Lovely cottage , Host was very helpful when we needed anything , two minutes away for beach, shops just on the door step would recommend staying here was lovely.
We stopped in St. Ives in 2023 and decided we needed to return and stay long enough to get a real taste for the town and its people. We wanted to be in the "Downalong" area, because of its proximity to the harbour. Orange Roofs' 45 Back Road West popped up in a search and it turned out to be perfect for the two of us, having a king bed room upstairs with bathroom, and a queen bed room downstairs with its own bathroom. It was also perfect for the overnight visits of another couple, and of a niece. Once a fisherman's home, it is built of stone and is part of a four-door row that appears on an 1887 map, but could be much older. As such, it is compact and charming. The kitchen is galley style with modern equipment and it served us well for meals we chose to have at home. The living area is comfortable and cosy with a table and chairs for dining, a couch and a smart TV. The internet is fast and reliable. Using the Orange Roofs app ensured we could make calls. The two or three times we contacted Orange Roofs with questions, we got prompt, courteous and helpful responses. They are easy to deal with. Perhaps the best thing about #45, is its location. A short walk to Porthmeor beach and a shorter walk to the harbour, it is the perfect base. We were in walking range of all the shops, pubs and restaurants (there is even a convenience store within a minute's walk). We loved St. Ives and hope to return. We would also return to #45.
The property is ideal with all the facilities we needed and in the perfect location. A short walk to the harbour and all the restaurants and facilities of St Ives.
45 Back Road West places you right in the heart of Downalong, the area beloved by so many of the St Ivesâ artist community. There are four galleries, two cracking restaurants and an amazing convenience store all within 30 seconds of the cottage. It is also very conveniently located for easy walks to Porthmeor beach, home of the Tate Gallery, the harbour and the town with a rich variety of shops, pubs and restaurants.
The cottage is lovely. It is well designed and fully equipped for everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The rooms are cosy and warm with comfortable sofas and beds. There are two bathrooms which is a real bonus. The upstairs bathroom has a luxurious bath when so many similar cottages have only showers.
Communication with Orange Roofs was excellent throughout the whole process and their app does exactly what is required. We received the key code whilst getting supplies at the local Tesco supermarket. Using the wifi was very simple and effective.
