Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mr Fenech
Great cottage in perfect location. Stairs leading to bedrooms are steep so not ideal for children or elderly people. Nicely decorated.
Mr Mayes
We stay in Downalong, St. Ives each year as a family of 4. Jacks is a terrific location but very small. Single small downstairs room serves as kitchen / dining / lounge whilst second bedroom is angular in shape and limited to 2 single beds arranged at right angles on the first floor and a large bedroom on the second floor up a steep set of narrow stairs.
Mr McVicar
We had fantastic short break at Jack's. Jack's is in a great location and is great for a young family!
Would definitely go back there!
Mr Kehoe
Nice property. Good locale and fairly decent throughout. Living room/kitchenette a bit cramped.
Mrs Longden
Lovely little cottage in a perfect location for all the gorgeous beaches and the town.
Ideal cottage to stay in for a holiday...would recommend!
Mrs Humphries
Overall a comfortable clean stay at Jacks for four adults and a furry friend. It is in an excellent location for several beaches, the town, harbour and many restaurants. Parking was available close by at The Island car park for an additional charge.
Mr Hughes
May suit some guests as the location is very good, but unfortunately not what we are use to needs some TLC to fetch it back to scratch.
THIS IS NOT A PROPERTY FOR 4 ADULTS
2 adults 2 small children at the very best
Mr Fulstow
The property is in a great location and ideal if you want to stay on the St Ives beaches for a week. However for the price paid, furnishings need updating, in particular the bed mattresses and a new toilet is essential.
Mrs Heath smith
Perfect location , immaculately cleaned .
Mrs Furlong
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jacks. Excellent location, 2 minute walk into the town centre, but not on main drag so quieter than other parts of St Ives. Very close proximity to all the beaches.
Very clean & comfy house. This is the 4th house / cottage we have stayed at in St Ives & Jacks was definitely our favourite. Would stay again!
Mr Whiteway
Excellent cottage via Aspects. 5th year in a row we have booked via Aspects and always super impressed with service and quality of properties.
Mr Wilson
Jacks cottage is in a brilliant location, minutes from 3 of the main beaches as well as the town. There is also a grocery store (norway stores) a few doors down which is really convenient, although the stairs are mentioned in the advert you soon get used to them, i stayed with children age 10 and 15, i wouldn't recommend it for young children. Jacks cottage is cosy at night but is also light and airy and decorated lovely, it has everything you need in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay in jacks and would stay again.
Ms Pender
Spotlessly clean, well provided cottage in an ideal location near to beaches, shops, cafes etc.
Mrs Crowhurst
Great location and lovely property. Unfortunately, the TV is not the one in the picture and is not a Smart TV, so you can't watch programmes on catch-up or Netflix. It was also unwatchable during most of our stay due to interference.
Mr Lonsdale
Cracking little accommodation, great location and very clean inside.
No washing machine but that is clearly stated in the description.
Pet friendly and the dogs enjoyed it just as much as us.
Miss Kempson
Jack's is a really lovely cottage - spotlessly clean, comfy beds and everything you need in the kitchen. It's in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes from Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches, and seconds from the very-well-stocked Norway Stores. We've stayed in quite a few cottages in St Ives over the years, and this is definitely one of our favourites.
Mrs Shaw
Lovely property, ideal location, loved our stay as always
Mrs Whitfield
Lovely place to stay, had everything we needed and beds were nice and comfortable. We had a great holiday and look forward to coming back.
MRS BRAILSFORD
Fab location and lovely character cottage would definitely recommend ??
Mr Dunlop
Wonderful cottage in the perfect location for the beach and the town. Beautifully decorated, with everything we needed for our stay - the welcome basket was incredibly useful when we arrive at 1am. Only feedback would be that the stairs are very steep and windy which isn’t made clear in the ad and could make holidaying difficult for those with young families or mobility issues.
Mrs Middle
Lovely clean and comfortable property within easy reach of beaches, shops and restaurants. Handy little shop almost next door was a bonus. The stairs are open with no handrail which is in the property description but they were not a problem, just had to be a little bit more careful, especially after a G&T! I’ve got 2 other properties booked for next year but would stay here again. Thankyou Aspects for another great holiday!!
Mrs Chivers
Enjoyed our stay in this quirky cottage, great location for the beach, harbour and shops.
Mr Proto
Lovely cottage with a really cosy feel. Perfect location - central position. Great little shop a few steps away where you can get anything you need. Comfortable and very clean, with everything you need for a holiday. Wish we could have stayed longer! Definitely recommend staying there and look forward to our next holiday there.
Mr Greaves
Location great, perfect for us. Loved the property, however the lack of washing machine and even a small fridge freezer means we probably wouldn't use this one again. BUT we have already booked again with you for next year x
Mrs Bellis
Perfect location for Porthmeor beach and the harbour. Allowing 2 dogs to stay with us made our family holiday complete, thank you.
Mr Cutler
Mr Pickton
Stunning location and sound facilities. We were just two adults; would imagine it to be quite crowded with two children as well! It was great for us, and the attic bedroom is wonderful.
Miss Dyer
Jacks was an excellent location and had all the features for a relaxing holiday! Very nicely finished and great it accepted a dog! Would stay again and recommend to others!
Mrs Bowden
A lovely cosy cottage in a great location. Well equipped with comfortable beds and nicely furnished.
Mrs Hawthorne
A perfect cottage in a perfect location.
Ms Paynter
Great position and full of original character: so convenient for the town and especially Porthmeor beach, you can hear the sea at night which is magical.
Mr Sammarco
It is situated on a busy road and there is no rear outside area.
Mrs McKenzie
We recently stayed at Jacks and would definitely book again. Lovely cottage in a central location. Really enjoyed our stay.
Mr Dutton
Superb little cottage. Very cosy and in a super location right in the heart of beautiful St Ives.
Ms Coles
Perfect location close to shops and beach but not noisy.
Really comfortable beds and everything you need for a relaxing time.
Enabled us to really relax which made it hard to leave.
Ms McQueen
I would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it.
Ms Manifold
Perfectly located..cute little cottage close to all amenities. Great place to stay. Not ideal for elderly guests or anyone with mobility problems. We are in our 40's and had to be careful on the steep stairs..especially as they have no carpet and maybe slippery.
Great for toning your legs though!
Mrs Ward
Not suitable for young children...elderly..disabled or infirm
Mr Cashin
We loved Jacks! We've stayed in a few properties in St. Ives and we reckon this was the best so far. Lovely décor and furnishings, trendy & chic, a warm & comfortable environment. The coal-effect gas fire is very cosy. A great location on Back Road East and you can unload the car a few yards away outside the Chapel. Even better, a one minute walk to The Sloop! We'd definitely stay again.
Mrs Wakefield
Small, but comfortable. No oven = eating out every night! Super clean, very close to the town.
Mrs Harrison
Thought the kitchen was a bit bashed up! Armchairs could have been more comfortable! Shower curtains over bath probably need improvement. This is the first time we have used you but we are happy with yourselves just thought the property could do with some tweaks but loved St Ives as usual so overall happy :)
Mrs Jackson
Good basic cottage but a fantastic location.
Mrs Roberts
Cottage lovely and clean
