Trevose Harbour Hotel is truly fantastic with an amazing location, right in the heart of St.Ives. Everything is organised to perfection. Breakfast on the terrace was a delight helped by the wonderful Olly and Angela who were absolutely wonderful hosts. They gave us some really helpful tips on galleries and restaurants which were invaluable. We hope to be back!

I do not usually leave reviews- primarily because it slips my mind and/or I tend to verbally tell the proprietor if I have a nice time! But... I must leave a review in this instance. This B'n'B is so utterly fabulous. Every last detail has been thoroughly planned and executed, to the highest degree! It is beautifully clean and crisp, while being so aesthetically pleasing (from the furniture and wall-hangings, right down to the type of cloth napkins used at breakfast service). You are welcomed so wonderfully and offered a complimentary beverage with such a fantastic selection of beverages (My partner

This place is amazing! The ambiance, the service, the rooms and the location are all top. And the breakfast is delicious! We stayed two nights only and wish could have stayed longer. The staff also made very good recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Ollie!
