Thank you so much Fenella & Mark we had the most fantastic time celebrating our honeymoon! Your hospitality was superb and we really appreciated the Prosecco & strawberries as well as your delicious breakfast.

Fenella and Mark were great hosts and always happy to help and answer questions. Our room was lovely and we were pleasantly surprised with the pieces of cake on the afternoon of our second day and the cream tea and prosecco upon our arrival; a nice touch. Breakfasts were very good.

We had meals at the Porthminster Beach Cafe (OK) and the Ugly Butterfly (Great but expensive). You need to be a goat for walking up and down the hill to the beach. The £1 train ride from St Ives to the nearby Carbis Bay station was a life saver.

Unser Aufenthalt in diesem charmanten, schicken Bed and Breakfast war unvergesslich. Die Gastgeber waren äußerst freundlich und warmherzig, stets bemüht und hilfsbereit. Die stilvolle Einrichtung und die geschmackvoll eingerichteten Zimmer mit tollem Meerblick haben uns sofort begeistert. Der schöne, kleine Garten mit Terrasse, Loungemöbeln, Liegen und Sonnenschirmen war ein wunderbarer Ort zum Entspannen. Besonders aufmerksam fanden wir die für den Strandausflug bereitgestellten Strandmatten, Sonnenschirme und Windschutzelemente im Eingangsbereich für die Gäste. Es gab viele weitere schöne kleine Details wie z.B. ein Bonbonglas im Flur, jeden Nachmittag Kuchen auf dem Zimmer, Kuscheldecken für die Terrasse und den Garten, die "Honesty-Bar" mit Selbstbedienung für z.B. ein schönes Glas Wein am Abend sowie Zeitschriften und Bücher im ganzen Haus. Das leckere, frisch zubereitete Frühstück, sowohl als Buffet als auch à la carte, ließ keine Wünsche offen und wir konnten es im schönen Wintergarten mit Blick auf die Bucht von Carbis Bay jeden Tag genießen. Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder und sind begeistert von diesem wunderschönen Bed and Breakfast. Unser Dank geht an Mark und Fenella, die liebsten Gastgeber die man sich vorstellen kann!!!

Die Lage ist perfekt. Sowohl für Strandtage, Wanderungen, schöne Spaziergänge, leckere Restaurants (vielen Dank für die tollen Empfehlungen Mark) oder der Erkundung der Umgebung und Südcornwalls. Headland House ist der perfekte Ort für Urlauber die gerne individuell Reisen und eine geschmackvolle, gehobene, ruhige und persönlche Unterkunft suchen.

We stayed at Headland House for 2 nights while attending a wedding. Mark & Fenella made us feel very welcome. Room was gorgeous and bed very comfortable. Lots of choice for breakfast and very tasty. Lovely cream tea welcome in our room when we arrived and red velvet cake on our second day (we booked directly though them, not sure if this is available through a 3rd party booking). Would definitely recommend.

Carbis Bay station is only a 2min walk from Headland House, the train will take you into St Ives and takes a matter of minutes, easier (and quicker) than driving in and parking. Walking in to St Ives is also very easy as you are on the South West Coast Path.

Tolle, gemütliche, heimelige Unterkunft mit sehr, sehr netten Gastgebern, Fenella und Mark. Ausgezeichnettes Frühstück, liebvoll zubereitet, läßt keinen Wunsch offen.

Viele Ziele leicht mit dem Auto erreichbar. Nach St. Ives geht halbstündlich der Zug, Bahnhof 5 min vom Headland House. Unse Lieblingsrestaurant La Casita (spanisch-italienisch) 500 m entfernt. Fenella und Mark geben super Tipps für Ausflüge und auch Geheimtipps für nicht so touristische Ziele.

We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Our hosts offered lots of hints and tips about local restaurants and easy accessible walking routes to get to nearby St Ives. We received complimentary Prosecco on arrival and cakes in the afternoon. We were also provided with beach towels upon request. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. The area is very quiet and lovely garden facilities to relax in the sun. Would definitely stay again.

Train station is a 5 minute walk away and costs £1 to get to St Ives, trains every 30 mins into the evening. Beach is a short stroll down the hill and has a blue flag award. A beautiful location. It takes 30 mins to stroll along the coast path into St Ives.

A very welcoming and relaxing B&B. Extremely comfortable bed, excellent bathroom facilities and a high quality, and generous, breakfast.

Highly recommended.

Wonderful B&B, lovely warm welcome and all the little touches such as the cake in the room every afternoon and the fridge in the room with fresh milk etc all add to a really brilliant experience. Breakfast is excellent too.

The coastal path walk to St Ives is lovely and not too far. And if you're too tired to walk back after a day in St Ives there is the trainline at only £1 to take you back to Carbis Bay. It's a beautiful location and a stunning part of the world. Keep an eye out for seals playing in the sea as you walk to St Ives!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2023:

Thank you for making our trip that little bit more special with your exception hospitality. The little extras of cake in a morning and the bottle of rose were above and beyond what we expected. We received a fantastic welcome from Mark who was also able to provide extensive knowledge of the area with it been our first time in the area. We will definitely be booking to stay with you all again next year. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend.

We spent a lot of time chilling and walking around the area but 2 restaurant I would recommend are the Firehouse and Pedn Olva.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2023:

Mark and Fenella immediately make you feel at home, in their attractively furnished hotel, with special touches such as a cream tea welcome, a glass of fizz and, in our case, a private tropical garden to sit and relax in. Heligan, our room, was cosy and well equipped, including a slipper bath and over shower, in the Ensuite. Generous suggestions for places to eat/visit, were given by both hosts, which were most appreciated. All in all, a fabulous stay… Thank you.

5 minute train ride to St Ives, even allows use of rail passes to reduce costs. Carbis Bay has a sandy beach and is a great place for swimming. Tasty fish and chips at Beck’s in Carbis Bay town centre. Fine dining in Carbis Bay, on the beach.

Would Recommend: Yes

Perfect absolutely perfect, such amazing hosts cannot do enough for you, rooms spacious clean and everything you will ever need, tea coffee, all provided fresh cake everyday, a fridge is located in the room with fresh milk and bottled water daily, breakfast also outstanding so many choices cooked fresh with lots of juices etc also provided.

The hotel is 5 min walk down the hill to the train station for £1 each you can be in St Ives in no time as it’s only 1 stop away from Carbis bay, alternatively walk to the bottom of hill (quite steep so be prepared for walking back up) to the beautiful Carbis Bay beach where there are lovely restaurants, bars etc cannot recommend this bed and breakfast enough you will not be disappointed at all.

30th August 2023:

We have been to Headland House a number of times and each visit has always been wonderful . Fenella and Mark are perfect hosts of this beautifully appointed bed and breakfast hotel. The position is perfect especially if you enjoy coastal walks . You’ll enjoy the fabulous breakfast to start off the day. Just go there and I’m sure you’ll be as happy as we were . Jackie & Anthony

Restaurants we enjoyed Porthwidden Beach, The Cellar, Blas . It’s worth visiting the Minnack outside theatre overlooking the ocean and even better if there is a play on. Marazion and go over to St Michael’s Mount from there. And there is so much more to explore.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2023:

Amazing location and friendly welcome, with extra touches having been well thought through. Breakfasts very good. Prosecco on arrival welcomed. Ty.

Cellar Bistro, Porthminster, and The Beach Cafe excellent for food. Beach Cafe is very good value for money.Harbour Fish and Chips excellent food.....Best mussels in St Ives (according to husband). Quick one stop train to St Ives or 30 minute coastal walk. (Torch required on way back at night). 1.8 miles with a couple little hills, but easy under foot. St Michael's Mount, Land's End, Kynance Cove, glass bottom boat trip (Nemo).

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2023:

Falling asleep in the lounge chairs in the back yard overlooking the sea and surrounding by palm trees and lavender bushes, we marveled at the beauty of Cornwall. Mark and Fenella not only made a scrumptious breakfast each morning, but to top it off, Mark shared his single malt with me. We honestly felt like friends, only we were treated better than you'd treat your friends. I can't say enough good about this place and its people, and already dream of a return.

Get a massage at the Canbis Bay Hotel Spa. Make reservations early in your stay to eat at the Cellar Bistro in St. Ives. Visit the charming village of Mosehole and stop by the fish mongers in Newlyn. Walk (and swim) in the uncrowded but breathtakingly beautiful beach at Godrevy Point in Hale.

We had a wonderful stay, the best we have stayed in by far

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2023:

Dear Mark & Fenella, We totally enjoyed our stay in your excellent B&B. We especially appreciated your little fridge with chilled water and milk, the view from our room, your daily offerings of cake in our room, your advice on options getting to & from St. Ives & places to visit & dine there, and your very helpful assistance with choosing Carbis Bay train station to get off and especially with finding options when our train was delayed on departure day. We'll send our friends! All the best, Burt & Sandra

If coming by train, be sure to get off at Carbis Bay station rather than go all the way into St. Ives. Headland House is only 150 yards up the hill. Great food & drinks at the Rum Crab Shack. Don't forget: Cornwall is the birthplace of the pasty and they're wonderful here. If the weather is right, consider enjoying the beaches and hike the Southwest Coast Trail into St. Ives. Enjoy!

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd August 2023:

A lovely Boutique B&B. Mark & Fenella and the team are so approachable and do their utmost to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. Beautiful rooms and garden. Delicious breakfasts.

Carbis Bay Beach is so beautiful, and especially good to visit during the mornings and evenings. Stoned in St Ives is great for pizzas. St Mawes and St Mawes castle are amazing well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th August 2023:

Fenella, you're the real legend!😜 Thanks for looking after us! Kind Regards Kurt & Katy

After a few days camping in Torquay my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to a few days stay in Carbis. Thought we'd give Headland B&B a try, we weren't disappointed! From day one we were greeted with a superior service. Mark our host is a real gent. Nothing is too much trouble. Not that you'd need anything, Mark and Fenella have thought of everything they really have gone above and beyond what you expect. Goes without saying the location is stunning as was the view from our nicely appointed room. The breakfast is nothing less than *FANTASTIC* We'll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended. *Tip* book direct to enjoy their free parking and a little surprise in your room everyday after it has been turned down 😉

Just a short walk down to the lovely Carbis bay beach. Leave the car and get the train to St.ives, only one stop and only one pound. There are plenty of places to eat but you may need to book as it does get busy.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2023:

Our stay at Headland House was lovely. The accommodations were so unique and unlike and hotels we have stayed at before. It really added to the charm of St. Ives and as first time visitors we will be sure to make our way back. Mark and Fanella were lovely hosts and did so much to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Spend a day at the local beach rather than the big one in St. Ives. Also take the 30 minute hike into town as it’s a lovely walk!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th July 2023:

Was für eine wunderbare Unterkunft. Marc und Fanella sind perfekte Gastgeber. Wir haben zahlreiche Tipps erhalten und alle waren Volltreffer. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, komfortable und es fehlt an nichts. Fanella zaubert ein traumhaftes Frühstück und verwöhnt mit selbstgemachtem Kuchen. Die Lage könnte nicht besser sein. Das Haus liegt am Hang mit Blick aufs Meer. Der kleine Pendelzug bringt einen entlang der Küste nach St. Ives. Wir kommen wieder!

Unbedingt in die Tate Gallery gehen. Allein das Gebäude ist die Tour schon wert. Die Bahnfahrt ist sehr schön, weil man an den wunderschönen Stränden vorbeikommt. Aber auch der Weg von St. Ives zum B&B (ca. 45 Min.) lohnt sich.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2023:

Very friendly owners and very attentive,the location & views from the accommodation were amazing!

La casita restaurant very close and excellent food. The train 5 mins walk from the accommodation is fantastic to get to St Ives in 5 mins for £2

2nd July 2023:

A lovely friendly welcome from Mark and Fenella who are perfect hosts. The breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice. The location in Carbis Bay is perfect, just outside the hustle and bustle of St.Ives yet only a stroll or train ride away. Car parking is a big plus. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to re-visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2023:

Mark and Fenella are very welcoming. The B&B is beautiful not to big not to small with lots of room choices. We stayed in the net loft as wanted our own entrance to come and go as we please. The room was nice and clean and serviced daily. We also had a lovely bath tub and a king bed. Lots of choices for breakfast you definitely will not go hungry. Overall a wonderful stay.

Definitely use the local train which is located at the bottom of the hill a 5 minute walk from Headland House. This takes you into St Ives in 3 minutes. Lots of beautiful walks mostly costal on your doorstep. If eating in St Ives, try the smaller restaurants but all get busy. We did the Rum Shack the food was average but good atmosphere, Lots of places to drink we found all were pretty good. The Mermaid has lovely food to but also gets busy so pre book. You must travel to St Michaels Mount it’s beautiful and we had afternoon tea at the Harbour Loft. The Minnack and Porthcurno beach again a must see along with Mousehole, Lands end, Godrevy lighthouse for the seals and Zennor the most beautiful scenic drive and The Tinner offers a great pub lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th June 2023:

This was our 3rd visit to Headland House which goes some way to demonstrating how highly we rate it! Fenella and Mark are the most welcoming of hosts and go out of their way to make sure that you have everything you need. They leave lovely treats in your room every day and as it was our anniversary - they gave us a lovely bottle of fizz. Delightful place in a beautiful setting away from the crowds at St Ives. Outstanding.

The Tate at St Ives is a must see - followed by lunch at the Porthmeor Beach Café (we booked in April to get a pod) you have to book everywhere at this time of year otherwise you will be waiting for ages. The Leach Pottery is charming and The Hepworth museum is fabulous. The beach at Carbis Bay is nicer than any others around with lunch available at the Carbis Bay Hotel which is now expensive since G7 was held there. Our best meal this year was at the Porthminster Beach Café - again you have to book. Lobsters straight out of the sea! Everything local is accessible by train which is a short walk from Headland House. We also visited Mousehole and Praa Sands.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2023:

A luxurious, exceptional and relaxing experience. A beautiful garden to relax with views of the sea with a welcoming glass of Prosecco on arrival. A fantastic breakfast which was of a high standard. Mark and Fenella made us very welcome. We will definitely return in the future. Thank you.

A quiet location with a short walk to Carbis Bay beach, the train station to access St Ives. Many places to eat quality food in walking distance or a short train ride. Beautiful walks and stunning coastline in the region.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2023:

Really pleasant accommodation in a lovely house and a breakfast to suit any taste.

The train and bus links with St Ives are good and the beach is simply down the hill. La Casita offers excellent evening meals - although booking is needed.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd June 2023:

Mark and Fenella were exemplary hosts, making us feel at ease from the moment we arrived until we checked out on our last day. The room was beautiful: elegantly designed, spotless, and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was delicious - there was a generous selection and everything was cooked perfectly. We both agreed that this is the best B n B we’ve been to, and we can’t wait to come back.

St Michael’s Mount was a great highlight, easily reachable by train and bus in less than an hour - although steps and steep hill are quite challenging, especially in wet weather, so come prepared. Go up to the little chapel on the hill in St Ives for sunset (Mt Zion?) - if you time it just right, you will see the most stunning ocean view from the elevated position - as well as of the whole of St Ives.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2023:

If you are looking for a place to stay where you feel welcomed and special then Headland House B&B is the place to book. A beautifully and tastefully decorated house, a real home from home but better, with the most welcoming of hosts, Mark and Fenella, who could not have been more caring and helpful throughout our stay. Very interesting people to talk with who have a wealth of knowledge of the local area and places to visit and eat. We loved the delicious cake left in our room every afternoon, fresh milk and a wonderful treat for my birthday. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough and will definitely visit again. We had Room 3 (Cape Cornwall) which has a large bedroom with a wonderful bathroom and although it does not have a sea view, it really is a very special room. Lovely White Company toiletries too and plenty of hot drinks options from hot chocolate and marshmallows, fruit teas and Nespresso coffee pods all available with fresh milk and water in a silent fridge in the room. Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before and I can recommend the vegetarian option - I can’t remember the last time I had fried bread! My husband had the scrambled egg and smoked salmon all three days we stayed as he loved it so much. You certainly won’t be disappointed if you book Headland House for a holiday or a place to stay if working in the area.

Book directly with Mark and Fenella rather than through an agency to get free parking and a delicious cream tea on your arrival. The train station to St Ives is only a few minutes walk away and is an ideal way to travel at only £1 per person each way! We went on the seal island boat trip from St Ives and ate at Porthmeor Beach Cafe and Talay Thai Restaurant both which can be recommended.

We stayed at Headland House for our Honeymoon and it was idyllic. The room and house are very stylish and had such a homely feel. Mark and Fenella went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, like making sure we had cushions for a show at the Minack Theatre (much recommended). The breakfast is incredible, you will not go hungry, and the cake is a lovely touch. We will remember our trip forever, thank you for making it special :-)

The Bean Inn - excellent Vegetarian restaurant nearby. Minack Theatre is jawdropping, book a show in advance though. Surfing lesson in St Ives was loads of fun!

Would Recommend: Yes

Highly recommended.

We were staying for a wedding locally so the location was perfect for Carbis bay, but also for St Ives, Just one stop on the train. We were given a warm welcome. Breakfast was exceptional, nice touches like smoothies made it top notch.

Carbis bay beach is a short walk downhill. Very clean with good facilities. Take the train to St Ives, one stop, don’t try to park. It was buzzing. We were there when they had the artists weekend: book ahead for restaurants so you’re not disappointed.

Best Bed & Breakfast experience we've had, in reality more like a high end hotel but with a personalised service. Breakfasts were amazing and kept us full until evening with the cheeky cake in the afternoon also provided. We stayed in the net loft room, spacious, comfortable and plush. Mark and Fenella were lovely throughout and gave us excellent tips for visiting the area. Thank you again.

Try to book into Porthmeor Beach Cafe for a lovely meal on the sea. We also enjoyed the Bean Inn vegetarian restaurant 15 mins walk and a 5 min walk up the road la casita for Mexican tapas, pizza etc. The Barbara Hepworth museum was excellent well worth a visit, we really enjoyed the 30 mins walk into St Ives from the B&B and when we had walked enough the train station 5mins walk and 3 min journey for a £1.

This was our second stay this year at this superb bed and breakfast so you can guess what we think of it! What a find it has been. Fantastic location with jaw dropping views, the owners are so friendly and helpful, the rooms are very clean and we love those additional touches like having a mini fridge in the room and providing a scrumptious piece of cake in your room every afternoon. Breakfast is well worth looking forward to. So much choice and the quality and presentation is first class. Parking is provided which is one main thing I look at when booking a holiday. It takes the stress away knowing that when you’ve had a day out they’ll be a space available. Thank you to everyone at the Headland House Luxury Bed and Breakfast for making this latest stay so memorable. We love everything about it.

The bed and breakfast is superbly located for trips out to so many beautiful towns and locations. We recommend trips to Godrevy, St Michaels Mount, Lands End and Porthreath. They are all within a few miles of the bed and breakfast and we went by car. If you go to Lands End park at nearby Sennen Cove and walk along the coastal path to Lands End. You won’t be disappointed at anywhere you go to be honest. Of course St Ives is a must and we did this very short trip everyday by using the train. The station is a few hundred yards from the bed and breakfast. There is the coastal walk which we recommend and takes about 25 minutes. To be honest the breakfasts provided at the bed and breakfast were so nice and filling we didn’t need much for the rest of the day. However there are plenty of eating places in St Ives. We used the chippy next to the Life boat station on two occasions. Lovely Cornish sausage and chips! Watch out for the seagulls though as they will pounce when you least expect it!

The hosts go beyond what you would expect from a bed and breakfast / hotel. This establishment very comfortably sits within the luxury category of accommodation. The decor and finishes are first class. The hosts are very attentive, the breakfast is fantastic along with the service and the bedrooms are so comfortable you never want to leave. I can't fault this hotel.

You are spoilt for choice at St Ives. All establishments are high in standard. So do your homework and book in advance. I recommend LITTLE PALAIS.

Mark and Fennela were amazing hosts and could not do enough for you. The breakfast was excellent although you put your order in the night before nothing was a problem if you changed your mind, added or took off. Also would do any requests. Simply the best place we have stayed for a very long time! The walk down to the beach is a way but Mark helped us with a different route which was 100 times easier. Can’t recommend this little gem enough. We are rebooking!!!

Anything you want to know or do Mark and Fennela are extremely knowledgeable about local information, restaurants, trips, beaches and pubs. However I would recommend the breakfast, afternoon tea or dinner cruise at Falmouth. Which Mark knew of so he could fill you in with the info. We stayed for 8 nights and could of stayed longer at their little gem! ❤️❤️

Form the moment we arrived we felt welcome and we were able to relax and enjoy our break . Mark is a great host and Fenella also so lovely and friendly, you felt part of a big family . The staff that support them are great and this is a fantastic place to enjoy the incredible scenic surroundings .

The local beaches are paradise the restaurants in St Ives lovely but book online before you travel in peak season as you’ll struggle to get into the good ones . Carbis bay is a dream location with a stunning beach. The costal train to At Ives for £1 rtn is a life saver.

Excellent welcome brief. Fantastic breakfast choice and gf accommodated (advise in advance). Lovely room which had well thought through extras. Well located for both parking, train, short coastal walk, views.

Walk to St Ives only 40 mins and relatively easy under foot. A few slopes but nothing major and smooth under foot. Take torch at night as unlit. St Michael's Mont-brilliant but book in advance. Common sense, but book good restaurants in advance. Porthminster Kitchen and Cellar Bistro excellent. Porthleven worth a visit if dry to sit outside on the harbour.

We Had such a lovely stay at Headland House. It was even more beautiful than expected! The grounds were so beautiful kept, with a cute hammock and space to relax in the sunshine with views of the sea. We were welcomed by Fenella who couldn’t have been more helpful, prosecco on arrival and scones in the room ready and waiting. Our room was extremely spacious and clean. The location was great for us and just by carbis bay. I can’t recommend Headland house enough! ♥️

Beautiful coastal walks into town Make sure you bring a comfy pair of trainers as you will be walking a lot and it’s quite hilly around carbis bay and st Ives.

Very friendly, beautiful setting with amazing views. The rooms where very comfortable & clean. We loved the nice touch of leaving cake every afternoon most welcome with a nice coffee when we returned after a day out. Really enjoyed the cream tea with Prosecco on arrival. The outside decking with comfortable seating was lovely & again a nice touch to leave throws out if it got a bit chilly. The breakfast was amazing so much choice and very tasty. We would definitely return and may even bring friends with us next time. Thank you

I had a wonderful stay at Headland House. Ideally located a few mins by train from St Ives, Headland House offers a home away from home. Fenella and Mark, the owners, are very personable and do everything to make your stay easy and cosy. The rooms are beautifully decorated, beds super comfy, and really clean. I particularly enjoyed the breakfasts - everything I had was delicious. While you could help yourself to cereals, I loved how you could pre-order cooked breakfast and local yoghurt the night before meaning much less waste. I also loved how you came back from a day out to cake in your room and proper milk in the fridge to make a cuppa.

There aren't many restaurants in Carbis Bay. I stayed local for dinners but many other guests popped into St Ives. Choices locally are few but very good - La Casita and the Gannet Inn are 5 mins away on foot, as is the Carbis Bay hotel with its restaurants, but book in advance in peak season.

Fennella and Mark and the Team are very gracious hosts who make your stay a very special one, the rooms are lovelly and the decor outstanding.

By far the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. We felt so looked after and the whole stay was an experience in itself. The Boat Room was absolutely beautiful and very well kept, and each morning was made a delight by the choice of breakfast and stunning view. Mark, Fenella and their team are so friendly and welcoming and I was genuinely sad to be leaving. Thank you Headland House for providing such an amazing place to stay.

Amazing staff, facilities and location. This is the second time that I have stayed, and I will definitely be going back. The B and B is in a great location and it’s easy to get into st Ives or surrounding villages by foot or train. I can’t fault this property at all !

If visiting in peak season, book restaurants ahead of time. We went to Porthminster beach cafe for lunch whilst there in August, however I’d booked in April. Apparently the place had been booked out for 10 weeks. We also visited a lovely vegetarian restaurant in Carbis Bay called “The Bean Inn”. Absolutely amazing food there too!

I stayed here with my brother and the owners made us feel right at home! They were very helpful as one of us have a peanut allergy too. Our room was was small but very cosy. The bathroom was lovely!

Only thing to note is that the building isn’t accessible to anyone with severe mobility issues as there’s no lift and some sets of stairs to enter. But if that’s no issue then I highly recommend!

The Curry Garden in St Ives serves great Indian food. Doesn't serve alcohol but you can take your own! Minack theatre well worth a visit even if you are not seeing a performance.

We had a most fantastic three night stay at the superb Headland House Luxury B and B. Mark, Fenella and their staff were fantastic and the food was delicious. We stayed in the Porthminster de luxe ocean king room and wow what a view. The room had everything you needed including a mini fridge, which is so useful, to pieces of cake waiting for you when you arrived after a day out. It is faultless and even ‘Bear’ their lovely cat was most welcoming. We would definitely recommend staying here.

The B and B is ideally located for visits to a lot of beautiful places in Cornwall. We visited Lands End and Marazion which we highly suggest guests visit. There are plenty of lovely restaurants and take aways in St Ives. We suggest that although there is a very short train trip from Carbis Bay to St Ives that guests at least on one occasion walk the coastal path as the views are stunning.

From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome by Fenella. We were given our room key and poured a glass of Prosecco which was a lovely touch, likewise the cream tea in our room. Breakfasts were great with an lovely selection which fuelled us all day.

Headland House is in a great location with train station 2 minutes down the hill where you can travel the one stop to St.Ives, so no need to take the car. St.Ives is home to many pubs and restaurants as well as a lovely sandy beach. We visited several gardens and enjoyed lots of walking, all easily accessible.

Really well organised little hotel, with lovely staff in an amazing location (just yards from Carbis Bay beach and the railway station). The breakfast was very good and the portions were enough to keep us going most of the day, and there was always a new slice of cake in the room when we returned in the afternoon! We will definitely be visiting again!

Walking out from the hotel you can easily pick up the coastal path that takes you down into St. Ives and beyond, and the views from the path are amazing. It is very hilly though, so if you have mobility problems it may be best to take the train - the station is in the next street to the hotel and it takes just over 2mins and cost £1 each way to get to St. Ives. Carbis Bay beach is just at the bottom of the hill from the hotel, is very quiet with calm waters, but has no RNLI lifeguard. Porthminster beach is a little bit further north, just on the edge of St. Ives and has body board, kayak and paddle board hire, RNLI lifeguards on duty, a beach shop and a BBQ... it's great and can either be reached on foot along the coastal path or on the train. We never used the car in our 3 full days there, finding lots to do just on that piece of shoreline, but it isn't far by car to Hayle beach, St. Michaels Mount or any of the other Cornwall attractions.

Both myself and my husband agree that this is the best bed and breakfast we’ve ever stayed in. Both Mark and Fenella were lovely and very welcoming, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The room was lovely, beautiful views and even delicious treats left for us in the room! Breakfast was super delicious and filled us up right up until tea time! We would both definitely recommend staying here!

La Casita - just up the road was delicious! Highly recommend eating here.

Mark & Fenella were a warm obliging & tentative couple. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome & for our stay to be totally perfect! Mark cooked an amazing breakfast every day & we had lots of little goodies when we came home each evening. Nothing was too much trouble to them. Can’t wait to return to Headland House soon!

To try Walters on the beach restaurant! Absolutely delicious food!

Would Recommend: Yes

A luxuriously appointed room, great attention to detail (sherry and home made cakes in the afternoon, yum). Delicious breakfast with a very large choice of healthy options as well as the more traditional. Spotlessly clean. A very attentive host who made us feel very welcome. Secure parking. A very relaxing stay - we will be back soon!

Take the train into St Ives - a beautiful trip and regular service, much better than struggling to park in the town - It's only a 30 second walk from Headland House too!

Would Recommend: Yes

We always enjoy our stay at Headland House. Breakfasts are the best of any hotels we stay at,plenty of choice and always cooked fresh. Hosts are brilliant and always advise places of interest and good restaurants. We are looking forward to our next stay. Thank you again for a lovely 5 days.

Visit to Porthleven ,with lunch or dinner at Harbourside refuge is a must.

Beautiful B&B, brilliant location and staff were lovely and really helpful and lovely. Providing us information about where to go and how to get there

Take train to St Ives other beaches and towns, station down the round and takes 2 mins to St Ives and costs just £2. If you drive got to Serren Cove and Lands End. Restaurants I would recommend Ugly Butterfly (it is expensive) in Carbis Bay so 2 min walk from B&B. Also La Casitas again down the road 2 min walk

Would Recommend: Yes

This was a delightful property. The host was attentive and there were little touches which made you feel welcome. A cream tea was in my room on arrival along with a glass of sherry. I was given a glass of Prosecco on arrival. Every little detail had been considered. There were mugs with coffee and glass hot chocolate glasses with sachets of hot chocolate. Fresh water and milk in the fridge. Breakfast was high quality and well laid out with little jugs of iced orange juice .

Warm welcome from friendly hosts, tasteful decor, comfy bed, sea view, fab breakfast and extras. Very restful stay. Great having small fridge to store drinks.

We avoided being inside bars or cafes due to Covid. We prebooked restaurants in St Ives (essential) and travelled in on the train. Some great places to visit which are not crowded like Godrevy Lighthouse.

Fenella and Mark gave us a warm welcome and shared their local knowledge to ensure a great stay. We loved Mark’s stories and will remember them with a smile. Headland House is in a brilliant location and beautifully decorated with many interesting things that have I’m sure we’re carefully chosen. Great attention to an amazing breakfast. Needless to say, we’ll be back !

The train into St Ives is by far the best way to get there and the cheapest. The shops are interesting and great for some lovely gifts. David King jewellers has been my favourite for many years. Porthmeor Beach Cafe is always a favourite too and serves delicious food.

Would Recommend: Yes

Second stay here and wasn’t long enough wished we could have stayed longer! Not sure i want to share as we love it so much!

Amazing hosts and beautifully kept boutique B&B in an amazing location and with stunning views across Carbis Bay. Breakfast is hearty and delicious and served with smiles. Mark and Fenella add their sparkle on top to create and deliver a premium holiday recipe.

Worth booking restaurants well in advance during peak months. Short 10 min stroll to the beach, 5 minute stroll to the train and 3 minute train ride into the heart of St Ives. Easy access for exploring all of the Cornwall surrounding area.
