Memorable trip

Loved our stay! Conveniently located, quiet at night! We had problem with shower head and fixed within an hour! Lovely greeting with wine and scones! Top notch all around! Loved all the books too. Only wish: a top sheet and some blankets. Would highly recommend this rental

Perfection!

I loved the bookshop! It is such a warm, homey place filled with books. The location is amazing, right in the middle of town. I could not have loved it more. Jemma was an amazing host. She answered all my questions promptly. Such a wonderful stay!

Little gem in the heart of st Ives

Very relaxing and chilled with every possible piece of kitchen equipment at hand. Comfy bed with lovely soft towels. What a welcome pack, we didn’t need to stock up on anything, all the essentials provided. Very thoughtful of the host.

Bookshop Cottage

I absolutely loved everything about this very central St Ives cottage. It’s only a one minute walk to bars, restaurants, beaches. We stayed for a week and really felt at home. Everything works in this cottage. The lounge is homely, comfy armchairs and has an eating/dining area inside and also in the delightful garden. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the owners left us some fresh milk, orange juice, biscuits and a Cornish cream tea, a bowl of fruit and a bottle of wine, which was extremely welcome. Extra touches were tea, coffee, sugar, cleaning materials, washing up liquid, hand soaps. The owners literally thought of everything you need home from home. The lounge and bedroom have good tvs. The bed was also very comfortable and the bathroom had everything you could need. The cottage was spotless throughout and it was an absolute joy staying there. It’s clear this cottage is very loved. I would definitely stay here again, don’t hesitate to book it.
