The parking was first come basis which was misleading as we had requested parking for the car we were travelling in on-site when booking. The noise between rooms was louder than normal so we assumed there was no sound proofing at all as we could hear the next room distinctly. The host was helpful and friendly and our stay was pleasant and very comfortable.

Company information

Owner Adrian was born and raised in St Ives and he has owned 3 previous guest accommodation businesses and thoroughly enjoys meeting guests from all over the world. Having worked as a retail manager in Tesco for 25 years the 'accommodation provider' lifestyle is a fantastic and enjoyable change.

Property information

Green Apple is deliberately different to the traditional b&b. The interior is designed to bright and cheerful to help guests relax and enjoy the stay. We aim to be competitively priced and offer a 'continental style' breakfast. Please note that the room named Braeburn is on the second floor with the best view to the sea but narrow stairs in places.

Neighbourhood information

Green Apple is roughly 1.5 miles from St Ives and the quickest walk will take about 1/2 hour though there are prettier routes. There is free parking, regular buses and the train station is also close-a great location for exploring Cornwall
