Guests say
Una Aurum 56 is a well-received holiday cottage in St Ives, appreciated for its access to spa and swimming pool facilities. Guests find it a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the area, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Some guests mention a welcome pack, enhancing their stay. However, there are comments about the need for a deep clean and maintenance updates.
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences with cleanliness. Some guests found the property very clean, while others noted issues such as marks, cobwebs, and a stale smell. The inconsistency leads to a slightly above-average score.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to St Ives and the peaceful surroundings. However, some guests found it remote, especially without a car. The positive comments about the location outweigh the negatives.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the property suitable for short stays. However, there are remarks about uncomfortable sofas and stuffy rooms due to a lack of windows, suggesting room for improvement.
The spa and swimming pool are highlights, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken chairs and poor TV reception. The absence of an on-site restaurant, despite being advertised, also affects this score.
While a welcome pack is mentioned positively, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or to what extent they impact the guest experience. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Perfect as a base for a quick break to visit family and friends with the additional bonuses of a welcoming 'goodies' pack and access to the spa and swimming pool areas too. Well done to Alfred and the Team who are also on hand to help settle in if required.

No. 56 was small, clean and modern. Perfect for two of us. The pool and spa were an excellent addition. When the Internet failed Alfred, from Atlantic was extremely helpful. Overall a very pleasant restful stay.
