the house was wonderful; clean, spacious, had everything you would need. We were a big group with mixed ages but there was plenty of space both inside and out to all live together for a week.
communication before and during was great, Liz was always very responsive and on hand with any queries we had while there.
we were lucky with the weather so we got to enjoy the terrace and hot tub which was great.
Porthmeor Beach is a 7-8 min walk (2 min drive), centre of town is a 10-15 min walk - longer walking back!
just a note on the location; it is on top of the hill which makes for great views but not ideal for people with mobility issues - to be fair, that is St Ives in general, the hills do add to the beauty!
What a fantastic place, we travelled with you children and elderly grandparents. The downstairs bedroom gave those grandparents who have mobility issues the ideal place to stay without compromise. The property was lived by all and is a realistic ten minute walk to the beach.
As the summer weather was true to form, thankfully there was a hot tub and a cinema screen!
I’d happily return, thank you.
We stayed at Boscarne for one week with my wife and I getting married on the weekend. The house accomodated our family of 10 brilliantly and provided so much room for us all to not feel on top of each other.
Liz was an incredible host and the property was tremendous. We created so many happy memories there as a family, be it in the hot tub, in front of the tremendous home cinema system or sat beside the log burner.
You should make this your next holiday destination!
We stayed here in August, and we all had an excellent time.
The location is lovely, easy walk down to the beach (downhill), but quite steep in parts walking back – But that’s St Ives.
We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the property after reading some of the reviews. Plenty of room for the kids with ample seating inside and out.
The bedrooms were decent sizes with plenty of storage space.
The kids loved the entertainment system, especially the projector.
Amazing views from the decking / balcony.
We would all definitely stay in this lovely holiday home again. Highly recommended.
Thanks 😊
The house is very spacious and was very well presented. The beds were very firm but comfy. The kitchen had most things but could do with chopping boards replacing and a decent pair of kitchen scissors. The views were spectacular and great area to sunbathe and use the hot tub. The shower room is in an odd place as it’s in the hallway as you enter the house with a frosted glass door so not really ideal. There’s one ensuite up and one down the other two bedrooms share the main bathroom on the landing unless one room uses the shower in the entrance!
It’s quite high on the hill so anyone not good at walking I don’t think it would be suitable, however there is a regular bus going up and down … parking has always been limited in st ives so prepare to walk down to the beach and bus it back …
The down side of our stay was the rats yes rats very big rats running across the deck everytime we did a bbq … the host did address this with a bait box but we had them most of our stay … we had to go inside when the rats arrived as we had small children . All in all we did enjoy staying there
Just had a wonderful Christmas in Boscarne, St Ives. The house is just as described, very comfortable, modern & with everything provided you could possibly need to have an enjoyable holiday. We cooked a Christmas dinner & the kitchen was well equipped to do so. The hot tub was a great success even though we had a lot of rain. All in all a fabulous Christmas in St Ives at Boscarne.
It was a great location near the beach & the town. The only small issue for me was with a big party of people there were too many houses in very close proximity so had to be very quiet as not to disturb which is difficult to do when there is a party of 9 or 10.
We had a lovely stay at St Ives. The accommodation was very comfortable with stunning views. Everything you could need for a stay away from home. An experience which was stress free and most enjoyable.
We were a family of 6 who stayed in July 21. Great house, great views, quiet location, great hot tub, great home cinema and great kitchen. Spotlessly clean. Just remember that this is St Ives, so there are a lot of hills. You're only a 10 min walk to the beach and centre of St Ives. There are lots of buses to take you back up the very steep hill!!
The owner popped in a couple of times to check the chemicals in the hot tub and was easily contactable if needed,
We really enjoyed our stay.
Firstly, Liz is a lovely host and quickly rectified an issue we had - in fact within minutes!
The house is big and perfect for two families (with 4 children)
The pictures do make this property look newer than it is and also bigger but it was still nice.
The beds were really comfortable and the showers were really powerful.
The outdoor shower was lovely and immediately hot!
The hot tub was a great addition, with an amazing view. Liz came to check the chemicals and as we were leaving the came to fully drain it and clean it.
The property is approx 10 minute walk to the nearest beach but the way back is extremely hilly - parking for any of the beaches is a nightmare!
There were no personal touches on arrival like hampers, notes etc which we are used too, although there was milk in the fridge. Also, no info on local take aways - we found a good Indian that deliver (cash on delivery only).
Knifes could do with a sharpen but there was plenty of crockery, cutlery, including plastics for the kids!
Loads of seating inside and outside which makes being away with another family nice and easy!
Gas BBQ was great too!
Overall a pleasant stay, with glorious weather from start to finish.
We had a great stay. Beach was only 10 minutes away and the shop was a few minutes walk. The bus stops right outside if you don’t feel like walking up the hill. The hot tub was a big plus! Thank you Liz for a wonderful stay :)
The property was lovely, perfect for our family break for a special birthday. Really had everything we needed, lovely location with beautiful views. Liz was very helpful and was there with anything we needed. Was a fantastic weekend. 😊
We were a family of all ages pre-celebrating Mum's big birthday - I am so pleased we chose this place, it was perfect. Perfect location, spotlessly clean, we just loved it and didn't want to leave Elizabeth was great with communicating and very helpful telling me about the area before we arrived. I think we all fell in love with St Ives and we certainly fell in love with Boscarne - we will be back!

Great house for a family holiday
Lovely house for a family holiday, beautiful views over St ives Bay.
About 15 mins walk downhill to St Ives, very steep coming back but local bus stops just at the of the lane for the house or a taxi is only £4.50.

We had a fantastic stay, the house was amazing and in a beautiful spot, we’ll definitly be returning
It’s a beautiful house with everything you could wish for. Amazing views from the large decked terrace, the hot tub was a great addition it was nice to sit with a glass of bubbly looking out at the sea. We stayed for New Year and St Ives was a brilliant place to stay for New Years Eve and within walking distance of the house.

Local lady who moved away to London for 15 years but returned to St Ives. Now look after our original renovated letting house, three flats plus our recently built luxury new builds Boscarne , Chy Lowen, Godrevy all of which are holiday lets. Plus 100+ year old farmhouse and cottage that both accept pets.
Why they chose this property
Boscarne is a beautiful purpose built holiday let. Designed and completed with our guests in mind, we have tried make it a very special house. Added features of hot tub, projector and drop down screen, t/vs in all bedrooms, & unlimited Superfast broadband, Netflix. Electric charging point. But most of all a lovely open planned property for guests to spend special time together. We have had birthdays, anniversaries, wedding departures, all great memories made at Boscarne. But most of all it is the ever changing stunning views of Porthmeor Beach, St Ives Bay and as far up to Trevose Head, some 25 miles away that make Boscarne a really special place to spend your holidays.
What makes this property unique
Although Boscarne is a stunning house it is located just 10 minutes walk from Porthmeor Beach, and all that St Ives has to offer. Great restaurants, pubs, quaint little streets, galleries, Barbara Hepworth Museum, Tate St Ives, Leach Pottery as well as the beauty of Cornwall.
