We had originally booked to go abroad like many others in the country and rescheduled to our favourite place! We have stayed in and around St Ives many times previously, so know the area well. Overall this is a fantastic property and would defiantly recommend it to friends and family. The rooms are of a good size, and most have en suits or access to there own bathroom-this is a real plus with kids! The property is child friendly- we went with a 5, 2 and 4 month old. There are pots and pans etc for all your cooking needs and also a bbq. My dad is a big BBQer-the only part was the utensils-more bbq utensils would be useful (plastic ones present). We had 4 cars parked at the property this is a real plus for St ives, as anyone who has been will tell you parking is a nightmare. Overall the property was very clean, sheets/bedding and towels provided. The plus is their is a washer and dryer too! The only downside was the cooker hood was dusty and an old shaver head left in one of the main bathroom showers. We have stayed in many of large houses before-which we have used for family get togethers. This was a pricey stay, but then St Ives overall is pricey. Previously in houses like this, we have been welcomed with a welcome pack/hamper-Rocky close didn’t have this-often I think it’s a nice touch when you arrive especially if your new to the area or arrive late etc. There is a caravan park just below rocky close-this didn’t cause us any problems and was a good distance to not have any noise disturbance. St Ives is a very hilly place-if you struggle with hills I wouldn’t recommend st ives. Rocky Close is about a 10-15 min walk with kids down to the beach-i would recommend one of those pull along things to put stuff in-as you stand no chance of parking by the beach for those with larger family’s and lots of stuff. The beaches and shops etc though are lovely and st Ives is a good distance to most places :) Would I stay again......absolutely! Thanks for a lovely stay :)

We had a lovely time staying at Rocky Close with four adults and three small children. The location and views are truly wonderful and the house is comfortable, spacious and practical. Some aspects of the decor/furnishings are in need of a little updating, but I believe a refurb is scheduled for autumn/winter 2018. A bigger grassed area in the garden and better paved driveway would be nice, but overall it fitted the bill perfectly for us and I would definitely recommend it.
