Overview
Property code: OC-WRENF

A pretty, nautical themed retreat, ideal for you, your loved one, and your canine companion. The cosy accommodation provides the ideal spot for you to relax and recoup after busy days exploring St Ives and the rest of Cornwall.

This former fisherman’s cottage has everything you need for a self-catering stay in St Ives with your beloved pet. Step inside and find a bright, airy and colourful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. To one end is a comfortable sofa set in front of a TV where you can get cosy and watch a film as you let sleeping dogs lie. A two-seater dining table is to the other end, and a selection of board games is also provided for guests. Around the corner is a cosy but practical kitchen where you can rustle up tasty meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Completing the accommodation is a charming bedroom with a double bed, and a shower room. Though there is no outdoors space at this property, the golden shoreline of Harbour Sand beach is just 50 metres away, where dogs are welcome to run free most of the year.

Enjoy exploring the park and headland The Island (300 metres) where you can admire far-reaching views, and also set off on foot and paw along the South West Coast Path which winds around the town and passes spectacular scenery. St Ives is a very dog-friendly town with loads of shops, galleries, and pubs that welcome canine companions with open paws, and several of the beaches in the area have areas that dogs can enjoy.

Unfortunately, despite the nice accommodation and views, we would not recommend staying here due to the serious issues with the upstairs residents. They appear to live there permanently rather than being holiday guests, and throughout our stay they were extremely noisy and disruptive. They returned home between 1am and 3:30am every night and would Read morethen spend hours stomping around, moving furniture, shouting, arguing, and creating loud disturbances, on our last night this continued until around 6:30am. There were people coming and going at all hours, often only staying briefly, and the atmosphere felt quite unsettling. On several occasions we could clearly smell strong cannabis inside the flat, which was completely unacceptable. The noise was not normal everyday living noise, it was persistent antisocial behaviour that made it impossible to relax. The upstairs residents were unfriendly and confrontational after they bolted the stable door so we couldnt get in when we arrived on our first day. One of them opened the door saying something which we couldnt understand and appeared visibly under the influence of drugs. Being locked out of the accommodation was extremely distressing and made us feel vulnerable returning late in the evening after meals out. We genuinely worried that the situation could escalate if we complained and they would permanently lock us out. We have stayed in many places where there has been some level of noise, which is understandable in shared buildings, but this went far beyond what anyone could reasonably tolerate. Instead of feeling relaxed on our break, we were unable to sleep each night. On one occasion we were close to contacting the police due to the level of disturbance and arguments. It is a real shame, as the flat itself and its sea views are lovely. However, the ongoing antisocial behaviour from the upstairs residents completely overshadowed our stay. Hide

Wren Flat was lovely, close to main street. Only downside was that we were locked out twice by the other occupants in both apartments above. This caused alot of stress and inconvenience, especially the second time as it was raining heavily and it took over an hour to get it sorted.

The cottage is very basic and felt a bit like a student flat. It is very compact and ok for a couple who don't mind being in close proximity. It had most things anyone would need and the kitchen bathroom and bedroom were fine. Just felt the main room needed a little more TLC . The location of the flat was great .

Super cottage. Small and compact but absolutely enough space for two humans and a dog. SO close to the harbour. Comfy bed. Would recommend!

The cottage was modern, clean and very well Located. Unfortunately we left a day early due to noisy guests moving in above us half way through our stay. The noise went on until early hours of the morning, which was so loud the ceiling lights were rattling at most points, to which we couldnt put up with it any longer. This is no reflection on the cRead moreottage, just bad luck who you get above you. Hide

The flat is spotless and everything appears to be new. The sofa is extremely comfortable. This flats location is brilliant 1 minute from Harbour beach and all the shops and restaurants. It is however very small, being part of a small terraced house converted into 3 flats.

It only has one small window that can be opened and that is in the bedroom. It lacked an outside dustbin, rubbish had to remain in the flat and it lacked a tin opener, we had to buy one.

The cottage had a great location very close to the beach and was modern and quite well equipped. However a small number obvious items were missing, particularly in the kitchen area.
