Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs Donoghue
Great location for us, close enough but still out the way of the busy main Street. Lovely cottage for 2 adults, possibly to younger children too. Park and unload outside the door.
Would definitely stay again.
Miss Purnell
The property was in a brilliant location, close to everything. Accommodation was clean. Will definitely be booking to stay there again next year.
Mr Shaw

Mrs Burke
Another lovely holiday in St Ives, Bakehouse Cottage very cosy &perfectly situated also so easy to unload!!which can sometimes cause a problem. Aspects as usual give an excellent service.
Mr Fairie
Have been coming to St Ives for near on 40 years and have stayed pretty much everywhere. We have booked through Aspects several times and always had good experiences in the properties we've stayed.
That being said, I don't think we'll be staying at the Bakehouse Cottage again. We were quite disappointed with the cleanliness and general state of the property. In particular, there is a damp problem in the property (which is expected to an extent in old buildings like this), but due to the general disrepair of the windows is exasperated. Blinds and curtains have therefore suffered mould damage.
Aspects were great in dealing with what issues they could, but believe the property is in need of an update throughout.
Despite these issues, we enjoyed our week away. Property aside, St Ives always delivers a chilled break away from home.
Mr Shaw
3rd time at bakehouse cottage great position close to the harbour, shops beaches, car parks, restaurants, even alfie the dog likes it at this cottage we will be back 2024, thanks again aspects.

Mrs Mercer
Wonderful little house, perfect location, so close to all the beaches, shops and more importantly bakeries!
Extremely cosy and comfortable, but spacious enough for our family of four (plus baby).
We had a little blip with our electrics on our first day, but aspects dealt with this promptly (it was fixed while we were out at the beach for the day) and it did not affect our holiday in any way. Great communication at all times, extremely helpful and attentive staff who go above and beyond!
3rd time booking with aspects and will definitely book again and recommend!
Many thanks from one very happy family!
Mrs James
The location is perfect for the beaches and for going into town, the bathroom is nice and big and the shower was lovely. Wouldn’t say there was enough seating in the living room for 4 but there was only 3 of us so that was ok for us. It did feel like the furnishings were a bit tired and could do with a spruce up, a few stains on the carpets and things.
Mr Symes
The bakehouse is a lovely little place in the heart of St Ives. For us, the location is exceptional. It is great for the harbour, Porthgwidden and Porthmeor beach. It is perfect for couples or small families. It has enough space for what you need for a short holiday. Not for larger families or those that have lots of stuff.
The 'balcony' was not great, it over looked a car park at the back. But most of all it was dirty, the seating on there was filth and not fit for purpose. Clearly it have been left from Winter and not cleaned in preparation for the spring/summer season. That said, the rest of the property was great.
I would definitively recommend if you are looking for a centrally located small place to stay. It has everything you need, is clean and in a great place.
Mrs Baggs
It was our second stay in this lovely cosy cottage ! Location is perfect .Was lovely to have a bath in the property as well as the lovely shower ! The central heating made it really toasty and warm and the washing machine is an added bonus .
Very well equipped & very spacious for just the two of us .Will definitely be back again !
Mrs Hunter
you can use all the above as a review. very disappointed
Mr Shaw
Thanks aspects ideal place, close to everything, harbour, car park, sloop & the beach for Alfie our dog.
Mark, lynne & Alfie the staffie.
Mrs Duffy
We had a lovely stay at Bakehouse cottage. The location was perfect - just around the corner from 3 fabulous beaches, with all of the amenities of the town on your door step. The cottage itself was lovely and cosy, and the high ceilings meant it didn’t feel too cramped. We managed to fit 2 teenagers into the bunks and whilst space upstairs was tight, it was adequate for the four of us.
Mrs Bowen
Lovely cottage , great location we were able to unload at the cottage before parking in the very nearby island car park which also has great dog walking facilities . The cottage is literally a stones throw from the harbour , town & restaurants .The cottage was clean on arrival nicely decorated and homely although could do with some kind of heater in the lounge in the winter months , would definitely stay here again
Mr Shaw
Lovely cottage close to harbour, beaches & island car park. So easy to unload the car without blocking the street. My wife me & alfie the dog found this property A1.
If you do stay for a week & you have a car its worth getting a weeks rover ticket from Cornwall Council, its £49-24 for the week and you can park the longstay car parks around Cornwall & you don't have to keep going to the machines.

Mrs Horne

Mr Dyer
Really enjoyed stay. Was lovely cottage and well positioned for loading + fantastic location. Great that owner provided essentials Tea Coffee Milk Tea Towels etc. Would definately use cottage again.
Mrs Boothroyd-Gibbs
Bakehouse Cottage was fantastic! The location could not have been better with both the beaches and the town centre only very short walks away. Despite this the cottage was quiet and Peaceful. There was more space in the property than we had expected and plenty of room for two adults and two small children. The key access was really easy and made for a simple arrival and departure. We would definitely book Bakehouse again.
Mrs James
We had a great holiday at Bakehouse Cottage. Excellent location for beaches and the town. Cottage lovely and clean and everything you need for a wonderful holiday would definitely go back to Bakehouse Cottage.
Mr Walshaw
Brilliant property in an amazing location for the town , beach and long stay parking . We loved St. Ives with great food and amenities.

Mr Glenister
charming cottage in perfect location, did not need to use our car at all, amenities right on the doorstep. Very good that we could unload our car outside the property as roads are so tiny. Interior beautifully decorated with many thoughtful touches. Brand new kitchen & bathroom. Furniture and decor extremely delightful. Ideal for two adults and a small dog. Local shop supplied good quality food and wine. Perfect for art lovers and potters. Cannot wait to go back!

Bakehouse Cottage is a compact, cosy and homely cottage with everything that you need and would suit a couple or a family with young children. The cottage is nicely decorated and furnished and is in a good location for Porthmeor and Portgwidden beaches and is very close to the harbour. It is also dog friendly which is fantastic.We would definately stay again.

Great for a long weekend, warm and friendly with good facilities. Well furnished with amenities required for a stay and the location is very appropriate with what we were looking for from a long weekend - food, restraunts and beaches to walk the dog
Mrs Pardoe
Bakehouse Cottage has a lovely happy and relaxed feeling. We loved all of the personal touches likes the unique art work, lovely snuggle blankets and beautiful furniture.
The kitchen was fully equipped and we were able to cook a delicious duck for our Christmas dinner.
Thank you so much for decorating the property in Christmas decorations- what a lovely surprise and made it feel like a home from home.
Overall an amazing little cottage for a lovely relaxing stay...simply open the door and roll on down to the sea and The Sloop!
