A recently renovated guest house set in Carbis Bay, Carbis Bay Suite, Carbis Bay, St Ives, free parking, near beach features a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located less than 1 km from Carbis Bay Beach.

The room was comfortable, warm and freshly renovated. Check-in and out was easy, and the hosts communicated brilliantly. The location was great. Able to get down to the beach quickly; 10 - 15 minutes walk (we walk quickly...)--albeit there is a fairly steep hill to negotiate, but you have to come up the hill if you want to get anywhere at all from the beach, so it's unavoidable. I'm sure you can easily get a taxi back up if necessary.

Thurlestone House is an adults-only bed & breakfast in Carbis Bay, around 1.2 miles from St Ives. The property enjoys sea views and offers a range of breakfasts. Just 7 minutes’ drive from the Tate St Ives gallery, this Cornish bed & breakfast has free parking and WiFi.

We enjoyed staying at Thurlestone House very much indeed for the 10 nights we were there. John and Linda could not have made us more welcome and were a fountain of knowledge both on the local area and wider Cornwall so were always willing to help with travel advice and where to go and what to see. The room was very comfortable, quiet and a nice size for the two of us. Breakfasts were very good indeed with a wide choice and always served with a smile. We would have no hesitation in staying at Thurlestone House again when next in the St Ives area.

    Breakfast excellent, especially liked the fresh fruit option, although hubby very happy with his Full English. Parking easy & on site. Hosts very welcoming & helpful. Not an issue for us, but guests need to be aware this is a hilly area, so walk to beach is down a steep hill. Frequent, cheap train to St Ives, so leave the car behind when visiting restaurants etc.
