5 star reviews for Saltings on Portmeor, St Ives in ~Cornwall
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.

Just the most magical place in the world. The waves are hypnotic and the vibes impeccable. You're literally on the beach and the shops and local pub are less than 5 minutes away on foot. Can't recommend it enough for a family or friends break

Beautiful property, with amazing views of the beach - spent a few lovely days on that window seat, watching the storms and sunrises over the sea. You can tell that it's a family property rather than just a business - loads of personal touches and bits of love-and-care which make it a perfect break.
