- "Exceptional welcome from Sue and Mike. Lots of valuable information about the area. They really wanted me to have a good time. Breakfast was excellent. Couldn't fault it. The house is immaculate and nicely decorated in a sympathetically modern style so not too stark and some nice old furniture to add character. Guest lounge is inspired do if you wanted you could have takeaways without eating in your room. Situated on hill. Walk in is lovely, walk out is a pull, but the no 2 bus is very obliging and drops you off right outside if you ask. Taxis are also plentiful if you don't want to walk. Extra bonus is outside shower for swimmers. Bedroom had everything you need. Bed was very comfy as were pillows. Towels big and fluffy. Heating at touch of radiator. Very quiet."

- "The view from my room was exceptional and all the staff really friendly and so helpful. The food was also excellent. Would highly recommend." - "fantastic room, fantastic facilities, amazing breakfast and very welcoming and helpful staff." - "Wonderful view from my room of rocks, sea and St Ives harbour. I had a single but it was cosy and quite big enough for me. Good to be able to adjust the temperature on the radiator. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Very pleasant bar/lounge area and dining room overlooking the beach and it didn't feel awkward to be eating on my own. Generous breakfasts and I must mention a superb risotto for dinner. Just a flight of stone steps down from St Ives station (very small) and a short walk to the hotel. On the quieter side of the harbour but just a few minutes' walk into the centre of the town."
