There were difficulties

We arrived and found the door keys had not been left in the key safe. The owner acted quickly and got the cleaner to bring keys. We waited around an hour-getting dark and temperature dropping so not a comfortable wait.The boiler packed up Friday morning and no one came to repair it. So no hot water or central heating from Friday morning until Saturday morning when we left at 10.00a.m. We saw rats in the back area. The window at one end in the ktchen meant we could see rats running across the wall ledge around 5ft from the window 6 days of the 7 we stayed there, it was clearly a rat run. we saw 6/7 rats every day. I would have expected some compensation.

Sweet Cornish Cottage

Perfectly located cottage close to the harbour in St Ives. Restaurants, galleries, shops and beaches all an easy walk away. The cottage was clean and comfortable although perhaps a little chilly in January. It is also not designed for large people as the shower is tiny and the ceilings are low in places. A useful addition would be reading lamps in the main bedroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay in beautiful St Ives

We really enjoyed our stay at Betty's Cottage. We did have some challenges getting the code for the key box which was more Expedia's app vs the hosts. The place is really comfortable and cosy with everything you would need. Only thing we had to get was loo roll as they didn't have any after we used the half a roll that was there.

Betty’s cottage

The cottage has all the facilities you need it was beautiful. The location is fantastic, a stroll from the centre where your spoilt for choice to eat/drink looking over the harbour…if it’s a beach you want then Porthgwidden and Porthminster are both short walks and perfect for everyone, my 3 year old grandson had the best time.
