Great property
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 8 Bowling Green terrace. St Ives is a lovely area and this property was a perfect base to explore from. As other reviews have suggested the photos don’t do it justice, you can literally lay in bed and see the sea! I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to visit here.

Beautiful house in a central location!
The photos don’t do this house justice! The house is beautiful, decoration is lovely and it feels very clean and spacious throughout. View from the top window is amazing, and the garden is a lovely tranquil spot. It is very quiet even though you are so close to town centre and a few mins walk from the beach. Instructions and directions were really clear and helpful too. Thank you Ali! Amy, Leo & Bea x

The perfect spot for a St Ives stay!
Bowling Green Terrace is a beautiful house and was absolutely perfect for our family’s stay in St Ives. The location was perfect for us as we are a family that likes to spend long days on the beach and both Porth Minster and Porth Meor beaches were just short walks away, 10 mintues and 5 minutes respectively. Of course there was a lot of up hill walking, which my mother in law didn’t find easy but this is only to be expected in St Ives. We were very lucky with the weather and didn’t see a cloud in the sky all week! This meant that we were able to really enjoy the outdoor decking area, we sat out and cooled down in the evenings. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, lots of memories made and already thinking about next year!

Bowling Green Terrace
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 8 Bowling Green Terrace. It is tastefully furnished and decorated and the kitchen and was well equipped and easy to use. The master bedroom is particularly spacious with a comfy bed and a nice view over the rooftops. The decking area was a lovely space to sit in in the mornings and evenings when the weather was warm. The terrace was generally peaceful but is also in a very good location for accessing the different beaches in St Ives as well as the centre of town. We would happily stay again.

Everything you could ask for!
Perfect property in a wonderful location, so close to all the beaches and a workout to boot walking back from the beach, then chill in the garden with a G&T...but not change that at all. Travelling with one dog this property is perfect, no issues with only using the beach from 08:00 - 10am and 18:00hrs onwards which suited us just fine. Would highly recommend 8 Bowling Green Terrance as a great family staycation location to make wonderful memories ❤️ Thank you Ali for sharing your Cornish Gem and for advising us on parking👍

Great break at the sea-side
The property was even better than expected....the photos don't entirely do it justice. The home was very clean and everything worked as it should including the oven which cooked a great turkey on Christmas day! The owners were very welcoming and helpful. We would have no hesitation on staying there again.

Lovely house with lots of space, a big and fully equipped kitchen and a nice and sunny garden.
The location is perfect for a fabulous holiday. The beaches are very close, the tate although, the town is lovely, you get everything you need and you don`t need. Alison ist a very kind owner she prepared everything perfectly and was always available for every quation we had. The rooms are very nice and the beds comfortable. We would recommend this holiday house 100% and we would love to stay there again.

Loveliest house & amazing view
we had a wonderful time in this beautiful house and St Ives. We can recommend the accommodation to everyone and would come again ourselves. The house has everything you need and much more, is very lovingly furnished and has a great view from the upper rooms. Furthermore everything was really clean so we felt super comfortable. The only tiny negative point is that a relatively „steep climb“ is necessary to reach the house from the harbor. If you have mobility restrictions in this regard or are older and perhaps no longer very fit, I would advise against it. My father always had a hard time and needed a few short breaks. Otherwise, St Ives is to fall in love with. Many beaches, shops, restaurants and cafes as well as galleries and many of Cornwall's attractions are within easy reach. All in all, the house and the location were a 10 out of 10. Ali is such a great host, responded quickly to all my messages and questions. If I ever come to St Ives again, I would not want to stay somewhere else. This house just made our Cornwall Trip perfect. Our dog enjoyed the time as well. All beaches were still accessible with dogs and there were so many other dogs to play with. The people we met were all very lovely and kind.
