Guest Reviews

Leslie
Tremayne is a wonderful cottage beautifully decorated, well equipped with an excellent location. Our family have stayed at many cottages in St Ives and we have no doubt saying that Tremayne is the most pleasant.
Rob
We were all blown away by these two properties when we arrived. Seven adults and three children had more than enough space to enjoy a comfortable holiday in a beautiful property. Easy access for unloading luggage an everything practically a stones throw away. Also saw the owner on leaving who was very helpful on when we stay again, a very nice man. Thank you for everything.
Martin
For our party of 10 adults, 2 of whom had mobility issues, plus a dog, Tremayne and Hideaway provided an excellent base in St Ives. Access to the beaches and shops was very good, avoiding steep hills. And Hideaway's courtyard provided a valuable, private outside space for us all to gather over early evening drinks.
Chris
We rented both hideaway and tremayne and it was Perfect for a large family ranging from a 3 year old to Grandparents and would not hesitate to rebook for another holiday
Richard
Wonderfully equipped cottages, with lovely courtyard to sit and enjoy the sun , or a drink ( or two) in the evening.. Very central and within a few minutes of the beaches, shops, cafes, etc. Seagulls all around ! Nice touch were the washing lines out of site , and beach things for the children ! Lovely vase of fresh flowers in each cottage. Flowers in pots , troughs , and small garden patches every where : just lovely, and a pleasure to water ! Another nice touch the wall mounted hose pipe to wash sandy feet , and maybe even shower in the warm sun ! Thank you .
