Set in St Ives, 300 metres from Porthmeor Beach and 700 metres from Bamaluz Beach, Tregony Guest House offers sea views and free WiFi. The property is located 700 metres from Porthminster Beach, 15 km from St Michael's Mount and 29 km from Minack Theatre. The guest house has family rooms.

We stayed in Room 3 for a couple of weeks on our first visit to Cornwall and it was exceptional! The Tregony was very clean, high quality comfortable beds, 2 large chairs to sit and watch the sea view and sunsets, many excellent breakfast choices (vegan/vegetarian choices) all well prepared each day. The hosts were very helpful and charming, providing us with restaurant ideas in other communities, and daily beaches and coastal walks to try. We were sorry to leave and will return to Tregony House as one of the best stays of our lives. Thank you Charlotte and Gavin!

Storm in a tea cup has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in St Ives, 500 metres from Porthmeor Beach.

Guests can relax in the garden at the property.

Carbis Bay is 2 km from Storm in a tea cup, while Tate St Ives is 1.5 km from the property. The nearest airport is Land's End Airport, 27 km from the accommodation.

Very glad there was a fridge in the room and also the welcoming by the host in general, the beds were very comfortable to sleep in and although it was just a room, it felt like a luxury hotel suite, bathrooms are quite large compared to anywhere else.

Thurlestone House is an adults-only bed & breakfast in Carbis Bay, around 1.2 miles from St Ives. The property enjoys sea views and offers a range of breakfasts. Just 7 minutes’ drive from the Tate St Ives gallery, this Cornish bed & breakfast has free parking and WiFi.

We enjoyed staying at Thurlestone House very much indeed for the 10 nights we were there. John and Linda could not have made us more welcome and were a fountain of knowledge both on the local area and wider Cornwall so were always willing to help with travel advice and where to go and what to see. The room was very comfortable, quiet and a nice size for the two of us. Breakfasts were very good indeed with a wide choice and always served with a smile. We would have no hesitation in staying at Thurlestone House again when next in the St Ives area.

So comfortable (comfortable and good size bed makes the stay so much better) and a large room, very centrally located in the heart of St. Ives. We couldn't have asked for more and a very reasonable price. We would love to use this accommodation again.
