5/5 - Excellent

The area is beautiful! We walked around the port, visited 2 museums & dined in the town. The taxi service is terrific & spared us the ordeal of driving the narrow streets.

The residents of St. Ives are intelligent, friendly, accommodating, hardy, resourceful, and quite artistic. St. Ives has a rugged and wild beauty that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life.

Very friendly quaint and charming seaside village. Cottage was ideal this time of year with gas fireplace, comfortable king bed and very nice bathroom with separate amazing shower. Spent a week in St. Ives studying pottery at Leach Pottery.
