Mr Shorthouse
This cottage is all about the position. It overlooks the harbour, just a few paces from the sea, cafes and shops. The picture windows in the sitting room and dining room are fabulous. It is an old building with mostly small rooms and some low beams, a bit 'tired' in places but with comfortable beds, clean and a decent level of equipment (although a smart TV would be welcome). The parking is in a large garage a couple of streets away - it is very tight to manoeuvre with pillars and awkward angles. (the risk of scraping the car was too high and we gave up - £16 for a week in the long stay car park was far easier). Information in the property was basic - and no welcome pack (no milk, tea, coffee...) This costs so little and smacks of penny pinching - at this price point at least. We had brilliant March weather and St Ives felt vibrant and looked wonderful - so much to see and do right on our doorstep (the bakery is a gem). Overall - recommended

Mr Helps
We had a lovely holiday and everything was just as we needed. The dogs loved being just next to the beach and there was plenty of room to put their crate up without impacting on living space. it was nice to have the living room in an elevated position and the view of the harbour and sea we fantastic. Would stay here again. Would recommend.

We have stayed in Richard Song 3 times. It is at the heart of St. Ives we love it. Whatever the weather and whatever you want to do . You have the views and the easy access - perfect.
