Guest Reviews

  • "The house is beautifully done, with great attention to detail. Location is perfect and the garden is a real bonus!"
  • "Secret Cottage was the most unique cottage we have stayed in. Lovely touches to make us feel welcome. I had forgotten how beautiful St. Ives is and I'm sure that we will make a return visit.
    Exceeded all our expectations. Thank you ."
  • "Our stay here was lovely. The property was exquisite - very tastefully and well done, clean, cosy and just all round fantastic. The location couldn’t have been better, and the views were exquisite. The high street was at the bottom of a short flight of steps (although you wouldn’t know it) with all the main restaurants and harbour the street below that. Couldn’t have been more central if it tried! It was very roomy across all three floors with the master at the top particularly impressive. I’d thoroughly recommend this place as a really lovely way to visit St Ives. I had little reason to contact the hosts beyond sharing some information when we left but they were incredibly quick to respond and helpful. We also felt the price was very reasonable for what we received - although we weren’t peak season, it was October half term and felt that the quality of the property was excellent for what we paid. A lovely experience and we would 100% stay here again on a return to St Ives."
  • "Beautiful finishes to the accommodation with very comfortable furnishings. Fantastic central location for beaches, restaurants and shops."
  • "Absolutely gorgeous cottage, views even better than you could imagine. Perfect location, only a minute to the shops and three minutes to the beach."
  • “We absolutely loved our stay, even more than we expected!”
  • “What a fantastic spot, right in the centre of town but you don't hear any of the hustle and bustle below. We were welcomed with a very generous welcome pack.”
  • "Secret Cottage itself was immaculately decorated and an incredibly comfortable stay, we'd definitely stay again."
