This was a wonderful place to stay - a real find. From booking to departure, the service was first class. On arrival, my partner and I were greeted warmly with a cup of tea in the lounge, a welcome refreshment after a long drive, before being shown to our room. We had booked the last room in the hotel and we weren't disappointed to find we had a beautiful four poster bed, nice toiletries in a spotless clean, modern bathroom, TV / DVD player and tea/coffee making facilities. The room didn't have a view but this didn't matter too much since all we had to do was step outside for a vew of the picturesque harbour and town.
The location was ideal for exploring St Ives - the harbour and nearest beach was a 5 minute walk down some fairly steep steps. We spent our first day exploring the rabbit warren of cobbled streets around St Ives and our second, exploring the surrounding countryside. The hosts , Ricky and Jenny ,are extremely knowledgage about the area and are happy to suggest restaurants and places to visit.
I should also mention the breakfasts - they were probably one of the best I'd ever had! A menu with a large selection of choices was available each day - I had Eggs Benedict one day and tried the waffles the next - yum!
The only downside I can think of was the lack of parking. The hotel has less parking spaces then rooms so this meant we had to move our car on one of the nights as the hotel was fully booked. This wasn't too much of a hassle - we did eventually find somewhere but St Ives is notoriously difficult in this respect so more to do with the town than the hotel, but you have been warned!
If you're looking for an intimate, friendly B&B with hospitable hosts and stylish, contemporary surroundings, then you will love this place! We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in St Ives and can't wait to visit again!
