What our customers say about their holidays

  We have stayed at Heron four times.

  The location is lovely and the parking is a bonus. However this year we were disappointed with how dirty the apartment was. We had to clean the fridge before we could use it. The oven is in desperate need of a clean. We used it once but the smell of old burnt food was overwhelming. There is a desperate lack of kitchen utensils, no decent frying pan for example, which along with the dirty oven made self catering a challenge. The bathroom is mouldy ( a point picked up in previous reviews) and has gotten worse over time. The furniture is also tired and the sofa was quite uncomfortable. The curtains are ripped ( as they were last year ). The rug is a trip hazard. As I said, a parking space is a bonus but this year the signs were all broken and it was unclear where to park . We returned one day to find no space which was really frustrating. I reported all these issues to the holiday company and in fairness they offered to redo the cleaning but we declined. I also reported the main issues again when we returned home, but no response hence this review. Heron has been our ‘go to’ place in St Ives and has represented good value for money but we shan’t return until there are improvements, but if you value location and lovely views across the harbour above all else this is probably the place for you.

  Had a wonderful stay at the Wagon House.

  We had pretty awful weather, but the little house was very homely, warm and comfortable and it was actually quite nice watching the wind and rain from the comfy sofa! The new bathroom refit had literally just been completed when we got there, so there was a little bit of residue building dust but nothing of any concern and the house was otherwise clean and tidy. Very impressed with the well equipped kitchen (so nice to go somewhere and find little everyday things tin foil, washing up liquid and pegs!). Bedding was impressively soft and warm despite very low temperatures for the first couple of days. Enjoyed a couple of lake walks when not raining, the site is well maintained with a good path around most of it, though walking boots or wellies needed after the rain. Must say that the Wi-Fi was very good and strong and had no problems with signal at all. Scones and jam (and wine!) were very tasty and well received, thank you. Trudi and Sam were very warm and welcoming in a very unobtrusive way. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and would be very happy to stay again when next in that area.

  A charming flat which overlooked st Ives in possibly the best location you could ask for and only a few mins walk into the village / Town.

  The apartment was well equipped for our stay. Including bedding and fluffy towels etc. Parking was a short 10 min walk from the property. Their are a few things that need to be addressed in the property for improvement: - the bed, the mattress is awful :( the bed is a small double (I believe) so we both ended up sleeping on our sides. - the WiFi (it only work in the communal corridor) the problem is the signal strength does not cater for the property and needs its own connection to a modem. The WiFi boosters simply do not offer any form of WiFi to the apartment. - final night of our stay the battery to the smoke alarm was going off ALL night - intermittent beeping (battery went). - bathroom mould on the ceiling, bathroom could do with a lick of paint. We do understand there is no window hence the reason for this happening. But requires addressing as a “luxury” apartment / flat. Overall a pleasant stay ( apart from the last night with the smoke alarm). “What 3 word” location ///cobbles.liberated.able for anyone who finds the property hard to find as couldn’t find on Google.

  A lovely cottage in an absolutely beautiful and tranquil setting.

  The facilities in Millers House are in keeping with the character of the building, not pristine but that makes the cottage very homely and welcoming, both myself and my daughter felt settled immediately and had a wonderful stay. Mr Evans, the owner is most friendly and helpful and a very nice host. Finding a criticism is really difficult. The only thing is, and this is such a small thing, the cooking facilities were all there and in great order but I was a little surprised there were no condiments like salt, pepper, cooking oil etc (you wouldnt think to bring it with you). It wasn't an issue as we had to go shopping for the fresh food we couldn't bring, so we simply bought that too. We left it at the property as a gift to the next occupants. As I say, it's such a small thing so it doesn't detract from our experience at all, it's such a lovely place I'm almost embarrassed to mention it. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay, I should have booked 2 weeks at least.

  We had a lovely stay at Heron but there were a few things that i think need addressing.

  Firstly the parking space, im not sure this should be advertised as including a parking space tbh. I was unable to use the parking space all holiday (BMW 4 series gran coupe) since the space left by the cars either side simply didnt leave enough space. Personally i dont think this is the fault of the drivers in either space. The allocated bay is next to an end space which is next to a big hedge. If they parked to leave enough space they wouldnt be able to manoeuvre their vehicle. I had to pay over £60 to park in a public car park for the week which unfortunately resulted in a dent in the side of my car, so not great. I normally select properties based on having private parking so this was disappointing based on the listing. The only other feedback point would be the bed. The mattress needs replacing asap , it slopes to one side and is not comfortable. On holiday a good nights sleep is a must so this needs sorting for future customers. Everything else was as expected.
