    The Cabin is not on the hotel site but that for us was a good thing. others may disagree. It was spacious and cosy and Carbis bay had gone a long way to ensure our stay was really nice and gave us all sort of creature comforts not afforded in the main hotel rooms. For myself and my wife we very much enjoyed it with excellent access to the bus and train into St Ives. I would give it 11/10 had it not been for the bed so its gets 9, and I really wanted to give it full marks.

    The cottage is very charming and comfortable with excellent location in St Ives. The street is quite and still right near the harbour, the ocean and the city centre. The hosts are lovely and helpful if needed! You can use an app where the hosts have provided thorough information about anything you might wonder about. The kitchen has everything you need and it has comfortable sofas to relax on after a long day of walking.

    Gorgeous Spacious Cozy Cottage. Lovely for time away with family. Great for family gatherings round the dining table or snuggled up on the sofa. Clean, well equipped, comfortable. Home from home. Stress free. Scones on arrival and milk in the fridge, a lovely touch. Friendly host on hand if needed. Great location for a tromp into St Ives.

    Excellent location in the middle of countryside – if you’re in search of silence, bird songs and cozy rooms in old building for relatively good price then that’s the spot. The have excellent kitchen with decent breakfast and bar. The guest house is an ancient building though rooms are very clean and cozy.

    The location was in the countryside area of St Ives, very peaceful surrounded with greens and wildlife, very closed driving distance from: - the UNA SPA including sauna, jacuzzi, steam room and pool - the Trink Dairy farm producting their own milk and butter David and Jackie were amazing hosts. The kitchenette was great with 4 plate hobs enabling to cook our own dishes. The cottage was nice, comfortable, warm and quiet. We will certainely book again...hopefully very soon.

    The owners were very friendly and helpful. There was a beautiful garden with roses in a very peaceful location. Idyllic old-fashioned cottage with an atmosphere. The room was cozy and clean and the breakfast was superb with classical music included served in a sunshiny garden-facing dining room. Really ideal for a relaxing holiday.

    What a lovely cottage! Right on the sea, with beach across the road, lovely location walking distance to all tourist attractions. Easy to book, easy to check in, every amenity you would need in a holiday cottage was available here and nice and clean as well. Friendly and helpful host too, answering any questions before or during the stay. Very comfortable beds, nice big fridge/freezer, and a big wardrobe in the main bedroom to hang clothes. Lots of mains electric points for charging electronics. Very comfortable and relaxing stay!
