There isn't really anything else we can say about Salt House that hasn't been said by previous reviewers - except perhaps that Sharon does exist, and she is lovely too. One day we'd like to run a high end B&B in St Ives and if we get close to the standard at Salt House we'll be delighted. Alan and Sharon... More

Truly a lovely place to stay, we echo most of the previous reviews. The Salt House exceeds our experiences of many a hotel, it is especially nice having your own entrance gives a real feeling of privacy to enjoy the lovely surroundings, the view is fabulous straight out to sea from bed , bath or chair. As for the bed... More

Arrived to a warm welcome and some helpful advice on where to eat - lots of our favourites were closed. The room (North) was breathtakingly lovely and super clean, it was dark on arrival so we had to wait for the view. Not a worry, you could while away hours looking at the room. The bathroom was amazing, very inviting... More

The salt house is as lovely as all the reviews say. The rooms are amazing and so well decorated. We stayed in the north room which has a stunning bathroom and view from a very large bath tube out over across Cornwalls' coast lines and its one of those rooms ware if you could you you either pick it up...

Excellent & believe me I am pretty hard to please! As others have said the term B&B does the Salt House an injustice...it's a lot better than some hotels I have stayed in. It has everything ...spectular views, great location with easy access into St Ives & great walks on your door step, you really don't have to get the... More

Just returned from our second visit to the Salt House. Sometimes when you have had such a good first visit it is easy to build up the second visit so much that it becomes an anticlimax. Not so for this excellent B&B....in some ways B&B gives a false impression, easily the standard of a five star hotel and beyond. Fabulous... More

We have just stayed two nights in the South Room and the experience could not have been better. The design concept, the comfort, the location with its stunning views, the fantastic breakfast and Alan's warm hospitality all made for a perfect stay. Superficially it is not cheap but the value is in the sheer quality of everything. Even the healthy... More

My wife and I just stayed at the Salt House for two nights in the South Room, and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a really warm welcome from Alan and were left pretty open mouthed when we saw the room. The room is immaculate - bright, white, and beautifully furnished. There's a gorgeous bathroom, Molton Brown toiletries,... More
