For my mums birthday, I decided to take her to the beautiful St Ives. After hunting around for the best deal during the Easter Holidays, the Carlyon Guest House became a clear winner. The manager made everything quick and painless. Upon arrival, I was very suprised to see how close the guest house was to the town and the train... More

Where do we start - perfect location from train station - literally less than a minute from where you hop off train. We had room 3 which was the single room but can be a double - MORE than enough room for 2 people and the view was amazing. slept with blinds up so we could enjoy every moment possible.... More

I went to stay at this hotel with my 7 year old twins and I was a little concerned because many guest houses aren't very tolerant of young children. I was worrying about nothing. The manager Wayne was fabulous with the children and within a day or two all shyness had vanished and they adored him. The breakfasts were great,... More

Service was good. Clean room. Room and bathroom were small. Not much room to move around in. Soap and shower gel provided in the bathroom were the cheap supermarket savers brands as were some items provided at breakfast. It is good to save money but wouldn't have expected this in a b&b, especially when paying over £70 per night. Duvet... More

Hotel was clean and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpfull. Superb breakfast. Our room was overlooking Porminster beach, great views but due to the road noise it was quite noisey. Limited parking, make sure you confirm in advance, we thought we had reserved but none was available on arrival. bathroom could do with updating. wifi did not work. More
