We stayed with Michael and Trish for three nights and found Downlong Cottage clean, cosy, comfy and welcoming. We stayed in the large twin room which was really two connecting rooms with a shower room which was perfect for my sister and I. The location was perfect; quiet, being one street back from the harbour but only a few steps... More

Great B&B with delightful people in an amazing location. It is practically impossible to get last minute accommodation in St Ives and a one night stay is a definite no no with the majority of bed and breakfasts. Thankfully all those that turned us away did us a huge favour because they ensured we discovered the Downlong and it is... More

An excellent place to stay with all the attention that a large ego needs. Room splendid, breakfast waist band stretching, a well run and caring establishment. The owners even smiled after chasing after me when I walked off with the key. I would have been livid; I was with myself!

We decided to travel around Cornwall this time without booking anywhere and started in Penzance, the second night was in St. Ives, where we found Downlong Cottage, the location, just far enough away from the maddening crowds but a minute from the harbour and thankfully they had a room. We were made very welcome by Trish and Michael, the rooms... More

Approaching the end of our week's stay in St Ives the weather took a real turn for the better. We needed to leave St Ives to get family members and pets back to our home town of Derby but my wife and I wanted to immediately return. We thought finding somewhere to stay would be a real problem especially somewhere... More

We have recently stayed with Michael & Trish who were the perfect hosts, could not do enough for you and made our long weekend stay very pleasurable. I have been visiting St Ives for many years and love it, but this is the first B&B that I have found that has made me feel so welcome.

We stayed with Trish and Michael last Whitsun; it was fabulous. The rooms were superb, clean and well equipped. Breakfast was delightful, cooked to your own liking, fresh and yummy! Trish and Michael are genuinely lovely people, always having the time to chat and ask about your day. It really is worth staying with them in Downlong Cottage, the location... More

Went to stay down in St.Ives for a long weekend with two friends during July this year. We chose it from the simple yet effective website they own - Clear information, detailed information, easy to read, lovely accurate pictures of the cottage. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed into it and the service provided was fantastic. The lady of... More

Beautiful traditional character cottage, attractively adorned with floral baskets in the heart of the much coveted downlong area of St. Ives, conveniently located to the harbour, shops, restaurants, many beaches, the Tate Gallery and the Island car park. Comfortable immaculate rooms, excellent local cornish produce for breakfast - particularly trewithen butter. Trisha and Michael were very friendly,charming and accommodating hosts.... More
