Excellent flat with stunning views, was great to watch the beach and sunsets on the snuggle seat or balcony. The size of the flat was great, and much larger than we were expecting. Loved the large bathroom and shower room, and thought the flooring was a nice quirky touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Mrs Rosser Jun 2024
Was blown away with the amazing seaviews from the picture window in the lounge and on the balcony and enjoyed the sunsets from there. I loved the size of the flat, the amenities and the swivel seat for the views. The shower room was fab!!
Mrs Hall Jun 2024
11 St Nicholas Court is a spacious and very comfortable apartment with fantastic views over The Island and Porthmeor Beach. The sunsets were spectacular. Beds and settees very comfortable. All the kitchen utensils you need. We loved our stay. Our 4th stay in St Nicholas Court albeit in different apartments and always a great holiday.
Mrs Ruddock May 2024
We love everything about this apartment and hope to be staying again in 2025.
Mr Hailstone Apr 2024
The view is great and you can sit and watch the waves all day. However the flat does feel a little old fashioned and would benefit from the owners spending a few days living as a guest as this would allow them to check the kitchen had everything required. The uneven pebble floor in the bathroom is odd.

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed 11 St Nicholas Court so much and with the huge benefit of parking, not to mention the views. We aim to offer a wide range of properties that we hope will meet the different budgets, differing requirements and individual tastes. Whilst this property is not marketed as one of our higher end/modern properties, the owners usually keep it very well maintained. We have discussed your comments with the owner's housekeeper and will pass on your feedback to the owner as well so that they can consider any suggestions for future improvements. Thank you again for your feedback. Phoebe, Customer Services
Lovely clean & comfortable apartment with fantastic view, which helps if the weather is bad. Well equipped & a good size fridge freezer. Not sure the bed is a king size though but it was nice & comfy anyway??. Parking spaces are a bit tight but still a great bonus in St Ives. Would definitely recommend

It's great to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at 11 St Nicholas Court; those views are really something, aren't they?! We can confirm that the bed in bedroom 1 is a king, with king-sized linen, perfect for sinking into after a long day exploring, so we hope this is what you were expecting. We know just how highly sought after parking spaces are in St Ives, so we try to advertise the measurements for the space as clearly as possible in the property description. While some larger cars may find this a tight fit, we are pleased that you still agree it is an added bonus for the property! Katy, Customer Services.
Amazing apartment with great view - lovely to hear the waves and be so close to the beach. Would be back for sure.
Mrs Butler Feb 2024
Spacious lounge with amazing views over Porthmeor Beach and the island. Well equipped kitchen with super fridge freezer and dishwasher.
Mr Bealey Dec 2023
Spacious, airy, warm (for winter) and spotlessly clean flat, will so miss the amazing views. We stayed in November and everywhere was so quiet, in-fact the quietest in the 40 years we’ve been coming to St Ives. Very well equipped and comfortable flat, really didn’t want to leave and go home and felt totally relaxed.Amazing service from Aspect Holidays with a little maintenance issue which was fixed within a couple of hours of reporting it. Hope to stay again.
Mrs Hull Nov 2023
Fantastic views from a spacious apartment that has everything you could need for a holiday, snuggle seat by the window is fantastic i could spend hours looking at the view if the weather is not so good.
Mr Cooper Nov 2023
A picture perfect sea view location. A vacation for perfect relaxation. It matters not what the weather is like. The best bit it has a rare and perfect underground car park for this area. Shops are walking distance away, a maze of little alleys of short cuts to explore. Try the pasty, fish & chips, fudge and ice-cream but not all at the same time lol ??. Watch out for the seagulls! Enjoy the sea view on a very comfortable revolving armchair by the picture window. There is a launderette in the building. They have almost everything else, so this is really a home away from home, except lots of toilet rolls. We will certainly recommend this place.
Mr Grigg Nov 2023
This is the third stay in this flat. The accommodation is always clean and tidy and the on-site parking is a bonus. It is minutes away from two beaches and shops and eateries. We’ve booked again for next year. If any problems just pop in and see the staff in the office, they are a friendly bunch.

NO.11 ST NICHOLAS COURT IS WELL FURNISHED AND IN AN EXCELLENT POSITION FOR SUPERB VIEWS.
Miss Williams Jun 2023
The Aspects office was very helpful when moved flats as we went from no . 11 to no 29 . I had noticed that we were missing bath mats which they had in the office . It might useful to have the office open more than just a Saturday.
Mrs Enticknap Jun 2023
We had a lovely two weeks in Flat 11 ! Lovely flat with great views. Very clean on arrival ! The internet needs an upgrade but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.
Mr Challinor Jun 2023
Perfect location for a great holiday in St. Ives. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable with an amazing view. Highly recommended.
Mr Hailstone May 2023
Lovely and spacious, very comfortable, fabulous views. It’s very peaceful and quiet , apart from the lovely sound of the sea.
