    "We had a week stay for six adults and a dog."

    Spacious house in lovely spot - high up and uphill walking worth it for beautiful views over harbour day and night. We were all comfortable and had a great week. There were issues with the Wi-Fi being out for a few days and a toilet plumbing issue - both sorted out within a few days.

    "One of the reasons we chose this property was because it internet."

    A member of our party needed to attend online meetings for work. The internet didn’t work, I reported it to Sykes who quickly responded but it wasn’t fixed resulting in the person missing 1 meeting & going to a pub to use internet, other party members have incurred fees from their network provider. The upstairs toilet was blocked, this was again reported, I was told someone would come out but again nobody came. A major health & safety concern was the balcony which was rotten & very unsafe for 2 young children . The property was in poor condition, there was no lock on downstairs shower room & fan didn’t work. We didn’t use wardrobes as they smelt musty. There was a pair of men’s underpants & trousers in the back double bedroom, under the beds was thick of dust. The T.V didn’t work either. The services stated were not provided, so you have broken your contract. For the amount of money we paid, the property didn’t match this. We have stayed in numerous houses & this was by far the worst. It was so frustrating that 5 members of my party left the property early. I attempted to use the vacuum cleaner, it was so heavy & stunk( it obviously hadn’t been emptied in ages) A very disappointing holiday that didn’t meet our expectations.

The property

Mor Kernow lies in an elevated position in St Ives, Cornwall, overlooking the rooftops and out to the bay and Godrevy Lighthouse.

With four bedrooms, a balcony and seating area from which to enjoy the view, and a prime position just steps away from the beaches, shops, pubs and restaurants, this holiday home is ideal for friends, families or couples.

Enter this seaside retreat and take the stairs up to the first floor, where the living spaces rest.

The kitchen is fitted with everything you need for a self-catering break, including an all-important dishwasher to help with the cleaning up.

The living/dining room hosts a dining table, sofas to relax on after a day of exploring, and a TV, though you may not need it when the armchairs set in the bay window promise such a striking scene to admire.

The balcony leads off this room, with more seating should you fancy your morning cuppa in the fresh sea air.

To the rear, the multilevel terrace garden provides a space to dine alfresco in the warmer months.

Back inside, the first of four bedrooms includes a king-size bed, serviced by a shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms are on the second floor.

Climbing the stairs, you’ll find a super-king-size with superb views, a twin which is ideal for children or friends sharing, and a king-size with a characterful sloping ceiling to catch your rest in.

When you’re ready to head out and explore, you’ll find the stunning St Ives Harbour just a short walk away, as well as a good selection of eateries for those days when you don’t feel like cooking.

A holiday in St Ives is not complete without a trip to the stunning sandy beaches, with Porthminster and Porthmeor being the closest to Mor Kernow, and Bamaluz and Porthgwidden just a little further.

Following the coastline, you’ll reach the delightful seaside resort of Carbis Bay, and slightly further again, Hayle, known for the family-friendly Paradise Park and Jungle Barn Cornwall.

If you’re willing to hop in the car, you can even reach Lands End, Penzance, and many other iconic Cornwall attractions from here.

Enjoy a quintessentially Cornish holiday at Mor Kernow.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

ST IVES

Penzance 6 miles.

One of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, St Ives offers narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination!
