We absolutely loved our stay. The accommodation is perfectly situated, with everything you need in St Ives only a short walk away, and it has gorgeous beach views from the window seat. It is also very thoughtfully decorated and appointed, providing all the amenities for a comfortable stay and also bundles of personality. We loved all the unique artwork and especially the hand painted curtains, as they really add to the character. We’d highly recommend staying at The Saltings and would very happily return.

Amazing stay, fantastic location, and friendly hosts - we couldn't have asked for more. The sea views are to die for. We spent so many hours in that window seat, watching the dogs on the beach, the storm over the sea, and the sunset over the town. When you get bored of that, you can walk barefoot for the 20 meters to the beach, and wander across the rockpools searching for crabs. The property itself is really spacious and well set up. My mum walked in & her jaw dropped - it's just so much bigger & airier than the photos do justice to. You can tell that the family have used the property themselves for years, and have thought of everything - labelled drawers, well-equipped kitchen, and it even has fast Wifi (not expected at the tip of Cornwall!) Finally, you're in the middle of town. Turn the corner to a nationally rated art gallery (Penwith); 2 mins walk to the harbour; 3 mins walk to Fore street. Beautifully designed yet welcoming, with sea and town together. We'll be back!

Saltings is truly special. Its beautifully presented and so worth every penny. The art around the house captured imagination and made for storytelling with our children. The kitchen is fabulous, if you want to cook you can, its got everything you need. The location and views are incredible. Pull up in your car, unload, and instant relax with a good glass of red. A perfect Cornish holiday retreat which we will most certainly return to.
