ST IVES.
St Ives, the most famous of Cornish holiday towns, loved for generations, is easy to reach by road or by air and easy by train. Fine golden sand, crystal clear water, warmed all year round by the Gulf Stream. Awake to the gulls' cry, dress quickly and jog down the cool granite streets for a solitary early morning walk along the beach, cool sand and warm water caress your soles, tickle your toes. Life is cradled around the harbour where boats still land good catches of fresh fish for the local restaurants to nourish you with. Brought ashore on the ancient granite quays, the catch is of the highest quality for some of Britain's finest restaurants. A maze of tiny cobbled streets to wander through, lined by fishermen's cottages. In the summer there's a blaze of colour all around the town with houses smothered in baskets of blooms, parks and public areas a rich spectrum of radiant colours. The mild climate and almost frost-free winters make it possible to grow plants and shrubs normally native to semi-tropical countries hundreds of miles further south.
The Eden Project, St Michael's Mount near Penzance, The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, Lands End, The National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Paradise Park in Hayle and lovely Coastal Walks.

The property suited us fine. A bit tired in places but everything was clean and worked. The beds were a bit firm for our taste but others have found them OK. Had a great time.

family holiday
Bay View House has a lovely view over the bay. the accommodation was spotlessly clean on arrival. We could not fault it. Hopefully we will be looking to have a return visit sometime next year.

We enjoyed staying here - the views from the lounge and master bedroom are amazing! It’s only a very short ( steep) walk to Porthmeor Beach and down into StIves harbour and centre . The rubbish situation needed some clarification and the kitchen , although well-equipped is quite small for a large group. All the bedrooms were well presented with comfy beds. Would definitely come again !

Old house with a lot of space. The bathrooms and kitchen could do with a refresh.

3 Generation Family holiday together
We were very happy with this property. The room sizes were good and plenty of everything to use.
The only one big comment was the bins and recycling. We found that the green bin was full when we arrived so once it was collected and empty on the Thursday we put in our rubbish and it was again full for the next arrival?
The recycling which was full to over flowing in the shed did not help. This is supposed to be collected by housekeepers I guess as we were told not to put out?
The windows in the dining and lounge areas have been painted shut so we was unable to open them and with a 1 year old we could not have any doors open to let air in.
Otherwise we were pleased with our family holiday.

Great house in a fantastic position. Kitchen is small but dining room and reset of house is good for a large group. Parking is a problem as only 2 small/medium cars can fit on the property and the car park across the road is always full!

St Ives is a bustling Cornwall village in a picturesque location. Bay Watch House is well located with lovely views to the front and within a five minute walk of the beach and the town. The house with six bedrooms ,an additional sofa bed and four bathrooms was ideal for an extended family gathering. The main living room on the first floor has a great view of the bay. The kitchen is small for the size of the house but is perfectly functional. Overall a great choice for a relaxing family or group holiday.

Beautiful Seaview Property
We had a week long stay in this beautiful house, the views are incredible and if you don’t mind the steep hills the location is perfect. Within the house the rooms are laid out in such a way that all of our party of 7 had their own space, we originally booked for 9 people but 2 couldn’t make it, if they had come we would still have had plenty of room and bathrooms. Could not fault the facilities and when we did have a problem with the plumbing they were round immediately to fix it at no inconvenience to us. Highly recommended.

Our stay in March
Warm house with lovely views over the bay. Good base for local visits and sights further afield. Bedrooms a little small but lovely lounge and dining room.

Lovely big house over looking Porthminster beach.
We had a lovely week away for my mums birthday and retirement. There were 11 of us all together plenty of room, was great to have a separate room where the children could watch television.
The house is situated on a hill so you do have to walk down into town (and obviously back up) but was a good workout for the young. Nice wooden park for the kids which is close by too.
