  • "Lovely house in a fab location!"

    We were a family of 5 (2 parents, 2 children and a grandparent). The house was suitable for all. Lots of space and the open plan worked better than I expected -we have family nearby and they were able to visit us. Lots of films and games which we took advantage of due to back to back storms meaning we didn't get out as much as we had planned. The sofas are soft for relaxing in the living area, but firmer in the conservatory if preferred, and the large dining table is great to seat everyone around. The kitchen has everything you'd need and more. The tea, coffee and milk provided on arrival were much appreciated! The bathrooms were clean and had mini soaps etc. Showers good and bath amazing! The beds are all zip up which is in the description, so you do feel the join in the doubles. We all slept OK though. Hot tub was a hit and used most days. The garden and parking are great features to the property as I'm informed there aren't many of either in the area. At most a 10 minute walk to Porthmear beach one way or the town centre the other direction (a bit longer coming back up the hills!) We are certainly considering returning. A couple of tips if you do come here - follow signs to Tate St Ives from the A30 (it avoids the town center); book evening meals in advance; go to the surf school; visit St Ives bakery; walk around all the seafront and Harbour. Enjoy this wonderful part of the country! Spernenwyn has everything you could need as a home from home. The only things we missed were oven gloves and a bottle brush to clean our reusable water bottles. One thing to note is if you have younger children all the external doors (5 around the property) can be opened from the inside.

  • "It was a lovely stay a nice break away but unfortunately the beds were really uncomfortable and there isn’t a decent double bed there all single beds joined together, the sofa was uncomfortable, the place is cold, the tap in middle of kitchen doesn’t work, cobwebs everywhere, no proper security on the gates as anyone just could go in garden, definitely won’t be staying there again as it was a massive disappointment."

    Definitely not worth the money.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback after your stay. We are disappointed to hear you found the beds and sofa uncomfortable, but would like to assure you this has been passed onto the owner for their consideration. Spernenwyn is located on a quiet residential road in St Ives, therefore garden security has never been a concerning factor. Thank you once again for leaving feedback. Property Owner

  • "Super house in a great location."

    The garden must be delighful in the summer. Parking for 2 cars is pretty tight, but doable. Look forward to visiting again

With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort.
