Polmear
Managed by Aspects Holidays
A family bolthole for many years, Polmear is a bright and warm holiday apartment. Ideal for couples looking for a central St Ives location close to Porthminster beach, the harbour front and the delightfully cobbled Fore Street flanked with shops, restaurants, galleries and traditional pubs. Sit in the large bay window and soak up the colours of St Ives harbour with its changing tides, activity and, most beautifully, the sunset on the western horizon.

Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Miss Newson
A lovely, large one-bedroom flat right in the centre of St Ives with a brilliant view from the living room. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here, especially with the buses and train station so close by. The smart TV and comfortable bed was also a plus. We would have been more comfortable if the flat had had a recent deep clean, as there were lots of dog hairs on the carpet and all the furniture felt like it was covered in a film of dirt. Totally understandable with so much use by different people, but would benefit from a proper clean. The wifi was usable but was slow when planning and booking things throughout the week.
Mr Worrall
This property is in a good location, has a lovely view of St Ives harbour, is quite spacious and is relatively affordable in comparison to others. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite meet up to the standard shown on the listing. I think it has just become very tired and needs some TLC. The kitchen utensils and cookware is all very old, well used and not very clean. The bathroom is tired and not well kept and the overall decor in the rest of the property is quite outdated. Additionally the overall cleanliness was not up to standard either. We had a bit of a troublesome stay here. Aspects and their team handled this as best as they could for us at the time, however a lot could’ve been avoided if the property was just properly maintained and cared for.
Mr Holling
Polmear lived up to expectations once again,on arrival the accommodation was warm and inviting as the weather was sunny but cool.The welcome pack was as ever very welcome,hoping to return in August.
Mr Mohite
Great location, stunning views and comfortable leaving
Mr Polmear
The view at the property is probably a bit undersold, great view, very clean, convenient location. The welcome pack is a ten out of ten! Would definitely stay again
Mrs O'Shea
In all the many years we've been visiting St Ives, Polmear is the best place we have ever stayed in. Great location, excellent facilities, very comfortable, relaxing and spacious. The "Welcome" basket of goodies was much appreciated and a very classy touch too!??
Mr Foster
Its our second holiday with aspects at polmear and it never disappoints, its perfect for 2 people the lounge is comfy and theres a firestick which gives you more choice to watch, the kitchen has all the essentials including a washer/dryer. The view of the harbour is the best part. Polmear is perfectly situated close to shops,bars and restaurants, bus station and train station and only 5mins from all the beautiful beaches.
I cant reccommed Aspects holidays and Polmear enough its well worth the money and is our favourite place to stay.
Mr Holling
Another excellent stay at Polmear,I have stayed in this accomodation several times in the past and it has always met my expectations.
Mr Holling
As I am a regular visitor to Polmear my reviews in the past are still very much valid,so much so,I'm looking forward to visiting again next year.l would like to give a vote of thanks to the Aspects team and the owners of Polmear who worked together,to solve a problem that arose prior to my latest visit thank you all once again.
Mr Holling
There's nothing I can really add to what I and other reviewers have said about this excellent accomodation in past reviews. Polmear is absolutely ideal for solo or couple occupancy,although in a moderately elevated position,Polmear is best approached from Treganna hill rather than Skidden hill which is quiet steep.I shall hopefully be visiting Polmear in the future.Finally a word about Aspects,this company is by far the best I have ever dealt with.Well done to all involved.
Miss O'Shea
Lovely spacious apartment. Great location, right near the beach and the car park.
Would definitely stay again, has everything you need. Check in process via a lock box is straight forward.
Lovely place to stay
Ms Gebler
Very good value for money. Lovely view from the living room. Would be happy to come again.
Miss Lellow
Lovely accommodation, very easy to access when parking at the train station and very close to Porthminster. Thank you for the goodies that were left for us!
Mrs Foster
Lovely flat, in a great location. The view is amazing! Everything you need for a great holiday. We have already decided to come back next year!
Mr Holling
Polmear came up to expectations once again,it's a nice place to stay for the solo or couple holidaymaker,close to bus and rail stations and shops, exceptionally clean and tidy and with a grand view of the harbour now the scaffolding on the property opposite has been taken down.Polmear represents In my opinion,good value for money for a week or a fortnight's holiday in St Ives.
Dr Green
Polmear is a comfortable, cosy and surprisingly spacious apartment with a pretty view of the harbour from the lounge. It is centrally located and in easy walking distance from the harbour, town and beaches plus there are no steps or really steep hills to climb. It is close to the local co-op. The only downside is the the fact the bedroom backs onto the main road. This could be a problem at night especially if motorbikes pass by, which they often did whilst I was there. However if you don’t mind traffic and people noise at night, or use ear plugs, this won’t be a problem. It is a lovely apartment and I highly recommend it. Polmear is a special place.
Ms Parkinson
Generally pleased with Aspects holiday company.
The Polmear flat we stayed in was very disappointing, not good value for money. A range of issues throughout the flat which we raised with the local office, some issues resolved, some ignored. Wouldn’t recommend this particular flat, although it was in a very good location.
Dr Green
Once inside, Polmear is a surprising spacious and homely apartment with everything you might need for a lovely stay. There is a lovely view of the harbour from the lounge and the location is great - not far from the harbour, shops and Porthminster beach. Plus there are no steps to climb to reach the apartment, just a small hill to walk up which isn’t too steep. I will definitely be rebooking. It was a fabulous find.
Mr Cornish
Comfy and clean.Good location for arrival by bus or train. Easy to walk to town 3 to 4 min. Parking can be an issue .
Mr Holling
Once again an enjoyable holiday at Polmear. I can't really add anything more to what I've said in previous reviews,just to say I'm looking forward to staying at Polmear again next year!!!
Mrs Walker
Lovely spacious apartment convenient for town, beaches and access to public transport. Good views of the harbour. Very good value for money. Only downside is the night time noise from people and vehicles going home.
Mr Holling
Having written a previous review about Polmear,I have no wish to change my opinion of the place at all,what you get is accomodation that is warm, airy,very well equipped,very conveniently located for bus and rail stations ,very clean and with a great view of the harbour.I think Polmear is ideal for the solo or couple holidaymaker. The complementary wine, biscuits, tea and coffee were very much appreciated.Overall good value for money,Well done Aspects.
Mrs Hayday
Excellent stay at Polmear, clean and comfortable with everything provided to ensure a lovely holiday.
Miss Eynon
Brilliant New Year stay at Polmear!
We have visited St Ives for many many years now to celebrate New Year and always use Aspects as we know the fantastic properties and service they provide.
Polmear exceeded our expectations and was a brilliant base for our trip. The property is located just on the edge of the town centre so great for popping in and out throughout the day if required, also a lot quieter than we expected considering its location on the main road into town.
Brilliant views of the harbour from the living room (although currently obstructed by scaffolding, but we were made aware before arriving and also offered a generous gesture of good will for this).
We were a party of 2 and the place was brilliant size, very spacious.
Would definitely revisit and recommend a stay at Polmear.
Thanks you Aspects once again for a brilliant St Ives stay.
Mr Holling
Polmear is in a good location close to shops and other amenities, had a super holiday there,the flat is well equipped and what impressed me was the cleanliness of the place,well done to all involved!!
Ms MacCallum
We had a super time at Polmear. The location is perfect and we absolutely loved the overall experience of being in St Ives.
Thank you so much!
Miss Birrell
Polmear is a really lovely place, a good size, clean and well maintained. The location is great, really convenient and easy to walk everywhere from the accommodation. The complimentary tea and coffee are nice touches. We had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it.
Mr Shelly
A convenient flat for its proximity to shops and the harbour.
Excellent view from the sitting-room.
Mrs Heaver
We loved our stay in St Ives and will definitely use Aspects again. The staff were so friendly and efficient, they really went out of their way to help, nothing was too much trouble.
Ms Akers
Excellent location, very close to town and could walk to centre and harbour in a few minutes. Great view from the sitting room window - I love to paint and really enjoyed the view of Smeaton's pier and the harbour. Comfy bed, slept well (but bedroom on a noisy road and you need to get used to it).
Went in February (in a cold spell), which was quiet and tourist free. Unfortunately, we found the flat too cold for our comfort. We would probably use Polmear again, but in the Summer months.
Mr Moffatt
We had a great stay in Polmear over the Christmas week. A comfortable and warm flat, very well equipped and in a great position - with a lot of room to spread out and really relax. The view over the harbour is fab and we enjoyed being back in St Ives again. Polmear is a good base for the town and a nice place to be when it did get a bit wet and cold outside. Recommended.
Mr Henn
We had a wonderful, warm, comfortable stay in Palmer with a great view of the harbour. Can’t wait to go again!
Mrs Middlemiss
We love St Ives and we love Polmear. The location is amazing and there is so much space!
The welcome gifts are a really lovely touch.
Aspects have always been a pleasure to deal with.
Miss Chapman
We had a lovely stay at Polmear at the end of June. It's in the perfect location near to a bus stop, train station, Co-Op and the beach! The living room has a stunning view and the rest of the flat was well equipped with lots of cooking equipment and was decorated to feel homely. Only thing to let it down was how noisy the road can be next to the bedroom as it's on the ground floor and there's no double glazing! Would still stay here again!
Mr Carpenter
Very good company to deal with
Mr Phelps
Polmear us a great place for a break, large for two people. Great view from living room window. Well equips kitchen.
Miss Parkes
Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 5 nights it was gorgeous and really comfy. Well worth the money .
