About Clare Hughes
Clare & Neil are joint owners of Sam's Place and Andy's Place, 13 Park Avenue, St Ives. We moved to Cornwall from Bradford in 2008. Clare was already running her successful interior design company, CH Design, and decided to continue the business in Cornwall. It was with these skills that she and Neil undertook the full refurbishment of 13 Park Avenue, in preparation for letting the apartments out for holiday use. "It was in 2009 that we began to let the apartments. We love Cornwall, and know we've made the right decision in moving here...and of course we are continually meeting new people through our business, with many becoming good friends as they return to our apartments year after year".
Why Clare Hughes chose St Ives
The main reasons for purchasing 13 Park Avenue, aside from it being in the wonderful location of St Ives, was for the spectacular view out over the pretty harbour and town.
It is conveniently situated just on the edge of the town, which means we get the best of both worlds: we are just 5 minutes walk form the town centre, but also in a more quiet residential area. This is ideal for families and groups who may love the hustle and bustle of the town and beaches during the daytime, but want a more peaceful quiet place to escape back to for relaxation later.
What makes this apartment unique
Sam's Place has the additional benefit of a back garden, which gets sunshine throughout most of the day and is a really peaceful sun trap. The late evening sunshine reaches the upper terrace of the garden during the summer months, which is fantastic for BBQs.
Andy's Place has a small front garden that also benefits from late afternoon & evening sunshine. It's lovely to sit and dream, with that evening drink in hand, just soaking in the lovely view.

Wonderful
Andy’s Place is a great place to stay in St. Ives. The owners of the flat have furnished it very tastefully and everything is of high quality. The rooms are immaculate, the ceilings are high, the artwork is excellent, and you get the feeling that attention has been paid to every detail to ensure your comfort and happiness - which you get!
Mixture of good and bad
First thing I noticed was an overpowering smell of damp when I opened the front door. Very unpromising. The lounge was furnished with tired, dull furniture but did have a great view from the bay window. The fireplace was empty and although it was supposed to be usable, no firelighters or wood was provided. The room was not warm, cosy or inviting.
By contrast the main bedroom was lovely, light, nicely furnished and decorated, with a wonderful comfortable bed and good linen.
I would have been very dubious about putting children in the second bedroom, more like a large cupboard, which was OK for storage but very Spartan for sleeping in.
The kitchen was OK but cold and not particularly well equipped, with cracked mugs and mean supplies of cloths etc.
The bathroom was damp and the floor was freezing, but it was well equipped with everything needed.
Overall I was disappointed with the standard of the accommodation, but it's great view was one of the good points.
Probably OK in the summer but chilly and unwelcoming in October unfortunately.
Great flat and awesome location with amazing views!
Flat was brilliant. Clean and tidy abc everything you could need. Only down side was the bed was a bit hard and not very comfortable.
Very comfortable, well equipped flat which has a stunning view of St Ives harbour.
We were extremely lucky to have glorious weather and so made the best of the stunning beaches in this area as well as enjoying all that the town and local area has to offer. The accommodation was clean and well maintained and everything we needed. St Ives boasts many fantastic restaurants so it was just as well that we got lots of exercise walking. We will be back.
Great stay
Another great stay with 1st week in Sam's flat and 2nd week in Andy's flat. Perfect location and Clare and Neil are so helpful. Can also highly recommend Polly (who lives in the top flat of the house) as a baby sitter - she was wonderful looking after our little boy so we could get a very unexpected night out!
Good location and met our high expectations
Started by getting absolutely soaked - should have preordered a taxi from the station. Otherwise we loved St Ives going down in the morning and returning in the evening on each of our 3 days.
Location

The train from St Ives to Lelant hugs the coastline and well worth a trip
