10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay"

Greenbank Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful suite, fantastic view, excellent staff and food"

The St Ives Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a good location near the beach, only a short walk from the town, with a decent sized clean, comfortable room. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the only real downside was traffic noise and noisy guests at times. Overall it was really good value for money for the location and an enjoyable stay."

Mount View Hotel B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Quite possibly the best value bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. Easy to find and between Penzance and Marazion, it’s perfectly situated. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The hot drinks and water provided was a lovely touch. Yes - the place is a little rough around some of the edges but the staff are so helpful and friendly - and above all kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious and huge! I would always look for this place when coming back to this area. I stayed with children who loved it and loved the staff."

Had a good chuckle with a waitress who was there in the evening, and then the morning. Food was delicious. Very tasty. Cocktails and drinks were delicious. Spa was great, very relaxing massage."
