“The location of this B&B is a genuine advantage, placing you moments from St Ives with welcome views of the town, and the inclusion of parking is a considerable bonus given the area. My room was a bright, modern space, impeccably clean with a truly comfortable bed, and the breakfasts were noteworthy - perfectly cooked with excellent choices, including thoughtful accommodation for specific dietary needs. The host, Lynn, consistently made guests feel truly welcome, fostering an atmosphere that encourages return visits.”
