What Our Customers Say
July 2016
"Very well equipped, comfortable apartment. Lovely views and very convenient for walking into St Ives. Appreciated the welcome goodies & owners communicated well."
June 2016
"This is a really warm, clean and comfortable apartment with everything you would need. Nice crockery and good kitchen equipment, large soft towels, very comfortable bed and I liked the pictures in the apartment of the local area. As others have commented, the view from the lounge is stunning. The area is quiet and not far to walk to the soft sandy beaches and town. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper - a real surprise!"
March 2016
"The quality of the apartment and everything in it is outstanding. The view from the lounge is wonderful and so relaxing whatever time of the day or evening. You want for nothing with regard to what the owners have provided. The apartment is one of nine and is very private and quiet with a dedicated parking space. Communication with owners was excellent throughout. Definitely a place we would return to."
Febrary 2016
"This is a wonderful apartment with a beautiful sea view. It’s a pleasure to spend time indoors – important in February when the weather doesn’t lure you out quite so much! The underfloor heating is brilliant and the mattress on the bed is to die for. More than once I found myself on the web looking up some piece of furniture or equipment that I admired and wanted for myself, and the excellent WiFi made that straightforward. Everything is of very good quality, and I took pleasure in those small things – doors that close properly, a roomy and efficient fridge-freezer, fab shower and bathroom and almost everything you could need in the kitchen including, to my delight, sharp knives and measuring jugs..."
January 2016
"The flat was lovely - it had everything we needed for a stay, all the items were high quality, extremely clean and the views from the window were lovely. Liked the underfloor heating for a January stay. Bed mattress was just right - not hard. Wifi worked well. The whole area is very quiet and peaceful in January (a lot of the St Ives attractions and cafes are closed during this month), but plenty of things to do. Both my wife and I would love to come back here again in the future."

Booking Conditions including Covid-19
Booking Conditions & Covid-19 Conditions & Advice
Note: There are now 3 sections to this document.
SECTION 1: BOOKING CONDITIONS
SECTION 1: BOOKING CONDITIONS
These booking conditions (the “Booking Conditions”) are between the property owner / manager (“we”, “us” and “our”) and the holidaymaker(s) who book our property (the “Property”).
References to “you” or “your” are references to the person making the booking (“Booking”) and all members of the holiday party.
Any Booking is subject to the conditions below. These Booking Conditions form the basis of your contract with us so please read them carefully. Nothing in these Booking Conditions affects your normal statutory rights.
1. Making your booking
To book the Property with us you should make the payment specified in the initial quote (the “Quote”). If the Quote stipulates that you pay an initial deposit (the “Initial Deposit”) followed by a balance payment (the “Balance”), you must make both payments within the time periods specified. If the Quote asks you to make a payment in full, you must pay the full amount by the due date. If
the Quote specifies that any damage deposit (the “Damage Deposit”) you must also make that/those
payment(s) within the time period specified. Once the Initial Deposit or full payment has been received, you will receive an email with our booking contract. The contract between us will only be formed when you receive the payment confirmation email and is subject to these Booking Conditions.
You should carefully check the details of your Booking before making a payment, as well as the confirmation email and inform us immediately of any errors or omissions.
2. Paying for your booking
Where you have only paid an Initial Deposit, you are required to send to us your payment for the Balance and the Damage Deposit and/or Other Fee(s) within a certain period prior to the arrival date specified in your Quote (the “Arrival Date”). If you fail to make a payment due to us in full and on time we may treat your Booking as cancelled by you.
The Damage Deposit may be used for any repair and/or replacement of the Property, furnishings, fixtures and fittings that are necessary after your stay. We will return the Damage Deposit to you within 14 days of departure & return of the keys, less any deductions in accordance with the conditions listed above.
3. If you cancel or amend your Booking
If you need to cancel or amend your Booking you must write to us or email us as soon as possible.
A cancellation will not take effect until we receive confirmation in writing or via email from you.
The cancellation policy described below applies to your booking:
Cancellation Policy

• a 50% refund of the total amount paid by the cancellation date if they cancel at least four
weeks before check-in.
• a 25% refund of the total amount paid by the cancellation date if they cancel at least two
weeks before check-in.
4. If we cancel or amend your booking
We would not expect to have to make any changes to your booking, but if a situation occurs where we do have to make an alteration or cancel a booking we will contact you as soon as is reasonably practical and inform you of the cancellation or the change to your booking. If we cancel your booking, we will refund you any fees you have already paid to us. We will not be liable to refund you for any fees you may have paid to any third party in connection with your holiday (including, without limitation, fees for travel, entertainment, activities or insurance).
5. The Property
You can arrive at the Property after 18.00 hours for your holiday and you must leave by 9am on the
departure date.
If your arrival will be delayed, you must contact the person whose details are given on the booking confirmation so that alternative arrangements can be made. If you fail to do so you may not be able to gain access to the Property. If you fail to arrive by midday on the day after the Arrival Date and you do not advise the contact of your anticipated late arrival we may treat the Booking as having
been cancelled by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you for fees already paid to us.
See the Cancellation Policy.
6. Your obligations
You agree to comply with the Apartment regulations set out in any property manual provided to you and any other regulations reasonably specified by us from time to time and ensure that they are observed by all members of your party. You agree to keep and leave the Property and the furnishings, including items such as kitchen equipment, crockery and glasses clean and in good
condition.
Please note all towels, tea towels and bedding will be washed for you and you do need to do any washing (other than any personal washing) during your stay. If any of the above are washed and damaged by yourself during your stay we reserve the right to deduct replacement costs from your security deposit.
You agree not to cause any damage to the walls, doors, windows or any other part of the Property nor to do anything that may be reasonably considered to cause a nuisance or annoyance to us or to any other occupier of adjoining or neighbouring properties.
You agree to take all necessary steps to safeguard your personal property.
You are strongly advised to ensure each member of your party is covered by comprehensive travel insurance (including cancellation, flight delays, loss and damage to baggage and other property) and health insurance (including evacuation and repatriation coverage).
You cannot allow more people to stay in the Property than expressly authorised, nor can you significantly change the makeup of the party during your stay in the Property, nor can you take your pet into the Property unless it shown on your booking form or detailed in other correspondence and agreed with us in advance. If you do so, we can refuse to hand over the Property to you, or can require you to leave it. We will treat any of these circumstances as a cancellation of the Booking by you and we shall be under no obligation to refund you for fees already paid to us in those circumstances. Any refund will be at our sole discretion.
You agree to allow us or any representative of ours access to the Property at any reasonable time during your stay for the purpose of essential repairs or in an emergency.
7. Complaints
Every effort has been made to ensure that you have an enjoyable and memorable holiday. If however, you have any cause for complaint it is important that remedial action is taken as soon as possible.
It is essential that you contact us if any problem arises so that it can be speedily resolved. It is often extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible) to resolve difficulties properly unless we are promptly notified. Discussion of any criticisms with us whilst you are in residence at the Property will usually enable any shortcomings to be rectified straightaway. In particular, complaints of a
transient nature (for example, regarding preparation or heating of the Property) cannot possibly be investigated unless registered whilst you are in residence.
If any complaint cannot be resolved during your holiday, you must write to us with full details within 28 days of the end of it.
8. Our liability
Our maximum liability for losses you suffer as a result of us acting in breach of these terms and conditions is strictly limited to the total fees you have paid for the Booking.
We shall not be liable for any losses which are not a foreseeable consequence of us breaking these Booking Conditions. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by you and us at the time your Booking is confirmed by us.
Your Booking is made as a consumer for the purpose of a holiday and you acknowledge that we will not be liable for any business losses howsoever suffered or incurred by you.
We shall not be liable to you for any personal injury or damage to or loss of personal property, except where the injury, damage or loss is caused by our negligence.
This does not exclude or limit in any way our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation; or for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude or limit, or attempt to exclude or limit, our liability.
9. Law
The contract between you and us is governed by the law of England and Wales and we both agree
that any dispute, matter or other issue which arises between us will be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales.
10. General
You may not transfer your Booking or any rights and responsibilities under these Booking Conditions to any other person, without our prior written consent.
If at any time any part of these Booking Conditions is held to be unenforceable for any reason under any applicable law, that part shall be deemed omitted and the enforceability of the remaining parts shall not in any way be affected by that omission.
These Booking Conditions, together with the Quote, the Cancellation Policy and our confirmation email contain the entire agreement between us and you relating to the Booking and supersedes any previous agreements, arrangements or discussions.
SECTION 2: COVID-19 CONDITIONS & ADVICE
Any guests showing signs or sufering with Covid-19 immediately prior to checking in to the apartment are required to cancel their booking. Visiting will cause further cancellations ( the decontamination period is 6 days) and put housekeeping at risk of infection.
Travel
You can use the following link to get up to date guidance on travel- https:/ www.gov.uk/guidance/ coronavirus-covid-19-safer-travel-guidance-for-passengers.
As you can see from the separate document detailing the new cleaning regime, ourselves and our housekeeping company, Helping Hands, are doing the best to minimise the risks of COVID 19. However, as you will have no doubt seen on television broadcasts it is not possible to completely mitigate all risks.
The following points are rules that have been outlined by Helping Hands to protect their staf and to minimise cross infection between the guests and Helping Hands Staf. These measures obviously help to protect our guests as well as our cleaners.
There may be slight aesthetic changes to soft furnishings on the beds, chairs and the sofa to minimise cross contamination.
• Arrival time will be from 6pm on the Saturday your holiday is due to start. Departure on your checkout Saturday will be by 9am at the latest. These times have to be strictly adhered to in order to protect the cleaning staf and guests. A text message has to be sent to Helping Hands on 07989 460436 on departure to confirm the property has been vacated to allow time for the extra cleaning protocols due to Covid 19
• We strongly advise that you do a BIG SHOP from your home town if travelling by car to avoid pressure on local supermarkets and to avoid the expected queues.
• We ask guests to only contact Helping Hands for emergency situations ( e.g. a boiler failure) Any breakages or small maintenance issues should be reported so that appropriate repairs or replacements can be sourced on the change-over day.
• We require all guests to strip the bed linen (whether or not used) and place in bags provided on the departure day. The same for towels, tea towels and bath mats into a separate bag.
• The Apartment should be left clean and tidy with all rubbish, including the bathroom bin, put into the black bin liner and placed in the outside wheelie bin.
• Please take any shop bought items as well as extras like buckets and spades with you so that housekeeping don’t have the job of disposing of these.
• Any guests that develop symptoms of Covid-19 during their stay are required to inform us and or housekeeping and return to their home address immediately for self isolation.
These extra measures are designed for the protection of all our guests and our housekeepers. If we all adhere to the new protocols we’re all helping to protect ourselves.
The extra work for the housekeepers increases the cost of this service. We as the property owners are taking on this extra cost and not passing it on to our guests. For this reason, your cooperation with the new regime would be much appreciated and help to keep our apartment open to all our guests for the coming months.
Our Housekeeping Company, Helping Hands, will be disinfecting our apartment’s table and chairs on the private decking area attached to the property. However if you would like to use the communal table and chairs in the garden we would ask you to bring your own disinfectant and use this prior to every use of the communal patio furniture.
To comply with guidance, Helping Hands will be removing all of these items from the apartment along with Welcome folders / guest books / maps / tourist information / magazines but you can of course bring your own as long as they are removed when you leave.
As has been our practice for 10 years we will electronically send all information that is required for your stay along with the wi-fi code by email.
FRESH FILTERED AIR
Guests should be aware that two years ago we invested in an EnviroVent Mr Venty ECO2 unit . This is an energy efficient unit that introduces fresh, filtered air into the apartment and dilutes and replace some of the air, much like opening windows. This is a healthier environment for the dwelling.
Although the apartment has been closed since lockdown this unit has been running 24/7.
