I took my wife on a surprise birthday trip and the owner, Karen, even managed to leave a nice b'day card on our bed. The property is really well-located, silent and cosy. It feels like home. Karen and Mel are such lovely people and cook a great breakfast. You should try those perfect fried eggs before going to the beach...... More

Just returned from a marvellous few days at The Olive Branch. From the moment we walked through the door the place just had such a nice atmosphere. We had a very warm welcome from Mel one of the owners who took us up to our room which was bright, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.... More

Stayed here in April for a few days. The house is really nice - the entrance hall is impressive with what looks like the original floor tiles and the archway and coving on the ceiling is lovely. We stayed in room 1 at the top of the house, this was a nice size room with ensuite facilities. Breakfast was good... More

Have just returned from a much needed break in St ives. We stayed at the Olive Branch because it had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Our room was comfortable clean and bright and had seaviews. Breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Would we return ...... most definitely!

My wife and I have just come back from the olive branch. We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were very nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Thankyou once again.

Stayed here again for the third time. We like the olive branch because of its location. The rooms are very nice and the breakfast is good. The hosts are always attentive and we feel really at home here. Our only regret is that we had to go home.

Nothing was too much trouble and there was the absolute right level of checking... More

Stayed at The Olive Branch for the second time. We had a different room but it was just as nice as the one we had for our first visit. As usual breakfast was good and it was great to see Karen and Mel again. See you again in September!

A friend and I decided to take a much needed break so decided to book into The Olive Branch in St Ives for a few days. It was very nice. Karen and Mel are really lovely people and nothing seemed too much trouble. Having never been to St Ives before they were very informative and also recommended some nice places... More

Just returned from our stay at the olive branch. This b&b is so nice. We had driven through the night and got to St Ives really early. We thought we would have to hang around until lunchtime which is generally the norm when checking into places. On arrival Karen (one of the owners) said we could get into our room... More
