Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mrs Perkins
This is our 13th stay at The Locker. It really is home from home. The Locker has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Location is perfect, close to the centre of St Ives and to the many beautiful beaches. Our dog Luna also enjoyed her holiday. We have already booked for next year.
Mrs Loughran

Mr Cheney

Will be returning when we can
Mrs Shires
Another brilliant stay at The Locker can’t wait to return in September.
Mrs Ascroft
Great little place for two, I stayed with my daughter and our cockerpoo and we had the best time. Straight out the door to the beach, a restaurant or down to the harbour and back for a shower or to dodge a shower just as quick.
Mr Smith
Lovely little place to stay close to parking and beaches but tucked away from the busy streets.
Good sized property, with everything you will need for a week away. The kitchen is very usable with everything you could need. Loads of storage for clothes etc. Would stay again.
Mrs Cox
We have stayed before. Fabulous location, central to where we wanted to be. We had everything we needed in the locker. The bed was really comfortable.
Mr Atherton
A very good well appointed apartment.
The air purifier is not an issue with noise only a low background hum.
Comfy bed and additional covers if required.
Mrs Michael
Compact but comfortable property ideally located very close to the best St Ives beaches, perfect for dog owners and anyone wanting to wild swim. All the essential kitchen equipment and nice and clean when we arrived. A very enjoyable autumn break.
Mr Gordon
2nd time we have stopped at the locker
So we must like it. Very dog friendly.
Ms Pooley
The Locker was pretty much as we expected from the pics, description and reviews, although we did feel that the attention to detail on the cleaning could have been better. The main living area is pretty compact but it was big enough for the two of us and our small dog and the kitchen was well equipped. The bedroom is a really good size, with plenty of cupboard space and we found the bed super comfy. There is noise from the extraction unit as described - I took earplugs just in case but it definitely would have annoyed me if I hadn't, so be careful if this kind of thing bothers you. The hard floors throughout are fine but there is no door mat, so be prepared to be forever cleaning up sandy / wet / muddy feet and paws as the front door comes directly into the living area. The location is great and really handy for everything. Overall despite little niggles, we would recommend it and had a good stay.
Mrs Shires
Another amazing stay at the Locker,
So close to the beaches,parking,shops,pubs and restaurants.
Our 2 dogs settle in so quickly which makes a relaxing holiday for all of us.
Great cottage lovely decor very comfy bed and very well equipped kitchen.
Can’t wait to come back in 2025!

Mrs Perkins
Another wonderful stay at The Locker. It is a lovely little cottage with everything you need on your doorstep. We bring our dog Luna with us and she loves it too. Highly recommended.
Miss Fitton
Our second stay at The Locker definitely did not disappoint. It has everything we need and the central location is perfect for us to just potter around on foot and enjoy beautiful St Ives.
Mrs Cotton
The Locker is a lovely little cottage, plenty of space for a couple, ideally for any with mobility issues ,flat and close to the car park & beaches. Aspects a great company to deal with also always there to help if needed..be back soon ..
Mr Reichert
We (couple + small/mid-size dog) enjoyed very much our stay in The Locker. Great location in the centre of St. Ives, but completely quiet. Also enjoyed the proximity to the beaches for a morning-swim or surf, or walking the dog at Porthmeor in the morning.
The apartment is very clean, well equipped and lovely decorated, offering everything we needed. Definitely take it on our list for returning. Parking? Well, parking is always an issue in St. Ives - we have been lucky to find a place at Island carpark mostly.
Little detail to bear in mind for surfers: there is no outdoor area for hanging up wetsuits.
Very kind and prompt communication with "aspects holidays" in case of questions.
Mr Payne
The Locker is perfect for 2 people and pet friendly. Ideal central location for beaches and the harbour and Fore street shops.
Mrs Shires

Mrs Jagus
Lovely place for everything nice art shops nearby to ponder round love it.
Miss Waters
Great location for shops , restaurants and beaches. This was my 2nd stay in The Locker and I would definitely recommend . Kitchen is very equipped and clean and the bed was lovely and comfortable.
Mrs Firth
The locker is ideal for a long weekend stay or a short break, in a fantastic location and some lovely touches and weekend essentials . Great for dog walks on the beach in Autumn , I would recommend bringing your own throws and dog towels etc as the bedding and towels in the actual cottage are white white and I was glad I had brought covers as you usually do when taking pets on holiday . Overall , it’s in a great location for all St Ives has to offer .
Mr Ward
The Locker is ideal for a couple .It is in a fantastic location for accessing the beaches ,town centre shops and pubs .
Mrs Griffin
The Locker is a great little apartment very close to everything St Ives has to offer.
Arrival during peak season was a bit stressful as street very narrow - ended up jumping out quick and dumping bags to try and find car park.
Saw most if St Ives carparks that day (!) but eventually parked at the sports centre.
Nice steep walk down into town which we didn't mind.
Info in apartment said there were recycling bins at the sports centre so we took a big bag for a trip up the steep walk but, sadly, no recycling bins to be found!!
Loved St Ives, lovely food and just asked on the day and had no issue with booking. Food at Silco was amazing!
Mrs Perkins
This is our 10th stay at The Locker and we love it. We bring our cocker spaniel Luna with us and she loves it too. Close to shops, pubs, beaches and the beautiful harbour. The cottage has everything you need for an amazing carefree holiday.
Mrs Hopewell
Great location and perfect for a couple. Bedroom was a good size and could probably easily accommodate a travel cot. Tiled floor throughout made it really easy to sweep up sand brought in. Would definitely book again.
Mr Martin

We have just returned from our 9th stay at The Locker. We absolutely love this cottage as it has everything you could possibly need. Very close to all beaches, restaurants and the town centre. Our dog Luna also had a fabulous time.
Mr Smart
We really enjoyed our stay at The Locker. It was our first time in a self catering apartment and we were very pleasantly surprised. Everything we needed was provided. The description we received from Aspects was totally accurate. It was very clean and comfortable. It had a WiFi Smart TV Radio washing/drier machine. Close to restaurants and beaches. Really recommend this property
Mrs Boardman
Great cottage for 2 plus dog, compact and bijou and well decorated throughout. Bed really comfortable. Cottage location is 5 star and near to beaches and all the restaurants, cafes etc. We did some fantastic walks from the cottage to Zennor, Lelant and Penzance. We had some fantastic meals including Sloop inn ( vegetarian fish and chips !!). Would thoroughly recommend
Mr Ford
Great location for easy access to the many wonderful attributes that St Ives has to offer.
Ms Charles
The locker is a very comfortable place to stay, with everything you need for a great holiday. Good use of space and a decent size shower room. Ideally situated for beach and the town. Definitely would stay again.
Mrs McLoughlin
We have just got back from The Locker in St Ives. Location was fantastic, right between Porthmeor and Porthgwiggen beach, just a few streets away from the main bars and restaurants, so you dont get too much noise. The apartment had everything we needed, lovely warm shower and great TVs for snuggling up in the evening. The only negative I would have to say is because it's a ground floor, there was a bit of noise from upstairs because they had children, and as lovely as the sash windows were they let in noise into the bedroom. Wouldn't recommend for light sleepers, but overall a lovely week away to relax on the beach
Mrs Worthington
Location of the Locker excellent. Small but comfy and warm. We enjoyed our holiday in this property
Mrs Jackson
Fabulous location, helpful owners and cosy clean studio perfect for a couple and small pooch. Would highly recommend.
Ms Bourne

We had such a good week staying here this year and love how we got to take our two fur babies with us we have booked for two weeks next year!

This was our second time at The Locker. This time we brought our dog Ruby who enjoyed it as much as we did. This cottage is in a great location within easy reach of all what we needed. Well equipped and clean and tidy. Would recommend and will probably stay here again.
Mrs Burke

Although weather was terrible, a most enjoyable holiday. Location of the Locker is so convenient for getting around St Ives.

Miss Whitehurst
The Locker is a lovely apartment with easy access, we had a lovely time staying there and so did our little dog, very snug, warm and cosy.
Mr Curwain-Broad
No comment
Mrs Kiernan-Firth
Fabulous little place to stay in St Ives, especially if you plan to be out and about all day. Comfortable bed and clean linens, the smart tv is a bonus.
We will be staying again in the future.
If you are staying in winter I can imagine it is cosy as it has underfloor heating, and in summer when it's extra hot it is very cool in property due to the tiled floor.
We would recommend.
Mr Harker
The Locker was very grubby on arrival and lacked basic kitchen utensils. The cottage was noisy from the residents above it.
Mrs Perkins
This is an excellent cottage and very close to beaches, restaurants, pubs and the beautiful harbour. This is the 6th time we have stayed here and could not ask for more. Our dog Georgie also loves it. The cottage has everything you need for a fantastic holiday. We will be back again in 2017.
Mr Harpham
Compact and bijou property in central St Ives location.
Mrs Harrison
My husband and I have just returned from a fabulous short break with our dog. The location is fantastic and the accommodation very comfortable and well equipped for 2 - we would definitely recommend this property and will be booking again!
