    Lovely staff. Great location, just a short walk into St Ives and the shops and beaches and galleries. . Free parking which is very difficult to come by in St Ives. Great breakfasts. Comfy bed. Coffee machine in bedroom. Lovely En Suite. Tasteful interior design of the guest house. Great view from the dining room, which overlooks a golden, sandy beach. Very reasonable rates when we went in March.

    The apartment was fabulous! Gorgeous decor and spacious, with a stunning view. We loved it and felt very at home. The bath was lovely and the bed very comfortable. It was a luxury apartment, very peaceful, and we could see and hear waves sitting in bed with a cup of tea. I would highly recommend it, and the restaurant next door who owns the apartment.

    Lovely space, very clean and bright. Loved the beach house vibes and character of the owners that comes through the design and little artifacts. Very close to the city center too, a pleasant 10min walk.
