Overview

With its elegant decor, tasteful furnishings and sea views, 3 Porthminster Mews creates a wonderful retreat for friends and family in St Ives Bay. Set over two floors, the open plan living/cooking and entertainment area is upstairs, while two en-suite bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master bedroom is furnished with a super king size bed and has sliding doors opening to a Juliet balcony that overlooks the sea. The second bedroom has zip and lock twin beds to offer versatility to families with children of all ages, as well as couples and friends. Light and airy, the living room has its own Juliet balcony, and two comfy sofas from which to enjoy the view. The kitchen includes an island which doubles as a breakfast bar, and there’s a furnished courtyard outside for fresh-air dining.

Located on The Terrace, the property is just a two-minute walk from the heart of St Ives and closer still to the Blue Flag Porthminster Beach and its award-winning café. For those who enjoy a walk, the South West Coast Path from Porthminster Beach to Porthminster Point and on to Carbis Bay, is a must. Guests who fancy a treat have the Harbour Hotel and Spa on the doorstep which offers a range of facilities that include an indoor pool, treatment rooms and a restaurant/bar with outdoor terrace.

Welcome to St Ives

There’s something special about holidays in St Ives and we just can’t quite put our fingers on it. It could be the beautiful light that’s attracted artists to the resort for generations, the cobbled streets and coastal views…or that feeling of being a world away from the hustle and bustle. Whatever it is, St Ives has a charm that’s unlike any other, and we’d recommend it at any time of year.

Overall Rating - 4.2

Mostly excellent, a few small niggles
4.2/5

The apartment location and general design is really excellent, and luxurious in almost every regard. There are more than adequate facilities for a family of 4. Check in was simple via a lock box. Parking adequate - a little tight if you have a larger car, but still doable. We found the beds and sofas very comfy. Useful outside space at the rear, however we weren't able to use it (or even have the door open) on weekdays due to the extremely noisy pile-driving going on next door. Gorgeous views from both the main living space and the master bedroom. 2 great bathrooms, as well as a separate W.C. Couldn't get the dryer to work, so plan time for hanging clothes drying if you do laundry when away. Couple of safety issues: 1. There was a stair gate of the incorrect type fitted to the top of the stairs. Stair gates fitted at the top of the stairs must not have a bottom bar as they can lead to severe falls down the staircase. We removed it and did not refit it. The owners MUST fit one of the correct type if they wish to have this safety feature in the apartment and indeed, if they are serious in trying to prevent children from having accidents on the stairs, they should fit one to the bottom of the stairwell too (one with a bottom bar is fine in this application). 2. The shower screen in the master bathroom is coming away from the wall on the topmost screw, thus is not fitting correctly and is causing water to leak heavily onto the floor. I worried about it failing completely so was cautious about anyone using the bathroom, particularly my young child. The screen is very heavy and would likely cause an amputation if if fell on a limb or foot, plus it's causing unnecessary water damage. (I am not the first reviewer to mention this). All in all, a lovely, mostly well-appointed apartment in a good location, not quite presented at it's absolute best.

4.2/5

In general we thought the apartment was lovely but was let down by a couple of areas, The outside table could have been wiped over. Moved the curtains, which looked grubby and there was a mass of cobwebs between curtain and window. The shower leaked so after every shower you had to mop the floor. Dishwasher not emptied. We did enjoy our stay and were comfortable in the apartment. The views from the apartment are great and lovely sitting there looking out into the bay.

Nick, 05 May 2026

Hi Nick, Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear that you thought the apartment was lovely, you enjoyed your stay and you were comfortable! We do agree, the views are beautiful. In regards to your feedback regarding the curtains and shower, we will get this looked into as soon as possible. We do apologise that the outside table should have been wiped over and the dishwasher should have been emptied, we will pass this onto the housekeeping team. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

A beautiful accommodation
4.7/5

Every room in the mews is absolutely stunning. Very spacious. A very well equipped kitchen and to sit looking out over the beach with the doors open was just amazing. Its an easy walk to St Ives town centre yet out of the hustle bustle We used the bar over the road at the Harbour Hotel for early evening drinks. The staff there were lovely and very accommodating. The Mews is ideally located opposite the beach for an early morning dip! and opposite the Railway Station, so we jumped on the train to Penzance to do some nice walks from there. Its also well located for the coastal path. And the walk to Carbis Bay is lovely. All in all we had a fabulous stay. We definitely will be back and Id recommend this property in a heartbeat.

Very noisy but a nice place
4.3/5

We found it very very noisy when we had the windows open but the accommodation was exactly as described and had all we needed for our stay. It was very clean and well appointed. It was a bit more of a walk into the town centre than wed anticipated and as someone with problems with mobility and distance we had to work around that. We love st Ives and had a very enjoyable stay nonetheless

christine, 08 Mar 2024

Hi Christine, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are glad to hear you found the property to be as described and it had everything you needed for your stay.

Great location
4.2/5

Lovely property. Great location in January. Not sure we would stay there on summer as between the 2 main roads into st Ives. Few niggly things - outside light and kitchen clock didnt work. You cant put a plug in sinks in bathrooms so constantly waste water. Settees very low. Found empty food packets in cupboard and strange green ice cubes! Lovely apartment though and would stay there again but out of season.

Jonathan, 02 Feb 2024

Hi Jonathan, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are pleased to hear you liked the apartment and we would look forward to welcoming you back again. Thank you too for bringing these things to our attention, we have forwarded them to the local contact for them to rectify. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team.

Great location
4.2/5

Great location in St Ives, fabulous views of the beach and sea. Accommodation was good but tired in places. Noisy main road - especially early morning. Spa passes and hotel discount was a welcome addition. Good customer experience. Nearly 5* - just a few tweaks and updates needed.

Lee, 05 Aug 2023

Hi Lee, thanks for leaving a review. We take great pride in our customer service so thank you for noticing. Your feedback has been passed on to the property owners to make improvements. Best Wishes, Luxury Coastal

Great views but very noisy
3.3/5

Lovely sea view from the living room and master bedroom windows. The apartment is located between two busy roads though, so it is extremely noisy especially when you have the windows open. This was mentioned prior to booking though; but we just didnt expect the noise to be quite so bad. Its probably ok if youre a couple staying at this property, but not ideal if you have a small child who is sensitive to noise. Youre also directly opposite the harbour hotel terrace and bar, so it can get noisy with people talking/shouting/music being played until about midnight. The apartment in general was actually quite dirty. Sticky stair rails, dirty pots and pans, clumps of dust in bathroom, brown water stains on bathroom walls/doors, brown stains on bedside tables. There was a food clip on the window sill by the kitchen sink which had spider webs all around it - so clearly it has not been moved for quite some time. There were also old fruit in the fruit bowl and old cartons of milk and food in the fridge which I assume was from the previous occupants. The bed was not comfortable at all. It was two beds joined together to make one king bed. I could also feel every single spring digging into my body. It was a miserable week as I was tired and could not get any decent sleep - combination of uncomfortable bed and also my toddler not being able to sleep due to the noise. The location is convenient, very close to town and actually not too bad a walk with a toddler and being heavily pregnant as well. Having a parking space was convenient, however you have to be careful if you have a car thats very low to the ground because you might end up scraping the underside as you join the main road.

Guest, 15 Jul 2023

Hi Tina, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry that the location of the property was noisy for you, we do make it quite clear that this property is in a busy area. The beds you are referring to are zip and links, they are designed to be a king size bed that zips apart in the middle to create single beds if needed. We will be discussing the cleanliness issues with housekeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again, please accept our apologies and know we will be addressing this. Best Wishes, Luxury Coastal.

First visit to St Ives
4.3/5

Very nice accommodation in a great location with only one moan , that the property is situated on a busy road front and back , tit does offer the use of the facilities in the Harbour Hotel opposite . We have stayed in several holiday rentals , the letting company left a welcome pack of a pint of milk In the fridge which went off in a couple of days which maybe that the fridge is not working properly .

Neil, 26 May 2023

Hello Neil, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed both the property and its great location, we understand road traffic can be annoying however with the location being so ideal it makes up for it! We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Luxury Coastal.

An enjoyable stay
3.2/5

We spent 10 days here and had an enjoyable stay. We enjoyed having access to the swimming pool for the kids and it was a short walk to the beach and 10-15min walk into St Ives centre. Unfortunately there were a few things that didnt go so well. We asked for early check in and the manager didnt get back to us. We also had an issue with the fridge not working properly and we had no response after the initial response from the manager. There was dog hair on the floors and the apartment was close to a reasonably busy road. Despite some negatives we would probably stay again and recommend.
