About this apartment rental

Valentine Cottage is a luxurious apartment formed from two storeys of an old fisherman’s cottage in the old ‘down along’ part of St Ives, set among cobbled streets and moments from two fabulous beaches. Finished to a high standard, Valentine Cottage makes an ideal base for a ‘proper’ St Ives holiday in summer or winter (the wood burning stove will keep you very cosy!). With one double and one twin room it works equally well for a family or as a romantic getaway for a couple.

The cottage is nice & well located-however when we arrived it appeared to have a large bluebottle infestation-we sprayed & sprayed fly spray but the place smelt of it -so we had the front door open constantly because of that &the flies which meant 2/3 males who were next door used to stand outside our door and smoke constantly & drop their cigarette ends outside the door-I cleaned up some but as none of us smoke it was unpleasant. Then the host emailed asking if we smoked in the property-& was quite rude about it. I was furious-no we didnt smoke in the property but rather than say something negative I didn’t reply-to which I had another abrupt email from him. Which again I ignored-I am writing this now as Vrbo have asked me too. The cottage itself was nice albeit very old but the host was unpleasant in his accusations. So for that reason I have marked it down I didn’t smoke in the f

We had a lovely holiday here, the cottage is literally a stones throw from Porthgwidden and Porthmeor beach and so ideal for walking down in your swim stuff and surfing. Cottage is small but this is the nature of the fishermans cottages in St Ives and adds to the charm. The only constructive criticism I would give is that there were only 3 large plates and a couple of small ones so we couldn't all eat peoperly together, also a caffetiere would have been nice to have for coffee. :)

The apartment is nice and clean and contains everything you need, e.g. dishwashing liquid, salt (in the kitchen) and even sand toys for the youngest (in the cupboard upstairs). Thanks for hosting us - gladly again!

A small house, two levels of a three storey terrace at "the island" end of St Ives. Really close to the harbour front, the Hepworth gallery and the Tate. Beds upstairs. One double, and one two singles. Cramped, but workable. The staircase is not suitable for anyone with significant mobility issues. Good kitchen, small but workable living room. Furniture is run down and shabby but nothing you can't live with. Carparking closeby is packed, you need luck or 20minutes patience to wait for a spot but once found, the flat is three houses away. If you don't like run down Furniture, quirky rooms, low ceilings and character, this isn't for you. If you cannot negotiate a steep narrow staircase, this isn't for you. If you can handle this, its a really good house for St Ives Central.

It’s a bit of a nightmare to get to the property by car,due to the town beI got closed to cars etc till 4 then it’s mad. So you can’t really move your car once parked because you know you can’t drive back between 11-4. Getting to the property the instructions are out of date so we were looking for the hotel to turn right at, no hotel now by that name. When we did get to the cottage. Getting the key was easy however, opening the door was another thing it’s a round door handle and extremely hard to turn. It came to the point I called matt to say we couldn’t get in, but no answer and no reply back. We eventually got in. The cottage is in need of some tlc, the sofas are dirty and ripped. There no mention on listing that there’s an appt above the bedrooms with a balcony outside the double bedroom window so this was very noisy at times as was all the banging about from above. Don’t leave anything out and about in the kitchen as ants are everywhere even got into my freezer bag. I placed bread in the bread bin, went to use day after, covered in ants!!!! The location of the apartment for getting into st ives is brilliant. But in future I’d look for somewhere that had parking and nothing above the bedrooms and no ants
