DOTTIES COTTAGE
Sehr schönes Cottage mit allem, was man braucht in ruhiger Stadtlage. In einer Minute am Hafen, in 2 Minuten am Strand. Wunderschöne Landschaft. Baden, shoppen, wandern... Alles ohne Auto möglich. Mit Auto wunderschöne Strände, Land's End und vieles mehr erreichbar. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, alles Notwendige und etwas mehr ist vorhanden. Saubere Bettwäsche und Handtücher, sowie Austausch nach einer Woche - perfekt!

Smaller than it looks
Amazing location to porthmoer and town. I think more detail is needed on the location as ive not long had surgery on both knees which caused massive discomfort getging up the steep hill to carpark. the cottage is alot smaller than it looks. Dissapointed in the poor quality bathroom. Very scruffy and extremely small. The sofa is very dirty and stained which spoilt the cute cottage look of the lounge. The courtyard was a no go area due overgrown bushes and poor furniture. We had a lovely time but we wont stay it this particular property again.

Quaint cottage in great position but tired decor and needs a good clean!
Good communication with owner prior to arrival however no real communication once we arrived. Upon arrival, the decor was rather tired and tatty which was a shame but not the end of the day. The most disappointing thing was that the cottage had not been cleaned throughly. Floors and handrails were filthy. Sofa was stained. Bath plug was full of hair. There was bindweed growing through into the kids bedroom through the wall. The patio area had not been tended for a long time and there was a rotten rocking chair with a pile of dead weeds left on it! Arnie’s studio smelt very damp so we didn’t use it for the whole of the stay. It’s such a shame as the location is great and the building itself has so much potential!

Location, location, location
Excellent, almost idyllic, location. A beautiful listed property with separate suite ideal for a couple of older child. Owner was responsive via the Vrbo app, answering questions fairly promptly. We did find that the outsourced cleaning was not very well done, with an old sock and a used towel down the side of one of the beds, but otherwise, the property is in excellent condition. Really good facilities in the kitchen, but fridge is unsurprisingly small, yet perfectly manageable if shopping every other day or eating out.

Fantastic
Absolutely amazing stay. I knew the general area of the property from pre-research so found it in no time at all. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, but it is a very central and convenient location for St Ives. Property is straight out of a postcard, traditional and quirky due to its age. Fully equipped kitchen and bright fresh bedrooms. Use of the small garden area upstairs was beautiful - so many bumble bees and flowers! We met Sarah next door within minutes of arriving, she was lovely and helped us with information - she showed us the downstairs apartment which we didn’t realise we could use! Amazing! 2 of us stayed and we had more than enough room, we feel this was a bargain given location and facilities. We absolutely want to stay again ASAP. Thank you Vicki!

Holiday in St Ives
Wonderful holiday in St Ives staying at the cottage which was right in the centre of town. The main accommodation had everything we needed and our teenagers enjoyed their own space in the studio. The next door neighbour, who I think works with the owner, was on hand to offer help, advice and tips on the local area, travel, restaurants etc. We will definitely be back in St Ives. ☀️

Dotties and Arnies
Good location to access beaches, harbour and town. Quiet street with friendly neighbour. We had the whole property and found entrance to Arnies is shared access with flat next door and very compact. Could do with a refresh in both properties but suited our family visi on this occasion.

Lovely house, great location! I'd read all reviews and understood the quirksof this being an older property. We did wonder if dehumidifiers would help in the downstairs flat though to combat the damp smell? Noting that, would be happy to stay again!

Loved the cottage and location though as we arrived in the dark it took us two hours to find it. For the first night did not realise we had two areas. It has rained every day but we have had a most enjoyable week and would return. We met the neighbour she was lovely as well. Thank you.

Cosy Cottage
We had a fabulous holiday in Dottie's cottage & Arnies studio...the weather was only bad on one day, this didn't bother us as the church had a violin concert on plus loads to do as it was the September Festival. One thing as others have mentioned Arnies studio has an over whelming smell of damp. This gets into clothing & luggage...so maybe pack some febreze!....The lady next door is lovely & said should we need anything to give her a knock....lovely friendly street right on the harbour.....we will certainly book again...highly recommended......thank you Vicki your communication is marvellous :)

The only problem...
It’s a lovely place...all you need to know is that it is a little hard to get to... the walk down from the carpark is quite steep and that the internet/cellphone reception is temperamental... the front of the House close to the entry door will be the best spot to catch the internet😂 The owner was great communicating with us... and when we asked for a French press so we could enjoy a cup of coffee it was provided the very next day...thank you🙏

What can i say, Dotties Cottage was so beautiful snug and evetyhig you need amenities wise.
We booked to stay at Dotties Cottage From Friday 2nd May to Monday 6th 2019. The accommodation was everything it described and even came with welcome Milk coffee, tea and biscuits which were delicious. The cottage was very cute and snug and big enough for our Family of 4. My mother also came with us and stayed in Arnies studio below this was also fantastic and came with its own amenities, the only 1 thing I would say is Arnies Studio could do with a little Mini Fridge so you can have some milk and butter for a coffee or toast when not in the main cottage. The children absolutely loved this cottage and want to come again the outside area is such a added bonus we managed to sit outside and have tea and cake in the sunshine, and the children played out their for ages. I would defiantly recommend to stay here and the location is so perfect and close to everything. I will be booking again for next year. Loved it.

We have enjoyed a wonderful Easter week at Dotties Cottage and Arnie's Studio. We stayed five people with our pet, a Golden Retriever. The house is cosy, well preserved, fully equipped and well located in the fishing district of St Ives. The climate was very variable; the first few days, rainy and cold, became hot and sunny at the end of the week. Electric heating was enough to heat the house, studio included. The last days we could enjoy the garden on the terrace full of bells and green plants. I would suggest reading the other reviews from a positive point of view because they are useful. The shower in Arnie's studio worked very well. In our case, the sheets and towels were clean and white. Parking was not always easy, but we found that there used to be free space at St Ives RFC, not far from the cottage. I highly recommend Dotties Cottage and Arnie's Studie if you want to enjoy a quiet family holiday in a town full of character such as St Ives. Thank you very much, Vicky!

Perfect location
Great location in centre of town. Pretty cottage nicely decorated. Let down by tiny fridge and the most ridiculous hot water system which in desperate need of a pump. Bedding in need of replacement, pillows have indiacribable stains and no protectors! But a lovely comfortable stay and thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful and unique St Ives.

Dear Liam Thank you for your review. I’ sorry to hear that the pillows were marked. It is always our intention to provide top standards. They have now been replaced along with pillow protectors and my house keeper has been made aware. Regarding the hot water; is it just the bath that caused an issue? Unfortunately we do struggle with this due to supplies to such an old property however sinks and showers are usually always good. I hope you were still able to enjoy your week. Best wishes Vicki

Great location in authentic Cornish home
We just loved St Ives and Cornwall more generally. This cottage is in a wonderful location , though a little hard to find for new-comers with our GPS , but once we found it , we just loved the location, just a minute's walk to everything. Really lovely kitchen.

A lovely cottage
Dottie’s Cottage is a great place to stay in St Ives, a great location near to everthing but very quiet. The only negative thing was the parking, we had to get all of our luggage from Barnoon car park down a steep cobbled stone hill, so Cottage may not be suitable for elderly or disabled guests. The cottage was very quaint with a well equipped kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hi Jill Thanks for your review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay. In future you would be able to park and drop your bags at the bottom of Virgin Street outside Cath Kidston to avoid the walk down the hill from Barnoon. The town is accessed really easily this way too. We’re really glad you enjoyed it and we’d love you to stay again. Best wishes Vicki

Dottie's cottage,cosy and in the perfect location.
Cosy cottage but with some issues. I am not one for complaining but, feel that these points should be brought to attention! Unfortunately, the hot water supply to the bathroom was not really adequate. A trickle of water from the hot tap to the basin, and only slightly more to the bath. However, I did manage to set the electric shower to deliver a reasonable amount at a reasonable temperature. There is an awful smell from sewage waste, which to be fair, I think is actually coming from the next door property (no 21). The bedrooms would benefit from some bedside lamps, and our duvet cover in the front bedroom had some dried blood stains on the outside. I feel if these issues are addressed then Dotties's cottage could be a lovely relaxing place to stay. Its location was perfect for exploring St.Ives.

Dear William I’m sorry that you had a few issues throughout your stay. We really wish you had contacted us to enable us to resolve these. We aim to provide great service and any unsuitable linen would have been replaced had we been aware. I’m afraid any issues with smell outside of the property are outside of our control but certainly are not a regular occurrence.We are working to address the water pressure but as you are aware the shower works very well. Unfortunately the houses and services which have stood for hundreds of years were not designed for today’s demands. We really wish you had got in touch directly during you stay so we could help resolve these issues as we try to give all our guests a great stay.

Small and sweet house in a lovely location
Overall our stay was lovely! The house is a little awkward to get to for unloading/loading, but that might be less of a concern over a long stay, we were only there for a weekend. As others have mentioned, the hot water pressure in the only bathroom (in the main house) is really poor, but the shower is very good. The towels are stained, but cleaned. My guess is the host does these themselves, rather than using a cleaning service. The welcome hamper was lovely and had everything we needed for washing up etc, which is always useful. There wasn't a coffee machine which the description on here suggested, but we didn't need it. There were 4 of us sharing the main house and it was comfortable, 6 might be a bit of a squeeze, especially with only one bathroom! The extra studio is a real bonus, though! My only gripe is the internet. I specifically booked somewhere with wi-fi as I needed to finish some work the first day we arrived, unfortunately the house does not have it's own wi-fi. The owner has been kind enough to share her BT WiFi password in order to use the BT WiFi with FON infrastructure, however the signal was too weak to stay connected most of the time. You can access it upstairs, with reasonable success, but not from the living/dining/kitchen room. All in all, I'd stay here again, but I'd bring a WiFi repeater with me to amplify the signal.

Dear David Thanks for your review. You’re feedback is very important and we take it all very seriously. I’m sorry to hear you had difficulty with the internet and some linen was stained. We aim to provide excellent standards so if you had contacted us with these difficulties we would have done our best to address them. We have always experienced reliable Internet connection in the living/ dining area and linen should always been spotless. I’m glad that your stay was positive overall but sorry that we’re weren't aware of this issues to enable us to resolve them this time. We wish all our guests the very best of stays.

Couldn't be better located
This property is literally as close to the sea as you can get right in the centre of the town but tucked just away so you don't get any noise from the shops or pub's. For a family visiting it's literally perfect with parking just at the top of the hill which made getting suitcases and buggies to and from the property relatively hassle free. Not the most spacious property but more than made up for it with the location.

Great location for town and close to Barnoon carpark.
Dotties cottage is beautiful! Proper little character cottage! Has such a lovely feel to it ❤ Vicki, the owner, has been fab communication wise. Arnie's studio is a great little addition onto it if you need the space! Yes, it smells damp in there but I'm fairly sure that when these fisherman's cottages were built over 200 years ago, damp proof coursing wasn't top of their agenda so for us it just added to the character. Not sure if the management company/cleaning company are taking the mick out of Vicki a bit - there were a few bits I looked at, having been in the trade myself for many years, that they need to do properly for this gorgeous little house (there were head hairs on the lampshade in the lounge and the welcome folder had leaflets in advertising 2016 and there were only towels for 3 in the actual cottage, not 5). Like I say though, this is the company being paid to do a job and not the owner herself - she couldn't do enough for us! Overall though, as much as I noticed these things, they really didn't impact negatively on our holiday. We'd taken our own towels and there's plenty of outlets where leaflets etc are available. The welcome pack of tea bags, sugar, biscuits etc was VERY WELCOME! Great little touch! The location is fab, so close to everything (literally minutes walks) and far enough at the same time to not get harbour noise! Carparking at Barnoon was never an issue! We'd definitely book again here next time we are down :) thanks for a lovely week Vicki xx

Lovely cottage - fantastic location
Dotties Cottage and Arnies Studio were perfect for our stay in St Ives. We stayed in the cottage with our teenage son and our other son and his girlfriend stayed in the studio. We were able to holiday together but also have our privacy. The location couldn’t be better - just a few steps away from the shops/bars/restaurants and beach. The cottage itself was clean with comfortable beds. It had everything needed to make it a home from home (the WiFi was a real bonus). As previously stated, there was a damp smell in the studio but this was unavoidable and didn’t spoil our stay. We are hoping to stay again soon

Dotties Cottage is a Delight
We stayed at Dotties Cottage with our pet, What a find!! The Cottage was clean and tidy and just right for us. I know St Ives from when I was a very young lad and it has changed so much, but not to much if you get my meaning (Semi working harbour) It still has a very charming character about it and that is why I chose Dotties Cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back........ Thank you again Vicki for letting us stay..... Gary James London

The cottage was cosy, clean, and comfortable. It is in a brilliant location, in the centre town.
We found there was a lot to do in and near St Ives. All ages were catered for. The family had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful place to stay. The cottage was excellent. Our only slight gripe was that we would have found having a spare key very useful, as we were 5 adults and did not always go out together.
