Beautiful property in an ideal location. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay. Very welcoming environment and an incredibly helpful and generous arrival package which is such a bonus after a long journey. Always a relief when you know you can have a cuppa immediately! Booking and follow up all went very smoothly. I’ve been to St Ives a number of times and this is the nicest property I have stayed in. Don’t think I would want to book anywhere else now.

Outstanding cottage with gorgeous interior decor immaculately presented by super-helpful housekeeper Marie. Location couldn’t be more perfect, with all of St Ives’ attractions a few steps away. You will want for nothing during your stay. The accommodation is high-spec throughout and styled beautifully. So convenient to have some welcome essentials provided, so you can relax immediately with tea and a biscuit.

If I could find a better word than phenomenal to describe this place then I’d use it. Perfect location, stunning interior which was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We’ve been coming to St Ives for over twenty years staying in various cottages and apartments and this place tops the lot for us.Thank you to the owners for providing such luxury in St Ives!

The cottage is perfectly located right in the heart of the old town, just off the seafront. Very spacious and nicely furnished it’s ideal for a family holiday. The facilities were to the highest standard and the owners were very accommodating - we had twin babies and they brought in two cots, two high chairs and two buggies for us at no extra cost.

We have just had the most amazing 4 day break at Iris in St Ives. It was the best self catering property we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was overwhelming. The cottage was immaculate and the furnishings were just perfect. Everywhere was so clean including the amazing courtyard which appeared to be hosed down regularly, possibly due to the sand bought in on shoes off the beaches? The cottage couldn't have been better equipped, we wanted for nothing. We were even spoilt with a tv in the bathroom!
The position of Iris is unbeatable, literally minutes from the beaches and only seconds from the bakery and other shops and restaurants. We cant recommend this property highly enough. Our only problem now is that we don't want to stay anywhere else in St Ives and the 3 cottages are booked out far in advance!.
We hadn't stayed in St Ives for 32 years and coincidentally we stayed in the cottage opposite Iris on that last visit. Lots have changed since then but St Ives is still as charming as ever. We both holidayed there as children and spent our honeymoon there 40 years ago. Since our last stay in 1991 we have only visited for the day but since finding 'My Cottages in St Ives' we will definitely be coming back with our Grandchildren very soon.

Wow!! Thank you Karen for your amazing review of Iris Cottage.

Having stayed centrally in St Ives before this was the first time staying at Iris. It’s a wonderful find, really smart and clean and given the central location very quiet.
Quick 2 mins walk to shops, harbour and beaches which is great.
Unfortunately the fire wasn’t operational but given the warm mild weather it wasn’t needed.



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your great review of Iris Cottage, we're delighted to hear you had a good time in St Ives. I'm afraid the fire was out of operation due to a fault which required a new part, we had hoped it would have been fitted and in working order ready for your stay but unfortunately this wasn't possible so please accept our apologies for this. The underfloor heating system and radiators were available if needed but as you said, the mild, warm weather meant the fire wasn't required. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Previous 2 years spent in Juliot
Wanted a bit more space & due to mobility issues needed a walk in shower so booked Iris
Wow what a place, enormous ( bearing in mind this is used when someone books all 3 apartments for the extra space )
Very good King size main bedroom + good size twin bedroom
Bathroom inc bath & walk-in shower + 2 sinks
Staircase to first floor
Enormous kitchen & lounge, far too big for us two but we enjoyed the aspect & the extra space
Could understand this being used for big family / friends gatherings
Very good wi-fi
TV reception was a bit iffy during the week with the picture pixelating on both sets
The facility of using the secure parking is very good
We used Fore Street, parked outside the bakery & unloaded / loaded our luggage, then short distance to Iris
We also used taxi on the Friday to take us to collect our car ( if you do this book early the week as most taxi companies are committed "school runs"
Everything we had in Juliot was echoed in Iris but bigger
As an older man I struggled with the step staircase with only the "oar' handrail to support me
Also I think the "dark" stone steps down from bedroom 2 & down towards bathroom could benefit from a "white strip" to highlight the steps to make it more safety aware
Yet again another super here





Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Iris, we are delighted to see this is your third time of staying in our cottages. This is the first time we have been made aware of an issue with the TV reception and will address this straight away, thank you for bringing it to our attention and we can only apologise for any disruption this may have caused. Iris does have more internal steps than our other cottages and we appreciate your feedback which we will review and look at how we can implement accessibility improvements. We really appreciate these comments as it allows us to fully understand how we can improve our guest experience when they stay with us. As you have previously stayed in Juliot, you will be aware that this cottage has no steps or stairs and Wella only has stairs with a full handrail to the living area and no other internal steps on the ground and first floor. Both of these may be more suitable should you stay with us again in the future. We have recently updated our accessibility statement for all the cottages to provide a more detailed guest overview. Thank you for your valued feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind regards.

Lacks personal touch, parking quite far but good.
Fire not working in lounge
Too cold downstairs in the bedrooms as the owners have the heating preset to 14 degrees if it had been a rainy cold weekend it would have been rather unpleasant.
However location is amazing and cottage has been designed exceptionally well, housekeepers friendly and worked hard to get us in at 4pm, however I did find 4pm check in rather late and 10am checkout too early



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking the time to review Iris Cottage. Firstly we apologise for the gas fire not being in use as we are awaiting a spare part which unfortunately hadn't arrived prior to your check in and therefore it was switched off for safety reasons. The cottage has full central heating throughout and whilst the room temperatures are pre-set, the temperature can be increased by the guests by turning the thermostat clockwise. This is covered in the welcome folder or Marie could have helped you with this should you have raised it with her during your stay. Our check in and out times are set to allow the Housekeeping team ample time to maintain the highest level of cleaning and property maintenance, unfortunately we have no flexibility to reduce the turnaround time and when guests arrive early or check out late, this puts increased pressure on the housekeeping team. We hope you enjoyed your weekend stay, you certainly had the best of the weather!

Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in!

We had a fabulous time at Iris. The property is absolutely beautiful - so comfy, cozy and well presented. The location is perfect - especially being less than 30 seconds walk from St Ives Bakery and their famous Cruffins!

It was great being so central, yet also being so quiet with not many people wandering up and down the Digey.

We will definitely be back!!

Our second stay at Iris cottage this year and yet again we were not disappointed! on this visit we also brought friends who were equally as happy as us.
Communication from booking to arrival was good, on arrival the cleanliness and finishing touches were again, impeccable.
Iris cottage is so conveniently located in the heart of St Ives, close to shops, restaurants and beaches a perfect location.
Having the opportunity to make use of the secure parking negates the need to worry about what you'll do with the car, using the walk up the hill to collect a perfect opportunity to walk off the over indulgence of pasties!
If we were to be critical when staying with more than the two of us the lounge area could accommodate a further sofa to provide relaxed seating for all four adults staying, buth this is being very picky!!
Fantastic accommodation 5*Plus, and yes we will be back again!!!
Thank you

This is by far the best holiday home experience my wife and I have ever had.

When the booking was confirmed we received a really detailed welcome pack with all the information you would ever need. Included in this was the option of a secure parking space a 10/15 min walk from the beach front. Very handy as the parking in St Ives can be a bit of a nightmare.

When we arrived, we'd been provided with fresh bread from the local bakery, eggs, butter, jam and biscuits, and as much tea and coffee as you could drink. It made us feel at home right away and got our holiday off to a great start.

The space was so calm and relaxing that we found ourselves spending far more time there than we generally would. The gated central courtyard was a lovely addition and in our case, with 2 small children, it provided a safe space for them to play.

The location is amazing. You're just one step away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, you have Porthmeour beach 2 mins away and 90% of all the shops and restaurants are less than a 5 min walk.

I genuinely don't think you'll find a better place to stay when visiting St Ives. We'll certainly be back.



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for your amazing review, we really appreciate the time taken to write such a great, informative review. Thank you. We are extremely lucky with the location of our cottages and having the secure courtyard as you say, is great for a safe playing space and al fresco dining. We are delighted that you had such a great time staying in Iris and would love to welcome you back to stay with us again in the future.

Call Park problem
We had problems to get out of your car park.
When we entered the car we got in all right.
But then the door was closed when we wanted to leave the car park. From inside the code we had would not work anymore. That was at night so there was nobody to reply on the phone when I called. I left a message on the voice recorder but nobody called me back. After 30 minutes we managed to give in the code number from the outside position. This also needed several trials.
We were already thinking of climbing over the fence. Or contact our friends whom we left behind in the cottage to bring some food and drink and stay in the car for the night



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your review for Iris and the 5 star ratings. We are really sorry to hear about your problem with the secure car park and as discussed on the phone, we are in contact with the car park owners to find out what happened and how they should be contacted in the event that this problem should ever happen again.

Iris is a beautiful cottage in a great location, and is well maintained. There was safe storage for surfboards, a welcome outdoor shower to wash sand off outside and the living area was great for having friends round. Overall we found it value for money, and had a good holiday there, but there were a number of issues we didn’t expect. It was not ready for us at the correct time, in fact it was nearly 5pm before the housekeeper had finished (she was lovely and very polite), and the drain in the shower was totally blocked with sand so the plumber had to come out to clear it. In addition to this the blinds downstairs are not sufficient (I had to buy an eye mask from Amazon to be able to sleep), people talk loudly in the street outside the bedroom window in the middle of the night and the car park is miles away (don’t be fooled by the comment that you can get a taxi to and from it, as all St Ives taxi companies refused to do the journey for us.



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us and have responded to your points raised as follows: We have spoken with the Housekeeper regarding your arrival time, in this respect we always try and have the properties ready and available for 16.00, on this occasion, the departing guests were late to leave and unfortunately left the cottage with additional cleaning over and above what is normally expected. As you will appreciate, we have high standards to maintain for incoming guests and on this occasion we over ran the time slot and apologise for the delay in check in. As soon as you reported a blockage to the shower tray we arranged for a plumber to visit and rectify the problem. This was done as quickly as possible from the time it was reported. The bedroom blinds are a feature of the property and whilst they do not offer complete black out, they are designed to meet bedroom sleeping conditions, we are sorry that they affected your sleep. All three of our cottages are in a private courtyard and the only bedroom which is roadside is the main bedroom of Iris. The Digey is in the main a quiet road in the evening and whilst a small amount of outside noise is possible, this would be far less then any of the main roads in such a central area of St Ives which can be extremely busy both in and out of Season. We offer out of town parking free of charge to ensure all guests are guaranteed a space, which are often at a premium, we often arrange taxis for ourselves and guests during their visit and have not experienced any issues to date. If you provide us with more details with which taxi firms you had issues with we will speak to them directly. Depending when you arrived and tried to book, we can only assume that the difficulty coincided with school runs which are very busy times. Once again, many thanks for staying with us and we value your feedback.

Iris is a gorgeous accommodation with a very high spec finish. The bedrooms are large with very comfortable beds and the upstairs living space large but so bright and airy that it feels even bigger than it is. All decor and furnishings are high spec and the decor is nautical and very appropriate being by the sea. It was suitable for young children but could be more child friendly with a stool in the bathroom for little ones to reach the sink but that’s just being picky. The other slightly inconvenient and annoying issue was the front door only opening just over half way which made it a bit difficult to ge the pram in and out. The location is absolutely brilliant being on a quiet street just off of the hustle and bustle of St Ives and and literally 2 mins from the beach and harbour. I would recommend familiarising yourself with the luggage drop off before your visit as if you aren’t familiar with St Ives, this can be a little overwhelming at first. We really couldn’t fault anything with our stay at Iris, other than a couple of minor issues. I would definitely recommend Iris to anyone looking for a well located, high spec 2 bed cottage in St Ives.



Gary & Paula replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for this wonderful 5 star review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Iris and would recommend our cottages. We have taken your comments on board regarding the child's stool and will look into supplying one in both of our larger cottages. There is a door stopper on the front door of Iris so we will also get that looked at so that it opens wider to enable easier access with a pram.

Iris is a truly lovely cottage that is equipped to the highest standard in a central location in St.Ives. The inside of the cottage looks exactly like the pictures - it is light, spacious, airy and lovingly decorated throughout. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and all the linen in the bedrooms and bathrooms was soft and dazzlingly white. There is plenty of hot water, the shower is good and the complimentary toiletries smell wonderful. The location is perfect - The Digey is centrally located but the road itself is quiet with no traffic noise. There are short and long stay car parks within a few minutes walk - but be aware these are very busy - even in April - so it is best to use the guaranteed parking space provided (about a 15 minute walk away). We visited St.Ives whilst indoor dining was not allowed so can’t comment on the restaurants except to say that you must book weeks in advance to get a table either at lunchtime or during the day. St.Ives itself is very picturesque, there are art galleries on every corner and the beaches are covered in golden sand - due to the cobbled streets and the hills, I’d suggest it’s not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet. We had a really enjoyable stay at Iris in St.Ives and would certainly seek to rebook here on our next visit to St.Ives

We loved our stay in Iris. We are a family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 6. The cottage is beautifully done. The beds are super comfy. The living area is big and light and the kitchen a very nice size. The location of the property is fantastic. Right in the centre of St Ives being only a couple of minutes walk from Porthmeor beach and the harbour. I would definitely want to come back.

We stayed in Iris for 5 days for an Autumn getaway to St Ives. A beautiful base for our break, centrally located for the beaches, shops and restaurants.
A very tastefully decorated cottage, so comfortable and clean and everything you need for your stay is provided, including a welcome pack which meant we could settle in with a cup of tea and a biscuit after a long journey.
The lovely courtyard is gated so our Grandson who was staying in Wella, could play safely and run between the cottages.

Although the secure car parking is a mile away, we were glad it was provided as even though we stayed out of season, the local pay and display car parks were full. (worth the distance for peace of mind that you have a guaranteed parking space).

A very relaxing break in beautiful surroundings, we wish it could have been longer!

Thank you for your lovely 5 star review of Iris, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. The gated courtyard really is an asset to the cottages and makes for a safer environment for everyone, especially the Children and any dogs staying in Juliot!

Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Amazing place to stay. We loved it and didn't want to go home.
