Avis Cornish Farm House, with stunning gardens, and parking for 3 cars

Perfect stay

Wir hatten eine perfekte Woche in St. Ives! Das Haus ist ein Traum! Es ist wirklich so wunderschön, wie man es schon auf den Bildern erahnt und wir sind absolut begeistert. Wir können die Unterkunft wirklich absolut empfehlen. Die Besitzer sind super nett und haben uns ganz tolle Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants gegeben.

What a wonderful stay we had here. The house has everything you could need , the garden is relaxing , sunny & perfect for evening drinks & a BBQ. The house itself is fantastic , lots of nooks to escape to if your a large group , beds are really comfy & the kitchen is really well equipped. Plenty of room for all 8 of us ( 6 adults & 2 kids ). 5 mins drive to St Ives , lots of different beaches to choose from ,some as close as 5 mins drive , but all within 20 mins drives & all amazing. June & Dave are fantastic hosts. We will most definitely be back again

Farmhouse is in a beautiful location. Its full of character and charm has loads of space and the owners have thought of everything with regards making stay comfortable with games ping pong etc. Excellently equipped with all needs in kitchen etc. The only thing I would suggest is stating in the description that there is a penthouse apartment in the loft with private side access. It has a terrace which overlooks the garden. It didnt affect our stay or anything but might be an idea to state this as the penthouse description does state that it is located in the loft of the farmhouse and that there may be noise from garden below. But the farmhouse description doesnt disclose that theres a penthouse in loft. Just a suggestion. As I said we had a great week.

We had a great week enjoying the large kitchen and sitting room. Younger members of the group loved the trampoline. The BBQ was a great touch. Only issue was with a small leak in the kitchen and upstairs shower room when we experienced torrential rain which didn’t detract from the whole experience.

Sea views from the beautiful house and typical Cornish garden full of lush flowers. The house was spacious comfortable and full of character as described online. We had a wonderful family holiday with our children and grandchildren breakfast in the garden days at the beach drinks and sunsets back in the garden. Thanks to June and Dave who were very welcoming and helpful on our arrival.

A wonderful family holiday Beautiful comfortable home with lovely views in a beautiful town We had Incredible fun , managed to swim in the sea mist days , enjoyed the Tate , are in great restaurants We are sorry to be leaving

This is definitely one of the top rentals we have experienced. The house and its contents were spotlessly clean and the house was so well equipped, including things like a baby carrier (which came in very handy on long beach walks), a knife sharpener, fruit salad bowls... you name it. Nothing was missing. The cottage has a cosy feel when the weather is inclement outside with a lovely log burner in the sitting room, but is wonderful and light on sunny days with several cosy nooks for reading such as the front conservatory or the back kitchen conservatory overlooking the garden. Sadly, due to the chilly winds, we didn't get much use out of the garden, but on a sunny day it would be perfect spot for a bbq, game of table tennis or sunbathing: secluded and well kept with sea views. Overall I would recommend this house to anyone and would definitely stay again.

The property was attractively presented and comfortable, the location was quiet and scenic. While the owners apparently live nearby they did not introduce themselves. After our stay we were very surprised when they communicated that they were retaining half of the deposit on two counts - a stain on a single mattress (not sheet) and water being in the vacuum cleaner that was giving off smell and noise. Neither of these issues - if they existed at all - related to us. The owners said that they had ‘noticed’ a sheet being dried during our stay, and that is true. My daughter’s monthly cycle started unexpectedly and that we dealt with. She was in a double room and that was the sheet they ‘noticed’ being dried. They raised no issue with that sheet, mattress cover or mattress - quite rightly - because there was none. Not all the single beds were even slept in and we left no stain on sheet or mattress in any of them. The vacuum cleaner worked fine when we used it and there was no unusual noise, smell or water issues. A later email said that the wood stove front glass was cracked and that this was our fault. The glass was cracked as we noticed when first using it, this did not affect its function and so was not a problem that needed raising by us. We left a very positive written review in the visitor book and separately communicated some areas where improvement could be made directly to them. This was done in good faith to support the unseen owners business. The owners did not engage with our rebuttals and decided to retain the nice round deposit number anyway. In doing so they have lost our respect. We left the property in good order, taking time to clean and tidy the place, even though a fee for cleaning was part of the rent. I do not know how to account for the attitude and action of the owners, it has rather ruined the holiday experience being disagreeable, disappointing and a bit creepy.
