Location
29) Sixpence Cottage Availability
The location is perfect in the sense that you can walk anywhere important in St. Ives. It is very cramped between the other houses (but that is true for most parts of this old part of St. Ives), and the streets surrounding it are rather dirty. The property itself was really clean and most of it in good condition. A hinge at the fridge broke and the oven didn't work, but communication was very fast. The fridge was repaired fast, but the oven didn't work the whole time, which was probably not their fault as they waited for a new module for it. (CRH: update, oven has now been fixed)!
August 22, 2025Very cosy & comfortable. As advertised though, this is not suitable for young children because of the stairs. Would book again! 5* to Cornish Riviera Holidays too.
