We spent a week with 4 adults at Pendeen. The apartment was equipped with everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. The 2 bathrooms were great. The large kitchen and living area was also spacious and perfect for us. The location just above the city was wonderfully quiet, yet you were in a few minutes in the shopping mile, on the beach or in nature.The apartment is a bit older, (especially the bathrooms) but comfortably furnished.

Lovely apartment, nice and spacious. Photos were a true reflection of the property.
Mrs Wright Feb 2024
Bright and airy apartment with fabulous views. Very comfortable. Good location but there are a lot of stairs.
Mrs Douglas Oct 2023
Lovely apartment, brilliant views, clean and spacious. The location really central at the top of the hill, you definitely get fitter as the week goes on.
Miss Gledhill Jul 2023
Absolutely loved this place! Beautiful property in a beautiful location. Well equipped and super comfortable. The hills and stairs not a bother at all, good indulge/ exercise balance. Would stay here again like a shot!
mrs Smith Jul 2023
Absolutely loved our stay at Pendeen. The location was perfect, the 50 stairs up to the front door made eating daily ice creams and pasties acceptable! Very spacious apartment, was well equipped. Loved watching the beautiful sunsets from the Juliette balcony. We will definitely return!
Mrs Hall Jun 2023
great spacious apartment in a super location with views across the Porthmeor side from the lounge area.Fully equipped with what’s needed for your stay. Quite a few stairs (about 50 out & inside in total) though needed to be high up, just in case stairs are a problem for you but worth the stairs if not a problem.. Booking and service from Aspects always spot on and great!! Recommend them always. Thanks again !!

We enjoyed a 9night break in St Ives in Pendeen in mid-November. The apartment was nice and we definitely enjoyed our stay, however there were a few issues in terms of cleanliness and heating. We left feeling that whilst we enjoyed the time away, we wouldn't be staying in this apartment again, as whilst the views are fabulous and it is generally comfy, it is suffering from excessive wear and tear and so is a bit shabby around the edges, and could do with some homely touches as well as a refresh in its appliances. Like other reviews, the steps to get to the apartment are many, but we were fine with this. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance to the centre of St Ives, and it comes with a very valuable parking space. I think if we had been staying there in the main summer season we would have been disappointed as it would have been a lot of money, but as such we did enjoy our stay in mid-November as it wasn't too pricey, but we won't be staying here again.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback following your stay at Pendeen. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, made the most of the convenient parking space, and that the steps leading up to the apartment were not an issue for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the general condition of the property after a very busy season. Some wear and tear is to be expected, so guests' comments are really helpful, and please be assured that the property will undergo an inspection to ensure all areas are up to standard and refreshed where needed. We hope we can welcome you back to another property in the area which is perhaps more suited to your needs. Katy, Customer Services.
Pendeen is a beautifully presented apartment with everything needed for a great holiday. We have stayed here several times, and have always found the apartment to be clean and well-furnished.
The location is great, just being a very short walk from the centre of St Ives. This is a quiet top floor apartment with stairs only, so will not suit people with any mobility issues, but if that is not an issue, I would thoroughly recommend Pendeen as a beautiful, excellent base for your holiday.
Mrs Wares Aug 2022
This was our second time staying at Pendeen. It is a lovely apartment in an excellent location, with the added bonus of a parking space. I just wish that there were less stairs!
Mr Wilkinson Aug 2022
Clean and spacious apartment with some good views over Porthmeor, (a little spoilt by the car park), but not suitable for people with small children or elderly as it’s at the top of over 40 steps…terrible for getting luggage and shopping up and down. Comfortable but compromised.

We are sorry to hear that this property was not quite what you expected. We always aim to be completely open and honest with property descriptions and photos, as we would always want guests to have a good idea of what they are booking. With that in mind, we try to show the car park within several photos and whilst we do not list the exact number of steps, we state on the website that this is a penthouse apartment with an external flight of steps to the communal entrance and two further flights of internal stairs. This may not suit everyone, but for those who don't mind the stairs, we hope that you agree that this great quality apartment, in an optimum location, with those beautiful views, are totally worth the effort. We hope that you still enjoyed it here and if you are ever looking to return to St Ives, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the team so that we can help in suggesting the most suitable properties for your next visit. Tanya, Customer Services
The apartment was airy, clean and bright and we enjoyed our stay. Once our legs got used to the hills that is!! The parking space was very important, and overall we felt it a really good choice
Mr Talbot Oct 2021
The location was amazing. The view from the living room is beautiful. If you like walking then this is the right apartment for you, as there are 3 flights of steps between the apartment and the town. We wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness at all, so that’s something they need to work on. A deep clean is needed. Plus maybe adding some cushions to the sofas for a bit of comfort.

We were so sorry to hear this. We would always expect that guests arrive to their chosen property to find that it has been cleaned to a very high standard, but if that was not the case, we would always do everything possible to put that right for you. We can only apologise if any areas had been missed and please rest assured that this was followed up with the cleaner. Thank you for your comments. Tanya, Customer Services
Beautiful apartment, gorgous views. Not very good for the elderly really high apartment so many steps to climb.
Mrs Harwood Sep 2021
Lovely apartment with amazing views and perfectly located to explore St. Ives. More spacious than pictures suggest. The surrounding hills combined with stairs to the apartment will keep you fit!
Mr Sheller Aug 2021
Fab spacious apartment in a great location - would highly recommend!
Mrs Norris Nov 2020
Pendeen was a lovely apartment, a very short walk into town, although at the top of a hill so a lot of steps back up to the apartment. This suited us just fine but might be an struggle if you had mobility issues. There were just 2 of us staying but the apartment sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms and having 2 bathrooms would definitely be great for a family too. All of the furnishings and utensils etc were great quality and made for a relaxing break away from home in comfortable surroundings. Would definitely recommend both the apartment and Aspects Holidays as the booking process and communication throughout couldnt be faulted.
Mrs Crawford Oct 2020
Lovely apartment, great quiet location with minutes walk down to the beach in one direction and the centre of town the other. There are lots of steps to the apartment and a hill to climb, but great if you like keeping fit. Would definitely recommend. To note the Juliet balcony in the lounge over looks the car parks with side view of the beach. This isn’t an issue though as get lovely evening sun and can still sit watching the sun go down.
Mrs Chambers Jul 2020
A beautiful apartment in an amazing location. Central for the beach, either end of the town or for leaving St Ives. So long as steps and hills are not a problem for anyone then it is the perfect spot.
Mrs Tattersall Oct 2019
Had a great stay in a very spacious and laid out apartment. Even bigger than photos appear. Good quality furnishings and some excellent views despite the extension to the Tate building. Would definitely recommend. Stayed October 5th to 12th 2019.Dale and Jane Johnson. Lincolnshire
Mr Johnson Oct 2019
Great location for ease of use of Portmeor beach & coastal walks plus popping through pretty lanes to the main restaurant/shopping area. Watching fabulous sunsets is a real bonus There was four of us, the desription said it would still be comfortable & have a feeling of space & it did, once you get used to the extra steps upto the apartment! It's a real shame the Tate decided to build the storage unit , restricting views, however, this doesn't detract from the apartments internal qualities& the description details rightly explain this. It's a great value for money & has a very welcome private parking space.
Mrs Hall Jul 2019
Pendeen was a fantastic apartment. It was extremely well equipped, clean and very centrally located. We would thoroughly recommend it.
Mr Cooper Jul 2019
Great location as right in the centre of St Ives. Good for the family and very clean which is good as we had a 2 year old. Prepare to work your calves though as it is up a lot of steps and St Ives is a very hilly town, so we were knackered once arriving at the flat. Also there was some damage which had been left by a previous occupant that hadn't been repaired which was disappointing. On the whole though a very good apartment and I would recommend to my friends.

There are certainly a few hills here in St Ives! They can be hard work, but they do provide some lovely views from the properties that benefit from being perched on them, such as Pendeen; we hope that you agree that it was worth it. We were so sorry that there had been some damage to the outside of the integrated fridge door. Whilst it still works, we appreciate that it didn't look the most presentable, and so the owner is replacing this around New Year. Thanks for getting in touch and we hope that we will see you back here in St Ives again soon. Tanya, Customer Services
The flat was clean and very well equipped. It has lovely views and lots of details to make our stay comfortable. All bedding was premium quality and it was well taken care of and comfortable.
Mrs Delelis Jun 2019
Fantastic modern apartment in a great location. Furnished to a high standard.
Mr Donnelly Sep 2018
Very helpful friendly staff. Very well located for all parts of St Ives. Very comfortable and great space. Easy to access and park. Sadly views to Porthmeor beach have been compromised by the new Tate delivery building from the main living space. We will be back with Aspects x
