“Excellent property.”

Lovely open plan living - ideal for families with children. Hot tub was a bonus! Location fantastic- overlooking the beach and close to the town centre, although the hill back can be a challenge with little ones!

“The Boscarne is a lovely place, the views are amazing, it has everything needed to able you to relax and enjoy your time away, the house is very specious, even with 6 adults and 4 young adults, my parents joined us and my mum was recently diagnosed with an agressive cancer and is recovering from major surgery, she finds it hard to walk and climb stairs so having a bedroom on the ground floor was perfect and it was large enough for her to feel comfortable to walk around.”

The owner Liz was very accommodating, any question we had she responded immediately and if needed would be there within 10nmins, she wad also very friendly. I would highly recommend and we would like to return in the future.

“We had a wonderful stay at Boscarne.”

The owner Liz was extremely helpful before and during our stay. Excellent communication throughout. The property was stunning, super clean and beautifully maintained, exactly as advertised with stunning views of St Ives. It was easy to find and the facilities were excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Boscarne or to recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

“A true 10 person property,plenty of space and bathrooms, lovely views,attentive landlord, if you do the sums for ten adults it's as cheap as a premier inn per night per person,everything thought of,all the pots and pans you need to sort Xmas Dinner.”

“Wow wow wow what an amazing property.”

Truly stunning and all our needs taken care of. Incredible home done to an exceptionally high specification. Every detail was covered. Fit and healthy then walking to town is no issue what so ever, if not so then the local taxi firm is again incredibly helpful, friendly and so so reasonably priced. Amazing place and will so so be back. Thank you for a dream family holiday we loved every moment of it. Xxx

“Great property facilities and position.”

Could perhaps do with shelf in the en-suite/bathroom and a large doormat inside the backdoor, to stop dragging sand into the house, BUT minimal complaints really, just being picky! Had a great holiday there with the family and would definitley go back.

Katrina July 2022

“The property was beautiful and the setting stunning.”

My main problem was the check in time was 6pm (to allow for the hot tub to be filled with clean water.The leaving time was 10am to allow for this as well). However a man came in unannounced on on leaving day at 8.45 am to empty the hot tub which considering the amount you are paying for the place is a bit cheeky and rude. in theory we should have had the place until 10am

- Katrina, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, glad you thought the property was stunning. Apologies the check in time is 5pm. This was notified to Sykes earlier in the year, but it appears that on the arrival instructions it may still have said 6pm. This has now been checked on all of our properties. Apologies. The check in time at 5pm has nothing to do with the hot tub. It is for the house to be cleaned, checked and any repairs made. There are clear hot tub instructions, that say on your day of departure, the hot tub is out of action at 8am This is to allow the tub to be drained, cleaned, refilled and switched back on to heat the new water. The process of heating the water can take 8 to 10 hours to reach 38 degrees. We take the position that as guests are due to leave at 10am, then it is better for us to try to give the new arrivals, the chance to use the hot tub on the day of their arrivals, with the temperature at 38 degrees. We would rather do this, than take the hot tub out of action the day before guests depart, or leave the process so late that the incoming guests don't have the hot tub at all on the day of their arrival. Just to clarify, the man wasn't unannounced it was clearly detailed within the hot tub instructions. And yes you do have the property until 10am, but just without the hot tub. Sorry you thought we were being cheeky and rude. Liz Property Owner

“We spent our Easter holiday at Boscarne.”

The house is clean and tidy, new and well- maintained. They supplied everything you needed: plenty of towels, toiletries, washing stuffs,… The owner lady was very helpful. Only one minus thing, there’s no microwave so it’s abit difficult for us to warm up the foods. We felt very comfortable there and had a great time. Highly recommended!

- Thi, April 2022

Just to say there is a microwave. One of the ovens is a microwave oven. It looks externally the same, but as you open the door it has a different look to it, and the control knobs are different for microwave use. The instructions are in the cutlery draw. Property Owner

“We had a wonderful holiday at Boscarne.”

When we arrived the house was immaculately clean, and lovely and warm. The beautiful views of the sea from the living room and 1st floor bedrooms were stunning. We particularly enjoyed the log burner, the hot tub, and watching movies on the projector in the evenings. Being able to walk into the centre of St Ives in 10 minutes meant the property was brilliantly located. I cannot fault the property, it’s perfect for a coastal holiday in Cornwall.

Fabulous time we will return

“Great location, inside of the property as described clean, tidy, and well presented, external does need some upkeep though along with the garden furniture as this lets the properties appearance down.”

- Anthony, September 2020
Mark August 2020

“The house itself is lovely,and it’s position overlooking the sea is very nice.”

However, for the money we paid, I didn’t expect the outdoor furniture to be so shabby. The long wooden table and chairs have certainly seen better days, and the garish plastic chairs lacked cushions, (we couldn’t find any). Indoors I did I’d not expect to find chipped glasses and crockery , I also thought that a few pictures on the walls would have given it a warmer feeling , but realise that is a personal choice.

- Mark, August 2020
Cathy August 2020

“The location, size and view from this property were excellent.”

The owners were extremely helpful and we couldn't have asked for more. Sykes have been very helpful and supportive throughout the covid lockdown when we had to keep changing the dates due to lockdown restrictions. Thank you.

Dawn August 2019

“Property/ had everything we needed and more to give us a fabulous base for the week.”

Liz, our host, was on hand to meet and greet when we arrived and was available for help & advise during our stay. There was plenty of room for 5 couples to relax and not feel on top of each other. St Ives is a great location and there was enough to keep us all occupied...surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, great eateries & the Minack Theatre was well worth the visit...but do take layers if you go! Overall a great week...well worth the 400 mile drive...would love to return.

James July 2019

“What a beautiful house, perfect for the two families, with plenty of space for the children and adults.”

The location is perfect, a short walk into town and the beaches, the views are amazing, perfect for enjoying when eating or having a drink outside. Internally the house has everything you need and more. The extra additions, the icing on the cake - projector screen, hot tub, Netflix - certainly added to the overall experience. We will be back!

- James, July 2019
Nicola May 2019

“Boscarne is a fantastic house, in a great location (only a short 15 minutes to a number of beaches - although a hilly walk back up!”

). Liz was a fantastic host, ringing in advance to check how we wanted the bedrooms arranged and greeting us on arrival. St. Ives is amazing and we'll definitely be back!

- Nicola, May 2019
John October 2018

“As a family of 6 adults and 2 young children Boscarne was perfect for us.”

It was very well equipped (toys and games also). The luxury of having a hot tub was the icing on the cake! The location was lovely as we overlooked the sea and only a short (hilly) walk to the beach and town. It was our first time to Cornwall and we were so pleased with everything that we plan to go back.

- John, October 2018
Elizabeth August 2018

“The property exceeded our expectations.”

Great views, excellent facilities, ideal for a large group. The hot tub was a great extra and the house really well stocked with everything you needed e.g. washing up liquid, cling film & foil etc...
