Amazing place and wonderful location. The views are the icing on the cake. Ideal location and surprisingly quiet given how central it is.

Thank you so much for our stay in your beautiful cottage. This was our second visit and we love it! The way you have presented the cottage with such relaxing seating and have made the most of all view points from the window is amazing. We have busy jobs in the NHS and healthcare and are able to really rest and relax when staying in your cottage. It is so spacious! Small details like the welcome pack and coffee machine are really appreciated and the beds are really comfortable.

This is truly one of the best holiday cottages in St Ives. The cottage has literally everything to make your stay wonderful. It’s fully stocked with games, films, books for those family nights in. The whole feel of the cottage is wonderful. There is so much space which is ideal for larger parties. The beds are so comfy and again plenty of space for your belongings. The owners have been incredible, loved our personal welcome sign when we arrived, such a lovely touch. I can honestly say if you want the best holiday possible in St Ives, look no further, this cottage is the best out there, it really made our holiday, and will
definitely be returning. The garage was literally a 3 min walk and was ideal as we went out most days. To know you have your own parking space each day just took out that worry and stress you would normally have to deal with trying to park. It has took us years to find the perfect holiday cottage, so pleased we’ve finally found it in Halfway cottage.

We had such a relaxing break in your beautiful cottage. We were attracted to the property because of the central location in St. Ives and prime views of the harbour but we didn't really appreciate until we got there how spacious and comfortable the house itself would be. The interior is so well thought out; plenty of different seating areas making the most of every view point, to the extent that sometimes it was difficult to choose where to relax! Really comfortable reclining sofas- it felt quite luxurious! Enjoyed the coffee machine too. Beds were also really comfortable. It was also really helpful to have good communication from you prior to and during our stay. Thanks again for providing such lovely accommodation. We're looking forward to returning next year.

Superb cottage in a great location,
Perfect view of the harbour and island with easy access off Fore street.
The cottage was truly light and spacious but would be great for a couple/s or large family.
We found the cottage to be immaculately clean and covid aware .
The added bonus of a car parking space just a lovely stroll up the Digey a massive plus, a genuine secure space you can easily get in and out of, the best we've had in st Ives.
The owners were very helpful and informative always on hand but not intrusive, perfect.
We would love to stay again.

We had a fabulous week’s holiday in St Ives. It’s the second time staying at Halfway Cottage and we’d definitely return again. Perfect location, great facilities and wonderful views of the sunrise and sunset over the harbour.

Home from home comforts and fantastic views, shops literally on the doorstep for convenience. Had a fantastic 6 days & weather was good. Excellent communication with David & Michelle the owners, even text us earlier than the access time to say that the Cottage was ready!

The cottage was very well stocked and the beds were so comfortable 😴 David was a very responsive host and we honestly felt like everything we needed was available to us. We can’t wait to come again.. Thank you so much !! x
We stayed at Halfway cottage for a week in May, the cottage is in the perfect location, it was lovely and clean and had everything you would need. It was lovely to sit out on the balcony in the mornings with a coffee watching the sun rise. We will definitely stay again. Thank you 😊
Stayed here in July 2022 what can i say.The cottage was really good, plenty of space, spotlessly clean and perfect location. Hassle free booking and quick response to any queries. Definitely stay here again. Wish i owned it myself haha. Thanks again. 👍 5*
We stayed here in October & would highly recommend! Behind the little door 'halfway' along Fore Street you will find a real treasure of a cottage. The views upstairs are spectacular and the place was so comfortable and spotless. Everything you could need & more for a lovely trip to St Ives A real home from home! Thank you for having us!!

Previously stayed here many years ago as we have been st Ives many times and this place was fantastic then my nan recently booked and it was incredible to see how much it changed and was even better great value location and everything you want with the owners making my grandparents feel extremely welcome highly recommend if looking for a place to stay round here
We just spent a week at Halfway Cottage and it was perfect, exactly as described on the website. The cottage was in a perfect central location with panoramic views and it was close to the beaches, restaurants, shops and there was a lovely deli on the doorstep. The cottage was spacious, comfortable and very clean. We couldn't have asked for more they had thought of everything to make it a home from home. Little extras like the coffee machine, putting milk in the fridge, and everyday kitchen items left for us to use was fantastic. There were games, books, binoculars and a telescope we made use of. The balcony and furniture made it a perfect place to sit out on to take in the views. We couldn't have asked for more It was a perfect. Just sorry we had to leave.
Quite literally the definition of perfection (in my own opinion of course). From the moment you put your luggage away and sit down and look over the harbour you just feel so relaxed. Whether it’s sunshine or rain, the atmosphere in Halfway Cottage puts you at ease.It’s a spacious and very comfortable stay and I would highly recommend staying here.The amount of fantastic restaurants around means that sometimes you’ll have too much choice but that’s never a bad thing! Try them all!One bonus to this property is the private parking. During summer it’s very difficult to park anywhere in St.Ives so having a private space proves very beneficial!Cannot wait to stay again.
