Gwydn Cottage

Cottage was lovely,but some what ruined by noise from adjacent building work.

Gwynd was very comfortable, well equipped and a perfect location.

Lovely week in St Ives despite it being a bit wet and Gwydn cottage is a fab place to stay. Brilliant service from Aspects when we had a slight problem with the front door. Everything sorted quickly and efficiently!

We booked Gwydn Cottage as a very last minute spur of the moment and was not disappointed with it. It is a lovely place to stay, very well equipped and very central. We have never stayed at this cottage before but would certainly come back.

We’ve booked with Aspects holidays for the past 5 years and never once had any issues, always helpful and get things sorted quickly if needed. Our first visit to Gwdyn Cottage and it won’t be the last, great location, great size for lager families and very well equipped. Booked again for next year through Aspects and will keep using and recommending. Thank you.

Gwydn cottage is lovely, exactly as described. The cottage is very well equipped with everything one might possibly need whilst on holiday.
The location is perfect and our holiday was perfect too!

Beautiful cottage in ideal location for all St Ives treasures.

My family of 5 and 2 dogs spent an incredible week at Gwydn Cottage. The weather was amazing, with the additional benefit of being able to take the short stroll back to the cottage at any time.

We will hopefully be returning for the third time next year.

A lovely cottage in an ideal position for all amenities we have stayed here before and will certainly return.

Great location, property with outside space ??, parking near by, 5 minutes to shops and restaurants, fantastic location for the beaches, would definitely stay again, would highly recommend it.

Perfectly located for us.
Spacious , homely cottage

Lovely cottage in a fabulous position.
The outdoor area at the back was a sun trap and was a lovely extra.
The cottage was homely and welcoming and had all the comforts of home.
The welcome gifts from the hosts were much enjoyed- Thankyou very much.

What an amazing cottage ! Was so spacious and had everything you needed ! Would highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back for another stay !

Amazing,
Well equipped, great location and immaculately kept.
Nothing negative today. Very happy with the cottage and would highly recommend to friends and family

A really comfortable and spacious cottage for my family. Appreciated being able to bring the dogs along too! A great location for walks on the beaches and all that St Ives offers.

Gwydyn Cottage is comfortable and well equipped, beautifully decorated and in a perfect location. We particularly appreciated the box of beach kit outside the back door, and the little midday sun trap where we could sit out on a sunny day - even in February! The design of the living room with the steps down to the back door meant that sandy footwear and damp clothes stayed out of the way, and this kept the rest of the cottage pleasantly sand free. It was great to have the Mermaid seafood restaurant and Norway Stores just round the corner too - really convenient for quick meals and groceries. Firewood and kindling sold at Norway Stores, too. All in all a great stay for a family of five (kids aged 13, 11 and 9). Thanks!

Lovely cottage with perfect location. Kitchen well equipped.

The cottage was really dirty. On arrival appeared to ok then bit by bit I could see the cottage had not been cleaned properly at all. The kitchen worktops were dirty - sugar still remained from previous guests. Carpets hadn’t be vacuumed properly - just vacuumed where you walked. Under the tables beside cupboards were filthy. Marks all over internal doors.The settees downstairs were full of sand. Needless to say I had to clean/vacuum on the first day as couldn’t live like that for the next week.
Also the back of the cottage were really untidy. It had not been seen to in some time by the look of it, lots of debris gathering round the little seating area ie tissues. Could not access the bin to put our rubbish in as it had a lock on so had to leave bin bags of rubbish beside the bin - adding to what’s was left by the precious residents which was an eyesore as so close to back door.
Not sure if this is routine but upon arrival a laundry bag on the front door step (contains fresh towels) was left there even before we could walk through the door with our bags, so we had to carry that through and unpack ourselves.
I think the above issues really need to be addressed, especially the poor level of cleanliness as I didn’t expect to clean the place myself after I arrived - I certainly don’t live like that. Can understand things can be missed but the cottage was consistently dirty.

We have been going to St Ives for a week every year for seventeen years and this is probably our favourite cottage! Absolutely loved its location, how spacious it was and it was really well equipped.

Excellent location

I have mixed feelings about Gwydn Cottage, whilst the cottage is in a good position close to all beaches, restaurants and bars and has some nice features, what tarnished our stay was the cleanliness. I contacted aspects on arrival with photos of stains on bedding plus other instances. Hopefully aspects and the owners will ensure this doesn't happen again.

We had the perfect stay at Gwydn Cottage, it was deceptively spacious, in the perfect location, fully equipped and beautifully presented

‘The ‘ location in St ives. Lounge very nice with the fire. Kitchen adequate but bedrooms very small.
Overall nice for small family. Tougher with 6ft teenagers.

Great accommodation and suitable for children and pets, in fabulous location.

Gwydn cottage was in a great location close to island car park. Lots of seating and handy having a back door. Laid out over 3 floors so there isn’t a toilet on the ground floor.
Equipment provided was great - even had a bed rail for my toddler. The stairs to the upper floor are quite steep so I’d be wary of these with young children but we managed with a toddler.
Overall we would stay again at Gwydn!

Gwydn cottage is a fantastic holiday home. It's clean, comfortable, well equipped and plenty big enough for a family and dogs. It's in the perfect location, very close to everything that St Ives has to offer. We will definitely stay here again.

We had the most wonderful Christmas at Gwydn cottage. Beautifully presented cottage, really well equipped and great location.
Added bonus of a lovely Christmas tree and logs for the wood burner.
Everything was perfect.
Highly recommended

Lovely family space, location great. Loved the cottage as had all comfy items in a home. Nice to find board games/books/DVDs and loved the outdoor box with surf boards/beach stuff for kids.
Access was good from back door as we had dogs.
Will return.
Family of 5 and 2 dogs.

A well equipped and comfortable cottage where dogs are allowed. Good location near Porthgwidden and Porthmeor beaches and the Island. Also close to town and harbour. Stairs are quite steep and narrow especially to second floor.
Spacious lounge and kitchen/dining room but bedrooms are compact like a lot of Downalong cottages. Nice to have small outside area at the rear.

I will not leave a review as this would have an impact on the owners and be a poor reflection on the property which is NOT their fault. The problem is with the poor service the owners are receiving from the cleaners employed by Aspects. The property itself is excellent but it was dirty. I am sure that if the owners were cleaning this themselves it would have been immaculate.

Large, comfortable cottage well located for all areas. Large ground floor lounge and good kitchen and dining on first floor, along with bedroom, although bed is too big for this room. Top floor, a double, with en suite and room with bunk beds. Very nice cottage indeed.

A lovely spacious well equipped cottage, in the heart of everything, we enjoyed our stay thank you.

Perfect location, beautifully appointed , comfortable cottage cleaned to a high standard. The beds were super comfy with lovely quality bedding. What more can you ask ??

Sweet little cottage in a central location. Good amenities available.

Beautiful cottage, could not fault anything in there. Very comfy nights sleep. Perfect location is St Ives. Would recommend to anyone else. Very well looked after cottage

Cottage in great location to explore St Ives. Outdoor space a little disappointing. Kitchen well equipped and lots of space in living areas but bedrooms lack storage and space. House well decorated.

Great location, close to all amenities yet peaceful. The proximity to the Island is fantastic for dog owners. The bedrooms are compact but the spacious living areas more than compensate for that as there will always be compromises in cottages.
We would happily holiday at Gwydn Cottage again.

We had a lovely relaxing holiday , fantastic location 2 minutes from the town . Cottage was very spacious, it had everything you needed home from home . We will definitely be back .

Lovely cottage, perfect location. My family all fitted in beautifully. The house was lovely and warm and there was lots of everything in the kitchen. I loved this house and would deffo go back!

Lovely cottage - very central and well equipped. Just a stones throw from the beaches, restaurants and shops yet in a nice quiet area of town.
The cottage itself is nice and spacious with modern furnishings and has a small outside sitting area which was a real sun trap.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gwydn Cottage!

Great cottage very clean and well presented with great facilities. Great location .thanks Rob and Karen ??

We had a lovely week in St Ives and Gwydn is in a great location. Our young grandchildren love playing on Porthgwidden beach and being so close to the house means such ease in coming and going with paraphenalia. We love the cafes at Porthgwidden, Porthmeor and Porthminster but have learned to book months in advance!

Gwydn Cottage was very well equipped & in a convenient location for the town & Island Car Park. Stayed as a couple but plenty of room for a family, would recommend the property & stay there again.
