Thoughtful touches of colour and texture in the soft furnishings, a smart TV and a reading desk complete the room.

We had an amazing stay (helped by glorious weather).
The location could not be better with the beach minutes in one direction and the harbour minutes in the other. St Ives has so many amazing places to eat all within a 5 minute walk. And the local shop was very local!
The house is exactly as described and very clean when we arrived.
The beds were comfy and the space ideal for our family of 4 (2 kids aged 9 and 12). We especially appreciated the courtyard garden which was secure, and that we could access without going through the house. It had patio furniture for eating lunch outside, a useful washing line and even a hot water hose which was fantastic for rinsing sandy feet.
It really was a fantastic stay. And when our van (parked up at the Rugby club) wouldn’t start on our leaving day, the managing company were so helpful. They ferried us and all our stuff up to the Rugby Club for us to await the AA man, on what seemed to be a very busy changeover day. Thank you so much!
Number Ten is an immaculately presented cottage right in the centre of old St Ives within easy reach of the beaches and shops. The courtyard to the rear is a super bonus and is peaceful private and quiet, most unusual for a property in this location.
Lisa and the team are a pleasure to deal with and we have no hesitation in recommending the cottage! We will certainly visit again!
An absolute gem of a place. I have stayed in many properties in st ives and this stood out for the following: a rare outside area in the heart of the harbour: such a bonus when you have dogs; lobby area: again perfect to dry off sandy dogs and leave wet suits; walls adorned with the beautiful artwork of alexandra dickens: a real treat. In additon, so comfortably equipped and furnished with style. Lots of space as well. 100 %
Thank you for such an amazing stay. This property is in the perfect location within St Ives and even being so close to the Harbour/restaurants etc it still remained quiet and peaceful in the evenings. Lisa was a great host, incredibly responsive when messaging and even left us a card and bottle to congratulate us on our wedding. 5 stars!!
