About this house rental

Hillside is a beautifully renovated and generously proportioned Victorian townhouse that comfortably sleeps 6 (8 using the sofa bed), located in the very heart of St.Ives. Internally, high ceilings adorn the property which has 3 bedrooms, all of which feature fully lined blackout curtains, with the addition of stylish sustainably sourced teak shutters in Bedrooms One and Two.

The house also boasts 4 bathrooms, 3 of which are en-suite to the 3 double bedrooms and all feature high quality fittings by Italian designers Porcelanosa. As well as 2 separate living areas on the ground and first floor and a stunning large, private rear garden with sun terrace (a real rarity in St. Ives), there is also a private balcony to the bedroom at the top of the property affording wonderful views to the harbour, the Island and Atlantic Ocean.

Conveniently, Hillside also comes with its own private parking space in a gated, private car park directly opposite the house - a rarity in St Ives.

A double entrance leads to a bright and airy hallway featuring polished marble monochrome tiles. Bedroom One, immediately off the hallway, is a beautifully tranquil and spacious room comprising a double bed, large bay window with floor to ceiling double-glazed sash windows and shutters. This leads to an large ensuite bathroom complete with glass-fronted shower.

The adjacent Bedroom Two faces the rear of the house with views over the St. Ives rooftops, provides flexible sleeping accommodation and comprises a double bed, which can be separated to form two single beds if required. This bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom with a large bath and accompanying shower.

Continuing along the hallway is another bathroom, with a glass-framed rainforest shower. Beyond lies the Garden Room - a gorgeous and peaceful living space affording views over the rear garden and the harbour beyond making it an ideal place to watch TV, read a good book or simply admire the view. A sofa bed enables this room to be utilised as a fourth bedroom if required taking the total number of potential guests to 8.

Upstairs leads to a landing and onto the main living area - the entire floor is open plan with a dining and living space that benefits from dual aspect windows which let the light flow in, but framed by floor to ceiling shutters to afford privacy as needed. The state-of-the- art open plan kitchen-diner seats 8 comfortably and features Siemens appliances throughout, as well as touches such as Dualit kettle and toaster, a wine fridge and Nespresso maker..

The living area features comfy seating and an ultra HDTV with surround sound and Apple TV. Technology at Hillside also includes WiFi and a Sonos wireless sound-system throughout the property.

Back on the landing, which also houses a w/c, a door opens to reveal a spiral staircase that leads up to the top floor and one of the house's best assets - Bedroom Three, in the eaves, with a double bed and en suite bathroom. Externally, a glass balcony can be accessed from the bedroom's glass double doors to afford a spectacular panoramic view of St. Ives harbour, the Island and the ocean beyond.

To the rear is the large fully enclosed garden - a special place and a real rarity in St Ives. Accessed via a spiral staircase from the Garden Room, it features two substantial decked areas with comfortable seating and dining areas - one nearest the house and another at the end of the garden under the pergola with pendant Edison lights, allowing you to enjoy the long summer evenings in the privacy of your own outdoor living space, with an adjacent firebowl. There is ample room to enjoy dining al fresco, with table, chairs and parasol and a Weber Grillmaster BBQ. The garden can also be illuminated with spotlights focused on the 3 palm trees in the central planting areas.

We have had the best week at Hillside with our 2 teenage children. Stunning big property with all the mod cons. Very comfortable lounge area both on the middle floor and the garden room on the ground floor. The garden is beautiful addition to the properties that you find in St Ives. Fantastic location to both the beach and town. We would not hesitate to stay here again, it is a real credit to the owners.

All in all we enjoyey our stay very much. The house was clean and a great location. There was a huge dissapointment: One of we reason we chose the house because on your website it sait that it has a beautiful garden and we very much look forward to it. Unfortunately it was impossible to sit outside due to the mess from the segals. Either the landlord needs to improve the garden with the better garden covering over both sitting areas or he should not advertise it the way he did. The garden needs same tlc.

Treacherous spiral staircase to garden and top bedroom. Third bedroom under eaves completely. Bathrooms tiny and only two showers. Sitting room functional but not comfortable for lounging. Standard of fit out basic. Good location fortunately and we had good weather so we were out for most of the time. Have had other properties in st Ives for similar budgets that were much better. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Great property very well located in the centre of town and walking distance to beaches. Property well set out and everything you need for a stay including a bottle of prosecco and clotted cream scones on arrival. Great to have a parking space and outdoor seating area. Mark and property managers were very helpful during our stay, will definitely like to stay again

Wonderful second week at Hillside. Having warm and sunny weather we were able to enjoy the lovely outside area and bbq, and beautiful Porthminster beach which is just five minutes away. Getting a mid stay clean was much appreciated. A big thank you to the lady who carried out that job fantastically.

We had a fantastic first week at Hillside. It easily accommodated our large group and being able to sit out in the lovely garden was a big plus. The house had everything we needed for cooking/beach etc and having parking just over the road made it so much easier. Location great as well. Far enough away from the crowds but just a short walk to the shops/restaurants and front. If we came back to St Ives we would definitely stay at Hillcrest again :)
