Have just returned from a much needed break in St ives. We stayed at the Olive Branch because it had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Our room was comfortable clean and bright and had seaviews. Breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Would we return ...... most definitely! More

My wife and I have just come back from the olive branch. We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were very nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Thankyou once again. More

Stayed here again for the third time. We like the olive branch because of its location. The rooms are very nice and the breakfast is good. The hosts are always attentive and we feel really at home here. Our only regret is that we had to go home. More

We thought we would have to hang around until lunchtime which is generally the norm when checking into places. On arrival Karen (one of the owners) said we could get into our room... More

How would I describe this B&B .... pleasantly understated. I have worked in the hotel inspection business for many years and am now retired, but you never really switch off.

I stayed here last month with my partner. The house was really impressive. Apparently the first occupant was a Sea Captain which didn't surprise us as the place had lots of character. Our room was very nice and comfortable and breakfast was good. Have booked again in September. More
