Great Gaffs is a family run self catering holiday let property business which has been built around our knowledge and affection for the St Ives area, after having spent many years enjoying the delights that St Ives has to offer.

All our properties are ideally located to provide easy access to the blue flag beaches, historic town, Tate Gallery and all the other amenities and attractions that make up ‘the jewel in the crown’ that is St Ives as described in the 'Australian lonely planet guide of Britain'.

Each of our holiday cottages in St Ives has its own distinctive character as you will see...
