 Fantastic week at The Lighthouse. Such a quirky place to stay. Views from every room were amazing. Hard to tear yourself away! Location is perfect, minutes away from the shops and restaurants yet still quiet and relaxing! Lots of great places to eat but the TalTay was a favourite. Enjoyed the week so much, have booked for next year already!" 

S and W - October 2023


" Another great week at 'our home from home.' Been on the beach, visited gardens, played mini-golf, had lovely food at restaurants, did shopping, seen lots of seals, 1 pup had to call marine medics out for, as was struggling, fortunately after 1, 1/2 hours of observing it, it began to swim away. 2 huge female seals came to see us just outside our window. We have had rain, teriffic waves, splashing up the rocks near The Lighthouse, it actually ended up crashing over rocks to the Pedn Olva Hotel. Shame to have go home but will be back in May"

J and K - October 2023


"This is a magical place! Difficult to tear oneself away from the views. Waves, sand and cormorants. Everything needed was provided. Thank you!"

"The Lighthouse is a very special property - from the outside it looks an ordinary house, but when you are inside, it is a fantastic 4 storey tower linked by a single spiral staircase. The views are fabulous, and the location is perfect - very peaceful but handy for all that St Ives has to offer"

S - April 2023

"Our second visit to The Lighthouse. I stiil  believe it is The best place in St Ives. The views are ever changing - sun/rain/fog/storms but beautiful throughout. We saw seals and Blue Fin Tuna in the seas. It's so relaxing here, we buy takeaways to enjoy evenings of sea views whilst eating, and spend our days walking, sea-glass collecting and  just soaking up the atmosphere"

A, P and F - October 2022


"The end of our two week holiday. Such amazing views - saw many seals bobbing about"

C and T - October 2022


"First stayed at Crab Rock in 1966. Much has changed in the building, not least the creation of The Lighthouse - simply the best! What has not changed is the magnificent location and views and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below at high tide. Weather kind this week and we both swam every day. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you"

M and C - September 2022


"We have had another great week at our "Home from Home". The weather not kind all the time but we managed to get out and about anyway. Hope your next guests enjoy as much as us. We'll be back in May '23"

The most stylish, quirky house with views of St Ives from eveywhere, even in the shower :) We have stayed here for many years and are so happy that the new owners  have kept it as it always has been. Booked again July 2023! See you then! PS Love the binoculars!"
