"A gorgeous, relaxing place to stay with fabulous light and amazing views over the bay. Everything about the house was high quality, including the decor, furniture, fittings and accessories. All rooms and bathrooms were of a generous size and easily accommodate a party of ten. Close proximity to both Carbis Bay and St Ives makes this a great location. Would definitely recommend Salt House as a fabulous holiday venue!"
Rachel Hutchinson
"We couldn’t have asked for more at Salt House. This house and the location exceeded our expectations and we would all most certainly go back again. A dream property that I would love to own myself! The only reason we didn’t score a perfect 5 stars is that there were a few minor problems with malfunctioning TVs, media, bulbs and hot water on day 1. They could have been checked during changeover. However, the housekeeper and other staff were very friendly and sorted most of the problems out while we were there. Otherwise it was just the most idyllic holiday."
Daniel O’Hara
