  • "The location of the Admirals View to St Ives and views from the front window are outstanding!"

    The convenience to numerous bus routes and the train station is a huge benefit. The apartment is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Definitely recommend Admirals View to a couple looking for a relaxing and convenient escape.

    Thankyou Chris. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the stay and thankyou for leaving the apartment spotless.a.Much appreciated Property Owner

  • "Lovely property with great views and in an ideal location to enjoy all that the area has to offer."

    The private parking is literally around the corner and is a real bonus in this super busy town. Owners were absolutely lovely and very quick and helpful in resolving a minor problem we encountered. Overall a lovely apartment that i would happily book again if in the area.

    Thankyou Mr Bennet for such a complimentary and detailed feedback. We did enjoy having you in the flat and are very surprised to see you give us such a low score when everything appeared to be excellent. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely 4 night stay here a Admiral's View."

    The facilities were top notch and the added extras (cream tea/tea bags/coffee/fresh flowers, etc) were very welcome and such a nice touch. The living area is very spacious for a two person accommodation, we were the envy of our family when we told them how much space we had (they were staying in St Ives too, in a 6 person apartment with living space half the size of ours!) The bedroom and bathroom were lovely too, bed very comfortable and lots of storage space too. The ceiling in the bathroom was low but it did not bother me as I am a shorty. Lots of board games and dvd's to keep you amused. The location is ideal, only a five minute walk to the beach and centre of st Ives, where there are so many places to eat/drink. We would recommend Scoff's (great breakfast and lunch place) The Thai restaurant on the sea front and a little cafe on the corner of St Ives, serving delicious cakes with a very warm welcome. Would definitely stay here again but maybe for longer. Also having a designated parking space in St Ives and so close to the property was fab!

    Many thanks for your very positive and detailed comments. We are delighted that you felt everything was top notch and would love to see you for longer on your next visit when hopefully the sun will shine on you. Property Owner

    We won’t repeat all the positives mentioned in other reviews, suffice it to say, Admirals View proved to be a gem ! Having enjoyed a wonderful stay here, we have high praise for the apartment and it’s location. Thank you so much to the lovely owners and housekeeper.

    We still enjoy staying there as much as we did the first time. The location is great as it is so close to the Rail Station and the Bus station. The sea and harbour views from the lounge are fabulous.

    Thanks again for your kind comments and for returning to Admirals View. It’s always a pleasure to meet up with you again and we will continue to endeavour to ensure your stay is a happy one. Property Owner

    The property and incredible view was unsurpassable and to be within a couple of minutes walk of all that St Ives has to offer was the icing on the cake. What a beautiful little town, with all the shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, art galleries, etc. etc. that you could wish for! We would love to return in the future when hopefully the weather will be a little better, but even in the rain and wind we had the most amazing time and we would not hesitate to book this beautiful apartment again if available!

    Thank you for your positive response. We hope you will return and will be welcomed by a week of beautiful wearher! Property Owner

  • "The floor in the kitchen is wooden so it is not as easy to clean as other materials, unfortunately there was bits in the corners and between some of the boards, the oven is huge and takes a long time to warm up so be prepared, a bit over the top for two people, the beautiful view is blocked a lot of the time by local buses, a problem the owner is trying to rectify, we found it noisy from upstairs at times over the bedroom although we weren’t aware anywhere else, I did find the steps to the bathroom a bit of a challenge but it does state this clearly."

    The apartment is very convenient and the car park is a bonus, the bed is extremely comfortable so a game of two halves really.

    Thankyou for your comments. The wooden floor has now had a makeover and is much improved. Property Owner

    The cream tea on arrival was a nice touch. The down side is the bathroom. It has clearly been added, and my husband at 5ft 10 couldn't stand upright in it. Also the conservatory leaked when it rained.

  • "We paid double what we usually pay for a one or two bedroom property but this is the worst we have stayed in."

    Both the bathroom and kitchen were below the standard we would expect. The living room and bedroom were comfortable but in need of decluttering to make space for our own belongings. Simple things like hooks for coats, or a dishwasher, would help. The property needed a deep-clean despite covid assurances.

    Thank you for completing your feedback which has been discussed with the owners. The kitchen and bathroom are constantly being upgraded, with a new fridge and freezer recently being fitted in the kitchen. It was felt that as the property only sleeps two people that a dishwasher wasn't a necessity. The owner will fit some hooks for the hanging of coats and will add a chest of drawers for additional storage. The owner was surprised at your comment regarding the property needing a deep clean as previous guests comments regarding cleanliness have been positive. If you had made us or the owner aware of any issues during your stay, they would have been more than happy to try and rectify them for you. UPDATE: The property now has a dishwasher Property Owner

  • "The apartment was good, the view was second to none."

    The only downside for me was the steepness of the steps into the bathroom and the steps in the bathroom. I was aware there were steps but I found them more of a challenge than expected. Having said that the holiday overall was very good and Admirals View was in a prime spot it's a nice place to stay.

    Thank you for taking the time to send in your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the steps in the bathroom were a challenge. As you are aware we do mention the steep steps in the website text, there are photographs which show the steps on the website. There is a handrail and a light which comes on automatically at the bottom of the steps. We advise that should you have any concerns that these are discussed with our Reservations Team at the time of booking. We are glad that apart from the steps, you were able to enjoy your holiday at Admiral's View. Property Owner

  • "This property is spacious and beautifully presented in a location that is ideal for the railway station and local buses."

    The friendly owners live above and their description of the bathroom is open and honest, we knew what we were likely to find. You have to be very careful entering and leaving via the steps from the bedroom, internally it is a problem if you are tall and you have to be constantly aware of the three different floor levels within the bathroom. Apart from the bathroom the only things that could improve this delightful property would be the provision of a dishwasher and a Sony remote control for the Sony TV to enable easy access to subtitles and the programme guide. We had a great holiday despite Covid-19.

    Thank you for taking the time to send us your review of Admiral's View. We are so glad that you you found the property to be spacious and beautifully presented. I can now confirm that the TV has been upgraded. There are three steps to the en-suite and also steps in the en-suite itself and this is captured in the photographs and description. We do hope that you will return in the future. Property Owner

  • "This property is in an excellent location with just a short walk to the town centre and harbour."

    It was comfortable although as the description says the steps to the bathroom are quite steep. The only downside was the attention to detail with the cleaning. When we arrived we found bits on the carpet near the front bay window. The other issue was the Wi-fi which dropped out for a couple of days. Although it was not a problem for us I think some people may be a bit upset in this day and age. All in all we had a fantastic week in Cornwall.

    The owner is delighted that you had a fantastic week. They are sorry if any aspect of the cleaning fell below their usual 4/4 rating. Wi-fi in Cornwall is not the fastest in UK however most devices function well and no other guest has mentioned a poor wi-fi service. Property Owner
