We loved staying at Glasmor! Can't get enough of that view from the window and the balcony! Arrived to fresh bread, biscuits and butter etc, which was really appreciated and a lovely extra treat! The beds were comfy and loved waking up a cup of tea on the balcony with the sound of seagulls and the sea! So convenient having the underground parking and the beach so close! Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone visiting st ives!

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this property - one small issue that was dealt with right away and no fault of the property or management! The views are spectacular and the location was perfect. it was so lovely to sit by that big window and watch the sea, the surf, and surfers, and the sunset. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back again. Can't recommend highly enough.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Glas Mor. Beautiful property, equipped with everything we needed and furnished to a very high standard. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic views. Perfect for the 3 of us. Second bedroom with small en-suite was perfect for older child/teenager. Will be returning.

We found Glas Mor was such a fantastic place to stay in. It's very well equipped and is finished to a very high standard everywhere. It was immaculate as well when we arrived. The en-suite bedroom upstairs is such a good idea as well. From the planted balcony, lovely cotton bedding, fluffy towels to the very generous welcome gifts, all very much appreciated. The kitchen is lovely and what a view sat at the table to enjoy a morning coffee. With a parking space plenty big enough what more can I say, we definately want to come and stay in Glas Mor again and we would 100% recommend booking here.

What a great find!! From the moment we stepped inside it was obvious that this was a good choice for our stay in St. Ives. The views over the beach were outstanding. It is situated basically on the beach. Also close to all of the shops, restaurants, cafes and sights. We did not have to use the car, because everything was close by. The property had every convenience that you could want, including a washing machine, dishwasher, oven/microwave, coffee machine and Sonos speaker system. Also the welcome pack was a nice surprise - bread, butter, eggs, milk, coffee pods and tea bags. Car parking under the property was a boon, especially in St. Ives. All in all, a wonderful, relaxing stay.

Our favourite holiday home from the last 10 years of holidaying in St Ives! The location and views overlooking Porthmeor beach were stunning. The beach was literally our back garden for the week and we loved being able to quickly nip back up to the apartment for a spot of lunch and an ice cold drink from the fridge! Furnished to an incredibly high standard with all mod cons, we'd definitely stay here again. Parking with a big 4x4 was a little tight but we managed to get in and out several times without trouble.

We had a very nice stay at Glas Mor. The location is
fantastic - overlooking the beach, with wonderful views from both
the kitchen and the balcony off the living room. It's a five-minute
walk to the harbour, five minutes to the Tate St Ives, and there is
a parking spot in the same building. Make sure you check the
dimensions of your car though - it's a small space, so parking is a
bit fun :)
The flat itself is very nice. Every inch of space is used
well. There are two small double bedrooms, with a wardrobe in each.
One bedroom has a tiny ensuite shower room. The other is right next
to the main bathroom, with a large walk-in shower. The
kitchen/dining room is open plan and very well equipped. Everything
is brand new and high quality.
