It was one of the cutest places I've ever stayed in my life! The room is small but comfy and nice, the bad was perfect. I even had a hairdryer in my room -- i didny have to ask for it separately! It has a nice outdoor terrace: the weather was awful and I regret I quitted smoking because I wasn't able to enjoy it. The breakfast was amazing. I never take the pics of my accommodation... but here I was unable to resist :)

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.

With boutique bedrooms and a stylish bar, Primrose Valley Hotel offers free parking and free Wi-Fi. Just metres from Porthminster Beach, the hotel has wonderful views across the Celtic Sea.

The individually designed rooms at Primrose Valley feature oak floors and bespoke furniture. All rooms have a flat-screen TV and a modern bathroom, and some have sea views and private balconies.

We were made to feel most welcome right from the start when our host spotted us looking for their sign and proceeded to tell us that we were indeed at the right place. He opened the door, helped me with my bag and promptly checked us in with a friendly explanation of the amenities and what to expect the next morning for breakfast. Then he escorted us to our room and made sure that we were happy with the accommodations before resuming his duties downstairs. Our bed was very comfortable, the room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious. All of our interactions with our hosts were warm and helpful. Lastly, we were very pleased with the proximity of the property to the local train. It was just the right distance away, but a short enough walk with our bags so as to make it easy to get to and depart from the property when we had to catch an early train on our day of departure.

    Was working local so ideal. Room cosy, bed comfy, plenty tea and coffee in room. Small menu, had the steak well tasty. Breakfast, one of the best fry ups ever had. Bar area fine, was a Monday night so quiet, but locals and staff were friendly enough

    The property is ideally located for both Carbis Bay Beach and Carbis Bay Station. St. Ives is one stop away and takes 2 minutes to get to and only cost £1 each way. The beach is excellent - very clean with clear water. Be aware that whilst the station and beach are walking distance, they are both downhill - the walk back can be tiring but not unmanageable. Margaret and Martin are great hosts and like to spend time getting to know their guests with a genuine interest in them.
