Peninsula Apartment 2 in St. Ives is highly praised for its stunning views, comfortable beds, and proximity to the beach and local amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the added bonus of spa passes, and the thoughtful welcome pack. The outdoor space is a highlight, though some mention noise from a nearby hotel and minor maintenance issues.
Most guests found the apartment very clean, with only a few isolated comments about cleanliness issues. The high standards mentioned by several reviewers suggest that the property is generally well-maintained.
The location is consistently lauded for its proximity to Porthminster Beach and St. Ives centre, with the views particularly highlighted. Easy access to local attractions and restaurants adds to the appeal.
Guests rave about the comfortable beds and the overall comfort of the apartment. Some concerns were raised about sofa seating and a hot master bedroom, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and spa access. However, some guests noted the lack of a hoover and issues with seating, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
The welcome pack was well-received, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, future guests should consider this a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.
Tucked away in the pretty harbour town of St Ives, Cornwall, is this contemporary ground-floor apartment, Peninsula Apartment 2.
