Offering some of the best sea and harbour views in St Ives Cornwall. Rates include a varied cornish breakfast including traditional Cornish Hogs Pudding. 2 minutes from train/bus station. Only minutes walk from town and all. Parking available subject to availability. Our emphasis is on a relaxed and homely atmosphere. Our home is your home. Please don't put a high expectation on us after reading reviews from very kind people as we are only a guest house and do our best to make people welcome for example we have a seating area outside with flower tubs but is by no means a reacreation of the hanging gardens of Babylon...Best wishes to all Howie and Andy. more » « less

Howie and Andy are brilliant hosts, breakfast is to die for and the rooms are so homely. i would recommend anyone who wants a home from home B and B and a warm welcome to stay here. The crows nest was an excellent room - brilliant views - comfortable bed and really warm. The teddy bear on the bed is... more

Spent two nights in St Ives (in late November 2007) and stayed @ White Waves - very warm welcome with a cup of tea & biscuits on arrival. The Master bedroom is beautifully decorated with fantastic views of the harbour. Best thing though is the friendly atmosphere, due to Howie & Andy. What a treat to sit at the breakfast... more

Just a quick comment to those of you considering booking - make sure you get your deposit cheque (a rather large 50%) through very quickly as we were very disappointed when the room we had provisionally booked for April 2008 was let out to another guest without any warning from the owners. We feel it would have been courteous of... more

Management response from
Howie Clarke, Owner

I feel very strongly that I have to respond to this review as we work tirelessly to be courteous and hospitable to guests and will not have our name tarnished from someone who has never stepped through our door. Our booking policy was the same for Rachel as it is with all our guests with no problems in 4 years!...

We stayed at White eaves in early September, and my experience was OK but not really living up to my expectations as a Tripadvisor Highly rated establishment. The decor was tired but it was clean. Overall I feel that you get what you pay for, However Howie was a gracious host. more

My family and i have just spent a wonderful weekend at White Waves , we were greeted by Howie and his warm... more

We stayed for 2 nights in the Crows Nest room. This room has wonderful views over the harbour and it is painted in tranquil colours which created a peaceful ambience. The room (and entire house) is extremely clean and tidy but despite this retains a homely feeling rather than becoming too clinical. The room was not ensuite but we were... more

We have just enjoyed a fantastic stay at White Waves Guest House. Although we were only there for one night we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Howie was a fantastic host and made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We stayed in the master double bedroom with a fantastic view of St Ives. The room was perfect... more

Howie and andy were the epitome of how a b&b should be run,i.e the feeling that you are in a home rather than a business establishment. My self and daughter arrived off the night sleeper and were greeted warmly and given a welcome drink.The food was very filling and plentiful and of high quality.Very clean room and nice touches which... more
