The cottage has all the facilities you need it was beautiful. The location is fantastic, a stroll from the centre where your spoilt for choice to eat/drink looking over the harbour…if it’s a beach you want then Porthgwidden and Porthminster are both short walks and perfect for everyone, my 3 year old grandson had the best time.

Beautiful Cottage in a great location. An amazing place to stay lovely attention to detail, Betty's Cottage was both welcoming and comfortable. The secure parking was certainly an added bonus. This wa our second visit to St Ives and our 1st at Betty's Cottage, hopefully not our last. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Excellent location , great to have a secure parking place. Ideal for 3 or 4 people

The property is a small beach cottage that is perfect for a couple or a couple with 1-2 small kids. Walkable to center of town with co-op grocery and laundry facility less than 5 min away. Parking space is nearby and situated such that it is easy to use your car to explore Cornwall. Only thing I would say is that shower is small and ceilings low so this place would feel tight if you are a large person and some of the layout is a bit tricky if you were older and less sure footed. Hosts are experienced and check/check out is easy and they have instructions for everything.

Lovely property- private parking was a good benefit.
Listing says it sleeps 4 with 1 queen size bed (which was lovely- I slept like a log) and 2 bunk beds. Just be aware that the top bunk bed is small - we didn’t need it as there were only 2 of us, but it would really only be big enough for a small child.
We had a fabulous time - the cottage is perfectly located just 5 minutes walk to the beaches and less than 1 minute to the nearest pub! What more do you need 😀

We spent 5 nights in St Ives and really enjoyed the convenience and comfort of this cozy cottage. Although it is compact, it comfortably accommodated two of us with a bright living space and its location close to the waterfront. We really enjoyed the dedicated parking space to make day trips around the area.

A neat cottage minutes away from the heart of St.Ives.
Ideal location to enjoy all that the town has to offer.

We have stayed in many places in St Ives and this was one of the nicest. It had all the facilities that we needed and more, the decor was beautiful and the cottage was immaculate. The bedding was so clean and the bed so comfy. The location was great, more or less central St Ives and having the parking so near was great. Thank you for a lovely stay, would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Betty’s. It had some lovely cosy touches & was very tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed as a family of four and would love to return again!

On approach to the cottage I was dismayed to see the gutters overflowing with weeds etc. This, I thought, does not bode well. However, the inside was nice and jolly with plenty of seaside themed pictures and assorted sculptures. The furnishings were in very good order, and the variety of lighting options good. The dining table had bench seats - fine for breakfast but not too relaxing of an evening.
The beds are comfortable - one large double, two singles in a bunk style. Plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The bathroom has a nice bath, but the shower is tiny; the water though was good and hot. A problem we find in most lets, as in this one, is a lack of shelf space in the bathroom, and there is space for some tiered racks in the corners. Nice towels. No shower gel.
The kitchen had only six mugs. There was no washing up liquid and no dishwasher tablets, not things we carry with us or would buy on a short break.
Betty's Cottage, although beside a road, is in an excellent position being close to everything you will need - beach, shops, bus stop, taxis, cinema, pubs and restaurants.
We thought it in need of a little TLC to bring it back to the five star cottage we're sure it once was, but nevertheless a nice place to stay.

This was a lovely cottage with everything I needed to be self sufficient while visiting St. Ives. The hosts were very responsive to my last minute questions about where to by groceries and how to access the cottage and secure parking. While the cottage is on a main road, the road noise was insignificant it was absolutely quiet overnight.
4.9
Lovely little cottage with everything we needed for a few nights away. Good location, 1-minute walk from the main shopping streets and 2 minutes from the quay. Everything was accurately advertised and the owners responded very quickly to texts. Free secure parking space was an added bonus. No complaints.

Really cosy house in a great location just a few minutes from the harbour and all the beaches. A parking space just up the road is a massive bonus when staying in St Ives. No problems encountered and we'll come again.

Another lovely stay. We had the best week! We love this cottage as it ticks all the boxes for us. We stayed here with our 2 yr old previously and came back this time with her as an 8 yr old and our 5 yr old. The kids loved the room set up and it was well equipped for our stay as a family of young children. Great communication from owners who go above and beyond. The added bonus of a secure car park space is amazing, a rare thing in st ives! We visit st ives regularly and love the location of the cottage. Away from the hustle of the main area but a super easy 5 min walk. Great location for all the beaches and in walking distance to all.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

Me, my husband and our 3 children came to stay at Betty's cottage for a long weekend getaway in our favourite place, St Ives. Perfect location to all amenities, restaurants & bars.

We literally couldn't fault our stay here, it was the most picture perfect little cottage and our getaway has been dreamy. Also, the parking is a very big added bonus!
