Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mr Greaves
A Really nice property situated in an ideal location near Stives centre. A clean property with good storage space perfect for a family of four.
Mrs Jeens
Enjoyed a wonderful family holiday at Harbour View Cottage. It's in a fabulous location and a lovely property. Beds are very comfortable and handy having a washing machine. Aspects staff are really friendly and helpful if you need to get in touch with them. We would return to this holiday property again!
Mrs Tegg
I doubt you would be happy to report my views on this property.
Mr Chandler
An Attractive cottage, with easy access to the main day time and night time attractions of St Ives.
We were both old and infirm, and enjoyed the short walk to the Sloop Inn where there was live music and real ale. Maybe our choice of September Festival time was advantageous.
Mrs Ellis
Great location for restaurants and beaches
Mrs Tegg
I prefer not to leave a review
Mr Cashin
Another fantastic stay with Aspects. Harbour View cottage is in a superb location between Harbour beach and Porthmeor beach. Seconds from Fore street and the quayside too.
The rooms are larger than most other cottages we've stayed in around Downalong and were all very well presented. Very comfortable beds, lovely towels and a big, walk in shower. A lovely, cosy cottage.
Mr Green
Perfect location for ease of beaches and town.
Compact living area, small for family of 4.
Comfy beds.
Nice window view from top.
Somers
Lovely cottage with great location.
Unfortunately we had to waste time complaining about a leaky kitchen tap which flooded the kitchen floor and which clearly was known about before our stay and not dealt with before or during our stay despite our many complaints. Only at the end of the stay after multiple complaints did we even get an apology. This was the fault of Aspect they can and should have properly dealt with this much earlier.
Also despite saying the essentials were included, the lack of soap, shower gel, washing-up liquid, toilet paper (only one roll), cooking oil, salt and pepper meant that we had to waste time and money buying these things. Arriving at a property with no soap is not something we expected.
Mrs Beecroft
We had a very enjoyable stay at Harbour View Cottage. Whilst it is a small cottage it was fine for the 3 of us and the location was spot on being very near to the beaches and harbour. We found it was a quiet location too, just away from the hustle and bustle of Fore St & The Digey. It was clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed.
Mrs Duffy
Very comfortable accommodation, perfect location next to harbour, beaches, shops and restaurants - but still quiet and peaceful. The cottage also had body boards, wind break, umbrella, which was so handy, when travelling from Edinburgh to St Ives, this saved lots of space in the car!
Mrs Briggs
Lovely cottage in an excellent location for easy access to town and beaches. Very well equipped for your stay. Aspect Holidays were very quick to resolve an issue with the shower do cannot fault their service. Travel light as there is no parking but great availability at the rugby club which you can book for the week.
Mr Lloyd
The location of Harbour View Cottage is brilliant. It's great for the beaches, harbour and shops. It does sleep four at a push but, to be honest, it's more suitable for two. Good TV.
Mrs Yeardsley
Had an amazing week at Harbour View Cottage. The location is brilliant everything is in walking distance. The cottage had everything in it you would need. Loved our stay here would book again
MRS Strange
lovely warm clean cottage in a perfect location and great service from Aspect Holidays, but we found the noise from the kitchen floor and paper thin walls both sides was too much to enjoy a nice quiet holiday that we had looked forward to .
Miss Irwin
Lovely cottage, very clean, well furnished and equipped. Very convenient location and lovely harbour view from top floor bedroom. As always excellent service from Aspects staff and would definitely stay here again.
Miss Cheatham
Fantastic location and beautiful decor.
Mr Lloyd
Harbour View Cottage is ideal for a break in St Ives. It's a stone's throw from both beautiful Porthmeor Beach, the harbour and the top shops of Fore Street. Also there's a dozen restaurants and bars just minutes away. Some facilities in the cottage aren't perfect (for example lack of a dishwasher) but the location outweighs the few disadvantages. TV is very good.
Mrs Sangster
Harbour View Cottage is in a great location and it is very welcoming, clean and well equipped. The beds are so comfortable too. We had a lovely holiday and would highly recommend. St Ives is such a beautiful place once you are there you dont want to go anywhere else. Will be back again!!
Mrs Wing
Fantastic location with a beautiful view from the top floor across the harbour.
Well equipped and clean.
Great stay!
Mrs Dams-Cook
We have a lovely stay in this cottage, it was clean, tidy and well equipped. The beds were super comfy and we slept very well.
Mr Warren
This is a lovely cottage in a superb location. Ideal for a couple or young family. Very close to both the harbour and Porthmeor beach.
Mrs Gordon
The staff at Aspects were lovely - so helpful and nice and I loved that they checked in with us the next day so see if everything was ok and when we mentioned a small maintenance issue it was fixed straight away - that was brilliant service!
The cottage was in a perfect position, 10 seconds from the wonderful bakery which was not good for our waistlines(!) and just one min to the beach the other way, in fact the beach was so close we could return to the cottage for the loo, snacks etc if we wanted to without taking all our beach stuff back.
The cottage was clean and the bedrooms were really nice, it was very quiet at night, bed was comfy and the bathroom had a lovely large shower with plenty of hot water. It also had a wind break and chairs which was nice and buckets and spades and a body board -we didn't try the body board but we did build sandcastles....
We parked at Island car park which was no more than a 5 or 6 min walk away which was fine.
We would def come back to this lovely little find in St Ives and def use Aspects again.
Thank you for having us.
Mrs Lennon
Parking is an absolute nightmare. Ensure your holiday home comes with a reserved parking space.
Mr Seed
Super cottage in an ideal location. Well laid out and surprisingly spacious.
Mrs Pritchard
We enjoyed Harbour View Cottage, its very well situated with St Ives town and harbour a stones throw away. Porthmeor Beach just a minute or two walk up the road. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable.
Ms Bent
Perfect location for exploring St Ives. The high street literally seconds away. We found a lovely local Deli, Norway Stores, open early on Sunday to buy fresh pastries.
The cottage was very comfy and the beds were wonderful- slept well every night.
We didn’t cook in but there were very good facilities if you wanted to. Shower was huge and powerful.
Mr Okeeffe
Another fantastic stay in St Ives, I only use Aspects now as their service is second to none. Nothing but helpful and the girls who work in the offices are lovely. Thanks you once again! See you in Feb!
Mrs Beckles
Really lovely cottage, excellent location. Well equipped.
Ms Schofield
Perfect cottage in the centre of St Ives , loved our stay here and would definitely use again. Well equipped and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Just a 2 min walk to our favourite restaurants and pubs and the beaches but still found it to be very quiet place to stay. Highly recommended.
Mrs Sefton
Harbour View Cottage is in a wonderful location yet was very quiet in the evenings. The equipment and furnishings are of a high standard and the beds were super comfy. Will definitely return.
Mrs Moore
Fantastic location, yards from the harbour in one direction then to Porthmeor beach in the other. Cottage is small downstairs but perfectly adequate, plenty of space upstairs. Cottage has beach chairs, windbreaks and body boards, we didn't need these during storm Dennis! Even though this cottage is located directly in the centre it was surprisingly quiet. We would have no hesitation in returning.
Mrs Gilmore
The harbour view cottage was very central and perfectly located.
Mrs Chubb
A super property ideally located close to the centre....we enjoyed a lovely week here.
Mrs Brindley
Amazing location, clean and well equipped. Lots of nice touches like the use of beach equipment available for guests and dvd collection. Beautifully decorated throughout, close to everything and reasonably quiet.
Mr Jones
Fantastic cottage in an ideal location. One minute walk to Porthmeor or the harbour front. More than enough room for 4 adults.
Everything was clean and washer/dryer handy. And the windbreaks useful.
Would happily stay again.
Ms Sillman
Fantastic cottage, so well equipped. Very well looked after and a pleasure to stay. Brilliant location
So pleased and will book again
Mr Lloyd
The location is what Harbour View Cottage has really got going for it - a couple of minutes in one direction is the harbour and main shopping street while a couple of minutes in the other is the magnificent Porthmeor beach. The smart TV proved too smart for us but this was quickly sorted by the housekeeper. Overall a homely base for a relaxing holiday.
Mrs Carter
Second year we have stayed here, it is an ideal location for town centre and Porthmeor beach. Everywhere is within easy walking distance. The cottage is nicely presented and comfortable. Well equipped with little extras like body boards, wind breaks and beach games as well as board games for the house. Ample kitchen equipment if cooking, but restaurants so good in St Ives we tend to eat out.
Mrs Nicholson
Absolutely fantastic stay in harbour view cottage. This is the second time we have stayed on this property. It was made even better by the fact the windows and blinds had been replaced on the top floor to make our stay even more comfortable. It’s fabulous that in this cottage there are chairs and windbreaks to take on the beach. Also the body boards and games for the beach come in handy. Everything you need for St Ives is provided on this cottage! We would have come back next year but we have another person coming with us so I’m afraid we have had to get a cottage with another bedroom which is a shame as the location is great. It’s situated in the perfect spot but it’s still nice and quiet at night!
Mrs Hill
We loved our week at Harbour View. The cottage was comfortable, very cosy and really well equipped. It was fabulously located for all that St Ives has to offer. We will definitely revisit.
Mrs Dodridge
Lovely house and location we would stay again
Mr. Buxton
Harbour View cottage is exactly as described and what is required for a perfect holiday : excellent location, central but not noisy, very well equipped with all modern facilities, spotlessly clean, light, airy and comfortable. Definately winner for best in class !
Mrs Pritchard
This was our second year at Harbour View and we will definitely be returning. It is so well appointed in a very quiet street and has everything that makes a holiday special. Careful thought has been given to the provision of music, games and water sports.
Aspects area great company, all the staff are very friendly and professional.
Mr Carter
Very thoughtfully kitted out, even had body boards & an IT tablet. Contender for best in class.
Very good & quiet location yet seconds away from the bustle of Fore street & 1.5 minutes walk from standing on the sands of porthmeor beach at a steady walking pace.
Equidistant from the Island & Barnoon car parks. What’s not to like? Hope to see you next year!
Mrs Nicholson
Absolutely fantastic cottage which is situated right in the heart of the bustling busy st Ives town. Even though we were in the heart of St Ives it was so quiet at night. The cottage was well equipped with everything you needed for a fantastic stay, especially loved all the things needed for the beach which included body boards and beach games. Would definitely recommend this cottage. We have already booked again for next year!!
Mrs Pritchard
The cottage is ideally situated in a very quiet cobbled street. We have stayed in several St Ives properties over the years, some of which were very noisy at night. Harbour View is perfect, we had a very restful, enjoyable holiday there and didn't want to come home!
Mr Stapleton
Comfortable well equipped cottage, excellently positioned for beaches, shops and restaurants.
Ms Dunhill
Lovely cottage in a fantastic location!
