Stayed in the Crows nest, which was spotlessly clean, well furnished and had amazing views. The attention to detail was what I would expect from a five star hotel, white bath robes, full toiletries, individual news papers in the morning an excellent breakfast and of course Howie, one of the best hosts ever. more

We only stayed for two nights but would have happliy stayed longer. It felt like we were staying at a friends house, rather than a guest house. (a friend that cleans up after you and cooks you lovely breakfasts that is). The town is also a very short walk down some steps, and porthminster beach is really close too, but... more

A great location, within walking distance to the town (local shops & restaurants) and beach. Howie, the owner was the perfect host, from the moment we arrived, he made us feel completely at home, he offered some great suggestions on restaurant bookings and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fantastic and had a perfect view of the bay... more

My partner and I just returned form a nights stay in this beautiful B&B. Niether of us could fault this place in any way at all.

Howie is a perfect host, so warm and friendly with a wonderful sense... more

We have just got back from a really great break in St Ives. We would definitely recommend staying at the White Waves - a lot of thought and effort has clearly gone into making guests feel welcome and making sure that their stay is as comfortable as possible. Howie is an excellent host and makes a great breakfast. The location... more

I stayed with my partner for two nights in June, this was our second stay, Howie is so attentive making you feel at home, sharing his wealth of local information, he cooks a lovely Cornish breakfast amoung other hot choices, his filter coffee is to die for ( yes Howie I also keep my coffee in the fridge now!! )... more

Spent two nights at White Waves and it was an unexpected pleasure. Apart from it's wonderful position and view, The proprietor Howie made this the perfect stay.
