A fantastic property with great sea views

Review Submitted: November 29, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is extremely well presented and furnished as well as being located close to ammenities in St Ives. The apartment had everything you needed (& more!) for self catering, but was also within walking distance of the local restaurants. We would recommend the following restaurants: Alba, Alfresco, Porthminster Beach Cafe, The Sloop and The Seafood Restaurant - Rick Stein (Padstow). There are lots of coastal walks within easy reach of the apartment which were lovely. Spent lots of time enjoying browsing the local galleries (of which are many!) and walking on the sandy beaches which are very clean. The sea views are fantastic - enjoyed watching the surfers out in the sea every morning whilst eating our breakfast in the apartment. We would definitely recommend this apartment to our family and friends and hope to stay there again.

Great apartment

Review Submitted: March 23, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
Had a wonderful week in March staying at Surfs Up. Great views of the ocean and coast from the living rom and main bedroom. Decor, fittings and appliances of the highest spec, an extremely welcoming and comfortable apartment. Very comfortable beds and luxury bathrooms, loved the Molten Brown toiletries.
Plenty to see and do, can recommend coastal walk to Zennor (6 miles) and visits to Sennon and Kynance Cove a must.Stunning sunsets over Porthmeor beach.
Great restaurant, However, the Sloop Inn offers great cuisine on par with any restaurant, would recommend the Seafood casserole, Shelfish Thai Curry. Overall a great holiday in an excellent apartment, will return for another stay in the future.

Sea views and sunsets

Review Submitted: July 3, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Great apartment, well equipped and with superb views - a grand base from which to explore St Ives and south Cornwall.

Lots of good restaurants to try in St Ives - try the Seafood Cafe, Alba and the Garrick hotel. All highly recommended.

Make sure you bring plenty of change if you want to use the car park in front of the apartment (a weekly permit was £33 in June 2008 and the machines only take coins!). And watch for the gulls if you're enjoying a pastie or ice cream outside... they enjoy them too much to!

Review Submitted: January 7, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2007
What can you say - St Ives must be THE place to stay in Cornwall, and Surfs Up can only make the stay better. Fantastic apartment, beautifully maintained, excellent facilities, and what a view - can not be bettered, and will definately be back.
Local restuarants are great - On Shore and Cobblers offer fantastic food right on the seafront, and the Sloop is a great place to have a drink after.

Owner's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write this review. 2007 was our first season for 'Surfs Up' and your comments reflect those left by other guests in our visitors book.One guest phoned from our balcony on his first morning to advise us that the web photographs just didn't do justice to our fantastic apartment. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you return again soon.
