The interior is cosy with a classic blend of traditional and contemporary, with lots of little touches throughout to help it feel like a home from home. The property is great for either a romantic stay for two or a small family, as there is an adorable bunk room, perfect for little ones.

Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Ms Harrison
Lovely cottage in central location with shops, restaurants and beaches all within a couple of minutes walk. Very comfortable for two (but space would be too limited for four)
Mr Howland
Excellent accommodation with good standard equipment. Would definitely return. Suits 2 adults plus 2 dogs but as expected it is small and not really suited to 4 adults. Definitely recommend. Great location, easy access to the beaches and restaurants. Recommend getting the County parking permit so you can access the nearby Island car park.
Mr O`Donohue
Cosy and handy, great little place to stay
Mr Allen
Lovely cottage in a perfect location for town and beaches.
Our 3rd visit and no doubt not our last.
Mrs Emmett
Really Lovely property , feels homely. The location is amazing and with in the centre of the high street with in minutes !
Mrs Cook
Lovely cottage in a great location, ideal for Porthmeor Beach. It however needs some TLC, a thorough clean is definitely required along with some work in the shower room, very damp given its location in the property. Several issues with the property when we arrived, broken washer / dryer which is crucial in such a small property, took 4 days to resolve. Large hole in the wall in the toilet, not what you would expect from a property in the height of the season and the premium you pay for that. In my view Aspects could have managed this better. Luckily the weather improved, the sun came out and we had a lovely week.
Mrs Gibbs
This was our third stay at Lobster Pot, now having our 3 month old daughter with us we wanted to stay somewhere we were familiar with and that we knew was comfortable. It really is a home from home, equipped with most things we needed and with plenty of space for the 3 of us.
Miss Boyd
A lovely cottage in the heart of St Ives, near the beaches, cafes and resteraunts.
Lobster Pot is clean, well looked after with everything you need,a veritable home from home ??
Ms Kennedy
The Lobster Pot is a conveniently situated cosy cottage. Tastefully decorated and a good sized master bedroom. The second bedroom is tiny and only suitable for kids. Unfortunately, the bathroom is a standing room only shower room with separate toilet and situated behind the glass panelled glass door so offers no privacy. Would only recommend for a couple.
Mr Garland
We absolutely loved our week stay at the Lobster Pot. Early December is a great time to visit st ives, as it’s quiet and peaceful. Though when the town was busy, it was great to be able to escape home where it was hidden away in the back alleys away from the hustle of town. But still close enough to all that it has to offer. The house itself was beautiful and cosy with a great added touch of a Christmas tree. Only down fall was that the cleaner clearly had a day off when needing to do our cottage. Though this was not at fault of Aspects theirselves, as the cleaners are employed by the home owners. However, when brought up with aspects an offer of another cleaner and a vast amount of sorry presents was amazing and Nikki was great.
If visiting St Ives, make sure to go over to Godrevy and meet the seals and wild ponies who came within metres of us. As well as Phillips pasty shop at Hayle.
Thanks again for a great stay.
Mr Stubbs
Property is exactly as described. Ideal location, just a few steps from beaches and shops. Welcome pack very welcome. Lovely decor tasteful and appropriate. Overall ,well appointed for a comfortable stay, with all that could be needed for self catering. Location is very quiet despite proximity to shops and beaches. This is compact property which is ideal for a couple or a small family. Our stay was not blessed by ideal weather, but the location was so convenient, when a dash to shelter was required. However, the weather being what it was, resulted in some spectacular surf and entertainment watching the brave souls riding it. We had a great week, thank-you.
Miss Boyd
Perfect cottage, near Porthminster and the harbour, always a very high standard of cleanliness , a pleasure to stay there
Mr Bryen
A fantastic cottage, very well equipped, very suitable for a young family or just a couple like ourselves. In an excellent location, a maximum of 2 minutes from the beaches and the shops. We will definitely be returning soon
MRS Gordon
The Lobster Pot is a lovely cottage with many positives but the cleanliness of the property really did let it down enormously.
Be mindful of parking in peak season, it is very difficult as parking spaces are limited even after purchasing the Rover Ticket - this does not gaurantee you a space to park!
Mrs Nokes
I stayed at The Lobster Pot with my Mum for her 80th Birthday gift.
The Cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean and well equipped.
A stones throw from Porthmear, the Harbour and shops.
Very lucky that we had fantastic weather, although Cornwall is stunning all year round and whatever the weather.
We had such a lovely relaxed week, really didn’t want to leave!
Hope to come back soon.

Mr Patrick
It’s a lovely cottage in a perfect location. We have stopped in St Ives for several years and we were worried how we would load/unload given it’s location off The Digey, but we shouldn’t have worried as it was easy to park near St Eia for a very short period before moving the car.
Mrs Mckinty
It was find for two but not for four
Miss Boyd
Stayed at the Lobster Pot, it’s a great cottage, well presented and central, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else ??.
Mrs Clarke

Mrs Parker
Lovely little cottage close to beach and all amenities.
Mr Battle
Lovely property.
Nicely furnished and well looked after.
Really quiet property as well which is unique being situated in the heart of St Ives.
Perfect size for a family of 3 but can imagine would be ideal for couples and a family of 4 also.

Ms Blomley
Decor is lovely, nice little touches in all rooms, location is excellent. Only downside for us as a family of 4 is the small bathroom which is also downstairs. Also unloading/ loading the car proved to be a bit tricky as you just hope you don’t get blocked in ( as we did) or are able to reverse up the Digey without having anyone right behind you ( which we did)
Mr Roper
We were satisfied with every aspect of the holiday cottage, and would recomend it to our friends and family without hesitation.
Mr Newton
Lobster Pot is right in the centre of St Ives so you don't have far to walk to get to the beaches or the shops or the cafes. It's only two minutes to the Tate.
The cottage was very clean and well furnished.
Mr Welsh
Quiet cosy cottage, close to shops cafes and bars, superb chill out place.
Miss Hutchinson
The lobster pot is located perfectly next to the main shops and the beach. It is extremely comfortable, decorated beautifully and provides you with all the equipment you need for the week. Thank you for a lovely stay, will hopefully return very soon! Harry and Emily
