overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend Arcus. Great location clean and comfortably but if you are a light sleeper then bring your ear plugs. The only reason i rate it 4 star is because of the traffic noise
Reply from Classic Cottages
We are so glad you enjoyed it. Like most properties within the very popular town of St Ives, you can expect some level of noise. Whether that be from some of the passing traffic or in some of the most central areas, from the hustle and bustle of passers-by and noise associated with the cafes and restaurants, so if you are a particularly light sleeper, this may be worth considering with a lot of the properties. We appreciate this may not suit everyone, but for many, the quick and easy access by foot to all the lovely cafes, restaurants, shops, galleries and beaches that St Ives has to offer, as well as the standard of property on offer, make this perfect for making the most of visiting this beautiful town. Thanks for the feedback. Classic Cottages...

the apartment was nice and clean, it had everything you need. beautiful location near the beach. You could hear the road clearly in the bedroom.

With its fantastically convenient location on one of the main roads into and out of St Ives, you are just a few minutes' walk from the great selection of cafes, shops, restaurants and galleries as well as one of St Ives 5 beautiful beaches. So, whilst there will be some road noise, particularly in the busy summer months, we hope you agree it is a small compromise for this fantastic location and standard of property. Classic Cottages...

Check to confirm they have WiFi as advertised before booking
Reply from Classic Cottages
We are so sorry you experienced those issues with the wifi. Although we have been in touch with you since, we just wanted to confirm that the owners had a temporary solution in place during your stay, while they waited for a new broadband installation, so they were very sorry this hadn't worked. We are pleased to confirm the new broadband is in place and working as it should now. Classic Cottages...

This is a lovely, spacious, light and airy apartment in a fabulous location for Porthminster beach or town. We've stayed several times. Really well equipped kitchen with everything you need, and beautifully maintained throughout. Comfy beds and good bathrooms. Slight bit of road noise at night, if that bothers you. Parking is some distance away, but there's a carpark next door and if you're lucky or move your car late night / early morning you can get parked there (it's not cheap, but useful for loading/unloading etc). ...

Excellent apartment, beautifully presented. It’s in an ideal spot for getting around without having to use the car, as it’s a quick walk to bus and train stations. It’s good to have the private entrance and sitting out area too. Arcus easily met our expectations and is to be very much recommended. ...
