Cottage is perfect for a couple or a family as there are 2 bedrooms. Kitchen is fully equipped, and bedrooms are comfortable and very cute. Books and DVDs are in abundance. Cottage is just steps away from all the shops and restaurants and also near the harbour. We had a great stay and the tiny problems we had were instantly addressed. I would definitely stay again!

Such a perfect cosy, light, stunningly beautiful cottage. The garden is gorgeous and obviously well loved and it’s in the perfect quiet spot really close to the town and harbour beaches. Thank you for an unforgettable stay, we’ll definitely be back.

We had a perfect stay at Garden Cottage which is the most beautiful place we’ve stayed in St Ives so far. It’s in such a perfect location, so close to the middle of the town and all the beaches but it’s so quiet and peaceful there. The light was beautiful in the cottage and the conservatory was a lovely sunny warm place to eat with its underfloor heating. We were so lucky with the weather that we sat out in the garden with our morning coffee looking down to the harbour and across to Godrevy. We loved every bit of our stay and will definitely be coming back to our lovely home from home.

We really loved staying at this dear cottage. Rachel is a caring and attentive host. It is very convenient and the property was lovely and clean. Our bed was very comfortable, our son also slept well in his bed. Fabulous views greet you in the morning from the bedroom windows and the ground floor has a spacious feel with a wonderful conservatory where we enjoyed our breakfast. We certainly would recommend staying here and would return again.

We loved the wonderful quirky cottage, a really peaceful and pretty place to come back to each day. We loved the gorgeous garden which was wonderful to have breakfast in. Lovely to meet Rachael - we have admired her etchings for years and how nice for the cottage to be full of them. A really perfect and happy holiday xxx

Our stay in Rachael's lovely holiday home impressed us so much that when we later moved to a cottage in Cornwall we changed it's name to Garden Cottage to bestow it with a happy vibe.

Beautiful airy cottage that looks just like its pictures. Hard to believe such an inventive use of space — and a pretty garden. Central to everything, with a short steep walk home, perfect for mitigating dinner at another St Ives restaurant. Strongest memory is of the light, from the conservatory with heated floor to skylit bathroom. What a lovely nest for exploring St Ives, its galleries and the Tate.

We have just returned home after our second week's stay at Garden Cottage, St Ives. Last year, we spent a week there in late September, and were bowled over by how warm, cosy and inviting our holiday accommodation turned out to be. St Ives. Right from opening the front door, we felt very much at home. Garden Cottage has everything needed to make your holiday special. There is a lovely conservatory to sit in if the weather is a little drizzly or chilly, and outside there is a beautiful garden with a decked area at the bottom which gives views over the rooftops of St Ives to the sea in the distance. The perfect place to while away an afternoon reading the papers, or for an early evening glass of vino before heading out for supper. If you feel like staying in though, there are comfy sofas, a well equipped kitchen, both underfloor and central heating, which would entice even the most ardent of holidaymakers to spend a night in watching the TV. Another real bonus for staying at Garden Cottage is its location - being just a few steps away from the main shopping streets of St Ives, the waterfront, and spectacular views out to sea. Garden Cottage is serene, calm and quiet however - there were no problems getting a good night's sleep!
