Guest Comments

"Wanted to let you know we had a fantastic stay at “The Lookout” in St Ives.  We could see from the website the apartment was going to be of high quality and special and it certainly was!  I was very popular with my husband and daughter for finding and booking it.  We all loved the apartment and would definitely recommend it and stay there again ourselves – it is beautiful and the view, of course, was stunning!  We really felt that we were having a “special” holiday, so Thank You!!  We hope to be back soon!"

"We had a fabulous holiday  - The Lookout was everything and more that we hoped for. Definitely Portminster Cafe ( restaurant)   fab food, brilliant staff and lovely atmosphere ( with or without children) -  highly recommend and def ranks in the top 10. Portminster Beach take way cafe -   lovely for a sandwich or  fish and chips while relaxing - wrapped up in towel. Tried lots of others apartements in St Ives – but this def the best. "

"We were very happy with the apartment in general - it felt lovely and luxurious and the staff were very efficient . We ate at the Porthminster Cafe and the Loft restaurants - both excellent evenings. We also did a lot of walking and we would recommend the St Ives - Zennor coastal walk, stunning, especially when it's finished off with a pint at the Tinners Arms in Zennor. We also enjoyed the Pendeen Watch/Botallack/Chun Quoit walk and would definitely recommend the hours drive north to visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan."

We had a great stay at the Lookout - we thought it was excellent accommodation and we plan to return later in the year. The restaurants we tried were New World and also the Loft, where the food was exceptional.

The Lookout was fully equipped to a very high standard (love to know where they got the cutlery from), very clean, bright and spacious.  A good location. Really enjoyed ourselves - good eateries.
