"Longships was a delight, airy, comfortable, well equipped and very clean. Walks - Carbis Bay to St Ives, done regularly and shouldn't be missed, St Michaels Mount and Trebah Gardens were very enjoyable in the rain, (seriously, few visitors thus little jostling), Godrevy Point was wonderful, a lovely high walk with good views of the seals and a pup on the beach. Food - Porthminster Cafe,wonderful food and good service. Ocean Grill in St Ives very good food. La Casita, ate there twice, in both cases well looked after with very nice food. "
I. Latham"Longships is in an excellent location, which was quiet and secluded, accommodation was of a very high standard and all linen provided was clean and fresh. The local walks (coastal path) to Lelant, St Ives/Porthminster were the outstanding feature of our stay, the views and scenery were first class and thoroughly recommended. St Ives offered excellent food and drink, we particularly enjoyed the Fire House (Pub food and drink) and the Harbour Fish & Chip Restaurant. "
J. Cross"From the moment we booked to the time we left Longships. we found every one concerned was very efficent and professional. The apartment itself was superb, clean, very well equiped, had wonderful views and was very well positioned to get to St Ives and other tourist spots. We used the local train to get to St Ives which was a short walk away ( and when I say short it took us 4 minutes to walk) and it only cost £1 each way and only took 3 minutes. The local beach at carbis bay is lovely but the walk is very steep(hard work to get back up) but really worth it. Try and take afternoon tea at The carbis bay hotel touch expensive (£15 for 2) but the best one we had in Cornwall. Take the coast road out of St Ives to Lands End the views are spectacular. The only problem we encountered was on the day we were due home.......We had to leave!!!! "
