The Nook - Deluxe King

Great location for St Ives . Clean and meg expectations for 2 night stay Positive: Location great . Clean room . Negative: Fire doors were very loud so other guests movements disturbed our rest

Loved St Ives but would not stay at The Nook again, poor value, poor location, embarrassing. Positive: Perhaps we were unlucky? We had room 10. It was clean. The bed was OK and the bedding in suitable condition. The shared kitchen is well kitted out and was also clean. The other guests that we met were mainly Australian or New Zealanders and they were good company. Negative: Our room (ie room 10) was much too small. Our bathroom VERY small. Luckily we are not large because large people would struggle with the shower or the toilet. The bathroom tap handle fell off in first use. No loo roll holder as the room is too small. The rack in the bathroom is freestanding, holds almost nothing and falls over! The property is rather 'ramshackle' and room 10 is upstairs and down a narrow corridor and through fire doors. Not ideal with heavy suitcases. Unfortunately on our stay the electricians were fault finding and the carpets and floorboards were also 'up'. Many guests had no hot water and no TV. Room 10 did have hot water but the sink tap was just a trickle. The courtyard garden is unkept with broken furniture, litter and needs TLC to make it half suitable. The property can park about six average cars but has many more rooms plus Nook Two so the parking is NOT adequate.

Positive: On site parking Negative: Extremely small, bathroom and kitchen smelt

Lovely and clean room, great self catering and close to town. Positive: Ideal location close to town, kitchen was clean and modern, great for self catering. Room was lovely and clean, beds were big and comfy. Negative: Parking is first come first serve, but we managed to land a spot most days.

Good Negative: Hard to find the house at night , dark area, had to ask locals. Some extra signs with lights would be better
