    “Don’t stay here, everything about it is budget and I’m surprised it is on Sykes as we have always had excellent rentals in the past.”

    It is shabby, poorly looked after, uncomfortable. Shower room describe as modern but reminds me of 1980s. Back garden is unsafe, not nice to use. Front balcony handle broken so you can access it which is good because the balcony railings are broken so definite risk. Every glass looks like it has been taken from the pub! Best thing about the property is the view unfortunately the windows are covered in birds mess so a real shame - maybe invest in a window cleaner? We slept there and left ...

We slept there and left with a bad back due to the poor quality of beds. Would not recommend at all and will be following up with Sykes customer service team

About the location

ST IVES

Penzance 6 miles.

One of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, St Ives offers narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination!
