Cornerways Guest House, hotel in St Ives

Cornerways Guest House is set in St Ives, 100 metres from Bamaluz Beach, 200 metres from Porthmeor Beach, and 200 metres from Porthgwidden Beach.

A gorgeous guest house, beautifully furnished, including all sorts of Cornish themes being pulled into the interior decor, which was really to be appreciated, given the mad, busy attraction St. Ives has become. Tucked away in a pretty, quiet, town lane, it’s a little gem of a place to duck into (hanging baskets overflowing and vibrant by the front door). Our room let us look out over the harbour, the bay, and all the coast at least as far as Godrevy Point, and on the slate rooftops close to, herring gulls touch down, just briefly! The place captures something of St. Ives very well, in a good way. Loved it.

    Breakfast was excellent. The best memories we have of our stay at the Organic Panda are the location, which provided wonderful views of the coast and the town and allowed us to get acquainted with the route to explore walking around the town, and Peter, the host, was a very charming man, witty and entertaining, and a very good cook. He and his wife Andrea were a great source of information and ideas as to what to visit. Thank you to them both, our stay was comfortable and memorable.

    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.

    The breakfast was customised based on each guest’s specific preferences. Both Steve and Tressa were great hosts and quite punctual in delivering it to the guest’s designated dinning table. The atmosphere was both quiet and relaxing within a very charming home and backyard setting.
