Cottage by the Sea, Wi-Fi, Pets Accepted

This delightful fishermans cottage perches high above the town of St Ives and offers families a quaint and comfortable retreat in one of Cornwall's most sought-after holiday destinations.

Set over three floors, Good Day Sunshine is a lovely little hideaway. On the ground floor is an open plan living room with an electric log-effect wood-burner, and a kitchen which has an AGA and small dining area. Upstairs on the first floor, there's a gorgeous double bedroom with a king size bed and sea views, as well as a family bathroom with freestanding tub and shower over. Children have their own lovely space to enjoy in the bedroom at the top of the cottage under the eaves, and there are more sea views over St Ives Bay from its main window.

Famous for its picturesque harbour, iconic Tate St Ives art gallery, terrific restaurants and independent shopping, St Ives is a dream location for family getaways. A bustling atmosphere during the summer months and a laid-back vibe out of season make it the perfect place for a getaway at any time of the year.

Close to the cottage are the Trewyn Sub Tropical Gardens and The Barbara Hepworth studio and garden, both great for days out with the family, as well as the many wonderful beaches in the area including Porthmeor and Porthminster. If you'd like to surf while on holiday St Ives Surf School (based on Porthmeor) offers wetsuit and board hire as well as surf lessons. The nearby Porthminster Beach is a good all-rounder for the whole family and there's also a wonderful beach café there where you'll be able to enjoy a cold drink and watch the waves roll in.

1 pet accepted: Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Lage:City - Geschäfte, Bus, Touristeninfo sehr gut erreichbar, grandioser Blick von der Terrasse aus. Kommunaler Parkplatz 110 Stufen höher, am besten vorab online Langzeitticket kaufenABER: max. für 2 Personen und große Mülltonne auf der sehr kleinen Terasse, so dass man eigentlich keine Lust hat, sie zu nutzen; für Familien mit Kindern nicht empfehlenswert Ausstattung:Sehr charmant eingerichtet und liebevoll dekoriert mit lokal passenden Bildern, Sprüchen und anderen Dekoartikeln. Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner, Mikrowelle, Gasherd und -ofen, Fön, alles da. Besonders das Kinderzimmer ganz oben ein wahrer Wohlfühlort und im Gegensatz zu restlicher Wohnung sehr sauber.ABER:- Schon beim Eintreten in Wohnküche sehr unangenehmer Geruch durch Feuchtigkeit, evtl. Schimmel -Mikrowelle, Wasserkocher, Stuabsauger sehr alt und mit üblem Geruch -Schränke mit Staubnestern - Duschen in der Badewanne problematisch, da sehr niedrige Decke (und sehr kleines Bad insgesamt) und für Menschen über 1,80 m sehr beschwerlich- Teppich, Kuscheldecken, Couch sehr in die Jahre gekommen und müssten komplett ersetzt werden, auch Fensterputzen wäre dringend nötig - sehr viel MöwendreckFazit: Nur mit sehr viel Toleranz weiterzuempfehlen. Sehr schade, dass eine eigentlich so nette Wohnung so vernachlässigt ist. Sehr positive Bewertungen schwer nachvollziehbar und sehr ärgerlich, da man sich bei der Buchung auch daran orientiert.

Got my steps in !

Nice property. Replete with all facilities for a family holiday. Clean and well maintained. Attic and living room got a little cold but settled down after a couple of nights of heating.Slightly difficult to access as in a narrow by lane with 30 steps leading to property. Nearest car park about . 5 miles away. Would maybe book something easier to access with kids next time.

Gemütliche und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Alle Beschreibungen entsprachen den Gegebenheiten vor Ort. Wir können einen Urlaub zu zweit nur empfehlen.
