Rooms here are miniscule, but the marvellous view of Godrevy Lighthouse and the bay beneath our window with gannets diving every few minutes compensated. Very convenient location a couple of minutes' walk from the train station and a few parking spaces for guests available in the nearby long-stay car park. A good breakfast with friendly service. New manager is still... More

I stayed in this quaint little B and B and the view was stunning. I sat in bed looking over the bays with cliffs on either side and a beautiful nearly white beach. I could have stayed in that bed forever. Wayne the host was so helpful and breakfast was yummy. All this and rsituated in St Ives itself. I'd... More

The Carlyon is very conveniently located, a few minutes walk to the station and within easy reach of the centre of town and the harbour. The front rooms have beautiful views over the bay. The stairs are very steep and at the top of the house they are so steep there are handholds on the walls to help you get... More

I've just returned from a four night stay at the Carlyon Guest House and I have no complaints whatsoever. We had a lovely room with a fantastic view of Porthminster Beach, which is only a few minutes walk away, very handy in fact, as you can go for a swim, and then pop back to your room at the Carlyon...
