Set in St Ives and only 700 metres from Porthmeor Beach, Uno - St Ives offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated homestay is located 800 metres from Porthminster Beach and 1.1 km from Bamaluz Beach. The homestay features family rooms.

The property is wonderfully modern, with smart decor, without feeling out of place in St Ives. Our room was clean and came with all amenities and appliances we may need for our stay over the weekend. It may look like quite the distance, but with the shortcut beside, it only took 10 minutes for a nice walk to the beachfront. Both Dan and Lorena were very friendly, welcoming and eager to answer any queries or questions we might of had.

The owner could not have been more helpful; he gave us recommendations before and during our visit. My son got sick late one evening, and he made sure we had medicine and knew how to obtain medical care. Family room is a great size for a couple and 1-2 kids. Location is an easy walk to the town of St Ives and beautiful beaches. Early morning runs along the coast were amazing!

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.
