Holiday with 3 other family members in St Ives

I had a Brother and Sister in Law visiting the UK from SA and decided to plan a trip to St Ives Cornwall somewhere they had never visited. From the moment we arrived at the Cottage we could tell it was right for us. It was based outside St Ives which worked for us as the Place was jam packed and Parking can be a nightmare. The Cottage itself had everything you could require was quaint, very well presented and comfortable for the 4 of us to spend time together. We were lucky the weather was kind and the opportunity to spend time outside walking BBQ'ing and enjoying the area was great. So this cottage comes well recommended by us if you want a venue that's quaint comfortable has privacy and is in easy access for surrounding areas.!

Bucolic Setting with Gorgeous Views

The cottage sits near a regional road in a bucolic setting with gorgeous views and neighboring pastures. It combines the best of old and new and was renovated by its current owner, John Knee, who lives there when it is not rented. The house is well equipped, decorated with found seaside art and John’s photographs, and includes most modern cons (no clothes dryer). The cottage is 200 years old, which translates into smallish bedrooms. There are two beds, one with a firm mattress in the larger bedroom and a the other with a softer mattress. The one bathroom is upstairs between the bedrooms. The bath / electric shower combo has a window with a pleasant view. The bath is very relaxing. There is a rather steep staircase, which could be problematic for small children and adults with mobility issues. The one drawback for us (or draw for some) is the lack of phone service (Vodaphone & OS-2 for our two mobiles) in the area and occasionally poor Internet. John is on WhatsApp and we found texting on the app was the best way to contact him. There is a space for one car between the stone pillars and near the cottage, just beyond where the owner parks his car, which is closer to the road. Maneuvering parking can be tricky due to the bend in the road which creates a blindspot. There is a rotary washing line for outdoor clothes drying. We had beautiful weather so that worked out well, and we appreciated John’s providing extra clothes pegs. John is a very welcoming and responsive host and addressed our requests very quickly. He is a local and an excellent resource on touring. Mark and Jon at the nearby Engine Inn—highly recommended—were also quite helpful. We had a wonderful time and would certainly stay again, especially if mobile phone service or a landline were made available.

Schönes stilvolles Ambiente

Wir waren 2 Wochen in diesem schönen Ferienhaus in Cornwall. Besonders gut hat uns die Ausstattung gefallen, die keine Wünsche offen ließ. Gute Matrazen, Dusche mit Mischbatterie(!),Veranda mit Aussicht,W-Lan, Fernseher, Bücher, Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine usw.. Der Vermieter John ist ein netter und zuvorkommender Mensch. Der in Sichtweite liegende Pub "Engine Inn" ist schon urig und das Essen i.O.(gibt für Johns Gäste 10 % Discount auf die Speisen). In das Ferienhaus würde ich wieder fahren und kann es uneingeschränkt empfehlen. VG Peter

Peter and family were a delight to have stay, I would defiantly have them back again. They enjoyed the area by cycling everywhere, up and down our many hills! Thank you for your visit.

Perfect

We spent a lovely week at Fairhaven with our baby. The house was immaculately clean, the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, and impeccably presented. John went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was enjoyable. Highlight for me were the cows for company at meal times on the terrace. They would bed down at night not far from the wall. Stunning views of rolling hills too. Pub next door does lovely grub.

Lovely, homely and comfortable cottage with awesome views!

We had a such a great stay here. John was very welcoming and spent time to show us about the cottage but also gave us plenty of tips about what's around and about in the local area. The cottage had everything we needed for a family of four including a lovely garden that the kids could run around in. The views from the various rooms are just amazing! And with the pub just within a stone's throw, it was the perfect location. Lou and Charlotte

Sehr schönes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Cottage

Schön gelegenes Cottage, mit einem wunderschönen Ausblick auf die grünen Hügel Cornwalls. Das Cottage ist liebevoll eingerichtet, hat einen tollen Garten und der Kaminofen am Abend war sehr gemütlich. Der Vermieter ist super nett und man kann sich jederzeit an ihn wenden. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohlgefühlt.

Great!

Fairhaven is a very relaxing and charming cottage. We (4 adults, 2 little kids, Cornwall novices) had a very pleasent stay. We moved around walking, public transportation ("1 week family pass") and taxis: we didn´t miss a car. John is a charming and extraordinary helpful host! It was the right choice for us, very likely to repeat the exerience! Thank you again, John!

Sebastian and crew were a delight to have staying at Fairhaven. I have thanked them for leaving the house so clean and tidy especially as they had a very early start with young children. It would be a pleasure to have them all back again. As a Cornishman it was great to see a family enjoying Cornwall for its natural beauty.
