for a change of bed linen after the the first week, who was very friendly and helpful, offering to updte the access instructions & provided a delivery of fresh linen. The galley kitchen is well-equipped and laid out with everything close to hand. Free wifi is excellent, plus there are USB charging sockets in the lounge & kitchen (there may be others that we didn't notice). Whilst we had no problems with the location, those with restricted mobility may find climbing Tregenna Hill, Skidden Hill & the entrance stairs a challenge, but the views from the flat more than compensate. One issue, that we did anticipate as we live in a quiet village, was traffic noise in the double room that faces Tregenna Hill. Especially at weekends during the September Festival we were awakened by loud vehicles / motorcycles in the early hours. Our solution was to use "Bio Ears" mouldable earplugs - available from Boots chemist in St Ives. It may be possible to mitigate some traffic noise if the owners could site the double bed against the wall facing the window. Also, during the festival, street lighting was intrusive, which could be a problem for some who may choose to wear an eye-mask, or be reduced by fitting a pelmet / blackout blinds / curtains. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the flat.

Miss Bartlett
Fantastic apartment, with the most amazing view overlooking the beach and harbour, no need for a TV when staying here! Very spacious. The location is very good to reach public transport and shops/beach. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The view from the apartment is absolutely stunning, must be one of the best in the whole town. Can watch the tide coming in and out in the harbour all day from the full length window. The beds were extremely comfortable, and with lovely bedding. The view is truly exceptional and the apartment was extremely spacious and well equipped.
