The perfect spot for a St Ives stay!
Bowling Green Terrace is a beautiful house and was absolutely perfect for our family’s stay in St Ives. The location was perfect for us as we are a family that likes to spend long days on the beach and both Porth Minster and Porth Meor beaches were just short walks away, 10 mintues and 5 minutes respectively. Of course there was a lot of up hill walking, which my mother in law didn’t find easy but this is only to be expected in St Ives. We were very lucky with the weather and didn’t see a cloud in the sky all week! This meant that we were able to really enjoy the outdoor decking area, we sat out and cooled down in the evenings. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, lots of memories made and already thinking about next year!

About the host

Hosted by Alison Battles

Host profile image
Hello – we are Ali and Kieran Battles. We live in Bristol with twins, Eleanor and Isaac. It was always our dream to own a holiday home in Cornwall and we hope you enjoy staying here as much as we fell in love with No.8 the first time we visited. We want you to feel at home and make the most of your holiday – if there’s anything you think we could do better or something you think would help make your holiday even more enjoyable then please let us know.

Why they chose this property

We have lots of families who come back to No.8 regularly. It's a great base to explore St Ives from, offering comfortable and stylish accommodation with a lovely sunny garden and wonderful views from the bedrooms. Close to everything, you can park your car once you've unloaded and you won't need it again until your departure day! Parking is included in a private space about 5 mins walk away. If you do want to explore beyond St Ives there are no worries about finding a parking space when you get back.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful views, a lovely light and airy home with stylish furnishings, lots of art, books, toys and games and a sunny garden - a real home from home.
