Lovely view of the sea from the bedroom and the lounge which is the reason I booked the apartment. It's well situated with easy walking distance to the town, Tate Gallery and the train station. I will definitely be booking again and recommend to my friends. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, it is great to hear you had such a lovely time in St Ives and enjoyed our lovely sea views! Property Owner

"A lovely, comfortable apartment with a wonderful sea view."

Check in was very straight forward and the convenience of the parking space was great. The passes to use the Harbour Hotel's Spa were appreciated on a rainy afternoon! A convenient location for the beach, restaurants, shops and galleries. A super holiday!

"A lovely property, which we would recommend."

There were some little housekeeping niggles - in the kitchen there was a virtually empty bottle of washing up liquid and a hand soap with a broken dispenser. We also noticed that the extractor fan in the bathroom of the double bedroom didn't seem to work - and the light bulb over the bath went on and off periodically.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had a few niggle during your stay. We have passed these on to the housekeeping team. If you have any issues like this during your stay please contact the local office on 01736 630015 option 2, and one of the local team will be able to assist you straight away.

"Very nice apartment within easy reach of the town centre, which was about 10 minutes walk (quite hilly) and great facilities throughout."

View across the bay is really nice, with the outside space being reasonably private as well. Would definitely stay here again. Only downside was the parking we had some issues due to either being blocked in or blocked out of space - sorted quickly all but one time.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the area! we are sorry to hear that you had a few issues with parking but glad things were sorted quickly.

"Waters Edge feedback."

Toilets were dirty. Welcome pack very strange, milk, chocolate buttons, apple juice, few coffee and tea bags. Balcony furniture past it’s sell by date, mentioned this last time we stayed. Sand under rugs in living room. Parking space constantly blocked.

Thank you for your feedback, we will address the toilets and the sand under the rug in the living room with the housekeeping team. We will speak to St Ives Harbour Hotel to ask them not to block any of the cars in undercover parking space. The welcome pack includes a Jute Bag, choclate buttons, apple juice, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and a starter milk. Since the sad closing of Ferrells bakery we have not been able to offer the freshly made scones and have had to switch across to biscuits instead so we are sorry for any disappointment caused. We will also attend and take photos of the balcony furniture to send to the owner so they can act and order replacements where necessary. If you do have any concerns or queries during your stay, please do feel free to call us on 01736 630015 (option 2) as we are very happy to help.

"Our only comment is that the garden furniture on the external terrace was very uncomfortable to say the least."

Comfortable reclining chairs would be worth adding. The bench seat with thin cushions is well past it’s best. Given the outstanding views and good weather we spent a lot of time on the terrace. Otherwise great holiday accommodation and will visit again. Ivon & Angie Blumer.

"Lovey apartment with an array of facilities."

Beautiful views from the balcony and private. Great location , central. Perfect distance to the beach. The only troublesome part was the car parking and although we had an allocated space people kept parking inappropriately in front of it and we had to continue to ask the hotel for help. The hotel staff were great but it did sometimes make you not want to “dare” to move the car and go out! Other than that it was a really wonderful place to stay and I’m sure we will be back!! It was a pleasure to stay in the apartment and we enjoyed our time there in such a gorgeous location. Thank you to all who work hard to make this apartment available for holiday makers!

""Waters Edge is lovely apartment, clean, spacious and modern."

It is well equipped, has 2 nice bathrooms with good showers over the baths. The apartment is stylish with internal decoration to a high standard and has a welcoming feel to it. Waters Edge has a good view of Porthminster Beach, but as the balcony is North facing it doesn’t get direct sunlight, only at sunrise which is great to wake up to. The balcony is looking a little tired and unloved... New patio furniture and a deck clean would make all the difference. Peninsula apartments are in an unrivalled position overlooking Porthminster Beach and are convenient for all amenities in St Ives. They also offer the great advantage of access to the Harbour Hotel Spa for the duration of your stay. I highly recommend Peninsula Apartments and will definitely return. "

""We had a brilliant holiday at Waters Edge."

The apartment had beautiful views from the large balcony. Inside was clean and well equipped. The en-suite bathroom was huge as were the rooms. The children enjoyed the Xbox and the huge range of games provided. It is very close to a beautiful beach; it was nice to wake to the sound of the waves. We would definitely consider coming back in the future."

Set in an enviable position overlooking Porthminster Beach, at Peninsula Apartments, in St Ives, this two-bedroom, first floor, holiday home, enjoys un-interrupted panoramic sea views from most rooms and seaward facing balcony, the town centre shops, pretty harbour, beaches and St Ives scenic railway are all just a short walk away.

Sleeping four, plus an infant, its an ideal romantic retreat for a couple or a family holiday to St Ives.

As soon as you enter the apartment you can see by the solid walnut flooring and intercom Entryphone, quality runs throughout. The aptly named Waters Edge could not be any closer to the sea or stunning beach below, large floor to ceiling windows and double sliding doors, which lead out to a seaward facing balcony, frame this picture post card scene and allow sea views to flow throughout the open plan living area, so whether you are cooking, dining, or relaxing you can enjoy this wonderful Cornish vista, cosy up in either the three seater sofa or matching armchair and enjoy the entertainment package on the 42″ television including Sky original or gaming on the XBox 360, or slide open the balcony doors, breathe in the sea air, pour a glass of wine and step out onto the large private decked area with stunning views of St Ives Bay, Porthminster Beach and out to Godrevy Lighthouse.

The kitchen and dining area are within the open plan living space, perfect for entertaining and benefiting from the sea views, a stylish circular glass and chrome table with four leather dining chairs provide a fabulous setting to dine in, alternatively the balcony offers an alfresco option with an ocean backdrop, the contemporary kitchen, with white high gloss units teamed with black granite work tops and splash backs, is well-appointed with everything needed for your holiday, a utility cupboard in the hallway houses a washer/dryer. There is a choice of two comfortable bedrooms, the master king sized room benefits from a private en-suite with a bath and shower-over and floor to ceiling sliding doors with stunning sea views, which open onto the balcony, so you can enjoy breakfast watching the ocean, the second twin bedroom is conveniently located next to the family bathroom at the rear, all rooms are well presented with sumptuously dressed memory foam mattresses and offer ample storage space.

The family bathroom with bath and shower over, is next to bedroom two and offers a fantastic space to escape for a long relaxing soak after a busy beach day.

Your private balcony, accessed from the lounge and master bedroom, gives you a bird’s eye view of the glorious golden sands of Porthminster Beach, take a seat at the wooden table with four chairs and a wooden bench with cushions, and dine alfresco or enjoy pre-dinner drinks as the sun sets over the ocean, heaven.

If you prefer to dine out then St Ives is blessed with a variety of restaurants and cafes, many with sea or harbour views and offering fresh sea food landed daily on its working harbour, if you don’t want to walk far, the Michelin Plate rated restaurant, Porthminster Beach Café, is set right on the beach below, the harbour is just a short walk too which leads to pretty cobbled streets, dotted with boutique shops and art galleries, after browsing catch an exhibition at the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, to see how the town has inspired many famous artists. If you love walking then you’ll enjoy venturing towards Zenor or Hayle via the nearby South West Coast Path, full of wild flora and fauna its wonderful for spotting native and migrating birds and as it runs along the cliffs you may even spot seals or dolphins, this is a great way to reach Carbis Bay Beach, although the scenic railway does stop here too, this exhilarating journey runs beside the beaches too, the secluded bay has been awarded a blue flag for its azure waters, which lap its golden shores.

If you love gardens Cornwall will delight you, from Trebah, a sub-tropical paradise with a stunning coastal backdrop, near Falmouth, to the Lost Garden of Heligan, lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of WW1, and discovered by chance, to the tropical rainforest with its exciting canopy walkway above the trees at the Eden Project, both near St Austell, are exciting to explore and discover for a fun, green and educational day out, for a little romance a visit to the Minack Theatre near, Land’s End to see a show is hard to beat, this open-air theatre has one of the most dramatic ocean backdrops, as its set on the edge of a Cornish cliff, or the kids will love the rides at Flambards in Helston, or Camel Creek Adventure Park, near Wadebridge or feeding the animals at Paradise Park near Hayle.
