It’s hard to praise this holiday let too much. It’s in absolutely the most perfect position, directly overlooking the beach on a quiet street, a short walk from the best St Ives has to offer from restaurants and pubs to art galleries and museums. The atmosphere in the apartment is really warm and comfortable, the place is full of lovely pictures and the most personal touches. It’s been thoughtfully designed, but not to strike you at first glance, but to emerge in your consciousness when you stop to think about it. And, it’s superbly well equipped and furnished to guarantee a comfortable and restful stay.

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.

This is the place from an early coffee throughout the day to talk life and the universe. Watching the changing light on the giant day bed hanging over the sand, is completely addictive. As dusk darkens reflections of friends making dinner get stronger in the glass and finally you turn from the sea to the nights festivities. Both living space at Old Saltings and Upper Saltings are the biggest rooms I have had the chance to enjoy. This means there is room for everything to happen all at once without friction. It’s like living in a film.
