Beautiful and Cosy Garden Pod Saintives

St Ives

"The Pod was amazing, we don’t think the photos do it justice! We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and would love to visit again. Kevin and Michelle have thought of everything and were excellent with communicating details for directions and check in/out times. The location is brilliant, so close to St Ives and Carbis Bay, and the main bus route is right on the main road. Would highly recommend to anyone considering staying here. "

Green Apple Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at the Green Apple. The owners are very helpful and friendly. My room was very comfortable and clean. Parking was no problem as there are spaces along the road at the side of the hotel. The hotel is situated quite close to Carbis Bay railway station and the journey to St Ives by rail is about three minutes. You can walk into St Ives via a footpath, which takes about 30-40 minutes. It's mostly downhill so it takes a bit longer on the way back."

Boskerris Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cannot fault Boskerris Hotel. We had The Tiny Room and wondered how that would work out. Gorgeous room and En-suite, with everything we needed. Food was excellent with so much choice. Hotel lounge fab and view from the terrace was amazing. But what made our stay really special were the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they were all just so lovely. We will definitely be returning."

Pedn Olva

8/10 Good

"If I could give more stars for the location I would have, this place is stunning! Waking up in the morning and have breakfast by the sea is priceless. The hotel looks newly refurbished and it is at 3 minutes walk from the train station, very convenient location. The staff was also great, especially at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, I have got some food allergies and they took extra care which I really appreciated. However, despite doing their very best, they were short staffed and we could tell that they were quite stressed. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back and recommend to friends!"
