Trevose

We had such a lovely time staying here.

In short, it's all about the location and the view - both of which are pretty much unbeatable. It's only a short (but fairly steep) walk directly down to the beach which makes Tevose such an ideal base for a family holiday. There is everything you need in the apartment so you can self-cater for the duration of your stay should you choose to do so. Parking is also available on the street outside via a digital permit - we reversed down the street as it is a little narrow - but it's such a boon having parking available when it's at such a premium in town. We definitely recommend Tevose and would recommend it anybody. Thank you for having us stay, we're genuinely grateful, and we hope to return one day.

Lovely apartment in a great location

Es ist ein altes Haus in traumhafter Lage.

Einiges knarrt, aber der Blick auf die Bucht von St. Ives kann nicht schöner sein. Die Wohnung ist an vielen Stellen recht eng. Insbesondere ist das Doppelbett sehr schmal und der Weg herum nur ca. 20cm breit. Die Wohnung war sauber und es war alles Wichtige vorhanden. Wäscheständer und Haken für Handtücher fehlen. Das klapprige und rostige Teil auf de Badewanne bitte nicht nutzen. Hat unsere Kleidung beschädigt. Parken in der Straße ist aufregend. Alles sehr eng und steil. Und es ist nicht sicher, ob man überhaupt einen Platz bekommt. Ein kurzer, aber steiler Weg vom oder zum Bahnhof. Die Anreise per Bahn ist zu empfehlen. Der gleiche Weg führt zum Strand mit toller Strandbar. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants zu Fuß erreichbar.

The view and outlook are exceptional.

The flat was everything we could have hoped for given the location and the price. I'd highly recommend it to anyone else and we were extremely happy with our stay.

Pictures don’t do the place justice, fantastic location overall perfect.

Will be returning.

Had the most amazing time, the accommodation was absolutely superb and the views were priceless.

Will definitely be booking again. If I had to be picky, the shower water pressure occasionally dropped especially if had just been used. Apart from that 100% satisfaction

Great host, great property and amazing location.

Had a wonderful stay at Trevose with my two children aged 18 and 20.

From the first moment we entered, I couldn't believe the view. It's better then the pictures give credit for and is the best I have had in St Ives in all my visits. Porthminster beach 5 mins away and the centre of town easily in 15-20 mins. Very comfortable apartment and nicely equipped with Jacuzzi bath and good shower. Only used the kitchen for breakfast as we ate out, but all there for those who prefer the self catering split. We would happily return to stay and will do!

Our second stay here and it is a lovely apartment with stunning views.

We love that it is a very short stroll to the beautiful beach and on into the town. The property is very clean and we were welcomed with a delicious cream tea. Parking is not guaranteed but we were prepared this time and we also had no internet but the property manager was very responsive and it was resolved.

Amazing property and other worldly view!

Great spot to watch the sun rise over the ocean...if you can be awake that early. Well worth every penny. Designated parking would be helpful as there was a complaint from another holiday renter (not local basically). They did not mount the kerb to park and came to us complaining that we should not park outside the property we rented as she couldn't get through. A local resident said after the incident occurred that we were in the right to park where we did and she should have mounted the kerb like everyone else. Designated parking or clear signs/instructions on parking will help avoid this incident occurring for future renters I feel. The fridge and freezer space were limited. Should've we have wanted to stay for a week for example, it would've been a slight struggle. Only fault I can think of I had to find a fault.

It’s a very nice little flat but is quite small.

As we were staying for 9 nights and my husband can’t go out much we had ordered food to cook. I was disappointed that the fridge was so tiny with no freezer compartment and there was no washing machine but I may have just assumed it would have them. Unusual in a holiday flat. Bedrooms are very nice and comfortable. Amazing views and good location from town.Also very quiet apart from the dogs downstairs!

Lovely and comfortable property in a great location with incredible views, although could do with a little TLC here and there.

Would recommend a clear out of duplicate and / or mismatched kitchenware, e.g. no need for 8 chopping boards, 6 x empty tea, coffee, sugar tins etc. It would free up plenty cupboard space and give a far greater feel of a clean, well kept holiday home. Would recommend improved WiFi too. One of the two windows in the lounge area seems jammed and the blind in the twin bed room is broken. With just a few tweaks this would easily be a solid 5-star property to stay at but regardless of the minor observations, would absolutely recommend and consider staying again.

Top floor view from Trevose is to die for!

Fabulous view from living room, great location away from the main town.

Facilities great for a couple. Milk, tea and biscuits provided but a spare toilet roll would have been welcome! The stairs were a challenge with two suitcases but worth it for the views!

The photos of St.

Ives from the lounge seemed to good to be true; they were not. This break was everything we wanted and more. A fabulous property that we would love to return to on our next trip to St. Ives.

Trevose is a really lovely apartment with absolutely amazing views across Porthminster beach to St Ives harbour.

Brilliant location for beach, and short walk along the front into town. Sue, the owner was really helpful and kind with organising the booking, and I would definitely rebook again given the opportunity. Many thanks.

We found the expectation that we would leave the property by 9am und could not arrive before 5pm unreasonable.

Nice apartment with lovely view.

Good position and had everything in it you might need. Even binoculars. On top floor so a lot of flights of stairs Beds very firm so not comfy and double bed very high so tricky if you are a shorty. Wasn’t impressed with the list sent to us on the last day, strip beds wash all pots and put away, empty bins and take rubbish round back of apartments to bin…..etc washing own pots is a given but the rest I would have thought to be duties of the employed cleaner, after all this is meant to be holiday!!!!

Firstly the view is amazing!

!! The flat is well appointed and close to the beach. We have some complaints: 1. Parking - it is not clear from the description that there is no designated parking. You park anywhere on the road and there is no guarantee of a spot. 2. Blinds- do not function. We were unable to have privacy in the bedrooms day or night! 3. Window living room- we were unable to use the right window as the handle is failing off. I did ring Sykes about the parking for advice on arrival but was told to fill in a web form but we could not access this. We were disappointed Sykes did not follow-up my call and my email. We will question using Sykes again. We would definitely visit Trevose if the issues were dealt with. The view/location is fabulous.

Although in general we were very pleased with Trevose we were not happy that there was no extra toilet paper, no soap and no paper towel provided.

We would have liked to have had an information package regarding bus frequencies, distances to town, recommendations for good local restaurants etc. Small things but they make all the difference. Also, negotiating the parking and driving out on to the busy main road was quite a challenge. But the house was very well equipped( apart from the toilet paper !) and comfortable.

Beautiful apartment in a spectacular location

Gorgeous view, nice relaxing holiday

Had a great stay in the apartment with the added benefit of superb views over the beach.

Location was excellent - very close to St Ives and the railway station.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Apartments was situated in a great location. Very clean and well maintained. If I was to have any criticism, it would be that the appliances were dated.

Another fabulous time at this amazing property Difficult to do justice to the position and amazing views from this apartment ~far enough away from the town to feel distanced but just a few minutes walk and you are on the beach !

Amazing value for money

The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed.

The view was fantastic and we spent many a happy hour just watching boats and on one memorable occasion - dolphins

Absolutely superb accommodation.

..words cannot do justice to this property with its breathtaking views across St Ives and the bay...Great facilities and first class maintenance ..Absolutely spotless ...would throughly recommend for any time of the year

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Albany Terrace.

Great location. The house was well equipped and beds very comfy. Would recommend this house for a great family get together with 6 bedrooms.

We were informed by the owner during our stay that the only toilet had a leak from the foul sewer pipe in the bathroom.

The plumber had been organised to fix on Wednesday of our stay, this we obliged. This was not repaired correctly and the liquid and gas leakage was 10 times worse. We advised the owner who did not respond, because of the stench we left early on Thursday, advising the owner! For a £1200 holiday this was a serious mistake and we would expect a partial refund. We would not recommend this holiday.

We loved the apartment.

Location couldn’t have been better, the views were incredible. I can honestly say probably the best in St Ives. Only a short walk to Porthminster beach, then onwards into the main part of town. We liked being slightly out of town but not too far away. The best of both worlds. We were sent a comprehensive information pack from Sue the owner before arriving explaining everything to help provide easy use of the apartment. The flat facilities were perfect for our stay and being able to park in front of the flat was another bonus. We will certainly be staying here again and highly recommend Trevose.

I have made a formal complaint regarding this property and evidenced the uncleanliness and lack of hygiene

The pictures of the accommodation made it seem much more spacious than it was.

The heating system was very fancy but took a long time to heat up. One of the beds in the twin room was very soft and uncomfortable, but the other was okay when I moved over. On the positive side the place was very clean, the kitchen was well provided, the view was glorious, the shower and bath were excellent and we had a very good week.

A lovely apartment with the most amazing views over St Ives.

Comfy sofa and bed which makes such a difference and all decorated to a high standard. One thing to point put is there are a number of flights of stairs ( this is advised in the information) to the apartment but this all helps to burn off the fish and chips eaten in the harbour and also you get the wonderful view so worth it.

Thankyou for the wonderful opportunity to stay in your beautiful apt.

The views were magical! We enjoyed the cosy luxury very much. We wouldn't hesitate to come again!

Had a brilliant stay, the apartment was beautiful, very well equipped and in a great location!

Fantastic view!

Great location for St Ives and to wander along to Carbis Bay. Owner Sue very helpful during our stay. Highly recommend this property.

The location was outstanding with a wonderful view of the beach, and access to it within minutes.

The facilities were good and premises very clean. The door lock gave us a problem trying to get in, with the key not fitting into the lock. We sought help from the local rep, but could not get an answer on his phone. After 2 hours of waiting for a reply to our phone messages, we engaged with Sykes head office who were extremely helpful in trying to locate the local rep. After around 3 hours of waiting for the rep, he appeared, pushed the key very hard into the lock and opened the door. We had some later difficulties in trying to insert the key, but did succeed in getting the key into the lock. However, the exercise was not good for our nerves. Other guests have reported the challenges of entering and leaving the road outside. It was very narrow but we had no difficulty in getting a parking slot, and it was possible to do a turn around (not a 3 point turn but something nearer 20!) This would not put us off return to the venue but we would be concerned if the lock issue was not addressed. Overall it was a lovely holiday venue, with a fantastic location and wonderful sea view view

The location of the apartment is perfect for access to the beach; walks along the coastal path; a walk in to St Ives Centre/harbour and driving in and out of town.

The view from the living room and master bedroom are worth the cost of the holiday alone.

We booked Trevose as a little mini moon following our wedding.

We love St Ives so wanted something within walking distance, which this certainly is. It is located up a large hill but you can get the bus back up from St Ives. The apartment is beautiful, and has the most incredible view. The kitchen is fully equipped and we were provided with tea, coffee, sugar and milk! (Thankyou!) We had no issues with parking, we drive a large 4x4 which was hard to turn around however it is possible! It is all unreserved permit only but we were provided with a permit for each day of our stay. We visited as a couple, there are two bedrooms with room for 4. I think 4 adults would be a squeeze but possible! however, perfect for a family! Beautiful apartment, stunning views. Thankyou.

The apartment provides fantastic views from the main bedroom and living area.

The apartment is equipped with everything you need and the location is ideal a 10 to 15 minute walk into town and only a couple of minutes to the beach.

Great location, with fantastic views and easy access to the beach.

Portminster beach is lovely and the facilities and beach restaurant itself is very good if you do manage to get a table. Parking can be hard work due to the narrow street but we always found a spot. Flat was clean and the host was very responsive to questions. They allowed an earlier check in as flat was cleaned ahead of schedule which was good of them to communicate. Flat is small however, especially for a family of 4, with no dishwasher and kitchen could do with an upgrade. It wasn't that comfortable for a night in cooking dinner for the family. The bathroom is more functional and kids enjoy the jet bath. The views and location is main benefit of the flat in our opinion. Overall a pleasant stay with great access to the beach but given the price for a weeks stay would have liked a bit more room and smarter facilities. I guess that's what you get in St Ives for August prices especially in 2021 though.

We all really enjoyed our stay at Trevose, the views over Portminster beach/harbour are amazing!

Parking was great, a little narrow heading down along the terrace but thats Cornwall for you. Apartment was clean, airy, and light but could do with shutters/blackout blinds though (we forgot ours and paid the price of having to wrap a t-shirt around eyes from 4am onwards). There is limited room for cooking as the kitchen area is quite small, that said it was large enough for 3 on a couple of occasions. Also dining was tight (pull out table and chairs) but you can get round this with moving the sofa (its light enough). Review may sound negative, it shouldn’t be read that way, we really enjoyed it here, just a couple of small comments thats all. Perfect location also, close to beach and to edge of St Ives for a quick drive off. We would defo come back again

Absolutely fabulous apartment.

Beautiful views. Just one grievance! You really do need to add that the road is very steep and narrow. You either have to reverse down or back up as there is no room to turn a car around unless you have a small car! I had to pay and park in the Leisure Centre car park as you have very little chance of parking in the train station.

The apartment location was fantastic, but there is a lack of attention to detail and the customer service is really poor.

There was no bathmat, the TV doesn't work (or if it does, you need to give much clearer instructions), and the shower makes a really loud drilling noise whenever it's used. Plus there were instructions for a non-existent dishwasher (??). On the last night, we rang you with an issue around the hot water, and were told we'd be rung back (which didn't happen). Instead we were contacted by email by the owner and texted by 'Dave' asking us to check the heating, check the fuse box, etc. etc. About 90 mins into the rigmarole of checking everything, they both said that the plumber couldn't come out and it was our last night anyway so what did we want to do. By the way, last time I checked we paid as much for the last night as we did any other, so I wouldn't recommend you say that to other people because it's really annoying to hear. The next day I missed a call so I rang back, was on hold for an hour only to be told that you rep would talk to the owner and get back to me. Since then I've not heard anything, so you've obviously decided it's not worth it because you've got our money and that's that, hopefully I'll just go away. It's a real shame because St Ives is a wonderful place and we managed to overlook the weird stuff at the beginning and have a lovely holiday still, but you really let yourselves down with your customer service. I'm going to try to avoid you in the future because it really didn't strike me as value for money.

Totally brilliant Flawless
