Thank you for a very enjoyable stay, the location was perfect for walking and exploring the local area. We will definitely be recommending you to our friends and family.
Tips:We spent much of our visit walking the coastal paths and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We did have some very good food at Cintra and enjoyed coffee at the Carbis Bay cafe, amazing to see the seals swimming so close!
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi Rachel, Many thanks for your review. We are so pleased to hear you guys enjoyed your stay and exploring the coast path and local area. Best wishes. Pete and Heidi.

Had a fabulous 6 days staying at Chy an Gwedhen. Heidi and Pete are great, they're both very friendly and welcoming and their home is a pleasure to stay at. Perfectly located, with just a short walk down into St Ives, or head in the opposite direction for an even shorter walk to the beach at Carbis bay. Our hosts were very helpful in regards of places to go and how to go about getting to them and Pete was very knowledgeable of the local comings and goings 🙂. We would recommend Chy an Gwedhen without hesitation for your stay in Cornwall, and Pete's scrambled eggs are pretty good too 😉. Thank you both for letting us share your home. Nick & Tracy.
Tips:Take the open top bus to get around the place, £5 per person for the day but you can get on and off as you please, great value for money i think. Just ask Pete about it and he will give you the detail, he did for us. :-)
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi guys, Many thanks for your kind review. We are over the moon that you enjoyed your stay with us, it means a lot to us if we can enhance it in any way! Once again, many thanks. Pete and Heidi.

Pete & Heidi were so welcoming and friendly. This is our third visit to Chy an Gwedhen, each time has been lovely and we feel like we have a couple of new friends. The location with parking is perfect. The rooms comfortable and immaculately clean and Pete’s breakfast is delicious. Perfect location and perfect hosts.
Tips:A trip to Godrevy is a must to see the seals.

8th September 2024:
1. Loved the honesty fridge, a nice touch for people arriving late. 2. Great location, a short walk from the beach with amazing views! 3. Felt like a second home from the minute we walked in, such friendly hosts. 4. The breakfast menu is more confusing than it needs to be and could do with a straight forward ‘This is free’ and ‘This isn’t’ section. However, we received a great explanation from Pete (who was a top chef and chief chatterbox)
Tips:The pub quiz across the road on a Wednesday (in the Cornish Arms) was so fun and the food was surprisingly good for typical pub grub! Our favourite restaurants were ‘Talay’ (Thai restaurant in St Ives) and ‘Porthminster Beach Cafe’ - absolutely gorgeous food and views. If you are stuck on a rainy day, there’s a seal sanctuary nearby and it was one of our favourite activities of the whole trip.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi Girls, Many thanks for your kind review, it's very much appreciated. One quick thing about the menu. It isn't separated due to the different ways people can book. Short of having several menus it's not quite that easy really. Many thanks for your comments on that though, it's great to get some feedback. Kind regards Pete and Heidi

Super setting with parking- a real bonus in St Ives. Extremely helpful and friendly proprietors who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. This was our fifth visit. Chy an Gwedhen is very well maintained and thoroughly clean. The plentiful breakfast is delicious and made with high quality local ingredients.
Tips:Close to a good local pub for meals if you don’t want to walk into St Ives. St Ives is stunning and the centre is in easy walking distance. Also, within a close range of several National Trust properties. Train station for Truro, Falmouth and Penzance within walking distance.
Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely hosts who made us feel welcome. They shared their knowledge of places to visit/eat etc. Loved how we could order a personalised breakfast at a reasonable rate. Our room was clean and comfortable. Free parking is available too. Great view of the sea from the room.
Tips:Great location whether you are driving or using public transport. It takes about 30 minutes walk into the town centre where there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.

2nd July 2024:
Very comfortable stay as usual. Little touches which make a stay with them just that little bit special - heated towel rail, really comfortable bed and, for those of us who can't face a cooked breakfast, Pete and Heidi did super fruit cocktails with loads of different fruit nicely cut up. Not to mention their own muesli mix. Nice sunny seating area in the garden facing the sea.
Tips:Bus stop is just a couple of minutes down the road into St. Ives if you don't fancy the 20 minute walk. There is a bus from the Malakoff every evening at 10.00 p.m. The bus service is reliable.
Would Recommend: Yes

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Chy an Gwedhen. Heidi and Pete were the perfect hosts, friendly and knowledgeable of the local area. There is free onsite parking for all guests. We walked into the town centre every day (about 15 minutes down a relatively steep coastal path) and got the bus back up again. St Ives is a lovely place and we will certainly stay at this B&B again in the future.

Amazing, possibly the best guest house I've ever stayed in. Well-organised and friendly. Brilliant view from our room. Reasonable walk to St Ives with plenty of benches en route if needed. Note there's a communal fridge in the hall - great if you like to bring your own milk.

Heidi and Pete were excellent hosts, very informative about St Ives and the surrounding areas. It was lovely to have hosts with such a great sense of humour. The room and breakfast area were outstanding and the decor was superb. The outside seating area was very smart with views over the bay. Parking was also a huge bonus. Pete cooks an amazing breakfast with local produce. Not only can you walk various ways into the town but there is also an excellent bus route right outside the accommodation. Would recommend these hosts and their property to anyone thinking of visiting St Ives. Thank you Heidi and Pete for making our stay so pleasurable.

Tips:A pleasant walk down in to St.Ives. The PednOlva always good for refreshments and food. Peppers a nice little Italian pasta and pizza place. For something handy, just down the road is The Cornish Arms where they serve good pub food. Worth a visit is Tremenheere gardens near Penzance,lovely woodland garden with fabulous views.They also have a good restaurant.

Could not ask for better hosts in Peter and Heidi. Make you feel welcome and part of the family. Excellent accommodation, which is spotlessly clean with everything you need in your rooms. Both have an excellent knowledge of the area and can give you all the advice you need on the local area and beyond. Cannot recommend highly enough if you’re looking for a short break or longer stay.
Tips:We stayed this time for 3 nights, lovely 10-15 mins stroll along coastal path into St. ives from the accommodation. We dined at rum and crab, lovely cocktails, and The Mex, stunning Mexican food and large portions. Plenty of lovely bars at the harbour front. Last night we used Becks, brilliant fish and chips restaurant or takeaway. On a rainy day the Geevor tin mine is well worth a tour for local history, st Micheals mount is also well worth a visit to the castle and gardens. Also enjoyed kynance cove and sennen cove, beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters.

Absolutely fantastic stay here for 5 nights in August 2023. Brilliant location, close to St Ives which was a great place to eat on an evening. The room was clean and Pete and Heidi who own the property were very friendly and helpful. Overall a great stay and we will definitely be back/recommended to others!
Tips:Porthcurno beach is a personal favourite (about a 40 minute drive). Mr Bs ice cream parlour in Hayle does some of the nicest ice cream around. Thai Talay was a lovely restaurant on the harbour front in St Ives. They don’t take bookings so worth getting down there early.

The house is in an ideal location. We had access to the local bus stop which is literally opposite to the house, we also had walking access to the beautiful coastal path which leads to the beach. The house was very clean and tidy, especially the bathroom. The house also has a lovely back garden which has a stunning view of the sea. We were greeted very positively by Pete & Heidi who helped us with the smooth check in. We had a tumultuous journey to the house because our car broke down, but their warm welcome put us to ease and their hospitality blew our mind. We also enjoyed the morning breakfast 😋. Overall we were extremely satisfied with our stay and would love to come back. 😄
Tips:The walk to the town centre and the beach through the coastal path is beautiful and is a must. Do make use of the various brochures and pamphlets available at the reception area, they are very handy.

The accommodation is very clean and tidy, the breakfasts were ideal as you could order the day before and you only had what you wanted. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
Tips:There is a bus from very near the front of the property. Some guests were using their free bus passes to go all around Cornwall. There are more than one bus route to St Ives. Chy an Gwedhen is in a good position for visiting around Cornwall. We went to the Harbour fish and chips restaurant in the harbour of St Ives, their fish was wonderful and the Cornish Cider, brilliant.

What a gem, Chy an Gwedhen is. The hosts Heidi and Pete are true advocates of hospitality at its best. with a wealth of local knowledge we were given tips on where to eat, what to see and do. The accommodation is kept spotlessly clean and the room we stayed in (Maple) was comfortable with a lovely sea view. The breakfast cooked by Pete was scrumptious and plentiful with plenty of choice. I would recommend anyone to stay at Chy an Gwedhen 10 out of 10 for Pete and Heidi. we will definately go back.
Tips:What a gem, Chy an Gwedhen is situated in a great location for travelling by bus, train or on foot. Local Buses to most areas of Cornwall stop 30yards from the accommodation. Carbis Bay and St Ives stations are within reasonable walking distances. On foot a mostly downhill scenic walk into St Ives via the coast path is a must. Althogh our stay was out of season there were plenty of things to see and do. Art Galleries,Historic Houses and Gardens and Industrial heritage sites.

Room was spotless and a lovely sea view ,location great right next to the coastal path for walking either into St Ives or down to Carbis Bay.Breakfast was really good well cooked and good quality,what more could you ask for. Great value for money would definitely say here again.
Tips:Lots of lovely restaurants in St Ives recommend Sea food cafe, also lovely pub Cornish arms right near the B&B we had two lovely meals there.

Pete and Heidi are a really nice couple,very attentive and very helpful with information
Tips:If ,like us,you've never been to St Ives before ,it is advisable to book a table for dinners as walking in is very disappointing to find everywhere is booked On Pete's advice we took a trip round to Hayle to The Bluff Inn and it was fantastic, especially at lunchtime St Ives is a very hilly place but is easily walkable from Chy an Gwedhen,the walk back is a challenge if you're not used to walking but is in walking distance

Pete and Heidi are the perfect hosts at their scrupulously clean, well appointed and comfortable home. Beds, linen and towels are all soft and fresh. Our room was simply furnished but with everything you needed. The bathroom was spotless. Most rooms look towards Carbis Bay and have beautiful sea views. Breakfasts (ordered and texted the night before) are cooked using local produce and delicious. Once parked up (in their private car parking space) you don’t need to use the car again. The path next to the property leads down to the fabulous beaches of Carbis Bay or Porthminster and St Ives. Covid precautions are all in place to ensure you feel safe during your stay. Highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very enjoyable stay room was really nice and a comfy bed and breakfast was lovely really tasty and in the lovely little cosy dining room. Only small negative was the shower as had no power and vert temperamental with the temperature. Pete and Heidi are great and very friendly.
Tips:the sloop Inn pub, talay thai restaurant, hub restaurant, local fish and chips. Visit St Michael's Mount, the Minack Theatre def worth a visit and only around 10 miles to each from St Ives.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi, thank you for your review. The shower is a pressure issue which we are aware of but can’t do much about unforgettable. This is why we explain to people in that room on arrival, if everyone is showering at the same time it does get affected by the pressure. Thanks Pete and Heidi

Tips:It is easy to walk from the door straight on to the coastal path to St Ives or towards Hayle or to walk to St Ives along the road or catch the frequent bus service. We ate at The Cornish Arms nearby and St Ives has many lovely restaurants,coffee shops and galleries. The train journey from St Erth to St Ives is very scenic.

On our arrival, Heidi and Pete were immediately welcoming, charming and helpful. They couldn't have made us feel more welcome and we immediately knew we were going to enjoy our stay. The use of a fridge, available beer and soft drinks, wonderful breakfast and helpful advice about the surrounding area all contributed to our comfort. We would have no hesitation in booking again.
Tips:Surfing lessons are great fun and the St.Ives Surf School on Porthmeor Beach are sure to look after you. Shop and restaurant prices seem to have risen in St.Ives but the beaches and harbour are still wonderful places to visit. We loved the boat trip to Seal Island and found a cosy old style pub at The Cornish Arms on St.Ives Road near Chy an Gwedhen.

Super room with great view over Carbis Bay and Hayle Sands. Quiet location with easy access to coastal path walk into St Ives. Extremely helpful and friendly hosts, super choices for breakfast. Parking an additional bonus.
Tips:A bonus staying out of the busy centre of St Ives with a lovely 15 minute coastal path walk into town, but you can also find lovely walks from the house, such as up to the steeple or around the gardens of Tregenna Castle. Barbara Hepworth studio and garden is a must, and the gallery at the Wharf. The Carbis Bay restaurant is very good, as well as Porthgwidden cafe and the seafood restaurant in Fore Street. Do explore all the beaches and the lovely headland over Clodgy.

Breakfast is delicious and the menu options are plentiful. We have litterly nothing to fault. Hedi and Peres advise for local pubs and food were beyond helpful and delicious!! It was our first time in Cornwall/St ives and it’s definitely stolen my heart this Easter! I would stay with these guys again in a hurry.

The coast path is not usable at night (no lamps), but you can either walk along the road or take a bus or taxi.

Friendly welcoming hosts that nothing was to much trouble for them.excellent breakfast with extensive menu.The room was the essence of cleanliness with some useful additional little touches. We arrived strangers, but left feeling like friends. We would defffinitely go there again and will recommend to family and friends. We had a very restful happy break. Next time we would try to get a sea view.
Tips:Carbis Bay is a must, it is a superb tropical looking beach and well worth using the coastal path beside the house to get there. 5 minutes walk down, but a bit of a pull back so allow a bit longer, however it’s well worth the effort. The Sloop Inn (The Captains Table) did very nice meals and the Cornish Arms is a stones throw away for a quiet drink. On a very nice day the open top bus will be a nice alternative to driving, as the view is spectacular over the hedge rows. It drops off at major attractions along the way. St Ives is a must too.

Genuine friendly owners who couldn't be more helpful. Lovely breakfast served at a set time. Clean room maintained daily. Would recommend this place to make you feel welcome and at home. Regular repeat customers visit. A bit of a walk into town but there are taxi companies recommended or buses. I would return again.
Tips:Visit the Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden. If you are artistic and interested in courses go to the St Ives School of painting for 3 day courses to inspire your artistic practice, all levels catered for. Would recommend the Sloop Inn for drinks with harbour view and the Captain's Restaurant above the Pub, Enjoy two steaks and a free bottle of wine. Porthmeor Beach is a must enjoy a Cocktail over watching the Sunset at the bar here, Enjoy!

Your bnb was centrally located at St Ives. Heidi and Pete made us feel very welcome in their bnb and provided us with excellent advice as to where to visit in the area and other points of interest. It was always great to start our day with a laugh about something we were talking about.
Tips:There is an excellent pub Cornish Arms across the road and a short walk away. It had an excellent menu and the food was top rate. The pub was very lively and the locals eat there too. St Ives is only a short ride way by car or bus to see the harbour and boats.

A perfect place to stay when visiting this part of Cornwall. The loveliest of walks using St Michael's Way and the coastal path into St Ives and Carbis Bay. It's stunning. Very helpful hosts who will tend to your every need be it travel directions or food options. My third visit. Planning more visits in the future.
Tips:There is a Tesco Supermarket with Café and a super pub all within 5 mins walking. All your needs catered for. After a very satisfying breakfast at the B & B, pick up a picnic lunch from Tesco, enjoy your day then have a delicious evening dinner in the pub. Plenty of local buses and taxis if you want to leave your car and go to St Ives for more pubs and restaurants. Or stroll down to St Ives by road or coastal path and taxi/bus back.

The rooms are nicely decorated, the location is great (very close to the seaside) and there is a variety to choose from at breakfast. The best B&B we've stayed in!
Tips:Beach Restaurant has great fish! Definitely go to Minack Theatre! Go to the lighthouse on the harbour (close to the Lifeboat Station)- you may see some seals!

Thank you for a wonderful time in your beautiful house. We really enjoyed your hospitality and the perfect breakfast. Our bedroom with stunning view to the sea was also really comfortable and stylish. On our trip through the south of England we appreciate the stay in your house most. Many greetings from Germany from Anja & Martin
Tips:St. Ives is an amazing place to stay because it is an absolute beautiful little town, a good place for watching the sunset and there are many things to do and a great choice of Pubs, Restaurants and Bars. We also can recommend the Pub 'Cornish Arms' which is close to Chy an Gwedhen and has very good food.

Pete & Heidi have done an excellent job creating a great base for anyone to explore Cornwall. They have a great ability to make strangers feel like friends. Always making themselves available to help. The place was spotless, modern, very comfortable and a joy to stay. If your looking for a place stay in St Ives then why would you choose anywhere else.
Tips:Book yourself a 'Pod' at the Porthmeor Cafe To enjoy a wonderful view, a bottle of white wine and a great selection of Tapas. If you are planning to visit Lands End park st Senne and walk the costal path (1 mile) to the spot. Cheaper parking but more importantly awesome views

The map included on the booking website was a bit lacking in detail. No street number or landmarks were included (close proximity to Sainburys would have been beneficial).

Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi Greg. Thanks for your review. To reply to your comments, our B and B has a name, Chy an gwedhen, no number! Also we are about 8 miles from the nearest Sainsbury's, did you mean Tesco? Our communication with new guests is very good and we always explain how to find us within the email sent to confirm the booking. If this didn't happen in your case then I apologise. Lastly you marked us down for location, however, you chose us! Perhaps a little more research is in order? Best wishes Pete and Heidi

If all B&B's were of the same quality as this one there would be less holiday makers leaving for foreign holidays. Everything about the place makes you feel comfortable and relaxed.

A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Friendly and helpful hosts - nothing was too much trouble to them. Would be very happy to stay there again if visiting that part of Cornwall. Excellent breakfasts.
Tips:We were very happy with the food at the local pub "The Cornish Arms"within a very short walking distance. Also "Becks" fish restaurant about 3/4 mile away is very good. Although they take a while to drive to, the "Eden Project" and the "Lost Gardens of Heligan" are well worth a visit. Also, St Ives is very pleasant and just a short bus ride away and St Michael's Mount a short drive.

Very welcoming and accoomadating. Made me feel very welcome. My only moan is the guests in the room above me where not very considerate of thier surroundings. Talking and banging about until the early hours. I would use and recommend in the future. Thank you.

Very pleased with my choice of accommodation. Location was perfect - straight out of garden onto coast path and just half an hour walk into St.Ives. Being able to leave the car and walk in was great. Super friendly people - and I appreciated being able to check in early. Everywhere was spotlessly clean with nice touches such as an honesty bar and guest fridge. Breakfast was ordered the night before- plenty of choice. When visiting St.Ives again will definitely check availability at Chy an Gwedhen. Thank you!

Recieved a very warm welcome on arrival. Pete and Heidi are very friendly and caring hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them. It really felt like our home from home. Have already booked to stay again.
Tips:An ideal base for people walking the SWCP as this is only a few yards away from the path. Tesco is very close by and handy for stocking up on sandwiches etc for walking. However, the breakfast at Chy an gwedhen will set you up for a good few hours. Excellent bus service and rail links close by. Numerous excellent restaurants in St Ives.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Hi Netta, Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure meeting and hosting. You were fantastic guests who enjoyed a laugh with us. We thank you for that. We are also looking forward very much to seeing you again at the end of the season. Best wishes Pete and Heidi

Tips:A must see is St. Michaels Mount, Marazion. Mousehole, Porthleven and Hell's Mouth, to mention just a few, are well worth a visit. The Mermaid Restaurant, Fish street for seafood.

Heidi and Pete were fantastic hosts and very helpful. The room had lovely views and the breakfast was excellent. It was a very pleasant 20 minute walk into the main area of St Ives but close to the bus if you don't want to walk. There is a good pub across the road. The beer is a bit expensive but the food is good. I

Brilliant couple who make you feel welcome as soon as you eventually ( private joke ) walk through the door and continued in the same vein throughout our stay.
Tips:St Ives has a multitude of excellent restaurants but the use of a taxi is recommended for anyone with any medical problem as the hills are quite steep and the parking in the town is not very good especially in high season.

Our welcome was warm and friendly. You put us at ease straight away. The whole house was spotlessly clean and well cared for too. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice and nicely cooked. The Haddock was cooked perfectly! One thing that might have made the breakfast room more relaxing would be to have some background music on low to fill in the quiet moments! !
