Guests say

The Beach Hut in St. Ives is highly praised for its cleanliness, prime location near the beach and town, and the comfort it offers. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the lovely touches like cream tea on arrival, and the convenience of having a parking space. The views and proximity to local attractions make it a desirable stay, despite some comments about tight parking and a challenging staircase for those with mobility issues.

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, mentioning it was 'spotless' and 'clean'. There are no negative comments about cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.

The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the beach and town. However, some guests mention steep walks and the view being partially spoiled by a window issue, slightly reducing the score.

The property is described as comfortable, with a 'lovely comfy bed' and 'airy' rooms. One negative comment about a very soft mattress affecting guests' backs slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, there are some concerns about maintenance issues like the front window and staircase, which suggest room for improvement.

While many guests mention the thoughtful touch of a cream tea on arrival, it is not possible to guarantee such gifts for future guests. Therefore, a score cannot be provided as it would not accurately reflect a consistent offering.

About this property

This duplex apartment is situated in the seaside town of St Ives, famous for its art history and galleries as well as the beaches. The Beach Hut is set over two floors with reverse style accommodation. Enter onto the ground floor and into the hallway and then into the bedroom which has a king-size bed. A spiral staircase takes you to the living area which has a captivating view of the sea and coastline towards Godrevy Lighthouse and as far as St Agnes on a clear day, with an open-plan layout home to the kitchen, dining area and sitting area together on the first floor. St Ives offers something for everyone; wandering along the ancient cobbled streets you will find numerous shops, art galleries and award-winning restaurants. The tiny harbour beach is dotted with places to sit and enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine whilst watching the colourful boats bobbing in the quay. There are four white sandy beaches within walking distance including the world-class, award-winning beaches at Porthminster and Porthmeor. Taking a trip on one of the pleasure boats from the harbour is a great way of exploring the amazing coastline. Alternatively, driving west on the coast road, voted Britain's most scenic stretch of coastline, will transport you to surfy Sennen, legendary Lands End and the incredible Minack Theatre with its dramatic backdrop of sea and sky creating a magical scene – but be sure to book ahead as it is very popular! Perfectly located in one of Cornwall's hot-spot destinations, The Beach Hut makes a fabulous holiday home in St Ives.

St Ives is a popular coastal hotspot in the hub of Cornwall, home to a wide range of pubs, shops, restaurants, and beaches, as well as a fascinating museum and art galleries. The area around St Ives boasts heaps of Cornish culture, with stunning landscapes home to walking and cycling trails, watersports activities available on the beach, outdoor adventures along the coast, along with destinations including Land's End, Carbis Bay, and Penzance well-worth a visit. St Ives is an ideal tourist hub for a coastal holiday for all the family to enjoy.

  • Chris

    A little difficult to find initially, very tight parking especially when next door parked two cars. Overall a lovely stay in St Ives

  • Rosemary

    The bed was really comfortable, plenty of storage space in the bedroom. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable seating area. It was great to have a dedicated parking space in St Ives. Only a short walk from all the sights.

  • Claire

    . on a clear day the views out of the living room window to the sea were lovely, relaxing.. it has a parking space which is a bonus just a bit tight to park. Close to the centre and beaches of St Ives. The only thing I would say is you have mobility problems you would struggle to negotiate the spiral stair case and the streets are steep to and from the centre and beaches.. I would recommend otherwise and hope to stay again in the future..
