Rural and tranquil, this detached cottage is beautifully furnished and decorated to make an attractive home from home.

Entering this single-storey accommodation, you immediately feel relaxed and at ease. The front door leads through to the stunning open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a fantastically airy and light space thanks to the high ceilings, large windows and French doors. The lounge has beautiful soft furnishings, a Smart TV with Netflix/Sky package, DVD, iPod dock and beautiful wood burner, and the lovely dining table is big enough to seat six. The fitted kitchen is comprised of an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine and tumble dryer. Through to the bedrooms, the first of which has a king size bed, and has French doors leading out to the garden. The second bedroom has 2’6” twin zip-and-link beds, which can be made into a king by prior arrangement. The shower room is beautifully fitted with a large walk-in shower and WC. 

Outside the property benefits from a private enclosed garden, featuring a decked area with garden furniture and BBQ, and a pretty ornamental pond (children must be supervised around this area). The property is accessed via an unmade lane, which is uneven in places.

Ideally located just outside St Ives where there are independent shops aplenty. Several stunning beaches close by - Carbis Bay, Port kidney and Porthmeor. A delight for dog Read morewalkers.

The cottage is faultless inside and it has the most beautiful secluded gardens, This is our second year visiting. The cottage has everything you could wish for and more. It is a real home from home. We adored the pond and the barbecue in the gardens. Despite being very close to Carbis Bay you feel so away from it all.

We had a lovely stay as a family at Rivington. It was a lovely cottage with everything provided for a week away from home. We enjoyed the private outside space and my sons loved to feed the fish each day. The location was great for visits to carbis bay and St Ives and kept our fitness levels up on the uphill sections. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekRead more and could quite happily have stayed longer. Our thanks to the owner and welcome wine and biscuits was a lovely touch. Hide

Comfortable, well equipped and cosy cottage. Had everything we needed. It is in a residential location, but feels secluded. Carbis bay beach beautiful, but only made it there once as the journey on foot is almost vertical! Some buses to St ives which has lots of amenities... would recommend.

A perfect cottage for a family holiday with a two and a five year old. It is a really relaxing place to be and our boys loved feeding the fish in the pond in the garden. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped with a good sized fridge and freezer section. The washing machine with drying racks were also really useful! We will be back Im sure!
