“The property itself is lovely, well worth the price we paid.”
We loved the balcony, the views the sofas and beds were comfortable and everything was clean when we arrived.
There are just some little niggles that stopped it from feeling premium. They are all pretty simple to solve but would make a big difference to the user and I can’t think of anywhere I’ve stayed where I felt these things were lacking, expensive or cheap. They would elevate the experience, certainly.

None of the bathrooms had a toilet roll holder. In the en-suite, there is not a single surface to put your glasses, rings, toiletries, there’s no towel rail either. The hook behind the door is okay for a bathrobe or some clothes but I find that towels don’t dry properly if they’re put on a hook.
In the main bedroom with the en-suite, there are no plug sockets near to mirrors for hair straighteners/hairdryer, unless they were behind the furniture maybe? Perhaps an extension cable to allow guests to see the plug sockets and utilise the mirrors more.
The living room area could do with a lamp or two. We found the downlighters too harsh for the late evening and would have liked an option of more ambient lighting.
The washing machine was a bit quirky. On a cotton wash it was still going after 6 hours and hadn’t got in to the rinse cycle yet. I had to end the programme, then run rinse and spin separately. I tried a couple of other settings but ended up doing the same thing. Perhaps there’s a setting I’m not aware of? If so, some instructions nearby would be helpful.
Overall, we had a lovely time in beautiful St Ives. Thank you.
