I really loved how cozy it was and the attention to detail. The place was spotless and just really lovely. I loved that they had an extra warm blanket to use and robes.

    This is a beautiful 2-bedroomed apartment in a great location. It is a must see as the photos don't do it justice. It is pretty, cosy, spacious and quiet and brilliant to come home to after pottering around gorgeous St Ives, or hopping on the nearby B Bus to experience the bustle of Cambridge. The host left us some lovely treats and all of the necessary cuppa requirements too, which was very thoughtful. Such a find as it is only an iron gate away from the town centre. Perfect for our family visit and a must to experience again.

    The location was perfect for us - a short walk into the town centre for the function we were attending. The accommodation itself was outstanding. Clearly the host has thought about everything that their guests might need and managed to achieve it all in a small space. It is beautifully decorated and well equipped, clean, comfortable and quiet. The host responds quickly to messages and is very helpful.

    The property was beautifully laid out, exceptionally clean, comfortable and in a great location. It had everything needed to relax, eat in, and was ideal for all the restaurants, cafes in the town. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet even though it was close to the town centre. It was also superb for getting to other towns and cities nearby. Car park space was brilliant as it enabled us to walk to everywhere but we could easily go out if we wanted to.
