Canât recommend enough! Our second stay here and the standard has not dropped! Great communication throughout, housekeeping went above and beyond (thank you Marie) the apartment is well equipped, everything you could possibly need! The perfect location, we will be back again for sure!
My second stay at Iris and every bit as enjoyable as the first. The property is very well equipped and so close to everything in St Ives. Booking process has always been easy and efficient. I find as soon as I leave I am already planning a return visit! Highly recommended.
Outstanding, perfectly located cottage with gorgeous interior decor
Outstanding cottage with gorgeous interior decor immaculately presented by super-helpful housekeeper Marie. Location couldnât be more perfect, with all of St Ivesâ attractions a few steps away. You will want for nothing during your stay. The accommodation is high-spec throughout and styled beautifully. So convenient to have some welcome essentials provided, so you can relax immediately with tea and a biscuit.
Second stay at this comfortable and well equipped cottage. Lovely decorations for Christmas. Great location for everything St Ives has to offer and for exploring the lands end and lizard peninsulas.
Beautiful property in an ideal location. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay. Very welcoming environment and an incredibly helpful and generous arrival package which is such a bonus after a long journey. Always a relief when you know you can have a cuppa immediately! Booking and follow up all went very smoothly. Iâve been to St Ives a number of times and this is the nicest property I have stayed in. Donât think I would want to book anywhere else now.
We had a fantastic week stay and the sun shone the whole time! The house is located in the heart of St Ives and is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, there is nothing more we could have asked for except to have stayed longer! We will definitely be back!
A beautifully designed, fabulously equipped luxury cottage in central location. It had everything a visitor could possibly need and exceeded our expectations. Amazing.
We had a fabulous time at Iris. The property is absolutely beautiful - so comfy, cozy and well presented. The location is perfect - especially being less than 30 seconds walk from St Ives Bakery and their famous Cruffins!
It was great being so central, yet also being so quiet with not many people wandering up and down the Digey.
We will definitely be back!!
We were absolutely thrilled when we arrived at the property Iris
Absolutely spotless and everything we needed and more
Location is spot on straight into your holiday from the doorstep
We will definitely come again
Thankyou so much Marie for making us feel so welcome.
High end interiors and rich quality throughout - each room is straight from an interiors masterclass and you are spoilt with every detail - from the emma Bridgwater seaside mugs and lobster plate (my favourite!) to the gorgeous flames in the remote gas log burner! The only place we will stay xx
Lacks personal touch, parking quite far but good.
Fire not working in lounge
Too cold downstairs in the bedrooms as the owners have the heating preset to 14 degrees if it had been a rainy cold weekend it would have been rather unpleasant.
However location is amazing and cottage has been designed exceptionally well, housekeepers friendly and worked hard to get us in at 4pm, however I did find 4pm check in rather late and 10am checkout too early
Our second stay at Iris cottage this year and yet again we were not disappointed! on this visit we also brought friends who were equally as happy as us.
Communication from booking to arrival was good, on arrival the cleanliness and finishing touches were again, impeccable.
Iris cottage is so conveniently located in the heart of St Ives, close to shops, restaurants and beaches a perfect location.
Having the opportunity to make use of the secure parking negates the need to worry about what you'll do with the car, using the walk up the hill to collect a perfect opportunity to walk off the over indulgence of pasties!
If we were to be critical when staying with more than the two of us the lounge area could accommodate a further sofa to provide relaxed seating for all four adults staying, buth this is being very picky!!
Fantastic accommodation 5*Plus, and yes we will be back again!!!
Thank you
This is by far the best holiday home experience my wife and I have ever had.
When the booking was confirmed we received a really detailed welcome pack with all the information you would ever need. Included in this was the option of a secure parking space a 10/15 min walk from the beach front. Very handy as the parking in St Ives can be a bit of a nightmare.
When we arrived, we'd been provided with fresh bread from the local bakery, eggs, butter, jam and biscuits, and as much tea and coffee as you could drink. It made us feel at home right away and got our holiday off to a great start.
The space was so calm and relaxing that we found ourselves spending far more time there than we generally would. The gated central courtyard was a lovely addition and in our case, with 2 small children, it provided a safe space for them to play.
The location is amazing. You're just one step away from the hustle and bustle of the harbour, you have Porthmeour beach 2 mins away and 90% of all the shops and restaurants are less than a 5 min walk.
I genuinely don't think you'll find a better place to stay when visiting St Ives. We'll certainly be back.
What an amazing place! Looking at the map, I hadnât appreciated just how great the location was â super handy if you have small children. It honestly couldnât have been better!
The house itself was also incredible. Beautiful âSt Ivesâ interior with lovely colours and a nautical feel. Everything was so well thought out. There were nightlights downstairs, which were great as there are a couple of steps. As a bathroom designer, I really appreciated the hand showers, the spec throughout was really high. Even the mugs!
We will definitely be booking again.
If I could find a better word than phenomenal to describe this place then Iâd use it. Perfect location, stunning interior which was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. Weâve been coming to St Ives for over twenty years staying in various cottages and apartments and this place tops the lot for us.Thank you to the owners for providing such luxury in St Ives!
The cottage is perfectly located right in the heart of the old town, just off the seafront. Very spacious and nicely furnished itâs ideal for a family holiday. The facilities were to the highest standard and the owners were very accommodating - we had twin babies and they brought in two cots, two high chairs and two buggies for us at no extra cost.
Second time staying at mycottages and wasnât disappointed except for the weather.
The cottage was very clean and had everything I needed there for a great holiday.
Call Park problem
We had problems to get out of your car park.
When we entered the car we got in all right.
But then the door was closed when we wanted to leave the car park. From inside the code we had would not work anymore. That was at night so there was nobody to reply on the phone when I called. I left a message on the voice recorder but nobody called me back. After 30 minutes we managed to give in the code number from the outside position. This also needed several trials.
We were already thinking of climbing over the fence. Or contact our friends whom we left behind in the cottage to bring some food and drink and stay in the car for the night
Beautiful Cottage, not without a few issues though
Iris is a beautiful cottage in a great location, and is well maintained. There was safe storage for surfboards, a welcome outdoor shower to wash sand off outside and the living area was great for having friends round. Overall we found it value for money, and had a good holiday there, but there were a number of issues we didnât expect. It was not ready for us at the correct time, in fact it was nearly 5pm before the housekeeper had finished (she was lovely and very polite), and the drain in the shower was totally blocked with sand so the plumber had to come out to clear it. In addition to this the blinds downstairs are not sufficient (I had to buy an eye mask from Amazon to be able to sleep), people talk loudly in the street outside the bedroom window in the middle of the night and the car park is miles away (donât be fooled by the comment that you can get a taxi to and from it, as all St Ives taxi companies refused to do the journey for us.
Iris is a gorgeous cottage right in the heart of St Ives. Decor and furnishings are all so tasteful - we loved it. Great communication with the owners. Highly recommended.
Stylish and comfortable accommodation in fantastic location
Iris is a gorgeous accommodation with a very high spec finish. The bedrooms are large with very comfortable beds and the upstairs living space large but so bright and airy that it feels even bigger than it is. All decor and furnishings are high spec and the decor is nautical and very appropriate being by the sea. It was suitable for young children but could be more child friendly with a stool in the bathroom for little ones to reach the sink but thatâs just being picky. The other slightly inconvenient and annoying issue was the front door only opening just over half way which made it a bit difficult to ge the pram in and out. The location is absolutely brilliant being on a quiet street just off of the hustle and bustle of St Ives and and literally 2 mins from the beach and harbour. I would recommend familiarising yourself with the luggage drop off before your visit as if you arenât familiar with St Ives, this can be a little overwhelming at first. We really couldnât fault anything with our stay at Iris, other than a couple of minor issues. I would definitely recommend Iris to anyone looking for a well located, high spec 2 bed cottage in St Ives.

I grew up in Stockton on Tees the centre of the industrial north east. The greatest event of the year for myself, my brother and sister was the annual trip to St Ives for our summer holiday, despite the long drive and the constant âDad are we nearly there yetâ, the first view of the beautiful bay as you come into the town never failed to take our breath away and fill us with excitement for the days ahead. Those holidays gave me such fond memories, I wanted to re-create the experience for my son and grandson, so in 2015 I purchased the three cottages which were in a near derelict condition with the vision of creating some wonderful holiday cottages where the magic could be shared not only with friends and family but also our valued guests. Today we still come to St Ives for our Summer holiday and what a joy it is to see my mother and father spending time on the beach with their children, grandchildren and 5 year old great grandson. We hope you enjoy the living spaces we have provided and that you can create some wonderful memories of your own with your friends and families.
The cottages were purchased in 2015 due to their prime location on the prettiest and most photographed street in St Ives. The properties were in a near derelict condition and sadly in need of lots of tender loving care. It was our vision to transform the cottages into beautiful spaces where holiday makers could enjoy time out in luxury surroundings. Over a two-year period, we slowly and on occasions painfully, saw our initial concept transformed into reality with the creation of Iris, Wella and Juliot. With the renovations completed in early 2018 we are delighted to offer visitors to St Ives the opportunity to relax in complete luxury and enjoy the stunning surroundings that our transformation team have created. We truly hope you live our dreamâŠ
