It’s rare a place totally exceeds expectations, Upper Saltings does just that. A stunningly, magical apartment directly overlooking the beach with astounding views, incredible sunsets and the sound of the ocean which lulls and comforts. We were two families and there was enough space for everyone yet it was also homely and super comfortable, with everything one could possibly need provided. The beds, mattresses, bedding and towels were of a superior quality and the place was spotless when we arrived. Beautiful artwork featuring Cornwall's best artists adorn the walls and children will love the bunk bed room. We were totally smitten, this apartment is an absolute jewel.

We've used Airbnb quite a lot now, but our stay at the old saltings is going to be a pleasant family memory for years to come. We had a warm e welcome before we even arrived. Whilst there are many flats in st ives with a good location, we dont think we have been in one yet which was such a joy to spend time in. Thanks again and hope to come back.

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!
