    Property in a great location but extremely damp and smelly. There was mould around the bathroom and the shower holder was broken - to add to this the tap was also missing parts and there were cob webs and large amounts of dust in most rooms. The top of one of the bedroom cupboards had old occupants shoes/socks on and was thick with dust. To make the stay bearable we had to spend money on candles and keep them lit all week.

    We had a lovely week at Carbines, the cottage is a perfect base for exploring St Ives and North Cornwall - ideal for all of the local beaches (Portgwidden is our fav) and two minutes from the heart of the town & harbour. (It’s also two minutes from a local CO-OP store which is a bonus.) We chose to pre-book parking at the Rugby Club, to avoid wasting time looking for spaces around town - a great decision, being just ten minutes-walk from Wesley Place. All of the main living spaces in the cottage are lovely and comfortable, suiting our family perfectly: the open plan set up is ideal and the kitchen/diner the centre of most of time indoors. In the lounge, the sofas are both a good size and comfortable and the smart TV, DVD, and fast Wi-Fi are all great for film night in on (an unusual) wet evening. We booked particularly because of the added bonus of a games room in the basement with pinball and Bar-football - great for a family competition. Upstairs the bedrooms are all a good size, light and airy with comfortable beds. All booking and pre-arrival communications were prompt and clear, and a couple of minor issues we raised on arrival were swiftly dealt with - much appreciated.

    The cottage was convenient to town. A short walk to the high street and harbor. Parking is a problem all over St. Ives, must pay for parking in a lot and walk into or take a bus to the house. The one bathroom is on the main floor, three bedrooms on the second floor up a steep staircase. Well equipped kitchen, but bring your own paper towels, plastic trash bags and dishwasher soap. Also bring toilet paper as one one roll was provided. We had one maintenance issue and it was taken care of immediately. Correspondence with owner was very good. The boys loved the game room, well equipped, but it was a bit musty smelling. All in all, a nice basic rental.

    This house has a nice feel to it the moment you walk through the door; it is light and airy. The dining kitchen is a lovely space, big and bright and very well appointed. Upstairs there are 3 large bedrooms, a double, twin and bunk. The double bed that we slept in was very comfortable. The downstairs bathroom is again bright and clean and with hot water on demand both bath and shower are welcome after a day walking the coast path. There are nice pictures hanging throughout the house making it feel like home. Being so close to the shops, restaurants, harbour and beaches makes access on foot very easy. Our host, Jon, was very helpful and quick to respond to our enquires. We can thoroughly recommend this house and hope to return ourselves one day

    We were 4 adults and two kids and the property was spacious for us all. It is well stocked with lots of beach accessories which may be needed during your stay which are in the handy outbuilding where you can rinse off when you get back from the beach. Down in the basement are lots of board games and there is a good selection of dvd's for wetter days. The property is well placed for shops pubs beaches and restaurants. If you've been to St Ives before you will know that parking is difficult. We paid for a rover ticket which allows parking in many council but not all long stay car parks in Cornwall. The nearest to this property is up a steep walk which is a five minute walk. When no space available in this car park we parked in the park and ride Trenwith car park, the bus stop is just round the corner from the property. You can pull up to the property to load and unload and while we were there we often saw cars parked overnight, but we also saw a parking attendant who informed us that he regularly handed out tickets to people, so beware! During our visit we had a problem with the drain, we contacted the owner who contacted the local agent who came and sorted the next day. During our stay we loved walking down in the evening to the harbour spotting the seals and one evening we spotted a pod of dolphins crossing the harbour which was an unexpected bonus.

    The property is in a great location to enjoy all St Ives has to offer. It is a few minutes walk from the town and long stay car parks. There is an excellent Co-op and Chippy a couple of minutes away. The property was comfortable and mostly clean. It would benefit from a few more homely features and, for example, a welcome pack.
