Amazing property, gorgeous view.

The host was great at keeping in touch and friendly and helpful. The property itself was fabulous. Well appointed and maintained with a stunning view. The walk to town or the beach was not too long but be prepared for hills. We all loved this place and would all definitely return. Highly recommended.

Rocky

We had originally booked to go abroad like many others in the country and rescheduled to our favourite place! We have stayed in and around St Ives many times previously, so know the area well. Overall this is a fantastic property and would defiantly recommend it to friends and family. The rooms are of a good size, and most have en suits or access to there own bathroom-this is a real plus with kids! The property is child friendly- we went with a 5, 2 and 4 month old. There are pots and pans etc for all your cooking needs and also a bbq. My dad is a big BBQer-the only part was the utensils-more bbq utensils would be useful (plastic ones present). We had 4 cars parked at the property this is a real plus for St ives, as anyone who has been will tell you parking is a nightmare. Overall the property was very clean, sheets/bedding and towels provided. The plus is their is a washer and dryer too! The only downside was the cooker hood was dusty and an old shaver head left in one of the main bathroom showers. We have stayed in many of large houses before-which we have used for family get togethers. This was a pricey stay, but then St Ives overall is pricey. Previously in houses like this, we have been welcomed with a welcome pack/hamper-Rocky close didn’t have this-often I think it’s a nice touch when you arrive especially if your new to the area or arrive late etc. There is a caravan park just below rocky close-this didn’t cause us any problems and was a good distance to not have any noise disturbance. St Ives is a very hilly place-if you struggle with hills I wouldn’t recommend st ives. Rocky Close is about a 10-15 min walk with kids down to the beach-i would recommend one of those pull along things to put stuff in-as you stand no chance of parking by the beach for those with larger family’s and lots of stuff. The beaches and shops etc though are lovely and st Ives is a good distance to most places :) Would I stay again......absolutely! Thanks for a lovely stay :)

Comfortable cottage in great location

We had a lovely time staying at Rocky Close with four adults and three small children. The location and views are truly wonderful and the house is comfortable, spacious and practical. Some aspects of the decor/furnishings are in need of a little updating, but I believe a refurb is scheduled for autumn/winter 2018. A bigger grassed area in the garden and better paved driveway would be nice, but overall it fitted the bill perfectly for us and I would definitely recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Baragwanath

Liz a local lady who was born and grew up in St Ives. A quick 15 year foray to London and a long awaited return to St Ives. Like many others the unique qualities of St Ives, and Cornwall just draw you back.

Why they chose this property

Rocky Close has the best of both, close to all the amenities of St Ives but set on a quiet lane that leads to the coastal footpath. Peace if you require it or the beaches, bars, restaurants of St Ives.

What makes this property unique

Rocky Close is a lovely granite cottage totally refurbished over 9 months 2018/19. Amazing views from 2nd lounge with wrap around glazing to take advantage of the stunning views that the property offers. A short walk to the coastal footpath or a 10 minute walk to Porthmeor beach, the surfing beach. Parking for 3 cars, a great benefit for a sizeable property. Car charging point.
