We stayed in St. Ives for five nights at the Rookery, it was immaculate and clean the room was spacious and the bathroom even more so (full sized bathroom).

We were late booking and unfortunately unable to secure one of the popular central B and B's for the dates we wanted in St Ives.

I wonder that none of it says that the place, really nice and clean, is located on the curve of the road almost above a couch terminal. Thefore the transport sounds are always there which was OK during daytime when we did not stay in... more

Have just spent a long weekend at The Rookery in St Ives. What a pleasure! A friendly welcome from Barbara, then shown to our room (3). It was spotless and beautifully decorated-you could tell a lot of thought had gone into it. Nice little touches such as proper hand soap and shower gel, not silly little "toy" ones. Lots of... more

This was my first trip to the UK so was not exactly sure what to expect in terms of accommodations, but our experience at The Rookery was nothing short of spectacular. Ron and Barbara did everything possible to make our stay a pleasant one, and Ron was a real riot at breakfast entertaining us and providing great advice on things... more
