The Sail Loft

Whilst the Sail Loft may not have the same kerb appeal as some of the fisherman's cottages in St Ives.

Once inside you find a very comfortable, clean and well equipped apartment which has everything you could possibly need. This is the second time we have stayed there and wouldn't hesitate about booking again.

Lovely apartment in the heart of St Ives; is a fabulous location.

Very well equipped and nicely furnished. Managed to get a close car parking space on Park Avenue.

The Sail Loft requires a deep clean.

I had to use bleach to remove mould from around the bathroom shower screen prior to use. Old water was left in the kitchen kettle. All carpets are stained and, in minimum, need of a carpet cleaner prior to letting. There were ad hoc matress and pillow protectors. The single bedroom had no matress protector and the pillow cas was stained.The double bed matress and duvet were also stained and missing some pillow protectors. The twin bedded room had a stained matress and duvet. All windows in the property were filthy, and the dirty property entrance resembled a crack den ( terrible first guest impression). The ground entrance and steps to the apartment need a clean with boiling water and a suitable cleaning product. Additionally, rubbish under the steps should be .Upon our party attempted to contact a Sykes representative to advise them of the issues to no avail, as the representative could not be contacted. In conclusion, this apartment should not be relet until it is deep cleaned both indoors and outdoors.

Lovely holiday let, the gate as you go in is a little bit iffy and appears to be nearly broken.

The entrance could do with a spruce up maybe some build in storage for the bins etc and a clean. The actual let was lovely overall but the evening before we left the kick board below the oven came off and we couldn’t put it back on as it looks like it’s been repaired before with Velcro rather than done properly. Having said all the above negatives which were minor really, the actual property was lovely and could tell whoever owns it have put a lot of time, money and effort into the design. I would stay again but a few minor improvements would really improve the whole experience.

Lovely place and great location and would stay there again, only disappointment was the bin at the bottom of the stairs was overloaded and there were many other bin bags there which the seagulls had torn open

The apartment was ideally situated in St Ives and very well equipped.

We were so pleased with it we have already booked to go back again next year. There were just a few tiny niggles when we first arrived which needed to get sorted - Sykes were very helpful ie over flowing dustbin, batteries in the various remotes needed replacing and also to let you know the second set of keys is incomplete ie it doesn’t have a key for the entrance gate.

Great location, spacious apartment with everything you need.

Would stay again.

Property was great thanks.

Locating the property was not easy the post code takes you somewhere else on Sat Nav and the estate agents that you say the property is next to no longer exists. Luckily we know the area so it was okay for us but I guess other guests will have more difficulty locating the property. Just need to update your directions description.

We loved our stay really nice place and the location was excellent but wasn’t happy with the cleaniness wasn’t the best windows was moudly in bedroom, the extractor didn’t work in bathroom which made it very hot as there was no windows, The water didn’t go down plug hole in bath as there is thick hair in plug hole I tried to get some out but felt sick how bad it is.

. and the washing machin smells bad after a wash

Great location.

Very homely and comfortable apartment with all the facilities and equipment you could wish for for a stunning holiday. Would definitely book and stay again :) Ben and Janene

Just lovely what more can i say would go again tomorrow.

We loved the Sail Loft ❤️ Beautiful apartment in a fabulous location, perfectly positioned and within easy walking distance to the beaches, shops and restaurants.

This was our second stay in the Sail Loft and we would definitely love to stay again. Would highly recommend.

One of the best fitted out and comfort we have ever stayed in and we have been doing self catering for 37 years .

We certainly will recommend this accommodation to our friends and we hope to come back in the future . Me & Mrs Bothwell .

Arrived at property, collected keys opened outside door and was very worried about the state the apartment was going to be the entrance was all dirty got upstairs to the door window was full of black dust opened the door and was very surprised with the interior we would book this apartment again no problem .

Very good ,location very good and central.Just a couple of things to take a look at kitchen floor needs attention microwave not clean inside but would book again

We stayed for a fortnight in the Sail Loft, it was fabulous.

Lots of room for the four of us. Appliances and furnishings were high quality. Beds were very comfy. We very much appreciated the welcome items, thank you. Having a washing machine and drier was great. Shower and bath were lovely. Usually when I stay in a holiday apartment there is something missing that would improve the apartment, not so with the Sail Loft, it is a real home from home. We appreciated the wetsuit, beach chairs, buckets and spades, there was even hair straighteners! Sky TV and a dvd player are in the living room, all the bedrooms have TVs too, the main bedroom has Netflix, NOW TV etc. I enjoyed lovely walks to Carbis Bay each morning, then everything within St Ives was within walking distance. The restaurants were amazing! St Ives even had a visit from King Charles while we were there! We bought a Rover ticket for parking which meant we could park in all the places that we visited including St Ives. There is a Co op very conveniently situated about one minute from the apartment. We would love to come back one day. I highly recommend this apartment.

Excellent with all you could wish for.

However forgot to fill in the book

Best bath ever!

Great location and fabulous apartment Thank you x

Very nice internally.

However, the stairwell and access were messy with a TV Box and other unnecessary bits of 'stuff' which needed negotiating. There isn't a sea view... But otherwise, nice and very well presented.

Please add a vegan choice upon booking.

Don't assume everyone consumes dairy and animal products. Dairy and animal products/ingredients left for us would best be replaced with soya. Also, games, cards / puzzles not full sets which was irritating when playing games. No laundry detergent left which was disappointing. Freezer also needs,defrosting - was iced up. Don't think we will book this flat again.

Lovely light, spacious and comfortable.

close to co-op which was very useful, and to the centre of town and beaches.

The security light outside the front door flashed on and off all night, every time a car passed by on the road.

The flashing kept my daughter awake. The property info should make it clear that it is situated on a busy main road as it was very noisy with windows open at night due to the heat. Comfortable property, well equipped and good location close to the beaches, shops etc.

The holiday flat was lovely.

Very spacious and thoroughly enjoyable to stay in. The king size bed was so comfortable, one of the bed I've stayed in. Lots of wardrobe space and beautifully laid out with added entertainment of games and puzzles for us to enjoy as a family. Just a couple of points to add. There were so many unexpected extras which were brilliant, but it would have been great to have known some of these in advance e.g. hairdryer and straighteners, ample amounts of fans to keep us cool and washing up accessories - dishwasher tablets and fairy liquid included. It mentioned in the booking info to bring beach towels and tea-towels, however, the property had plenty of tea towels which was very useful. A little list of what the property included would have been wonderful to know in advance. Slight issues - the TV controller in the small bedroom didn't work, the bottle opener is not easy to use as has wonky arms making opening bottles very difficult and making guests aware of the unpredictable wifi before arriving would have been a great heads up - especially as it advertised as one of the amenities included in the property. However, we had a very enjoyable stay in the Loft within the busy heart of St Ives. Thank you

We have stayed at the apartment twice now.

Its lovely and spacious. I like that there are tvs in each bedroom ( bring dvds for the kids rooms as they don't have channels) it gives everyone their own space to relax. The kitchen is very well equipped, we made a few meals during our stay. The beds are very comfy. It's easy to drop luggage off outside and for food deliveries. We will have no hesitation in booking this property again. A couple of very small things for improvement, the advertised Wii hasn't worked on both of our stays and a chair in the living room could do with replacing.

We loved our stay here.

Everything we could have wanted or needed was provided, even down to the little details like miniature shampoos in the bathroom. The only thing we would have changed would be the temperature as it was sometimes quite chilly in the small room. Otherwise perfect!

The Sail Loft is a fabulous place to stay.

The finishes of the property and the extras gave it a 5 star feel. I have never stayed in a rental property, that is dog friendly, that was so well put together. Bottle of champagne and sweet mince pies on arrival were a fabulous touch. The location is brilliant and instructions on how to find it were spot on. I would stay here again and again.

Perfect place to stay,we go to st ives every year and normally have big hill to walk up to the apartment.

But this was great location. The Kids love their own room and loads of space for a family of 4 and a dog. Plus the apartment was lovely and warm and great views. Gutted it is booked out already for next year

We loved staying in the Sail Loft, St Ives.

The property was spotlessly clean and very spacious. With the mezzanine balcony overlooking the lower floor the apartment certainly had the wow factor !! Location was excellent, being within easy walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants. Plenty of car parks available nearby too. Would highly recommend and we will definitely book to stay here again. Many thanks Sykes.... we had a fabulous holiday.

Lovely, comfy, cental.

Regular visitors to St Ives.

This is a busy noisy location which is unavoidable. Windows although closed, let in a lot of noise (people outside shouting, buses, cars etc). Suggest an extra layer of glass as it disturbs sleep. TV in main bedroom had no signal so unuseable. Main TV and Sky remotes are difficult to get to work. Tried replacing batteries. Althouh beds were of a big standard we found the pillows too thick making sleep uncomfortable. A choice of pillows (some thinner spares) might have helped. Shower sprays all over the floor which needs mopping up after each use. Not a big problem but you can see the effect on the flooring grout. Perhaps install another drain in the floor near the bath. Overall a good stay. Noisy nights outside around 12 am were the issue for usm Thank you.

This was a beautiful apartment very well maintained and clean It is in a central location on the edge of the town the only downside was it was very noisy most evenings with late night drinkers .

The beach is a few minutes walk from the apartment and the train station is not far.

In an excellent location.

The Sail Loft is very well furnished and stocked as presented in the website.

Because of the location and the crowds in St Ives, however, our party of 4 adults did not get a decent night's sleep in the whole week and parking was a nightmare. Revellers till 1am, seagulls and joy riders on motorbikes till 5 am, bin men and construction workers from 6am till early afternoon. This is not the owner's fault, but the noise and the difficulty in parking was not a great holiday experience. The Sail Loft is great, alas the location was not.

"We had a lovely weeks holiday in St Ives, we were well pleased with the accommodation clean spacious and we'll equipped we particularly appreciated Lesley the house keeper greeting us it was a nice friendly touch ,we had quite magical walks to carbis bay along the wooded path." Michael Warwick

“We had a really excellent holiday in the Sail Loft. The apartment was modern clean and fresh and was situated in a really central location on the level with central St Ives. With an 8 year old and a 14 year old it was good to have TVs in each room and also a variety of DVDs and video games. We were grateful for the welcome pack - what a lovely surprise! Thank you for providing a great apartment. We will definitely be returning.” M.Ward

Booked at the very last minute for a short break and were delighted with The Sail Loft. Clean and bright, extremely well equipped and good location. Lesley was fantastic, really helpful. Would definitely book again if we return to St Ives.

Absolutely fantastic!

An amazing five nights in the most lovely apartment.

Superb location with everything we could possibly need. Perfect. Thank you:)

Stayed here for the week with mum and two daughters.

Best location as near to the front. Downside, nowhere for food but didn't bother us too much. Parked on a side road. Excellent house, very clean and fresh. We would book again!
