A lovely B and B and very comfortable. The room and bed were great and a good breakfast. And we were given a lovely welcome. It is hard to say good value for money though as nothing in St Ives is! Free Parking at the back of the house was a massive plus as parking in the st Ives area... More

The room had a wonderful view over Carbis Bay, en suite was very spacious and immaculate,bedding was excellent - no smelly... More

We stayed here for a romantic weekend getaway and loved every minute of it. Gill and Mike made us feel at home right away. The guest house is very homely, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We booked room nr. 3 which has views of Carbis Bay from the window, very spacious, comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe space & en-suite shower.... More

From the reviews and rating of this B & B we expected better. True - the hosts were very pleasant but they do seem to be stuck in the 70s especially with regards breakfast. Weirdly we had to choose our breakfast items the night before when we obviously had no idea what we would fancy the next day. Then a... More

Well, as can be seen by all our other guests, we do have a very high standard, of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as an example,...weak coffee...we use a high quality coffee, if it is to weak or strong the first morning we change it ,or do it to suit the next day, no problem!

As soon as my wife and I walked through the doors of Chy an Gwedhen, we were received with a very warm welcome from Gill and Mike. They offered us tea straight away, even though they had a lovely welcome tray in each room. We had requested for a room with a sea view and what a view it was,... More

Central for exploring wonderful Cornish coastline, with easy access to all areas wether by foot, car, bus or rail. A lovely area, a warm and friendly b and b. Clean and tidy, we were made to feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely go back! More

I hope that I am able to convey what a wonderful place this is, and in particular what fabulous hosts Jill and Mike are. After a long journey I was greeted with a warm welcome and a pot of tea ( even though there are tea making facilities in the room). I was in Cornwall partly as a tourist but... More

This B&B was excellent, the hosts couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was big with loads of choice and extremely tasty. The room had everything you needed and more, they really have thought of everything. Even the taxi driver who dropped us off in the evening was telling us how lovely the place and people were and he wasn't... More
