This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

St Ives View in Porthtowan offers stunning views and is praised for its beautiful location and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the spaciousness and quality fittings, with the open plan living space and balcony views being particular highlights. The proximity to the beach and local amenities adds to the charm, although the steep walk may challenge some. While the property is well-received, guests have noted that the comfort of the beds and some maintenance issues could be improved.

Cleanliness

The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.

Location

The location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to the beach and local amenities. The steep walk to the beach is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.

Comfort

While the living spaces are enjoyed, there are several remarks about the beds being too soft and uncomfortable. This recurring theme suggests that while the property is generally comfortable, the quality of sleep could be improved.

Facilities

The house is well-equipped, but several reviews mention issues with maintenance such as blocked toilets, a broken fridge shelf, and a lack of BBQ facilities. These points indicate room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Thoughtfulness

Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

About this property

A cool and contemporary beachside residence, its hillside position perched just a stroll down to the soft golden sands of Porthtowan, on Cornwall's Atlantic west coast. St Ives view is the epitome of coastal living and perfect for sharing a memorable seaside holiday with family and friends. A split level detached house, step into this light and airy interior and you will be greeted with unforgettable views of the Atlantic Ocean. The entrance hall leads into a split level kitchen diner, with steps leading up to a crisp and contemporary living space on the upper level, with doors to a balcony. There are four uncluttered pristine bedrooms on slightly different levels with two bathrooms, one being en-suite to the master bedrooms on the lower ground floor. The sun room runs the width of the lower ground floor and is the perfect spot to curl up and watch the waves as they roll into the beach. Two sun terraces overlook the beach below, no better spot to enjoy alfresco meals or evening barbecues. From the garden, you can tootle down your own pathway giving you direct access to the beach and enjoy an evening stroll on the shoreline. A hot outside shower awaits returning surfers and swimmers after a day catching waves. The village amenities are all close by where you will find all you need including a small supermarket, deli, surf shop and a handful of good pubs and restaurants. Stroll along the beach at low tide and you will find the quieter beach of Chapel Porth and as the tide ebbs back in, head back via the coastal path and marvel at the magnificent scenery. For a holiday of fun, sea, sand and surf, St Ives View is just the ticket and ideal for sharing with family and friends.

Porthtowan is a small village resting on west Cornwall’s beautiful coastline, renowned for its Blue Flag beach, which at low tide exposes almost a mile and a half of fine, golden sands. A renowned surfing beach, patrolled by lifeguards during the summer season, the beach is also ideal for families with children. Surf hire and tuition is available on the beach and there pubs cafes, a beach shop in the town. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, cliff top walks along the South West Coastal path feature some spectacular scenery and lead east to St Agnes or west to Portreath. The city of Truro is 10 miles brimming with fine restaurants, cafes and shops. Whilst the vibrant maritime town of Falmouth is a little over 30 minutes drive and well worth a visit for its Maritime museum and varied selection of galleries and gift shops. There are days out for families and children at Flambards theme park in Helston and the Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. A great base for couples or families alike.
