Sparrows Nest Reviews

Very luxurious property, but some aspects preferred style and technology over practicality. Lack of bath mats, and vinyl flooring often led to slippy bathrooms, complex lighting and sound systems led to hours reading manuals to get things to work. In saying the above facilities and views more than compensate.
Absolutely beautiful property, would 100 book again. The view over the bay is stunning and the hot tub kept the children entertained. We were very sad to leave.
Had the most wonderful stay at the Sparrows Nest. The house had everything we needed and more. Special mention to the hot tub and the terrace with the beautiful view. Also loved the theatre room and the speakers from the ceilings. Would 100 come again! Thank you!
A wonderful large house for an extended family group. The spacious bedrooms are set over three floors, so our group all had their own level.The roof terrace is amazing, especially if you are blessed with good weather. Wonderful facilities in the house a and huge garden with squirrels...the children loved it. Everything very positive, except poor WiFi and very hot bedrooms on the ground floor and first floor superking...we would bring electric fans if we came back again.
Magic venue, thought of everything. relaxing week, thank you.
The T's
We've had a lovely fortnight in this beautiful location and house. Perfect for a big family group. The sun loungers are the most comfortable ever! Wish we had another week!
Michael
Beautiful property in an ideal location. The roof terrace for us was a massive bonus. With stunning views.
The Sparrows Nest is a little piece of Heaven! We had the best stay here. There's almost no need to leave the house. From relaxing in the hot tub to sunbathing on the terrace to enjoying some delicious barbecues. I'd come back in a heartbeat. Thank you!

An excellent holiday house for a big family. Three generations were celebrating a significant birthday. Lots of safe outside space for the wee ones to run around. Inside had every facility, you could possibly need with kitchen and eating areas superbly fitted out. The wrap around balconies and top level outside sitting area have superb views over Carbis Bay. The bedrooms and beds in particular were very comfortable. Lots of clear instructions for all the new high spec equipment.
Tracey

Beautiful property! Has everything you could need. Kitchen well equipped and loved the open plan space. Plenty of bedrooms with great views of the sea. Lovely hot tub in the garden. Building work ongoing near the property, but was not disruptive. Short walk to the nearest beach, great not having to get into a car. Would definitely stay here again!

What an amazing holiday! Sparrows nest, despite its sleek, modern design, never failed to feel warm and cosy absolutely perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach or walking around St Ives. Snacks and a few cheeky drinks up on the terrace is unmatched, the spectacular view at sunset being a must whether it's the hot tub, the BBQ or the fire pit, Sparrows Nest has something for all of the family to enjoy and I hope whoever is reading this has an amazing stay as we have.

What a fabulous week! Sparrows Nest is an amazing house, beautifully furnished and very well equipped, both inside and out. Loved our cocktails in the hot tub! Just a 15minute walk to the beaches and into St Ives. Outside shower very helpful to rinse down the kids after surfing. Will have many happy memories of our stay. Thankyou!
