Admiral: central, tucked away, 3 bed cottage with garden & panoramic sea views.

We had a lovely time in this centrally located property. The house is lovely, has everything you need in a home from home. So close to everything but also tucked out of the way to enjoy quiet evenings. The view is spectacular!

Lovely house in a quiet oasis just off the main street in St Ives. Stunning view across the ever changing harbour and up to Godrevy and the lighthouse House is beautifully designed. Well equipped kitchen with the basics very kindly supplied - salt/pepper/teabags etc Loved having the drying room for wetsuits/beach towels etc We would love to stay here again. Only warning, there is basically no vehicular access anywhere near, so everything has to be carried in from the car park down/up the steep steps.

In the centre of St Ives with truly wonderful views of the harbour, Admiral Cottage is a fabulous holiday let. Every detail has been thought of and owner Melanie provided us with a great information folder, all the utensils and equipment you would have at home and even the means to make a very welcome cuppa on arrival. I could have spent days looking at the view from the 1st and 2nd floor windows and tiny garden at the front was a little haven of tranquility. Seconds from wonderful shops and restaurants. I wish it was mine.

Modern, comfortable home with everything you need. Great view over the bay and out to sea, which is a short walk away. Shop less than 5 mins walk, St Ives not far. Would recommend highly!

We loved our week at this beautiful ,homely cottage. Peaceful position but only minutes walking to the main amenities of St Ives. As for the view..... Absolutely stunning! We woke every morning,amazed by it. Plenty of lovely restaurants nearby, we liked the Seafood Cafe and can recommend the coffees at the Cafe Pasta, especially enjoyed sitting on the bench outside,looking at the harbour. Beautiful beaches,great for just a swim or for bodyboarding. Minack theatre is beautiful and worth a visit. We will definitely return to Admirel Cottage, on our own and with family ,it's ideal for both. Missing it already ?

We all loved Admiral Cottage. It is completely central and yet perfectly tucked away and very quiet at night. The view over rooftops to the harbour is gorgeous and means you never feel cut off from the sea. It's well and stylishly furnished. We all liked getting back there after a day on the beach and it really felt like home. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the access by steep steps which is fine for most people but a bit of a challenge with a buggy. We wished we'd booked two weeks instead of one.

I've been to St Ives a few times. This place really shines if you've got kids or you just want to be very central. It's hidden just off the Main Street so has a bit of seclusion but really easy to get everywhere. Property was clean and well maintained. Didn't really have much contact with the owner but they seemed nice. There is a good restaurant called the seafarer just below the steps leading to this house. I would really recommend that too. All in all would definitely recommend. One of the best places I've stayed in St Ives.

We came down to St Ives for a relaxing winter break. Admiral Cottage ticked all the boxes for us - right in the middle of the town with easy access to shops and restaurants but tucked away and really quiet in February. We parked in a long-stay car park a few minutes walk up the hill, which involved a long flight of steps - it was fine on arrival, but it would have been better to pack smaller loads than one big suitcase, for the return journey. The cold winds made us very glad of the central heating which kept the cottage cosy, and being able to watch over the sunlit harbour with a hot drink and knees against the radiator was the best way to warm up after a bracing walk! The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable, and feels light and airy. St Ives had plenty going on even in February; we looked round many art galleries, including the Tate, and there was a big choice of restaurants. We found the perfect place to eat every night at the bottom of the steps, in Fore Street - the Seafood Cafe - and a few paces away from it the Allotment Deli provided us with fresh bread, fruit and delicious cakes. There were lots of fashion and jewelry shops, two childrenswear shops and a great little bookshop, with a Coop about 10 minutes walk for general groceries. In all, St Ives and Admiral Cottage made a great winter break for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Admiral Cottage. We have three young kids (8,6,4) who loved every minute. The cottage has been refurbished to a high standard, with lots of thoughtful details to make it a pleasant place to be on a rainy day. It also has excellent access to St. Ives and the Harbour. But I think what we loved the most was the beautiful views from the flat of the Harbour and the ocean. I never got tired of looking out the window. Highly recommended.

The view of the harbour from the lounge is absolutely lovely. My family and I really enjoyed our week here, it was an excellent location for us as central in the town but also hidden from the main streets. The house is well maintained, modern and was very clean on arrival! Very impressed, thank you!
