My husband and I stayed at 26 Piazza from 15th-22nd October and had a wonderful time! The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and the views are simply amazing! Even when we had a storm, it was incredible to watch the huge waves and lightning over the sea from the windows. I think we only put the TV on once! There were only two things I thought were missing - a table on the balcony so we could eat outside, and a hook to hold the balcony door open. Other than this it was perfect and we'll definitely book 26 Piazza again.

Stayed at 10 the Warren this week, st ives is the most fantastic place for a holiday and the house we stayed in had a top view of the harbour but the accommodation we stayed in was damp in the top bedroom, had to have the dehumidifier on all day long and emptied it every night, living room carpet was dirty, bed settee mattress was stained and dirty, the stop in the shower room sink was faulty, wouldn't lift up if you used it, the outside space you couldn't as the garden is overgrown and the garden table and chairs were dirty, I don't think it was cleaned properly before we moved in, weeds growing

Excellent communications from Cornish Riviera throughout the booking and stay. Would highly recommend this Agent and will use again. Great apartment in a good location with stunning views of Porthmeor Beach. Only downside is not bring able to access the property until 17:00, I feel if the properties been cleaned and the keys are there then you should be able to access.
17:00 is far too late, nearly a day of your holidays passed.
