Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Central location in St. Ives. Superb views of the Harbour from all rooms in the two bedroom apartment. Nice breakfast. Friendly efficient staff.
Negative: Kitchen equipment/crockery was a bit sparse with missing essential items like scissors/bottle openers. This didn't matter as we ate out. Very steep staircases into apartment and again into the bathroom would not suit unfit or guests with limited mobility or those with a lot of luggage but we were informed about this and it was fine for us.
Summary: A comfortable centrally located apartment located above a pub.
