St Anna’s cottage was cute and homey and conveniently located in the heart of St. Ives. While there was no parking on site, we were able to find a long stay car park within 10 minutes walk and then could walk to everything the town had to offer. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped with all we needed in the kitchen and to do a load of laundry. We’d be happy to return to this lovely cottage on our next stay.

Close to everything

The location is excellent. So close to the town and beach. Great for families. There’s no parking being so central but there’s a car park really close by. We chose location over parking. A few basic amenities were lacking such as a tea towel and oven gloves but if you’re eating out it’s no problem. We read about the noise on previous reviews but it wasn’t overly loud just normal tourist chatter. We’d definitely come again.

The cottage

This cottage is in a great location to get to the beech . Please remember no parking outside though. We parked up on nearby car park for the week . A little tip get down to the car park early to get a space if you come to St Ives in main holiday season it’s.VERY busy . Walls in the cottage very thin so could hear both sides of neighbours too .

Lovely stay at this fab home.

We had a great stay at St Annas. We were able to check in much earlier which really helped as we have 2 young boys. The location is perfect for the beach and all other amenities. Would defiantly stay again and recommend to anyone looking for an easy relaxing break in St Ives.

Family holiday

St Anna's is in a fantastic location near Porthmeor beach. However, we were slightly disappointed with the interior and felt for the price paid it was some what lacking and missing a personal touch.

A location with good and bad sides

The cottage is quite small and fairly basic. It is in a great location for the beaches and town of St Ives. However the road is busy and we were woken a few times by drunks coming back from the town. We also had the misfortune that at least one group of lads was staying close by. The cottage unsurprisingly is not well insulated so you can hear neighbours pretty clearly. We arrived by train and think having a car there would have been a complete hassle. Car parks fill up really quickly. The property is advertised as having a king sized bed, it definitely isn’t. I’d say it could have done with a bit of sprucing up, not everyone wants to drink out of pint glasses all the time. There is a great corner shop nearby The Norway stores

Perfect week

The cottage is in a perfect location. Parking isn’t easy so arriving and leaving is tricky but once you’re in and parked it’s great! Right by the beach on a pretty street. We were able to explore so much of St Ives from here. Great sized bedrooms and two bathrooms which was a bonus. A mid week delivery of a hairdryer along with some prosecco was very well received! Thank you for a lovely stay.
