This is our second stay at Rock House, would highly recommend, we stayed with our children, grandchildren & dogs, the house is close to town so everyone can do their own thing. The house is lovely & comfortable, high quality facilities. Amazing views from the house, will definitely be back

A fab house with plenty of room for a multi generation family. Lovely kitchen and dining area. Spacious bedrooms and good bath and shower facilities.

We've just returned from our 4th consecutive stay at Rock House. Why? It's simply the perfect place to stay in St.Ives for any family looking for excellent accommodation with parking close enough to the centre and the beaches. Customer service from Cherished Cottages was also superb. Thank you!

Rock House is a beautifully renovated property. It is spacious and light with great attention to detail. There is plenty of room for a large family and is only a short walk from town centre and beaches. It provided everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family.

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are delighted to see that you have already re-booked! See you next year, Tim.

Rock House is simply the best self catering holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.
The quality of Finnish is superb with classy fixtures and fittings everywhere.
The choice of bed arrangements gives huge flexibility and great thought has been used regarding what a stay in St Ives requires from additional beach showers to washer and tumble driers
Location is spot on close to everything you need.
Great stay and we will be back.

It was amazing, I would definitely go back!! House was clean and felt very homely. Short walk into the centre of town which was so convenient (note, it was hilly if your mobility isn’t great).
Beautiful view of the sunrise over the bay in the distance.
Parking is fine for medium sized cars although the neighbour is a busy body who monitors parking and bins





Tim and the Girls At Cherished Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Hi, Thank you for your review - we are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We will get the owner to have a chat with the neighbour, although I think she is only trying to look out for our guests :-) Tim

This year was our 4th consecutive stay with Cherished Cottages and our 3rd at Rock House. The title says it all, we love staying here.

Ideally located on a quiet residential street, pet friendly and with the rarity of garage parking, in our view it is the perfect place to enjoy St.Ives and the surrounding area. The accommodation, facilities, furnishings and bedding are all of a high standard and makes for a comfortable stay. It is perfect!

Thank you Cherished Cottages for all you do. We'll be back next year.

Rock house was perfect in every way. We were a family of 8, the property was a perfect size, location could not have been better and the staff I contacted with a few questions were extremely pleasant and helpful. We want to go back!

This was our 2nd stay at Rock House and quite simply, we loved it. Ideally located with parking for two cars, this spacious and comfortable property had been prepared and cleaned to the highest of standards. We would highly recommend this house to any family/group.

Many thanks to the Cherished team. We've booked again for next year already!

We are a family group of 9, grandparents, children and grandchildren aged 11yrs -20 months.
The location of Rock House was perfect for us for town and beach facilities
The house itself is beautiful, light and natural, the fittings very tasteful, with great attention to detail..
Due to Covid, our holiday was moved from May 20 to May 21 and consequently the stone steps and many internal stairs were a challenge with a lively toddler, but manageable.
We would highly recommend this property.

Rock House was everything and more we could have hoped for to spend a week over the festive new year period.
Having looked forward to a wonderful break after a hectic run up to Christmas, once again St Ives and a cherished cottages did not disappoint.
The quality of rock house from every aspect was simply stunning, and absolutely perfect for large families with dogs. We will be sure to stay at this property again, and cannot thank Cherished enough for how well they look after us from the point of booking and right throughout our stay. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a great stay at Rock House, thank you. Only niggle was the noise and dust from 2 doors down, where the house is being completely gutted.....I’m sure it will be fab when finished!!



Tim and the Girls At Cherished Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review. We are so glad that you had a great stay at the wonderful Rock House. It is a shame that there are works on the house a couple of doors along, however, the builders assure us that the works will completed by May 2020! And, as you say, we are sure it will be lovely too! We look forward to welcoming you again in the future and don't forget as a returning Cherished guest you would get 10% off at the Rock House. Best wishes Tim!

Amazing stay in a beautiful house

Myself and my family have just returned from a fab week spent at Rock House in St Ives. A beautifully appointed house with all the mod cons. Very impressive views from the living room and master bedrooms. A 5 minute walk down hill into the centre of town. A huge bonus to have parking for two cars as well! I am so glad I found this property! We seriously did not want to leave. We hope to return next year!

Hi, thank you for your lovely review of the Rock House. We are very sad to see you have left a 3/5 for cleanliness - we have spoken to the housekeepers and they can only apologise , and say they would have returned to re-clean and rectify any problems if you had let us know at the time - once again we can only apologise and hope this has not put you off either the Rock House or Cherished Cottages. Tim & The Team!

We have just returned from a lovely week's stay in Rock House situated in the beautiful St Ives. The property was very well appointed and suited our party of 8 very well. Lots of bathrooms and parking for two cars which is a real bonus in St Ives. I would definitely recommend the property and felt very impressed with Cherished Cottages. All our interactions with them were first rate - we were dealt with quickly and effectively and also in a friendly manner. St Ives is such a lovely place to stay - three amazing beaches, lots of places to eat and quaint lanes to wander round as well as museums and lots of independent shops. We would love to return. Thank you!

We had a truly wonderful week at The Rock house.
Excellent facilities, beautifully presented and in a perfect location.
I will reccomend using Cherished cottages to my friends and family.

I'm already planning a trip to St Ives in July with a view of hopefully using another one of your properties.
(Feel free to offer me a discount) lol.

Thanks for an amazing trip!
