Greenbank Hotel

8/10 Good
"A very pleasant, well managed hotel in an excellent location by the Penryn River with great rooms for breakfast and coffee and a pub. Only issue was that the room was very hot despite having an open window. Consequently sleeping was difficult. I was too slow in requesting a fan and irritated to be told there was one in the wardrobe or cupboard which there was not. I doubt whether a fan would be adequate. The hotel should seriously consider installing air conditioners in each room as summer temperatures are only going to get hotter."

10/10 Excellent
"Some hotels give you a room. St Michaels Resort gives you a memory. My partner and I spent three wonderful nights here, and St Michaels became more than simply the place where we stayed...it became part of our Falmouth story. There is something special about the atmosphere: beautiful, peaceful and effortlessly welcoming. Everything came together to make our stay feel genuinely memorable, and we left with that rare feeling of wishing we could remain a little longer. I even bought a few pieces of St Michaels merchandise because I wanted to take a small part of the experience home with me. That probably says more than any ordinary five-star review could. Falmouth gave us the scenery, but St Michaels gave the trip its heart. Thank you for hosting a chapter of our lives that we will always remember. We arrived as guests, left as admirers, and will certainly return. Samuel"

Green Apple Bed and Breakfast

8/10 Good
"I had an excellent stay at the Green Apple Bed and Breakfast. My room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, and there was a beautiful breeze coming from the ocean with the window open. The location is a close walk to the train station so you can go into St Ives quite easily. The breakfast was very good. Adrian was the main person I interacted with and he was very lovely, and clearly wanted to ensure that guests had a great experience. I really appreciated being allowed to leave my bag on site during the day after I had checked out so that I could go into St Ives without my heavy pack. My only suggestion would be to provide some form of written instruction for the check-in process once the customer has confirmed their check-in time, to avoid any confusion for guests on arrival."

"We had a lovely 5 night stay here. Location is excellent. We initially planned to stay in St Ives but due to the parking situation decided to stay in Carbis Bay instead. And there is parking spaces at the property as well as on street parking When we checked in , the lady was friendly and helpful The room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was great, had free wifi and fridge was stocked with juice, yoghurts, pastries as well as there being tea and coffee available and milk Location was perfect. It’s a 5/10 min walk from Carbis Bay beach, which is a lovely, chilled out beach that looks absolutely beautiful. We had a wander to the next beach across through a lovely scenic route in the hills Also St Ives is a 3/4 minute train ride from Carbis bay, or a nice Half hour walk Finally there were also some great places to eat nearby, we had an amazing fish and Chips at Becks which is just a few minutes walk away, had a couple of great meals at The Gannet and also picked up some yummy cakes from Yvettes Pantry which was a 10min walk away There is also a Costcutter right next to the property which came in handy, as well as a Tesco roughly 10/15mins away"
