“The floor in the kitchen is wooden so it is not as easy to clean as other materials, unfortunately there was bits in the corners and between some of the boards, the oven is huge and takes a long time to warm up so be prepared, a bit over the top for two people, the beautiful view is blocked a lot of the time by local buses, a problem the owner is trying to rectify, we found it noisy from upstairs at times over the bedroom although we weren’t aware anywhere else, I did find the steps to the bathroom a bit of a challenge but it does state this clearly.”

The apartment is very convenient and the car park is a bonus, the bed is extremely comfortable so a game of two halves really.

Mrs Hudson August 2021

“Admiral's View is in a super position, near the bus and train stations.”

The cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. The down side is the bathroom. It has clearly been added, and my husband at 5ft 10 couldn't stand upright in it. Also the conservatory leaked when it rained.

Mr Springthorpe July 2021

“We paid double what we usually pay for a one or two bedroom property but this is the worst we have stayed in.”

Both the bathroom and kitchen were below the standard we would expect. The living room and bedroom were comfortable but in need of decluttering to make space for our own belongings. Simple things like hooks for coats, or a dishwasher, would help. The property needed a deep-clean despite covid assurances.

- Mr Springthorpe, July 2021

Thank you for completing your feedback which has been discussed with the owners. The kitchen and bathroom are constantly being upgraded, with a new fridge and freezer recently being fitted in the kitchen. It was felt that as the property only sleeps two people that a dishwasher wasn't a necessity. The owner will fit some hooks for the hanging of coats and will add a chest of drawers for additional storage. The owner was surprised at your comment regarding the property needing a deep clean as previous guests comments regarding cleanliness have been positive. If you had made us or the owner aware of any issues during your stay, they would have been more than happy to try and rectify them for you. Property Owner
Mr Croucher June 2021

“The apartment was good, the view was second to none.”

The only downside for me was the steepness of the steps into the bathroom and the steps in the bathroom. I was aware there were steps but I found them more of a challenge than expected. Having said that the holiday overall was very good and Admirals View was in a prime spot it's a nice place to stay.

- Mr Croucher, June 2021

Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the steps in the bathroom were a challenge. As you are aware we do mention the steep steps in the website text, there are photographs which show the steps on the website. There is a handrail and a light which comes on automatically at the bottom of the steps. We advise that should you have any concerns that these are discussed with our Reservations Team at the time of booking. We are glad that apart from the steps, you were able to enjoy your holiday at Admiral's View. Property Owner

Great location, excellent views across the bay, apartment well equipped, we found it a bit noisy from flat above particularly late evening and early mornings, found the shower/bath very slippery could do with a rubber mat, other than that it was a great stay

- Mr Giddings, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at the apartment and the location. The owner apologises for any disturbance during your stay, as they had grandchildren staying during that week, who were early risers. A bath/shower mat will be purchased. Property Owner

Mr Cleaver May 2021

“Excellent position and the owners were very friendly and accommodating any issue we had.”

Would highly recommend Admirals View, will return soon.

Mr Killoran April 2021

“Admirals view is perfect for a short break, location ideal, facilities perfect, owners very generous and overall enjoyment really good.”

- Mr Killoran, April 2021
Mr Taylor September 2020

“This property is spacious and beautifully presented in a location that is ideal for the railway station and local buses.”

The friendly owners live above and their description of the bathroom is open and honest, we knew what we were likely to find. You have to be very careful entering and leaving via the steps from the bedroom, internally it is a problem if you are tall and you have to be constantly aware of the three different floor levels within the bathroom. Apart from the bathroom the only things that could improve this delightful property would be the provision of a dishwasher and a Sony remote control for the Sony TV to enable easy access to subtitles and the programme guide. We had a great holiday despite Covid-19.

- Mr Taylor, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send us your review of Admiral's View. We are so glad that you you found the property to be spacious and beautifully presented. I can now confirm that the TV has been upgraded. There are three steps to the en-suite and also steps in the en-suite itself and this is captured in the photographs and description. We do hope that you will return in the future. Property Owner
Mr Crooks December 2019

“This is our second visit to this property, so we knew what to expect.”

Christmas tree and decorations were a nice surprise.

“Light and spacious apartment in very convenient location with wonderful views.”

Warm and welcoming and cream tea a very thoughtful touch! Parking a real bonus.Would return.

Mrs Hetherington November 2019

“I found the booking process an absolute breeze and the communication with the house keepers Carol and Keith was fantastic!”

, they were so welcoming and thoughtful! , the place was amazing, well equipped and beautifully presented, Iv been coming to St ives for many many years and this was my first trip alone just my daughter and I , I have strongly recommended the site to my family and friends and will be using them again in th near future

Mr Nolan November 2019

“Location superb definitely be back to St Ives in the summer.”

- Mr Nolan, November 2019
Mr Norris September 2019

“Lovely apartment, bathroom let it down,looks good but although told about the steps to bathroom not told how steep they were.”

Also bathroom on three levels ,have to be careful if you get up in the night ,a power shower would be nice in this day and age ,also it would give more headroom. Nevertheless it was a lovely place to stay and ideally situated for us, near enough to walk into town, but just nice to be away from the bustle.That is why I gave it only 8/10

- Mr Norris, September 2019
Mr Greenfield August 2019

“Wonderful, quirky little place, very spacious and comfortable, everything you could possibly need.”

Bed very comfy, bathroom lovely, well equipped kitchen. Scones on arrival and milk in the fridge was a welcome touch. Position was perfect for the beach, restaurants, shops, town and harbour. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you.

- Mr Greenfield, August 2019
Mr Arnold August 2019

“This property is in an excellent location with just a short walk to the town centre and harbour.”

It was comfortable although as the description says the steps to the bathroom are quite steep. The only downside was the attention to detail with the cleaning. When we arrived we found bits on the carpet near the front bay window. The other issue was the Wi-fi which dropped out for a couple of days. Although it was not a problem for us I think some people may be a bit upset in this day and age. All in all we had a fantastic week in Cornwall.

- Mr Arnold, August 2019

The owner is delighted that you had a fantastic week. They are sorry if any aspect of the cleaning fell below their usual 4/4 rating. Wi-fi in Cornwall is not the fastest in UK however most devices function well and no other guest has mentioned a poor wi-fi service. Property Owner
Mr Cleaver May 2019

“This was the first time we visited Cornwall and could not have had a better location and facilities.”

Admirals View was perfect for our holiday base. I would also like to thank Sykes for providing the app which had all the details and information we needed to enjoy an easy relaxed holiday.

- Mr Cleaver, May 2019
Mr Crooks March 2019

“Your booking process was straightforward and easy.”

Your call handler was pleasant and polite. Overall, we were very pleased with your service.

- Mr Crooks, March 2019
Mr Hussey March 2019

“The apartment was clean, comfortable and very well equipped.”

The harbour view from the front window was amazing and the apartment is very conveniently situated close to most local amenities. The cream tea on arrival was a nice touch as was the bottle of wine the owners presented to my wife on her birthday. We coped very well with the steep steps to the en-suite bathroom but imagine they would pose a significant challenge to guests of limited mobility. We will be back.

- Mr Hussey, March 2019
Mrs Mullane March 2019

“Steps in the property were a worry.”

Bathroom height a concern for anybody over 5 feet 8 inches. Otherwise everything was done to make an enjoyable visit

- Mrs Mullane, March 2019
Miss Essam September 2018

“Admiral cottage is a beautiful holiday apartment with absolutely amazing views.”

the owner was brilliant and very friendly. the location was perfect, within walking distance to the train station, town, shops, pubs and beach. we will defiantly be booking again for next year.10/10

- Miss Essam, September 2018
Mr Waddington May 2018

“Ceiling height in bathroom a problem if you are over 5’ 10”.”

Bay10 in car park a problem with roosting seagulls

- Mr Waddington, May 2018
Mrs Vaisanen April 2018

“The location and view were excellent.”

There was quite a lot of traffic but it didn’t matter because the bedroom was at the back of the cottage and very quiet and peaceful. Just steps away from the railway and bus station & coast path.

- Mrs Vaisanen, April 2018
Mrs Wood April 2018

“Admiral's View sort of "wraps its arms around you", its cosy, comfortable and the view is Amazing!”

! We send our thanks to the owners and to the lady who looks after Admirals View and of course to Sykes, we hope to return, St. Ives is probably the most Beautiful Bay in England, in fact after travelling part way around the world St. Ives and Cornwall is second to none.

- Mrs Wood, April 2018
Mr Mccoy February 2018

“Well appointed and positioned on The Terrace overlooking St Ives convenient for walking around St Ives.”

Secure parking included a short walk away, so ideal for exploring the area if travelling by car. A nice welcome, friendly and helpful.

- Mr Mccoy, February 2018
