The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped, the harbour and shops are only moments away. St Ives did not disappoint and we were so lucky we had amazing weather. We've made great memories here, we will definitely be back.

Gulliemot Cottage was a great place to stay in St Ives! We had previously stayed with the cottage boutique last year and was a really enjoyable experience, this year was even better. The location of the property is brilliant. You are literally 30 seconds walk from two beaches. All of St Ives' best restaurants are 2 minutes away. The property itself is incredibly unique. It is a tall and quaint cottage on the corner of a back street, with a real fisherman vibe. As with last year we were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper, with my favourite being the Brie (more of this would not be a problem in next year's hamper). Overall, this property was stunning, I'd recommend to everyone we know and it'll be the top of our list again next year when we visit!

We had an amazing week at Guillemot Cottage. The location is brilliant. It was so handy being so close to the harbour, the children really enjoyed making sandcastles on the beach. As always, excellent service from The Cottage Boutique staff, we would definitely stay here again.

A fabulous cottage just a 2-minute walk from local amenities. We stayed in the attic bedroom, which was beautifully styled and incredibly comfortable. The living room is both cosy and inviting, perfect for relaxing, reading, or unwinding after a day out. Would highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Guillemot Cottage! The location is perfect, and the cottage is beautifully decorated. It’s exceptionally well-equipped, with every detail thoughtfully considered by the owner. We’ll definitely be looking to stay again and would highly recommend it to others!

We have recently had a lovely stay at Guillemot Cottage . The cottage is lovely the welcome pack was fab . The kitchen dining area is so lovely we actually stayed in and cooked for 2 nights . The bedroom upstairs is beautiful the bed and pillows the best ever . It’s so close to the Harbour we would take a cup of tea out in the morning to watch the surfers seals and dolphins . Would definitely book with Cottage Boutique again attention to detail meant a lot .

Fabulous few days at this beautiful cottage, very generous welcome gifts, very much appreciated. Perfect location near Smeatons Pier, tiny outside space, just right for morning coffee or a little glass of wine in the evenings. Most amazing bedroom with an oh soo comfy bed !! Everything has been thought of. Cottage Boutique ladies, very helpful and patient whilst I organised a holiday home for George our little rescue cat. Will most definitely stay here again, thank you everyone, so so much.
