“Perfect Cornish Gem”

Reviewed 30 May 2021

The Old Chapel was everthing we wished for in Location and accommodation for a holiday in Cornwall and a family wedding in St Ives, The owner has provided every home comfort and necessity you could think of. The house was spotless and furnished to very high standards, with the bonus of sea views as it is situated above St Ives and Carbus bay . The property is fairly close to a quiet (it was the week we were there ) touring caravan park, you are permitted to make use of the large heated outdoor pool, although we didn't really make /have time to fit in a swim. The owners have lovely guest manuals with details of some of the stunning walks in the area. I would suggest making use of the local bus or taxi company's which are very reasonably priced and take just a few munutes as the parking in St Ives is a nightmare or better still take the 25 min walk down and transport back up. Decent local supermarkets are just a few minutes away down the hill. Our one regret was we were a week too early for the re-opening of the Village pub, which has excellent guest reviews. Would definitely stay here again.
