Perfect home base in St. Ives

We enjoyed our week in St. Ives and this rental made it easy. It is conveniently located within a short walk to the bus, grocery store, harbour and beaches. The space is beautifully decorated with all of the modern conveniences we needed over the course of the week. We would recommend this rental without hesitation and would love to return.

Unfortunately we arrived to a house that needed cleaning. Myself and hubby spent the first 45mins cleaning it. We only cleaned the basics but it really needed a good clean everywhere and furniture pulling out. Also it was tired and could do with some TLCFor us as a family , It’s was under the acceptable standards but the type of people we are we just made it our home and made the most of our stay and had a wonderful few days. Nice touch having a Christmas tree and a few Christmas decorations around. We appreciated this . Thank you

Good afternoon. Many thanks for your review and we are sorry that the house was not up to your standards with cleanliness. We always ask our guests to let us know immediately upon arrival if there are any issues at all with the house as we are conscious that people, like ourselves expect a holiday home to meet their standards. It is disappointing that you felt that you and your husband had to spend 45 minutes of your holiday cleaning the basics, as our housekeeper is only minutes away and this could have been rectified easily. It should not have happened in the first place but we are always happy to listen to our guests if they feel it is not to their standard. With regards the house looking tired and needing TLC, the house is a traditional Cornish home so again not sure what needs updating. We are disappointed that you felt this and would appreciate it if you could be more specific as we spend as much time as possible keeping the house updated with decorating and furnishings that are in need of replacing. We always accept constructive criticism and respond accordingly, but rather than vague criticism, specifics are what we can respond to. Once again many thanks for taking time to provide feedback but would appreciate specific detail. This can be done via our email kernowekperle@gmail.com Kind regards David and Helen

Family holiday

We had a weeks’ holiday in the Cornish Pearl with our 2 daughters and dog. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing stay in St Ives & was in a great location, just near enough to the town and the beaches but far enough away to escape and have some peace and quiet. The hosts were very helpful and answered any queries we had promptly. We would definitely go to St Ives and stay at the Cornish Pearl again.

Upon arrival we obtained the key from the lock box and we were able to park our car opposite the unit which was super convenient. The Cornish Pearl is very well located being very close to downtown and the waterfront. The accommodation was spacious for 4 people. The kitchen had all the amenities for preparing meals. The sleeping accommodation was comfortable although we had to negotiate two flights of stairs. The unit was clean and tidy. What we enjoyed most was walking distance to everything we needed including a doctor’s surgery which was needed by a member of our group of 4.
