    “We had a very pleasant stay in St Ives.”

    Tresco bungalow is furnished brilliantly, with very modern fittings and utilities that made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

    Tresco bungalow is furnished brilliantly, with very modern fittings and utilities that made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The location is perfect for short walks into town and directly to the beautiful beach below. We were very unfortunate with weather, so could only use the hot tub once, but it was set up nicely to be able to look out at the lovely view whilst relaxing. St Ives has some wonderful old architecture, beautiful walks in the town and challenging hills to explore, as well as some lovely pubs, an incredible old church and great restaurants. The Harbour Fish and Chips were some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! We took the train to Penzance as well, which was an experience, but the town isn’t any where near as lovely as St Ives, so we were glad to be staying there. Some things to note… getting to the property was a slight challenge, you need to be prepared to drive down an incredibly steep hill which looks like a footpath. Myself and my wife both decided sat nav must be wrong and diverted to a different route through town, which turned out to be a wrong move and got us a little lost down the tiny roads we shouldn’t have been on. When investigating the steep hill path by foot we realised this was in fact the way, and managed to get the car down the hill. It wasn’t a problem in the end, but some advanced warning that you’ll need a car that can handle the climb back up the hill too and some reasonably good driving skills to navigate this. Another thing of note and only minor grievance would be that the pool man came before 8am on the morning we were leaving, which we felt was a little intrusive as we had until 10am to leave. In the second bedroom, the two single beds pushed together could do with a mattress topper to make sure you can’t feel the divide. Otherwise the bungalow was excellent, well equipped, clean, modern and great location for the duration of our holiday.
