Dunlin is a high quality property in a beautiful location. The house is very well equipped, spotlessly clean, stylish and comfortable. We enjoyed a relaxing holiday during November and even paddled at nearby Porthminster beach on several occasions. Sitting at the dining table or on the settee, or in the bedroom there are amazing views over St Ives Harbour. Walking down into St Ives there are steep and much less steep routes to choose: not a problem for two people in their sixties. We really appreciated the lovely welcome pack. The parking space is generous. We would have no hesitation in staying at Dunlin again.

Our stay at Dunlin was perfect in every way possible. It was very difficult to tear ourselves away from that wonderful view every day. Just wow!
The property in itself is beautiful. Spotlessly clean, so modern, and the beds are an absolute dream. On the main road into St Ives, but we heard minimal noise from the road due to the triple glazing installed.
We found it extremely difficult to leave and will return in a heartbeat.
