Lovely house in St Ives

This is a great property. It is comfortable and spacious, and in a great location. We loved the comfy beds and the outside space. It was helpful to have a dedicated parking space, though it is at the foot of a step drive so takes a bit of care getting in and out. It is possible to drive to the front door to drop off luggage but it is quite a narrow approach. Overall we had a fantastic time.

Great house, great location.

So long as walking up and down the steep streets of St Ives is no problem, we highly recommend this house. A 10 minute walk to Fore Street or the beach. Excellent children’s books plus high chair etc for young ones. Lots of character. Great views from the south facing bedrooms. Back yard a bonus.

Beautiful holiday home

The house is well cared for and loved. Exceptionally clean and well equipped for a holiday. The beds are very comfortable with quality bedding. The towels provided for both bathrooms are large and very soft. The patio area it is a large sunny oasis to enjoy Al fresco dining or just to enjoy the sunshine. The house is located at the top of a hill (most of St Ives is very hilly). About a five minute walk down hill to the town centre. At the end of your stay your fitness levels will have improved so allow ten minutes for the return journey.Very useful to have a reserved parking spot as parking is difficult anywhere near the town. Really enjoyed our stay and thank you to Ali the property owner. Hope to return

Great property

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 8 Bowling Green terrace. St Ives is a lovely area and this property was a perfect base to explore from. As other reviews have suggested the photos don’t do it justice, you can literally lay in bed and see the sea! I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit here.

The photos don’t do this house justice! The house is beautiful, decoration is lovely and it feels very clean and spacious throughout. View from the top window is amazing, and the garden is a lovely tranquil spot. It is very quiet even though you are so close to town centre and a few mins walk from the beach. Instructions and directions were really clear and helpful too. Thank you Ali! Amy, Leo & Bea x

The perfect spot for a St Ives stay!

Bowling Green Terrace is a beautiful house and was absolutely perfect for our family’s stay in St Ives. The location was perfect for us as we are a family that likes to spend long days on the beach and both Porth Minster and Porth Meor beaches were just short walks away, 10 mintues and 5 minutes respectively. Of course there was a lot of up hill walking, which my mother in law didn’t find easy but this is only to be expected in St Ives. We were very lucky with the weather and didn’t see a cloud in the sky all week! This meant that we were able to really enjoy the outdoor decking area, we sat out and cooled down in the evenings. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, lots of memories made and already thinking about next year!

Bowling Green Terrace

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 8 Bowling Green Terrace. It is tastefully furnished and decorated and the kitchen and was well equipped and easy to use. The master bedroom is particularly spacious with a comfy bed and a nice view over the rooftops. The decking area was a lovely space to sit in in the mornings and evenings when the weather was warm. The terrace was generally peaceful but is also in a very good location for accessing the different beaches in St Ives as well as the centre of town. We would happily stay again.

Everything you could ask for!

Perfect property in a wonderful location, so close to all the beaches and a workout to boot walking back from the beach, then chill in the garden with a G&T...but not change that at all. Travelling with one dog this property is perfect, no issues with only using the beach from 08:00 - 10am and 18:00hrs onwards which suited us just fine. Would highly recommend 8 Bowling Green Terrance as a great family staycation location to make wonderful memories ❤️ Thank you Ali for sharing your Cornish Gem and for advising us on parking👍

Great break at the sea-side

The property was even better than expected....the photos don't entirely do it justice. The home was very clean and everything worked as it should including the oven which cooked a great turkey on Christmas day! The owners were very welcoming and helpful. We would have no hesitation on staying there again.
