Chilling week in St Ives with friends

The cleanliness is first class and furnishings are very good. Virtually everything has been thought out and provided with lots of nice touches. The location is quite good, though it's a steep hill walk back to the apartment. I would recommend it to others.

Overall, this accommodation is great - although the photos make it look like you are looking onto the sea where as you have to sit outside to be able to see it - for one person only. It is on the top of a steep hill but quiet at night.

The location is spot on with the beaches and town just minutes away down a steep hill. Something to bear in mind for anyone who may struggle to get back up the hill by foot. The car park is next to the apartment although the allocated space at the far end which is not a problem. Thereis a side sea view as detailed in the spec.

Great location in St Ives

Lovely property in St Ives - well located and very well appointed. Be prepared to climb hills. Also recommend unless have very heavy items, just park in the space carry things to the unit as driving in and out is tricky. Highly recommend.

Fabulous

We had the best time. The rental company Orange Roof we’re constantly in touch, before, with suggestions for shopping deliveries, during, to say that they had noticed we were missing a tv remote control - we hadn’t noticed and after to ensure we had had a lovely stay. It really was special and we all felt “cared for”.

Great Place - über den Dächern von St. Ives

Bei der Auswahl fanden wir die Nähe zum Strand und zur Innenstadt super. Überragend war jedoch neben der sehr funktionalen und gemütlichen Einrichtung der Wohnung, dass in der Wohnung alles an Ausstattung vorhanden war, was man sich vorstellen kann, bis hin zur kompletten Standausrüstung.

Just two pointers

Needed a socket with a USB point. My Apple iPhone was not compatible with the Samsung plug provided. When we arrived - first impressions were, it looked a bit run down, weeds all along the edge and looked as though it needed a lick of paint. Once we opened the door our fears were allayed. Excellent facilities and very clean.

Zennor apartment St Ives

This apartment is situated close to all beaches,shops and restaurants.Extremely well decorated and the owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and homely.The only problem we had was that we were there for 2 weeks and should have enquired about a linen change which is now apparently available but was overlooked.This is something to enquire about if you have a longer stay.Everything about the apartment is top class and we would definitely book it again.

Fabulous Flat!

We loved this property and hope to return one day! The location is so convenient to the beach, the shops, the Tate museum (and my sister!). The beds were comfy and the shower was wonderful. Each couple had our own bathroom which was a plus. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for cooking meals. The hosts were so kind as to furnish us with Cornwall fresh eggs, milk, cookies and a coffee cake - as well as plenty of coffee pods to get us through our stay. There were even fresh flowers on the table. We felt like special guests. A beautiful, comfortable, clean home. We recommend it anc hope to come again!

Well located and very comfortable with parking.

We found Zennor is a really well located and comfortable property with the (massive) added bonus of reserved parking. The location, just above Tate St.Ives, is really good for Porthmeor Beach or the town itself. Reserved parking in Barnoon car park, literally a minute away, is so helpful in St.Ives where parking is a perennial challenge. We had some problems accessing the property initially, and given that we weren't able to get in till 5pm we are bit disappointed with some cleaning of the kitchen area (dirty glasses, cups and open food packets in the cupboards) but thereafter we found the property to be really comfortable. The open plan living and kitchen area is surprisingly spacious, and both the double and twin bedrooms ar e en-suite. All furnishings and fittings are very good quality, and the kitchen especially was very well equipped for self-catering. We had a really good week and have booked again.

Cosy and great location

Cost cottage in a great location. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed and the cottage was very comfortable. My only niggle was that there was a lot of cupboard space taken up my inessential bits and bobs. For example a cupboard draw filled with Xmas tree bobbles! A kitchen cupboard filled with plastic toddler plates. A cupboard full of jigsaws! We tend to take quite a lot of stuff on a two week holiday and we would prefer more empty space for our own stuff. Apart from that a very nice holiday apartment.

Immaculate apartment, well located for access to all amenities in St Ives

The apartment was spotless and equipped with everything needed to enjoy a holiday in St Ives. The provision of a parking space nearby ensures a hassle-free experience for your stay. I could not fault the accommodation or the agents, Orange Roofs, and would not hesitate to recommend the apartment as the perfect place to stay for a holiday in St Ives.

Well organised Apartment

For my review, I am going to split it out into three parts, which is for a family of 3 (2 adults and an infant) 1. Apartment amenities (we stayed for 1 week) The apartment has all the amenities you need in you have an infant in tow. It is also very organised, and clean (my wife is a bit OCD when it comes to this and even she was impressed by how everything was labelled). Definitely 5 out of 5 here. 2. Location The apartment is located behind the Tate and Porthmeor Beach. What the photos don't tell you is that the view is obstructed from your living room window. We were under the impression we could have breakfast outside with a view of sea, but this was not the case. All you see is the long term parking lot in front of your house. We were disappointed with how this was "shown" in the pictures, as clearly it does not have sea views (the photos have been taken to give that impression). In terms of overral location, its very easy to get to the beach from the house (which is a plus), same with the Tate, and Barbara Hepworth house. It is up the hill, so beware if you are not a big fan of walking up steep hills (I find this unavoidable in St Ives so not all that bothered) Deliveries: this was an absolute nightmare. Not really the fault of the property owner, but nobody seems to really know how to find this place based on the location (the ones provided by the welcome pack via the Orange Roofs app). First delivery took 3hrs, and the second 2hrs. This might be Pandemic related though, as both drivers did tell me they were very short-handed. In any event, if you avoid deliveries and just go to the supermarket, you will be fine. 3. Communication This was excellent as well. Between the information on the Orange Roofs app, and the email reminders, the process for check-in, finding out how the white goods worked, wifi, etc.. was quite smooth. Having everything on an app is very handy in my opinion. Overall, I gave it 4 out of 5 because of the view obstruction issue I talked about in point 2. The organisation and cleanliness of the apartment does reduce the overral annoyance with the view situation (which other reviewers have commented on), so I would take that in mind when considering this apartment.

Super comfortable

This is a lovely apartment and the owners had thought of everything. Super comfy beds, TVs, fully equipped modern kitchen, nice art work. Only drawback for us was the location up the hill behind the Tate. Each of the three routes back from town required a stiff walk uphill. Apart from that, I can’t recommend it enough.

Comfortable and convenient apartment with parking in St Ives

'Zennor' is a beautiful apartment in the lovely town of St. Ives in a very convenient position for the town, harbour and shops in one direction, and the Tate, Porthmeor Beach, and the excellent Porthmeor Beach restaurant in the other. None of the attractions are more than a few minutes walk away (although maybe a bit longer up the hill on the way back!). The 2-bedroom apartment is very comfortable and extremely well equipped with nice bedrooms, bathrooms, lounge, appliances and decoration. It also contains lots of information about the area including maps and walk suggestions. The agents, Orange Roofs, were very helpful with information prior to our visit, and also handled very promptly a minor maintenance issue while we were there. The apartment is on a quiet lane (ideal for unloading on arrival/departure as it is very quiet), and the availability of included parking in the nearby car park is a boon for a place like St. Ives where a car is seldom needed. The only minor comment is that the apartment looks out over the car park (with a view to the right of the Tate and the sea), and is therefore somewhat overlooked by this.
