We had the opportunity to stay three nights at Shun Lee House. The reception and hospitality offered by Terry and Paul was superb and our room was spacious, well appointed and the view over the water to St Ives was fabulous. The location is handy as you can walk into St Ives in about 10 minutes which we did several... More

I have not been able to get down to St. Ives and Shun Lee for a while but the reception I received from Terry and Paul was so warm. As before, I was looked after very professionally and my room, the 'Raffles' Suite, was as welcoming and spotless as always. The bed has to be the most comfortable I have... More

Just returned from yet another wonderful stay at Shunlee. I think it must have been the coldest days St.Ives had ever experienced, but the welcome was warm and so was the house, breakfast as ever delicious and so much choice. Thanks again boys keep up the good work. Peter Folkestone

My husband and I stayed with Paul and Terry when we visited St Ives because of the wonderful reviews we read on Tripadvisor. We were in no way disappointed. They were the warmest of hosts and from the moment we met them we felt at home. The room was spotlessly clean with every amenity thought of. A lovely vase of... More

If you feel the need to be spoilt rotten, then this is the place. We have stayed in 5 star hotels around the world and none have hit the standards of Paul & Terry at Shun Lee.The most attentive hosts who immediately welcome you into their luxurious home with amazing picture postcard views.

A very warm welcome, a beautiful room that was scrupulously clean, very well equipped & spacious with stunning views. The bed was the best I have ever slept in.

We were at Shun Lee for a week, and enjoyed every moment. The hosts were most welcoming from the very start of our stay. They were helpful, friendly and attentive. The breakfasts were first class, and the facilities were excellent. The 20 minute stroll to and from town meant that our car stayed parked most of the time. We just... More

We had 6 wonderful nights at the Shun Lee Hotel in July 2012. Nothing was too much trouble for Terry and Paul. Two of the most genuine and sincere people we have ever met. Terry even collected Laura from St Erth Railway Station, which I thought was extremely kind and very generous. The Breakfast was cooked to a very high... More

Back again for another injection of pampered luxury and were not dissapointed. Paul and Terry could not be better hosts. Shun Lee, should be Cornish for relax. Only two rooms so booking is advisable, you will not be dissapointed.
