Mr Rigby
We found the apartment clean, all the beds were comfortable, the garage was of a good size and the harbour was close. The apartment is on a very busy road, and therefore arriving and leaving from the garage can be daunting.The traffic could also be a problem in the warmer weather if the windows are open. Overall the apartment was comfortable with a good view.

Excellent location, the apartment was lovely and warm due to it's sun facing aspect. Post pandemic like many places a little tired around the edges and in need of some maintenance. The private parking is a diamond in the rough as you don't often get parking on site in St Ives. The living room, dining room and kitchen were very well laid out offering cosy evening space and light bright lazy breakfast spaces. The apartment is suited to someone with limited mobility, manual wheelchair and walking frame users would not struggle here. Power wheelchair users might struggle a little but with assistance it's doable, not suitable for adults requiring a hoist or rotunda for moving to or from wheelchair. 7 minute walk to 2 co-ops but be warned St Ives is old and the council is yet to install dropped kerbs on the majority of pavements meaning there are times where you have to walk along the road. Some areas are quite steep to navigate, but the majority of the streets in Portminster town and along to St Ives are flat, some areas are cobbled so needs good suspension to wheel around. Many of the shops have failed to make themselves accessible using portable ramps, however some were incredible with customer service, running out to assist and offering for the carer to take photos of items to show to the disabled person. Overall we had a pleasant stay and have left feedback for the owner regarding the maintenance issues to look into that may have easily been overlooked during a busy peak season.
