We stopped in St. Ives in 2023 and decided we needed to return and stay long enough to get a real taste for the town and its people. We wanted to be in the "Downalong" area, because of its proximity to the harbour. Orange Roofs' 45 Back Road West popped up in a search and it turned out to be perfect for the two of us, having a king bed room upstairs with bathroom, and a queen bed room downstairs with its own bathroom. It was also perfect for the overnight visits of another couple, and of a niece. Once a fisherman's home, it is built of stone and is part of a four-door row that appears on an 1887 map, but could be much older. As such, it is compact and charming. The kitchen is galley style with modern equipment and it served us well for meals we chose to have at home. The living area is comfortable and cosy with a table and chairs for dining, a couch and a smart TV. The internet is fast and reliable. Using the Orange Roofs app ensured we could make calls. The two or three times we contacted Orange Roofs with questions, we got prompt, courteous and helpful responses. They are easy to deal with. Perhaps the best thing about #45, is its location. A short walk to Porthmeor beach and a shorter walk to the harbour, it is the perfect base. We were in walking range of all the shops, pubs and restaurants (there is even a convenience store within a minute's walk). We loved St. Ives and hope to return. We would also return to #45.

What ever you want to do, it’s all there, park the car and forget about it until it’s time to go home 😭

The property is ideal with all the facilities we needed and in the perfect location. A short walk to the harbour and all the restaurants and facilities of St Ives.
