Wonderful house, very well equipped, beautifully situated for Lelant beach and with easy public transport into St Ives to avoid the traffic, and most of all - a fantastic garden!

The cottage is beautifully situated and the garden is absolutely stunning. The layout offers plenty of space and privacy for a family. The bedrooms are very large and quiet, and the beds are very comfortable.

This is a very special house in a superb setting. It is rich in character both inside and externally; it has a magical artist's touch; it meets all modern expectations of comfort but it exudes a genuinely historical feel. It provides an atmosphere which is conducive to thoroughly happy holidays....

The Ship House is a large, spacious and characterful cottage in a great location and with a beautiful garden. The cottage and garden is full of interesting art and artefacts. The lovely swimming beach at Carbis Bay and the attractions of St Ives beyond are walkable along a cliff path or a short scenic train journey away. Everything was perfect. We would definitely book again....
