Leave ReviewGreat stay, perfect location
By Daniel on 10-Jun-2025Great stay, perfect location, ideal for a family trip away-stayed for 5 nights in total. Short, 5 minute drive into St Ives and close to lots of beautiful places in Cornwall for day trips. Would highly recommend
Great place to stay with a family
By Penelope Hunt on 25-Aug-2024The Old Chapel is a great place to stay with a family. The owners have thought of literally everything you could need while you are there and it's all good quality equipment. The location is excellent, it's a lovely walk into St Ives or Carbis Bay. Parking is great no need to use your car s there is a local bus just outside which takes you directly into St Ives. The use of the facilities at Polmanter Touring Park is the icing on the cake. Our granddaughters loved it there, so much for them to do and a good shop and restaurant also. I would highly recommend this accommodation it's a great base for a multi-generational holiday.
St Ives Stay
By Bhavna on 27-Mar-2023The house was perfect, all the rooms were spacious, great having 3 en-suites. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. All the locations we visited were easy to reach. Highly recommend the place!
Lovely Quiet Accommodation for Family and/or Friends
By Steve Plant on 04-Oct-2020We have just stayed at the Old Chapel (26/09/20 to 03/09/20) and this was our fourth visit. The house is great for families and friends, having four bedrooms and 4 shower / bathrooms (3 of which are en-suite). There is parking within the rear gate for 2 cars, with space outside for at least one more and the property allows dogs. During the holiday season the house comes with access to the Polmanter touring park, which has an outdoor swimming pool and bar / restaurant, and a regular bus service to St Ives. However, we prefer to walk using the back lanes to either St Ives or alternatively Carbis Bay, subsequently walking to St Ives via the coastal path. There are also numerous taxis which cost around £5 (which is cheaper than the bus for 4+ people). As allways the house was immaculate and is well equipped with good quality fixtures and fittings and comfortable beds. Sensible additional measures were deployed to make our stay “COVID secure”. We would have no hesitation recommending the Old Chapel, or returning ourselves (as evidenced by this being our fourth stay
Fantastic Home from Home, great location
By Charlotte R on 25-Oct-2021We stayed for a week in September, 6 adults, a 3 year old, 6 month old and our labrador, everyone loved the house! Real home from home, everything has been thought of, plenty of space and well maintained, even better than the photos. Anything you might need was provided, even though we took a lot of our own baby equipment there was a cot, baby bath, monitors, steraliser, changing mat, high chair etc, lots of dinnerware, glassware, kitchen equipment and a washing machine. The garden could be made fully enclosed by closed gates at both ends, great for kids and the dog. Access to the heated pool and playground at the holiday park next door was a good bonus, and the bus to/from St Ives which is 50m from the house is very handy. You can walk to St Ives in approx 30 minutes and to Carbis Bay in 45 minutes, not pram friendly walks however we took the our baby carrier so wasn't a problem. Rachel the owner was very responsive and in communication with us before and whilst there. We will definitely return here!
Family Stay
By S Johnson on 04-Jun-2017Beautiful house in a great location! 4 great sized bedrooms, 3 with an ensuite and and then a family bathroom. Kitchen / dining and living room all open plan which is great for socialising. We also took our 2 small dogs and they loved it. the Garden is perfect for kids and dogs and the shed had plenty of fun toys for the kids to play with. You can also use the polmanter touring park facilities and bus service which was ideal. The touring park has a little shop, dog excercising area, pub, park, pool and soft play centre! You could also walk into st. Ives which only took us about 30mins. I love this place and would definitely come back! Great holiday.
