Christopher owns The Anchorage and he is a true example of 'mine host'. From the moment we rang to see if he had a room, nothing was too much trouble for Christopher! Our room was spacious and clean with everything supplied for our needs, including a parking spot, which was Christopher's personal space.Christopher supplied us with books he had compiled... More

the b & b is in a great position for both the beach and the shopping areas as well as the more art related bits of the town. Good breakfast - Chris was even prepared to do a bit of fried bread,although I feel he was reluctant to do so - very comfortable room and extremely friendly and helpful at... More

Stayed for 4 days in April. The 'Anchorage' is full of character. It is also very centrally located - perfectly positioned near the harbour and sea front. Chris is an excellent host - helpful at all times. Yes... the breakfast is good! Our room (3) was clean, stylish and well equipped with quality furniture. This is a small, homely guest... More

Stayed here for Easter, received a very warm welcome from Chris. Room was really nice, breakfast was excellent, in fact I'm still talking about the breakfast, (2 weeks later). The Anchorage is really handy for the town also only a 5 minute walk for a stunning walk along the South West path to Zennor. Thank you Chris for a relaxing... More

Stayed at this charming and lovely b&b just one night. Location is perfect, just behind the harbour, in a very quiet little street. The exterior is beautiful, and inside the rooms are a bit small with low roofs (the house is old, so it is like a journey back in time). Our room was really lovely, on the top of... More

Best B&B in St Ives, cracking location (rolling distance from the famous Sloop pub and the beach), very friendly host - nothing's too much trouble, delicious breakfast with a wide variety of choice and all round good Chris-tmas fun! We'll definitely be back.

My partner and I have just come back from a lovely weekend in St Ives. The Anchorage was very welcoming and bang in the middle of things. Chris was very knowledgeable about the area and as it was our first time visiting, went through the best places to visit. The breakfast was fabulous, the room was rather small for my... More

Just had a weekend break in St. Ives and stayed at The Anchorage. For those of you that know St. Ives, The Anchorage is located just behind The Sloop in the harbour. So it's close enough to be near all the pubs and restaurants without having to drive or grab a cab. It's a small place, only has 4 rooms.... More

This charming B&B is post card pretty form the outside and charming on the inside with lots of beams. Anyone (like us) over 5 feet 9ins does need to concentrate on not banging their heads, but to be honest if you have a problem with that you'd best book into a boring large hotel. We were in a room right... More
