St Ives Bluebell Cottage

Not much.

This place feels like it has been abandoned on what is otherwise a nice holiday village. It is overgrown all around and clearly unmaintained, there is a massive tree overhanging and blocking the path, there were more spider webs than I've ever seen on the balcony, every room smells like the damp and now so do all our clothes, the mattress springs are non-existent, there was an old towel left on the back of a bedroom door, the kettle lid doesn't secure and resulted in my wife being scalded when making dinner, the picnic bench outside is rotten and broken, there is no mop or broom, no hair dryer, one of the toilet doors doesn't lock, the shower leaks onto the bathroom floor and there is mould on the back of the bedroom curtains. I have emailed the owner all of this information with pictures of everything but not heard back. Overall, very disappointed.

The place was absolutely filthy. I complained but just got a not interested attitude

It was filthy. Tapes in kitchen was falling off. Spiders website all over. Black slime on window blind. Mould on bottom of curtains. Window frame in door was falling out. Awful

everything, lovely house, lots of space and included everything that you could need.

nothing - all great

Cottage was lovely and spacious and the site was well kept

The entertainment facilities on site was poor especially as the holudsy village is so big. Think they later more for little kids I had 2 15 year olds and there was nothing for them. Also it was advertise there is an outdoor pool and thete wasn't. Pool was small and needed updated

No breakfast there

Everything

Location was good. Parking good. Shady trees a bonus. Woodland walks pleasant.

As much as I don't like to be negative, I always think that it is best to let you know of downfalls, otherwise you would not know about it. It could very much do with a towel dryer to hang wet clothes after swimming. It could do with some maintenance like secure kitchen taps, small bathroom to lock better. The TV is Ok but remote control is very worn. Some windows could do with a thorough clean. Ironing board a little tricky and dangerous. ( I speak from experience as I was born and bred in St.Ives and my parents used to run a lodging house.) On the matter of ownership, reception told me it was not theirs (ie John Fowler) and that £60 entertainment charge should have been £65. Not that it mattered too much but it was printed in the contract. Finally, I was offered an arrival time change which I brought forward to 15:00 hrs and not 16:00 hrs. We met the cleaner at 14:45 hrs and she was not informed of this...what was that about?

Super little Cottage, cosy and clean. Stocked well and great location. Can’t wait to visit again.

A little damp/slight mould but is expected when the cottage is sometimes unoccupied . Kitchen taps could do with changing but a minor thing.
