Reviews
A wonderful and modern property which is very spacious and well equipped. A fabulous location too with moorland one side (for excellent morning hikes) and a 20-25 minute walk into Town the other side (though a bit of a trek uphill coming back!). The only negative is the lack of garden space - only a tiny front garden with nothing at the back. Then again, who cares when you have those moors!
We had a wonderful stay at the house. It was spacious, clean and walking distance to St Ives. Definitely the best holiday I have had in Cornwall. We visited many places from Penzance, Falmouth, St Michael Mount, Truro and The Beaches in St Ives Carbis Bay being our Favorite. Without a doubt we will be back, hopefully next year. Fantastic communication all the way through. Thank you again ladies.
We had a very comfortable stay at this property.
Communication was great with Lisa.
There was milk in the fridge and a pack of Cornish ginger biscuits left for us which I thought was very welcoming.
The property was clean, very well presented, had everything a family would need away from home. It had all the utilities one would need.
Excellent location for us to visit the famous landmarks, as they were only a short drive away. Which was ideal as we were travelling with three children. Co-op was literally a minutes drive and there is also a Tesco supermarket in St.Ives which was very convenient.
I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again on my next visit 🙂
Our recent stay at 14 The Carracks in St Ives was brilliant. Lovely, dog friendly, 3 bed home at the top of the hill just outside St Ives at the beginning of a lovely road for a morning walk with views out over the Cornish countryside. The house is in immaculate condition and is kitted out with everything you might need. As lockdown had just finished and we booked relatively late, we struggled to get many dinner reservations and so tended to cook ourselves in the evenings - the kitchen isn’t missing a thing, including a nutribullet for smoothies. Having a parking space was very handy and we tended to walk down the hill into St Ives (circa 25 mins) and catch a taxi back up, leaving our car at the house rather than trying to find a carpark in the centre of town. Lisa and Serena were the perfect hosts, great communicators and reverted very promptly - usually within 30 mins or so - to any questions. Overall, can’t recommend the house highly enough and we hope to return one day soon.
The house was to an excellent and modern standard in all aspects, and was spotless when we arrived. The location was absolutely perfect for what we required, and our break was enhanced by knowing we would return each evening to the house. The house location to St Ives was excellent, with Penzance and Marazion a very short drive away. Sandy Toes certainly provided us with what we expected, and it exceeded our expectation. We will certainly book this property again without hesitation. Thank you, it was much appreciated.
A great place to stay in Cornwall!
The Location - It's very close to St. Ives (~20 min walk downhill). Short drive to the west/south coasts of Cornwall. Easily accessible by car. There's a Co-op 1 minute away by car.
The Place - It was super clean when we arrived. It's quite spacious. It's fitted out with modern furniture. The beds are really comfortable (the bunk bed not so much, but it's not too bad). The kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and has all the tools/utensils you'd need. It has a nice front patio. Fits one car, but can park a second car on the street opposite. Two out of three bedrooms have a Smart TV. Only one con - two of the rooms overlook a road that gets loud and noisy in the morning (only when the windows are open, if windows are shut you don't hear it)
The Hosts - Lisa and Serena were super stars! They're so quick to respond, and very helpful throughout. Thank you both!
Generally - a great place, with great location, and superstar hosts, we would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone who would like to visit Cornwall.
