The best holiday let that we have ever stayed in ( and we have done a lot)

we have already booked again for next year ,It is immaculate and in the ideal location right in the centre of st ives. Everything about the place is just quality , its even got a tv to watch while you are in the bath. 2 minor drawbacks are the road outside is very narrow , only a small car can get through the Digey , but you can stop at either end to load luggage. parking provided is a long way out of town . but we rented a parking space in town no bother.

Lovely week in ideal location

The cottage is perfectly located right in the heart of the old town, just off the seafront. Very spacious and nicely furnished it’s ideal for a family holiday. The facilities were to the highest standard and the owners were very accommodating - we had twin babies and they brought in two cots, two high chairs and two buggies for us at no extra cost.

Perfect Stay!

We had a fabulous time at Iris. The property is absolutely beautiful - so comfy, cozy and well presented. The location is perfect - especially being less than 30 seconds walk from St Ives Bakery and their famous Cruffins! It was great being so central, yet also being so quiet with not many people wandering up and down the Digey. We will definitely be back!!

The savoy of St Ives!

High end interiors and rich quality throughout - each room is straight from an interiors masterclass and you are spoilt with every detail - from the emma Bridgwater seaside mugs and lobster plate (my favourite!) to the gorgeous flames in the remote gas log burner! The only place we will stay xx

Outstanding, perfectly located cottage with gorgeous interior decor

Outstanding cottage with gorgeous interior decor immaculately presented by super-helpful housekeeper Marie. Location couldn’t be more perfect, with all of St Ives’ attractions a few steps away. You will want for nothing during your stay. The accommodation is high-spec throughout and styled beautifully. So convenient to have some welcome essentials provided, so you can relax immediately with tea and a biscuit.

Phenomenal

If I could find a better word than phenomenal to describe this place then I’d use it. Perfect location, stunning interior which was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We’ve been coming to St Ives for over twenty years staying in various cottages and apartments and this place tops the lot for us.Thank you to the owners for providing such luxury in St Ives!

November Stay

Beautiful property in an ideal location. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay. Very welcoming environment and an incredibly helpful and generous arrival package which is such a bonus after a long journey. Always a relief when you know you can have a cuppa immediately! Booking and follow up all went very smoothly. I’ve been to St Ives a number of times and this is the nicest property I have stayed in. Don’t think I would want to book anywhere else now.

A perfect place to stay

What an amazing place! Looking at the map, I hadn’t appreciated just how great the location was — super handy if you have small children. It honestly couldn’t have been better! The house itself was also incredible. Beautiful “St Ives” interior with lovely colours and a nautical feel. Everything was so well thought out. There were nightlights downstairs, which were great as there are a couple of steps. As a bathroom designer, I really appreciated the hand showers, the spec throughout was really high. Even the mugs! We will definitely be booking again.

Iris

Lacks personal touch, parking quite far but good. Fire not working in lounge Too cold downstairs in the bedrooms as the owners have the heating preset to 14 degrees if it had been a rainy cold weekend it would have been rather unpleasant. However location is amazing and cottage has been designed exceptionally well, housekeepers friendly and worked hard to get us in at 4pm, however I did find 4pm check in rather late and 10am checkout too early

Our second stay at Iris cottage this year and yet again we were not disappointed! on this visit we also brought friends who were equally as happy as us. Communication from booking to arrival was good, on arrival the cleanliness and finishing touches were again, impeccable. Iris cottage is so conveniently located in the heart of St Ives, close to shops, restaurants and beaches a perfect location. Having the opportunity to make use of the secure parking negates the need to worry about what you'll do with the car, using the walk up the hill to collect a perfect opportunity to walk off the over indulgence of pasties! If we were to be critical when staying with more than the two of us the lounge area could accommodate a further sofa to provide relaxed seating for all four adults staying, buth this is being very picky!! Fantastic accommodation 5*Plus, and yes we will be back again!!! Thank you

Amazing space and location. Highly recommended!

This is by far the best holiday home experience my wife and I have ever had. When the booking was confirmed we received a really detailed welcome pack with all the information you would ever need. Included in this was the option of a secure parking space a 10/15 min walk from the beach front. Very handy as the parking in St Ives can be a bit of a nightmare. When we arrived, we'd been provided with fresh bread from the local bakery, eggs, butter, jam and biscuits, and as much tea and coffee as you could drink. It made us feel at home right away and got our holiday off to a great start. The space was so calm and relaxing that we found ourselves spending far more time there than we generally would. The gated central courtyard was a lovely addition and in our case, with 2 small children, it provided a safe space for them to play. The location is amazing. You're just one step away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, you have Porthmeour beach 2 mins away and 90% of all the shops and restaurants are less than a 5 min walk. I genuinely don't think you'll find a better place to stay when visiting St Ives. We'll certainly be back.
