The setting was perfect, the description of a woodland retreat was spot on. We loved sitting gazing out at the squirrels playing in the trees and were lucky enough to have them come up to the door and peer in. After leaving out almonds for them we had daily visits.Seagulls Rest was beautifully styled, it felt welcoming and cosy. Thank.you to Tina who was so helpful with our enquiries. We had an amazing stay, and holiday.
Excellent place to stay for visiting St Ives and surrounding area. Very clean and welcoming place and easy to check in and out, couldn’t be happier with it. Would recommend to everyone.
The hosts thought of everything to make the stay easy. Nice having a bus stop right there that goes
Excellent hosts and property

Lovely space with a cute seaside theme, perfect for our little family weekend in Cornwall. The surrounding woodland area is peaceful and secluded too. Our host was very communicative and welcoming, very kindly leaving a little treat for our children and dog. We would definitely love to stay again
What a beautiful bungalow very clean everything you needed was there set in beautiful quiet peaceful location. Host was very helpful overall a perfect place to stay
Seagull Rest was a fantastic place to stay, clean, tidy & very well maintained..
Our host Tina insured we had everything we needed for our stay which was a very thoughtful touch & very appreciated.
We would highly recommend Tina & her bungalows..
The property was immaculate and can't fault anything. Would definitely recommend staying here if you have a dog as theres lovely walks in the woodland, whilst being a short distance from St Ives.
Had a wonderful time. Tina was exceptionally responsive. The bungalow was clearly well looked after and spotless. So much attention to detail has gone into making the bungalow and home from home. All

We loved our short stay in the gorgeous Seagull's Rest. Highly recommended! So stylish, so well-equipped and the communication from Tina, the host was excellent. Will definitely book again in the future
All you need for a short break.
Great to use to explore the St Ives area…. There’s a bus to all parts at the entrance.
Didn’t use the entertainment on site but looked clean and tidy.
Tina’s home was tidy and cozy, just perfect for our little holiday. The holiday village was lovely, with playgrounds and various amenities. Convenient distance to wonderful beaches and restaurants. Tina was thoughtful and helpful, even left special treats for our children for Easter. We would stay again!

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Advertised for 4 people but definitely more suitable for family with 2 young children. Chalet was very small and only has one mirror in the main bedroom so with 2 older daughters getting ready to go out was a bit chaotic. Think the photos may have been taken some time ago as the property feels a bit tired and some of the issues mentioned in other reviews are still to be resolved. We’ve stayed at several VRBO properties so surprised this had such a high rating.
The property was superbly equipped, exceptionally clean and just perfect for our short break. Set in woodlands, we saw a squirrel each day and birds in the trees! It was altogether peaceful and good four souls! Many thanks to Tina
