I was planning to stay for 3 nights but left after one. To be honest, this B&B is alright but not for me. The room was small, a bit cramped, overlooking a roof. Otherwise, well thought out, with a fridge stocked with complementary water, milk, biscuits, cereals and yogurt. There is very good transportation to St. Ives and a few restaurants close by. The lady at the reception was helpful and friendly.

Quiet and spacious room which was well stocked with shower gel, shampoo, hairdryer, breakfast cereals and a fridge which had a wide range of items…milk, eggs, water, yogurt, fruit, orange juice, chocolate bars all replaced for free every day. I had the best nights sleep and an amazing stay. Highly recommended

This is a lovely hotel in a very good location. The nearby train and bus make it very easy to get around (into St Ives was very simple) and the beach in Carbis Bay is walking distance. The room suited our needs perfectly and the breakfast supplies (that were replenished each day) were a lovely touch. Would recommend to anyone!

Cosy room in a good area
Room was a little small but only really slept and showered there. Walkable to St Ives, but a few eateries around the immediate vicinity too. In room breakfast of instant porridge, pain au chocolate, fruit, water and juice provided, plus there was a kettle with tea coffee and biscuits. (Kitchen was closed during Covid) Chose last minute as a booking elsewhere was cancelled due to double booking, so was pleased to find somewhere in a good area

Great location
It is a very welcoming b&b in a great location the only downside was that the rooms are small and walls very thin, I think it would have been better if we were on the first floor but we happened to have a room by the front door so it was quite noisy at certain times but it didn't bother us that much as we were mostly out and came in exausted so crashed out in no time. The breakfast was always brilliant and staff very friendly. All in all we had a pleasant stay for the 3 days that we were there.

Lovely short stay in St. Ives. Hotel a little run down but didn't spoil our stay. Pete and Jan made us very welcome with a lovely card and bottle of fizz for our wedding anniversary. Breakfast was always lovely and hot with plenty to choose from.

Disappointed with room and hospitality
The rooms were much smaller than expected with little room to walk around the beds. After an early dinner, our group of five seniors wanted to play some cards in the breakfast room, as there was no where else to assemble, but our request was flatly denied. We ended up trying to play on an outdoor patio table with our jackets on and weighing down the cards to prevent them from blowing away under the threat of rain. Needless to say, we did not last long. We chose this location because of its proximity to a beach, which was within an easy trek down a steep hill. However, what goes down, must come back up! There was a little train one could take into St. Ives instead of a cab. A couple of good restaurants were within a five minute walk which was convenient as it is a ways to St. Ives.

Lovely little family run B&B that included a lovely cooked breakfast. Basic toiletries included and the owners are very friendly and helpful. There's a local co-op, couple of restaurants with bars and 10 minute walk from a beautiful beach.

Location on a main road going in and out of St Ives. A good walk to St Ives with steep inclines and steps along the coast path a short ride on the train or a up and down hill walk on the main road with no steps. 15 minute walk to nearest beach.

Not in the town of St. Ives
This hotel is not located in the town of St. Ives. However, you can walk 1.5 miles on the public footpath to St. Ives and the local beach is just down the hill. The hotel is a typical British B&B with small rooms and a good breakfast made to order. Remember that a British King Bed is not the same as an American King Bed...it is considerably smaller - if that makes any difference to you.

Loved our stay for 3 nights at this cosy B&B. Owners are an amazing family, very happy to help and accommodate all requests. 5 mins walk to Carbis Bay, so great location to stay in St Ives. Next to supermarket, salon and renowned Fish & Chips and Italian restaurant. Great price on offer in a expensive holiday destination.
