Review summary

Based on recent reviews

St. Ives Holiday Village is often praised for its woodland setting, offering a tranquil atmosphere where lodges are nestled among the trees, not far from St Ives town. Guests appreciate the spacious chalets and lodges, some featuring two bathrooms and decking. The fully equipped kitchens are a plus, and the clubhouse restaurant, particularly the steak, comes recommended; however, some guests have mentioned issues with cleanliness in their accommodations. A regular bus service from the park makes visiting St Ives convenient, and the indoor pool with a slide adds to the enjoyment.

dated swimming pool limited changing facilities

The location is a suitable base for exploring. A bus stops at the park giving convenient access to St Ives.

The swimming pool looked dated. It lacked cleanliness and the changing facilities were limited. The toilet lacked a door causing inconvenience.

really nice FAMILY getaway

spacious caravan great location private spacing comfy bed

the caravan was really spacious and had everything i needed. the location was great for visiting cornwall's end, it makes travel EASY. i liked the woodland setting, the spacing. the central heating was good and i enjoyed the comfy bed.

Car PARKING needs actual spaces. The narrow paths to units got blocked.

the bar did not offer cash back and the atm was out of service, both issues limit your spendings. the on-site shop had fair prices, especially considering its convenience during your stay, which makes it easier to buy food.

Adequate Stay at the Holiday Village

helpful staff woodland location well kept grounds unsafe path unwelcoming receptionist spider web

The staff were really helpful . I had some issues with my original hotel. The park is nicely situated within a woodland where the lodges are nestled between the trees. The lawns and grounds appear to be well looked after. This gave the whole place a nice feel.

There is no safe walking path to the train station so a bus is necessary. The receptionist was not that cute during check-in. Some of the information she mentioned was not accurate. There were too many spider webs outside near the door and windows. I also noticed many tiny spiders inside the house specifically in the toilet.

The chalet was clean. It was well equipped with everything I needed for a short stay. I appreciated the microwave, fridge, and freezer compartment. The TV, crockery, and cutlery were also helpful.

The silver lodge had issues. It smelled damp. Some furniture and the TV remote were broken.
