Highly recommended if you are looking for an affordable accommodation near St Ives.
Very well equipped chalet and plenty of room for a large family. It was clean and comfortable. Close proximity to St Erth’s park and ride train station where you can catch a 10 min train journey to St Ives. Also short distance drive to the beautiful Hayle beaches, Carbis Bay or St Michael’s Mount. Staff were very friendly too and provide all the information we needed. I’d highly recommend it.
Overall it was an excellent stay. However, if I have to be picky, the house had a strong ‘stale’ smell when we first got in. This was expected this time of the year and low in season. We opened all windows and doors and 30 mins after the smell was gone. I’d expected there would be no smell during the summer months when the accommodation would be used and aired more frequently. Some cupboards had the same smell so I’d suggest opening and airing them too when you first get in. In addition we never worked out how to use the shower upstairs. It kept flipping from being boiling hot to freezing. The shower downstairs is better but has low pressure. Lastly the kitchen has only a small fridge with no freezer compartment. It was ok for us as we were only staying for 3 nights, but if you are staying longer and planning on ordering a food shopping to be delivered there, please keep this in mind. Don’t let any of this put you off. It’s only minor things and it’s still recommend the place.
