Three generous guest rooms in a lovely detached house at the top of the hill over looking St Ives Bay. Our large room was at the side of the house with balcony overlooking the bay, large king size double bed, breakfast table and chairs, two further arm chairs to relax in, as well as patio furniture. Ensuite bathroom with large walk in shower, everywhere was spotlessly clean. Evelyn and Tony are superb hosts, welcoming, helpful and under the current Covid situation went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. Breakfast was served to our room consisting of a varied selection of a hot dish, fruit, cereal, toast etc each day. A lovely 10 - 15 minute walk down hill into the town, we found it easier to take a taxi back for only a fiver. Definitely a B&B on a higher level in more than one way. 

Excellent B&B

Loved our stay once again Evelyn looked after us . The room was very nice with a balcony and sea view. The bathroom was kept spotless and we were kept topped up with tea and coffee and milk in the fridge. We had a splendid breakfast every morning . Will be booking again .

Relaxing holiday

We stayed for 5 nights in June.  Fantastic room, sea views from the balcony, very clean, comfortable & welcoming.  Breakfast was outstanding & other guests were very friendly.    Evelyn & Tony were great hosts.  We will be back sometime I'm sure!!

Great break in St Ives

Fantastic place to stay and Great  hosts to welcome you  Breakfast was first class  great sea views from our balcony  lovley garden with sea view thank you tony and Evelyn we will be back Julie and Graham frost

Great accommodation

We stayed for 6  nights in August. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and comfortable with a sea view. 
Breakfast was hearty with something different added every day and kept us going until the evening.
Evelyn and Tony were excellent hosts and Sid (housekeeping) was nice and friendly.

Anniversary holiday

Big detached house converted into guest house. Generous rooms, with king size double bed. Unable to gauge hotel social areas as closed due to a Covid restrictions. The large room we occupied was exceptional with ample hanging/storage in the room. The patio door leading to the balcony at the side of the house was a wonderful feature. Ideal to admire the sea view. Rathlena, The host, was attentive and Sorted out any requests for additional items which were given straight away, as she was always available. The breakfast brought to the room were lovely each morning (again Covid procedure). Car parking space on drive is provided which is good, as St Ives is small and busy for cars. 
Although nothing to Dislike, here are some practical observations; this guest house is not for those that can’t walk long distances, or up hill. It was a steep uphill 10-15min walk to the town centre.. and of course back!! Good exercise though! The TV was small in the room, but if you do not spend a long time in the room, this will not be an issue. The free WiFi was also not very strong in our room with patchy reception. This may be Ok in other rooms. 

Lovely guest house in St Ives 

Stayed at Rathlena in July for a few nights in the premier room which was very comfortable.  The whole place was spotless, the breakfast plentiful and could not fault the hospitality and warm welcome.  The house itself is in a very built up residential area and the walk into the centre of St Ives is all downhill and pleasant.  However, if you wanted to walk back you would be hard pushed to go uphill all the way and probably get lost because it's not that straightforward.  We had to get a taxi every time to get back especially after having a decent dinner and a few drinks.  Enjoyed our stay very much but would not stay again purely for for location which was not quite as advertised.
