If I could find a better word than phenomenal to describe this place then I’d use it. Perfect location, stunning interior which was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We’ve been coming to St Ives for over twenty years staying in various cottages and apartments and this place tops the lot for us.Thank you to the owners for providing such luxury in St Ives!
5.0
The cottage is perfectly located right in the heart of the old town, just off the seafront. Very spacious and nicely furnished it’s ideal for a family holiday. The facilities were to the highest standard and the owners were very accommodating - we had twin babies and they brought in two cots, two high chairs and two buggies for us at no extra cost.

Second stay at this comfortable and well equipped cottage. Lovely decorations for Christmas. Great location for everything St Ives has to offer and for exploring the lands end and lizard peninsulas.

Lacks personal touch, parking quite far but good.
Fire not working in lounge
Too cold downstairs in the bedrooms as the owners have the heating preset to 14 degrees if it had been a rainy cold weekend it would have been rather unpleasant.
However location is amazing and cottage has been designed exceptionally well, housekeepers friendly and worked hard to get us in at 4pm, however I did find 4pm check in rather late and 10am checkout too early
5.0
We had a fabulous time at Iris. The property is absolutely beautiful - so comfy, cozy and well presented. The location is perfect - especially being less than 30 seconds walk from St Ives Bakery and their famous Cruffins!
It was great being so central, yet also being so quiet with not many people wandering up and down the Digey.
We will definitely be back!!

High end interiors and rich quality throughout - each room is straight from an interiors masterclass and you are spoilt with every detail - from the emma Bridgwater seaside mugs and lobster plate (my favourite!) to the gorgeous flames in the remote gas log burner! The only place we will stay xx

Our second stay at Iris cottage this year and yet again we were not disappointed! on this visit we also brought friends who were equally as happy as us.
Communication from booking to arrival was good, on arrival the cleanliness and finishing touches were again, impeccable.
Iris cottage is so conveniently located in the heart of St Ives, close to shops, restaurants and beaches a perfect location.
Having the opportunity to make use of the secure parking negates the need to worry about what you'll do with the car, using the walk up the hill to collect a perfect opportunity to walk off the over indulgence of pasties!
If we were to be critical when staying with more than the two of us the lounge area could accommodate a further sofa to provide relaxed seating for all four adults staying, buth this is being very picky!!
Fantastic accommodation 5*Plus, and yes we will be back again!!!
Thank you

We had a fantastic week stay and the sun shone the whole time! The house is located in the heart of St Ives and is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, there is nothing more we could have asked for except to have stayed longer! We will definitely be back!

Amazing space and location. Highly recommended!
This is by far the best holiday home experience my wife and I have ever had.
When the booking was confirmed we received a really detailed welcome pack with all the information you would ever need. Included in this was the option of a secure parking space a 10/15 min walk from the beach front. Very handy as the parking in St Ives can be a bit of a nightmare.
When we arrived, we'd been provided with fresh bread from the local bakery, eggs, butter, jam and biscuits, and as much tea and coffee as you could drink. It made us feel at home right away and got our holiday off to a great start.
The space was so calm and relaxing that we found ourselves spending far more time there than we generally would. The gated central courtyard was a lovely addition and in our case, with 2 small children, it provided a safe space for them to play.
The location is amazing. You're just one step away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, you have Porthmeour beach 2 mins away and 90% of all the shops and restaurants are less than a 5 min walk.
I genuinely don't think you'll find a better place to stay when visiting St Ives. We'll certainly be back.

Call Park problem
Call Park problem
We had problems to get out of your car park.
When we entered the car we got in all right.
But then the door was closed when we wanted to leave the car park. From inside the code we had would not work anymore. That was at night so there was nobody to reply on the phone when I called. I left a message on the voice recorder but nobody called me back. After 30 minutes we managed to give in the code number from the outside position. This also needed several trials.
We were already thinking of climbing over the fence. Or contact our friends whom we left behind in the cottage to bring some food and drink and stay in the car for the night

Beautiful Cottage, not without a few issues though
Iris is a beautiful cottage in a great location, and is well maintained. There was safe storage for surfboards, a welcome outdoor shower to wash sand off outside and the living area was great for having friends round. Overall we found it value for money, and had a good holiday there, but there were a number of issues we didn’t expect. It was not ready for us at the correct time, in fact it was nearly 5pm before the housekeeper had finished (she was lovely and very polite), and the drain in the shower was totally blocked with sand so the plumber had to come out to clear it. In addition to this the blinds downstairs are not sufficient (I had to buy an eye mask from Amazon to be able to sleep), people talk loudly in the street outside the bedroom window in the middle of the night and the car park is miles away (don’t be fooled by the comment that you can get a taxi to and from it, as all St Ives taxi companies refused to do the journey for us.

Gorgeous St Ives Cottage
Iris is a gorgeous cottage right in the heart of St Ives. Decor and furnishings are all so tasteful - we loved it. Great communication with the owners. Highly recommended.

Stylish and comfortable accommodation in fantastic location
Iris is a gorgeous accommodation with a very high spec finish. The bedrooms are large with very comfortable beds and the upstairs living space large but so bright and airy that it feels even bigger than it is. All decor and furnishings are high spec and the decor is nautical and very appropriate being by the sea. It was suitable for young children but could be more child friendly with a stool in the bathroom for little ones to reach the sink but that’s just being picky. The other slightly inconvenient and annoying issue was the front door only opening just over half way which made it a bit difficult to ge the pram in and out. The location is absolutely brilliant being on a quiet street just off of the hustle and bustle of St Ives and and literally 2 mins from the beach and harbour. I would recommend familiarising yourself with the luggage drop off before your visit as if you aren’t familiar with St Ives, this can be a little overwhelming at first. We really couldn’t fault anything with our stay at Iris, other than a couple of minor issues. I would definitely recommend Iris to anyone looking for a well located, high spec 2 bed cottage in St Ives.

Beautiful cottage in a great location
Iris is a truly lovely cottage that is equipped to the highest standard in a central location in St.Ives. The inside of the cottage looks exactly like the pictures - it is light, spacious, airy and lovingly decorated throughout. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and all the linen in the bedrooms and bathrooms was soft and dazzlingly white. There is plenty of hot water, the shower is good and the complimentary toiletries smell wonderful. The location is perfect - The Digey is centrally located but the road itself is quiet with no traffic noise. There are short and long stay car parks within a few minutes walk - but be aware these are very busy - even in April - so it is best to use the guaranteed parking space provided (about a 15 minute walk away). We visited St.Ives whilst indoor dining was not allowed so can’t comment on the restaurants except to say that you must book weeks in advance to get a table either at lunchtime or during the day. St.Ives itself is very picturesque, there are art galleries on every corner and the beaches are covered in golden sand - due to the cobbled streets and the hills, I’d suggest it’s not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet. We had a really enjoyable stay at Iris in St.Ives and would certainly seek to rebook here on our next visit to St.Ives

Long Weekend in St Ives
We loved our stay in Iris. We are a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 6. The cottage is beautifully done. The beds are super comfy. The living area is big and light and the kitchen a very nice size. The location of the property is fantastic. Right in the centre of St Ives being only a couple of minutes walk from Porthmeor beach and the harbour. I would definitely want to come back.

Beautiful Iris
We stayed in Iris for 5 days for an Autumn getaway to St Ives. A beautiful base for our break, centrally located for the beaches, shops and restaurants.
A very tastefully decorated cottage, so comfortable and clean and everything you need for your stay is provided, including a welcome pack which meant we could settle in with a cup of tea and a biscuit after a long journey.
The lovely courtyard is gated so our Grandson who was staying in Wella, could play safely and run between the cottages.
Although the secure car parking is a mile away, we were glad it was provided as even though we stayed out of season, the local pay and display car parks were full. (worth the distance for peace of mind that you have a guaranteed parking space).
A very relaxing break in beautiful surroundings, we wish it could have been longer!

Beautiful property in a central location
We hugely enjoyed our stay at Iris, the property is beautifully finished with excellent attention to detail. The location is very central with quick access to the beach and the town. We hope to return one day. Thanks for a lovely week.

Beautiful Accomodation in centre of St Ives
We had the most gorgeous stay at Iris in early March. Upon entering the accommodation we decided we would be perfectly happy if the weather stayed rainy and we had to bunker down in cottage for the whole week! The interiors and spaces have been really carefully thought out, whilst you feel like you are staying in luxury (the beds are amazing) the cottage still has a comfortable and homely feel. The kitchen is really well equipped and we enjoyed gathering our supplies from the local deli. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring the town, a short distance from the Tate, Hepworth, harbour and shops. The cottage was spotlessly clean, light and airy. It really is a hidden gem and we will highly recommend!

Superb property, great location, fantastic beaches and restaurants!
Very cosy cottage with plenty of space and immaculately clean. A variety of beaches with fantastic views only a stone throw away. We dinned out every night and every restaurant was great, would highly recommend the loft! The private parking was very useful as there is limited parking elsewhere. Thank you for a memorable stay, we will definitely be returning in the future.

Fantastic property in a great location
It is easier to identify the bad parts (of which there were few). 1st was parking, I'm not walking a mile to park and ended up parking in the nearest paying car park. Cleanliness wasn't A1, there was a bag of rubbish in the hallway when we got there and the work tops/floor could have done with a more thorough clean. The rest of the accommodation really was perfect and I am only leaving these comments to help the owner to improve the experience. The location was excellent and the interaction with owner and manager was always good hearted and efficient. I would recommend this property without hesitation.
