St.Ives and The Organic Panda

The Organic Panda, surrounded by mature Cornish palms is an end of terrace 3 storey elegant Victorian house with panoramic views of St. Ives Bay and Godrevy Lighthouse. It is only 2 minutes walk to the award winning Porthminster Beach, and 5 minutes to the centre of St. Ives.

Spacious and light, with chunky reclaimed timber furniture and a vibrant in-house exhibition of original art. The perfect place to relax and unwind, suitable for family gatherings, wedding parties and special occasions. There is free wi-fi throughout the house. Welcome pack provided, please let us know your special requirements. There is also parking for two medium sized cars.

The open plan living and dining area has a comfy sofa, giant beanbag, 40” TV and Xbox 360 Kinect, 10 seater rustic dining table, original sanded floors and large bay windows.

The very large fully equipped unique kitchen with additional seating, has a 6 ring gas cooker, granite work surfaces, slate tiled floor, and a stable door leading to the garden.

The well designed, contemporary and stylish bedrooms comprise of 3 doubles and 2 twins (4 with en-suites). Our 6th bedroom, known as the Den, is accessed through a secret bookcase ‘hatch’, a loft conversion with Calibre balcony windows and double bed suitable for children or romantic hide-away.

The bedrooms have carpeted or sanded floors and digital t.v./dvd. The en-suites and bathroom all have complimentary toiletries.

Plants abound at The Organic Panda with a grassed area to the front of the property, fabulous Cornish plants and a charming secluded rear garden with seating area and barbeque - a perfect suntrap.

Well equipped with all essentials you would need from kitchen accessories to beach accessories.Parking space was really helpful.Location is just super. A short walk to the beach and harbour and plenty of food options. Great quirky shops everywhere too.Host was fab too. Very communicative and easily reachable. Thank you for the hamper too that was a lovely touch. We would highly highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place in St. Ives

This was our second time staying at the organic panda, and we enjoyed it very much! Perfect house for our large group, with easy access to everything in the village and beaches. Beautiful view of St Ives Bay. Peter was very responsive.

Awesome

The Organic Panda is an amazing house in a beautiful location. Been to St Ives many times but first time stayed for weekend. Coastal views from house are lovely and loads of room in this property. Hidden room very cool and quirky. Would recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place - it's awesome. Weekend of sun, sea, sand, good food, good company, several wines and ciders and a lot of laughs! Many thanks to host for the hamper of goodies.

Great location and a lovely house!

Host was always willing to answer questions and even switched out items from the gift hamper to suit our needs. The house was a stones throw from the coast and the view was amazing. Only issue for us as a whole was the house didn't feel clean. Some surfaces where dusty while others where somewhat sticky but besides that we had a great time and would definitely come back.

5* location

Property was in a great location, very spacious and great for the kids. Kitchen could have done with some more chopping boards and some champagne flutes. Also couldn’t get the Xbox to work for the kids. Apart from that everything was fine and we had a lovely time their.

Needs a deep clean and maintenance to meet its potential

This is a great house and the hosts were lovely and kind and have done all the right things to make it welcoming BUT the kitchen needs some serious attention and the whole house needs a hard clean. The dishwasher doesn't clean, the kitchen tap is sticky so you get blasted with water no matter how careful you try to be, the cooker goes off if you turn the gas low and you will need to pack matches as the ignition only works on one ring. Don't use any shelves or windowsills to put things on as they are covered with engrained old grease. The top floor has a moth problem- we saw dozens- and one bathroom had a silverfish. There was an bit of chewed gum and an old cotton bud on a shelf in one shower and previous guests rubbish under a bed. Nothing felt clean. But Brilliant location Lovely big airy rooms w high ceilings and some nice views Good TV w Netflix and an xbox Nice big dining table Hallway night lights WiFi boosters to the top of the house Not covered in "do this / don't do this" signs Nice welcome box of jam biscuits and prosecco etc But just so dirty that we didn't really feel we could relax.

Excellent family holiday venue

We were very satisfied with the property. There were a few minor issues. We needn't have contacted the owner about extra bedding if we had found the 6th bedroom sooner - I suppose we were a bit slow on the uptake! Larder space in the kitchen was limited. the cooks would have liked a mixer. A couple of lamps didn't work. Nevertheless a great house for a holiday. Thank you.

Family holiday

A great house for an extended family holiday ages 1-93! Very comfortable beds and everything you need in the bedrooms together with a very well equipped kitchen. Buckets and spades and beach towels also provided. A short walk to Porthminster Beach as well as easy access to the town. We walked everywhere and not too far for the four year olds especially with the reward of an ice cream! Good meals at Pothmeor cafe and Harbour by the lifeboat station.

Amazing, Spacious House!

The house was exactly what was advertised, in a perfect location with amazing veiws. Only a 2 min walk to the beach, Harbour and town. We had a lovely hamper on arrival, watch out for the hidden room, that was alot of fun to find. Lovely Art throughout the house and very spacious, would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Great house!

The location, sea views and amenities were just as advertised but we were truly impressed on arrival by the capaciousness of this airy house. Each room was generously proportioned and our large party – including a three-year-old and a 93-year old – was very comfortably accommodated.

Fantastic family holiday

Just come back from a wonderful holiday at the Organic Panda in St Ives. The location was just perfect for us as a family. Once the cars were parked we didn’t use them for the entire week! We were able to walk to all the local beaches, shops, restaurants and the Sloop. The house was very well equipped and comfortable for our large family group. We particularly appreciated the welcome food hamper and Prosecco filled with everything you need to get you started. The home owner was very easy to communicate with and knowledgeable by recommending a few restaurants which we thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to the wonderful St Ives.

Fantastic Place to Stay

The house is great and perfect for myself and 10 others who spent the week in St Ives for a wedding. The location is perfect with sea views, and only a 5minute walk into town and 10mins to the front. Great outdoor seating area, although a bit more space and a couple more outside seats would have been good.

A beautiful spacious home, perfect for a relaxing break away.

A wonderful home to gather with friends and enjoy the delights of the beautiful St. Ives. The house was perfect for the 12 of us. We all loved it, it was warm and homely with plenty of room for all. The hidden bedroom was a hit with the younger generation and lots of fun trying to find, a great idea! The welcome basket was a lovely surprise, full of treats, healthy ones too! Perfect location for all we wanted to do. We couldn't fault it. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.
