“Lovely house in a fab location!”
We were a family of 5 (2 parents, 2 children and a grandparent). The house was suitable for all. Lots of space and the open plan worked better than I expected -we have family nearby and they were able to visit us.
Lots of films and games which we took advantage of due to back to back storms meaning we didn't get out as much as we had planned.
The sofas are soft for relaxing in the living area, but firmer in the conservatory if preferred, and the large dining table is great to seat everyone ...

The bathrooms were clean and had mini soaps etc. Showers good and bath amazing! The beds are all zip up which is in the description, so you do feel the join in the doubles. We all slept OK though.
Hot tub was a hit and used most days. The garden and parking are great features to the property as I'm informed there aren't many of either in the area.
At most a 10 minute walk to Porthmear beach one way or the town centre the other direction (a bit longer coming back up the hills!)
We are certainly considering returning.
A couple of tips if you do come here - follow signs to Tate St Ives from the A30 (it avoids the town center); book evening meals in advance; go to the surf school; visit St Ives bakery; walk around all the seafront and Harbour. Enjoy this wonderful part of the country!
Spernenwyn has everything you could need as a home from home. The only things we missed were oven gloves and a bottle brush to clean our reusable water bottles. One thing to note is if you have younger children all the external doors (5 around the property) can be opened from the inside.
