This is a great house and the hosts were lovely and kind and have done all the right things to make it welcoming BUT the kitchen needs some serious attention and the whole house needs a hard clean. The dishwasher doesn't clean, the kitchen tap is sticky so you get blasted with water no matter how careful you try to be, the cooker goes off if you turn the gas low and you will need to pack matches as the ignition only works on one ring. Don't use any shelves or windowsills to put things on as they are covered with engrained old grease. The top floor has a moth problem- we saw dozens- and one bathroom had a silverfish. There was an bit of chewed gum and an old cotton bud on a shelf in one shower and previous guests rubbish under a bed. Nothing felt clean. But Brilliant location Lovely big airy rooms w high ceilings and some nice views Good TV w Netflix and an xbox Nice big dining table Hallway night lights WiFi boosters to the top of the house Not covered in "do this / don't do this" signs Nice welcome box of jam biscuits and prosecco etc But just so dirty that we didn't really feel we could relax.

We were very satisfied with the property. There were a few minor issues. We needn't have contacted the owner about extra bedding if we had found the 6th bedroom sooner - I suppose we were a bit slow on the uptake! Larder space in the kitchen was limited. the cooks would have liked a mixer. A couple of lamps didn't work. Nevertheless a great house for a holiday. Thank you.

A great house for an extended family holiday ages 1-93! Very comfortable beds and everything you need in the bedrooms together with a very well equipped kitchen. Buckets and spades and beach towels also provided. A short walk to Porthminster Beach as well as easy access to the town. We walked everywhere and not too far for the four year olds especially with the reward of an ice cream! Good meals at Pothmeor cafe and Harbour by the lifeboat station.

The house was exactly what was advertised, in a perfect location with amazing veiws. Only a 2 min walk to the beach, Harbour and town. We had a lovely hamper on arrival, watch out for the hidden room, that was alot of fun to find. Lovely Art throughout the house and very spacious, would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

The location, sea views and amenities were just as advertised but we were truly impressed on arrival by the capaciousness of this airy house. Each room was generously proportioned and our large party – including a three-year-old and a 93-year old – was very comfortably accommodated.

Just come back from a wonderful holiday at the Organic Panda in St Ives. The location was just perfect for us as a family. Once the cars were parked we didn’t use them for the entire week! We were able to walk to all the local beaches, shops, restaurants and the Sloop. The house was very well equipped and comfortable for our large family group. We particularly appreciated the welcome food hamper and Prosecco filled with everything you need to get you started. The home owner was very easy to communicate with and knowledgeable by recommending a few restaurants which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to the wonderful St Ives.

A wonderful place where our family gathered to celebrate my husband’s 60th! Lots of cooking, enjoying the view and walking the many paths of beautiful St. Ives. Everything we wanted!❤️

Great location and lots of space. No one had been in to clean for a while so rather dusty and drains smelt. Otherwise very nice place and thanks for the welcome pack.

The house is great and perfect for myself and 10 others who spent the week in St Ives for a wedding. The location is perfect with sea views, and only a 5minute walk into town and 10mins to the front. Great outdoor seating area, although a bit more space and a couple more outside seats would have been good.

Well equipped house for families sharing this beautiful house. Amazing views from the bedrooms and having 2 parking spaces is a real bonus. This is our 3rd year visiting the house and we hope to continue to come for many years to come.

A wonderful home to gather with friends and enjoy the delights of the beautiful St. Ives. The house was perfect for the 12 of us. We all loved it, it was warm and homely with plenty of room for all. The hidden bedroom was a hit with the younger generation and lots of fun trying to find, a great idea! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, full of treats, healthy ones too! Perfect location for all we wanted to do. We couldn't fault it. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Great family friendly property and perfect location.

Stunning house with lots of space Fantastic location for beaches and town centre Only downside bathrooms were well used with mould growth around the showers this was the only reason for not rating 5 stars

Amazing holiday

Fantastic house and art gallery rolled into one. What a perfect place to enjoy the St Ives art experience. Added fun were the mysteries of the hidden den and cutlery drawer! Great location for popping in and out of town without the need for a car.

We were a party of 10 ladies celebrating our 50th birthdays. Every bedroom is lovely, communal space downstairs spacious, light and airy with amazing artwork. Would definitely book again and recommend for a large party of people. (PS. Took us a while to find it - the cutlery draw is under the sink!!)

Very well equipped, warm, lots of space, and well situated.

We all had a great time in St Ives and the house was lovely with spectacular views. Thanks very much and we hope to return some time.

We loved this house - we had 5 children in our party of 12 (there's plenty of room!) and the house was really geared to them - a particularly nice touch was the sandcastle mould and the amazing, large leather bean bag in the living room. This was permanently occupied by most of them throughout the week. Lots to do in St Ives and the surrounding countryside, but it was always nice to come back to the house at the end of the day. We would strongly recommend it.

The Organic Panda is a wonderful house and we had a great week there. The accommodation was perfect for our family - 4 en suite bedrooms out of 6 really helped. It was beautifully clean when we arrived, and there was a loaded hamper of food awaiting us, tea, coffee, milk and butter in the fridge, a bottle of bubbly and flowers on the table. Nothing was too much trouble for Wendy (and her husband) who look/s after the house. She is a treasure! Location is excellent - about a 10 minute, downhill, walk into the town and, ditto, to the beach (2 mins - hmm!). I would only single out 2 things to comment on. We hadn't realised that there was no loo on the ground floor. For an able bodied family this shouldn't be a problem but for my elderly mother it was a bit of an inconvenience! Could one be squeezed in under the stairs? The other thing, which I feel needs resolving, is that all the sash windows in the lounge and dining area were painted up so we couldn't open them to get any fresh air. It didn't affect us unduly the week we were there, as the weather was cool, but a week later, when the temperature shot up, it would have been unbearable. With my mother there we spent a lot of time in the house. If a top and a bottom sash could be opened 6" in each room, it would make all the difference. Everywhere else in the house, the windows opened adequately. All the bedrooms are bright and airy and the 2 main front bedrooms on the 1st floor and the double on the 2nd floor have stunning views of the sea. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is lots of beach stuff to borrow. Contact with the owner was instant, on every occasion, and he was extremely helpful. It's a really lovely house and I highly recommend it.
