The cottage is perfectly located and everything you need for a break in town. The inclusion of free parking is a real selling point. The kitchen is well equipped and the heating keeps the cottage cosy. The welcome pack was great with the free, stamped, postcards a lovely touch. Lovely quality bedding and there were even enough dishwasher tablets for the whole week! The bathroom may be a little small for some people, but it is functional and there's plenty of hot water for showers. Overall a great second stay and remains on our list for another visit.

Our second visit to Idlehour this year because we loved it so much the first time! Perfect location for beaches, harbour and shops. Having the parking space so close to the property is an absolute winner! A very well equipped, cosy cottage with beautiful decor too. Definitely will book to stay here again.

Great place to stay, already booked again it’s got everything you need for a stay in St Ives

very comfortable little cottage, one or two little things to be aware of like the very small but adequate bathroom. no washer/dry, something to consider if packing light or have children. Saying that, all was wonderful, having parking so very close is always a bonus shame about the parking charge next year. would go back any time.

This is our 2nd stay in Idlehour. It has been re-decorated since our last stay & it did not disappoint. Love the convenient location & the added bonus of a good size & easily accessible parking space. It’s great value for money. The shed / hose outside is great to hose off beach gear / sandy feet without having to trundle everything inside & a convenient storage space. The property is well kept, clean & well equipped. Would recommend to anyone wishing to stay Porthmeor side of town & still have easy access into town.

Great location and a comfortable stay for a family of four.

A lovely property that made me feel at home from arrival & throughout my stay. A great location for the many wonders of St Ives yet such a restful & private feel to this great property. Private parking is such an advantage & another plus point for Idlehour. Happy Holidays sums it up.

Fabulous property in a great location with parking nearby an absolute winner. Decor, furnishings and equipment makes it a real home from home. Would definitely stay here again.

Staying here again and new fire installed easier to use. Great property everything you need for a holiday in St Ives. Already booked to stay for a 4th visit.

We loved our week staying at Idlehour it was ideal for the two of us. There was a lovely welcome pack and the property was very comfortable and cosy. Everything at our disposal was of good quality, the location is great and of course the parking space is very much appreciated and not too far away. Like others we have also booked to return.

Beautiful cottage everything as advertised. Stayed twice and will be back again in March 2024

This is a delightful cottage well worth visiting as it’s in the heart of St Ives. We had a brilliant week here as a family of four. The cottage was exceptionally clean on arrival and the welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco was very much appreciated! The view out of the bedroom window of the harbour is idyllic and we can’t wait to go back.

A very clean, stylish cottage in a fantastic location. We would highly recommend! The addition of a parking space was amazing. We’ve stayed in St Ives before, without a parking space, and know that once you’ve found a space, you cannot move your car otherwise you won’t get back in! The parking space is therefore invaluable, and meant that we could visit other places during our two week stay.

We went to Idlehour a cottage in st Ives in late July through Asoect Holidays. It was perfect in every way. The parking was close to the cottage. The views from upstairs across the harbour were breathtaking. The facilities in the cottage were great. It was a dream cottage in a lovely place. Thank you Aspect Holidays.

Easy to find, felt very welcoming when you enter the property. Loved the welcoming basket which had all of the essentials including a bottle of Prosecco. The view from the master bedroom is stunning and it made our holiday to wake up to each morning. The customer service was outstanding and refreshing. Will definitely use Aspects Holidays again

Property is in prime location for The Harbour and Porthgwidden beach. 1 parking permit included in price of booking which is great and the parking is around the corner. Decorated to a high spec with modern design, comfy sofa and working gas fire for the cold nights. Views from bathroom and main bedroom of harbour are beautiful.

The property did have its faults though and as a family we won’t be returning 2 adults and 2 children (14&10 years) The double bed is very small and up against the wall making getting in and out extremely difficult as you have to climb over your partner to get out and because of this there is no bedside table on that side, there is one tall boy in the main room but not sufficient enough for two adults clothing. A few night one of us slept on the sofa as we kept waking each other up.

No washing machine but a maiden

The house is on a slant due to its age and runs downhill from front to back, this isn’t an issue for me but my child has sensory issues and the unsteadiness made her feel ill and dizzy, therefore if you have a disabled child with similar issues, take note.

For a family of 3 this property would be ideal with one person in the double bed and two in the twin.

Idlehour is a compact cottage in a superb location minutes from the harbour and Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches. The view of the harbour from the main bedroom is stunning. The close proximity of the parking space is a big bonus given the limited availability of parking in Downalong.

This is a brilliantly located property within seconds of the wharf and minutes from two beaches. The parking spot is close and allows easy parking withing a couple of minutes. The views from the main bedroom are wonderful. The house is small and best suited to a couple or a family with smaller children. The bathroom is small, but functional and wholly made up for by the position and convenience of the cottage. The heating is a gas fire and electric wall heaters upstairs. This did concern me before we went, but it was perfect and the gas stove gave the place a lovely cosy warmth, very quickly. We had a fantastic Easter stay and have booked again for 2024.

Great cottage, position very good with a dedicated parking space close by. Everything you would want for a stay in St Ives. Perfect for relaxing and having a cuppa in bed looking over the harbour. Alterations on-going in the cottage next door, but it did not give us any problems at all. Already booked for later in the year.
