Location:
The location is excellent, and is far enough away from St Ives to enjoy peace and quiet, but close enough to walk (1.5 miles) or bus right next to the house (£3.60 rtn) or Train (65p each way). Be advised , the train line is down by the beach and at the bottom of a steep hill. You can park there for £5 a day, and trains are once an hour. The bus is approx every 8 minutes and the best bet.
Local Amenities,
There is a good pub within walking distance that is dog friendly and serves meals. Tesco is a 5 minute walk away, there is a vegetarian restaurant, a Mediterranean restaurant and a fish and chip take away/restaurant within walking distance. There is a chemist, local shop/post office, hairdressers/barbers and vets also withing walking distance. There are numerous hotels you can eat at too.
Property.
I have never experienced a rental with such a high level of quality decor. It is a very comfortable home and a credit to the owners. If I was to suggest a few small improvements it would be a baking tray for the oven, Faster Wi-Fi, a TV in the second or third room for the children, larger waste bin outside but none of the above negated the stay at the property , just nice to haves. The photo of the property is dated and the rear garden is now grass and not paved. but there is still a considerable seating area
If i was to look at the main negative point of this property is the approach, it is up a very steep driveway, and not suitable for those less mobile, pushing a wheel chair up would be a struggle. The property is at the top of this drive and if you have a large car you are really going to struggle. you can drive straight into the parking spot but if you want to turn around and reverse onto the drive you have multiple small walls, a telegraph pole and another property to avoid in doing so. Not turning round means you have to reverse down the steep drive and blindly out onto a busy road.
In Summary, I would more than recommend this excellent property and if you have a smaller car you will be fine :)
