We are looking at self-guided walking in Cornwall next October for 7 to 10 nights. We like to have a single base and use public trans and occasionally a taxi. HF Holidays bases in St. Ives and it looks like many good short-to-medium/easy-to-moderate walks and hikes are possible from there. We don’t want to use HF Holidays as we prefer the option to cook for ourselves and have the space a holiday let will give us. We also like to take the occasional day off from hiking and explore a small town or two,
Is St. Ives a good base? Any personal recommendations?
