Wonderful week spent in a perfectly positioned appartment. Have stayed in many properties in St Ives over 20 years, this was one of our favourites. Access to Fore Street was lovely, the sites & sounds of St Ives are something we enjoy. Relaxing, with fabulous views over the bay & harbour, the accommodation was spacious, well equipped & comfortable. Would highly recommend Mermaid's Rest ??

Another incredible stay at Mermaid’s Rest! We really didn’t want to leave… so much so that we’ve booked again. Thank you again for making us feel so at home

Beautiful apartment , stunning views and spotlessly clean , thank you a lovely break In St Ives

Another fabulous stay at Mermaid’s Rest! We were visiting for a special occasion just before Christmas and the welcome decorations and Christmas tree were a lovely surprise. Mermaid’s is a home away from home at any time of year but St Ives in the festive season is magical. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Absolutely fantastic stay at Mermaids rest 10/10 the apartment was clean, spacious and very well equipped. I stayed with my 17 year old son in the October half term and it was perfect. Loved the central location. Watched the sun rice every morning and loved sitting in the evenings with the patio doors open listening to the sounds of st ives. Yes you can hear music from the bars and smells from the restaurants but that’s exactly what you expect from such a location, this didn’t bother us at all. Will definitely be booking another trip for 2024

Fabulous bolt hole right in the very centre of the hustle and bustle of the main shopping street. Very comfortable and well appointed. WE had another lovely stay here, thank you.

Lovely apartment in an excellent location over looking St Ives harbour with exceptional views. Unfortunately let down by tired lounge furniture and live plants that attract small black flies. Finally the exhaust fan from the Thai restaurant is constantly on from approximately 10.30 am until very late everyday churning out noise and not very pleasant smells.

Perfect stay yet again! Already booked for next year's holiday! Beautiful apartment with wonderful views! Everything you need is in the apartment. All rooms are lovely! See you next year!

Have been using Aspects for years , excellent service and clear thorough explanations of the properties they advertise . Never had an issue with any property and if there was I’m sure it would be dealt with promptly .

Second visit to this wonderful sunny apartment. Very well equipped for a self catering holiday. View over the harbour is superb. Ideally situated so everything you would need is within walking distance. Would definitely book again with Aspects Holidays as their service is second to none.

Mermaid’s Rest was the perfect home from home for our 3 week stay in St Ives. Very spacious living area and everything you will need has been provided. The panoramic view is incredible and we’re already missing sitting watching the sea. We booked again for next year while we were here as we loved it so much!

Enjoyable second visit to Mermaids Rest. Beautiful, well equipped apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Although weather mixed we managed to get out & about with all that St Ives has to offer. Would have been nice to have been informed of some roofing work being carried out during our stay. My husband got a shock one morning when a man walked past window along some scaffolding erected. Despite this would not hesitate to visit again in the future.

A great bolthole, in centre of St Ives, with fantastic views over the harbour, lots of eateries and shops right on the doorstep.

The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with a full compliment of equipment in the integrated kitchen. The beds too, super cosy!!

At this time of year, the town is relatively quiet, so we enjoyed a peaceful few days. However, in the high season given the position of the property, it could potentially be quite noisy.

Would stay again -

Mermaid’s Rest has the most stunning views of the harbour and sea which take your breath away as soon as you walk into the apartment. The sunrises over the sea are spectacularly beautiful. The apartment itself is gorgeous, stylish and very comfortable. Lots of lovely detail. Hot water is on demand and the flat is nice and warm in winter with all mod cons. The flat is off the main street so no steep hills to climb - just one set of stairs once inside cyber front door. You may well hear some noise and music late at night especially at weekends but it’s not overwhelming and a small price to pay for a beautiful apartment with beautiful views. Loved my stay there.

Mermaids Rest is a gem in the middle of St Ives. It's a home as soon as you walk in the door. Even if it's raining there is so much to do. Books, games, Netflix, prime video all are there and easy to set up. Kitchen again well equipped. Comfy sofa and also sofa infront of the balcony to enjoy the view. Rooms are comfortable and the twin room is en suite. Location right in the middle of Fore Street. Restaurants and shops galore. Parking 5 mins away in Barnoon. By the Sea was fab for take away fish and chips on New Years Eve and watch the night unfold on the balcony and watch the spectacular fireworks. I even had a sing song with the cornish in The Sloop. Wonderful. Thank you all.

Mermaids Rest is a superb property - one of the best holiday properties I've ever stayed in. It is deceptively large, very well furnished and spotlessly clean. The description is very clear with regards its close location to restaurants and bars. This means you get the noise from extractor fans and cooking smells. But this hardly applied to us as we were there during 'the big freeze' of early mid December 2022 - so the balcony was rarely used and the windows stayed closed! It is something to be very aware of though if you are considering staying here in warm weather.

Have been coming to St Ives for 65 years and this is our fourth time this year, so we have stayed in lots of properties. This one is simply one of the best. Location is fantastic, and it is well equipped and furnished ,I shall be booking it again, very soon.

Very very Clean

Mermaid’s Rest is now my favourite apartment and I’ve stayed in lots of nice ones. Absolutely stunning views and a nice little balcony. Watching the sunrise every morning was a beautiful way to start the day. Could have happily sat by the balcony, looking at the changing views, all day. Tne apartment itself is very stylish, well equipped and comfortable. Loved it. You can hear the extractor fan (a low hum) of the nearby restaurant for part of the day and sometimes the low light thudding of music ( in the bedrooms) from the nearby pub til about midnight. It wasn’t a problem for me but worth being aware of. Apartment is one flight up of narrow stairs from the main st. No hills to climb! Nearest parking I think is Barnoon if you’re lucky. More expensive than some but loved it and have already rebooked.

Always book with Aspect for st. Ives very helpful staff & very easy to book .

Stayed at Mermaids Rest for a weeks holiday. My husband and I were blessed with beautiful weather. The apartment is located in the heart of the town. You don’t need a car as everything is easily accessible. We were very happy with this stylish apartment. The views over the harbour spectacular and saw some beautiful sunsets from the many windows. It is a well appointed apartment , despite eating out most days at the numerous excellent restaurants. Cellar Bistro was our favourite… just a few steps away from front door. Enjoyed so much that we have already booked for next year.

A wonderful holiday in a fabulous apartment equipped with everything you need and more ! Fantastic views and despite the busy location surprisingly quiet.

If you don’t mind very early deliveries / bin wagons disturbing your sleep , smells from restaurants unless, you keep all windows shut , it is a lovely apartment

WOW! Mermaids Rest proved to be everything we hoped for and more! The location is excellent…..but even more the views from the apartment are so stunning especially at sunrise and sunset. So wonderful to see the comings and goings on the sea especially the fishermen setting off. Yes it’s a bit noisy but there are sound proof barriers you can pull down …after all it is in the centre! The apartment itself is very comfortable and well furnished …it was very hot during our stay and the fans thoughtfully provided by the owners were much appreciated. Lovely attention to detail throughout. Highly recommend Mermaids Rest, St Ives is so beautiful couldn’t have asked for more. We shall be rebooking for sure!! Superb.

lovely apartment . Pub noise at the back.

Fabulous apartment. Well equipped everything you need and more for a self catering holiday. Spectacular views over the harbour. Would definitely book it again if staying in St Ives.

A fabulous home from home, really comfortable and a stunning place to relax and unwind whilst watching the world go by from the amazing double French doors at the front of the property. It can be a little rowdy in the evenings if the pubs have late bands and the nearby restaurant extractor fans do create some good smells, but we loved being in the thick of it and so handy for all amenities.

Its all about the view! WOW WOW WOW!!!! A superb appartment with panoramic views in a perfect location, easy access to all areas of St Ives. Spotlessly clean with beautiful decor and very comfortable and fabulous ameneties. We could not have wanted more, highly delighted with this wonderful find and we hope to return very soon. Thank you so much

We loved Mermaid’s rest It is comfortable in many ways with stunning views can’t beat them On the doorstep to amenities but being one floor up there is hardly any noise Couple things we recommend changing having stayed in a lot of higher end aspect properties is the Tv in the lounge to a large smart Tv as lots of room fir one on the cabinet and add one in the master bedroom Not everyone is out all the time it’s nice to have options The modern traveller likes to have a choice I’d add luxury linen and pillows .as was a bit starchy Think it would then be perfect Oh, and remove the stair lift on entry it takes a quarter width of the communal staircase and is a little dangerous coming down as the stair tread is not that wide .

Stunning views of the harbour and out to sea. Excellent location. Easy for shops and eateries. Roomy and comfortable living and kitchen area. Access stairs (one short flight) a bit tight, and ensuite to twin room smallish, although bathroom makes up for this. Overall we were very pleased and would definitely return. Thank you.
