Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2024:

We had a quiet and relaxing stay. Lynn helped to make our time at 3 Porthminster enjoyable with her friendly, helpful and attentive approach. Our room (No. 1) was spacious with a good view of the coast. Off street parking was available which was a bonus. The location in St Ives is excellent for strolling into town, venturing off on the coastal footpath and for catching the train giving a scenic ride along the coast.

Based on our previous experience staying in St Ives, we booked our restaurants in advanced of arrival as it was still likely to be busy in the town. There are plenty of choices to be had. We timed our visit for the St Ives art and musical festival fortnight. There is plenty to see and we enjoyed some great live music in the pubs in town.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st October 2024:

This is the second time we have stayed at 3 Porthminster this year, we cannot fault anything here, hence why we returned. It is spotlessly clean, the breakfast is delicious, nothing is too much trouble for Lynn she is an amazing host. Thank you for another memorable holiday.

Ask about service charges in restaurants, as many are charging now. Also you need to pre book.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly welcome, incredibly clean throughout, freshly cooked breakfast, lovely view from bedroom. I wasn’t a number but a person - I was known by my name and not room number! Nothing was a problem. I would definitely return!

This is the best b&b ever! Lynn is the best source of up to date information and events

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2024:

This was our 4th stay at 3 Porthminster B&B. Lynn and John are the perfect hosts. Lynn can share local knowledge. The breakfast is pre-order with a delicious selection and veggie breakfast available with homemade veggie sausages. The produce is top quality. Plenty of tea and coffee options available in the room which you can top up at any time, even biscuits! They provide a mini fridge in the hallway with mini glass bottles of fresh milk and large bottles of filtered water. You can even store personal items in the fridge. They provide cutlery in the dining room each evening if you wish to have a takeaway. The rooms are spotlessly clean, fresh and tastefully decorated. The bed linen is very fresh smelling. They always do their best to accommodate free parking on their driveway. We have always benefited from this. Conveniently located a short walk from the train station, beach and town. Love this place and can’t wait to return.

Plenty of choice of restaurants and bars in the town and harbour.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2024:

Porthminster 3 B&B is a marvellously run guest house by Lyn and John. It was spotlessly clean, our room was spacious, tastefully decorated,modern,with a comfortable bed and wonderful seaview. Breakfast was really good that set you up for the day. A lovely touch was the birthday card Lyn sent to my wife which was so kind and thoughtful. Thoroughly recommend staying here. Beautifully situated and so professionally ran.

Places to visit. Eden Project. The beaches. You can't go wrong in Cornwall. Restaurants in St. Ives. Porthmeor beach cafe. Outstanding. Harbour Fish Bar. Porthminster beach bar for a special occasion though it is pricey with small portions. Pubs. The Lifeboat and Union Inn. There is one on way to Porthminster beach with outstanding Seaview.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2024:

We found Lynn very warm and welcoming when we arrived and throughout our stay. She showed us to our room and helped with our luggage. In the morning Lynn cooked us a delicious breakfast.

We ate at the Beach Restaurant on Wharf Road, also Reef and Beef on Fore Street, and Source Kitchen in The Digey. All very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th September 2024:

Another great week at 3 Porthminster. I am a regular guest as it is such a delightful stay. The welcome is warm but not intrusive. The house and rooms are fine, well decorated and furnished. The hospitality is first class, lovely breakfasts, fresh milk and filtered water provided. The location is good, up above Porthminster beach and a few minutes walk into the town centre, and to the rail station. Book early! Tony D.

21st August 2024:

3 Porthminster BnB is such a lovely place to stay. It felt like home away from home. Lynn was so warm and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing! The room we stayed in was quaint and comfortable and we got a great view of the harbour and sea views. Walking distance to the beach, harbour, and town centre which was great. And since we are Catholic Church goers it was wonderful to just walk to the Catholic Church (Sacred Heart and St. Ila Catholic Church) which was less than a five minute walk away. The only critique I would have is that there was no toothpaste provided. I wonder why a lot of establishments now don’t provide toothpaste unlike before? We will definitely come back and stay at this lovely BnB again!

Lovely walks to the beach and town centre but just be prepared for a slight steep walk up the road. There are stairs leading up to Porthminster road so this shouldn’t be a problem. We love to walk so it wasn’t a problem for us. St. Ives is such a lovely quaint costal town and everyone is so friendly. The harbour is beautiful but do be careful of the nasty seagulls and your ice cream and pasties they’ll swift to steal your food! lol! Over all our stay was amazing!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Recommend Reef and Beef restaurant for quality food.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2024:

Another wonderful stay with you. It's the perfect home base for us now and makes our holiday relaxing from the very beginning - as we know we are in for a lovely B&B experience. Your rooms are so fresh, bedding so soft - they feel lovely to come back to after a day outside. Hope to see you next year!

- Fisherman's Rest Cafe in Newlyn, tiny cafe but great for a hot drink and view of the boats - Leel Shop/Cafe - shells we collected from the beach are being cast in bronze as a special memento

The best place we have stayed in a long while. Excellent breakfast, lovely room. Lynn is an excellent host nothing was too much trouble. A table laid if you wanted to bring a meal back in the evening. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Fridge in the hallway with fresh milk, and able to put your own drinks in, a very thoughtful touch. Extremely high standard of cleanliness and decor is amazing. Thank you for making our holiday a lovely memory.

Book in advance for a restaurant, otherwise you may be disappointed.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2024:

You'd be hard pushed to find a better B&B in St. Ives. Everything was perfect. Location, cleanliness, breakfast options, and lots of lovely little touches. If I had one slight negative, it's that breakfast was a little restrictive from 8.15 - 9.00, and for us, a little early, but then we are retired!! We would definitely go back though!!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th July 2024:

Great location with benefit of private parking. Easy to walk down to the town centre. Steep walk back, as is all of the area. Good hearty breakfast and Lynn was a lovely host. Room 1 is both bright and airy with a fabulous uninterrupted sea view. Availability of the dining area if you have an evening takeaway plus a lounge area for relaxation. Fresh milk and filtered water always available in fridge in hallway for your supplied tea/coffee in your room. Would highly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th July 2024:

Friendly efficiency when booking with John. Room exactly as described and all very comfortable with good outlook. Quiet outside and within (no creaks or thumps!) Superb carpet and ensuite. Breakfasts excellent with thoughtful attention from Lynn. Useful to have Guests' fridge in hall. Pleasant sitting area at front. Tables set in evening so that guests may have their own takeaway meals. Much appreciated. Relaxed atmosphere, useful local info and altogether one of the best B&Bs we've stayed in!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2024:

Thank you for a lovely stay. The B&B is perfectly located, close to the station, the beautiful beach , and the centre of town. The rooms are extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean with sea views. We'll definitely be coming back!

I recommend a trip to Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth museum. St Ives Bakery does excellent Cornish pasties. Onzo restaurant on the harbour front does good pizza.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent room and facilities. So pleasant and welcoming. Good choice of breakfasts .Lynn and John….who we didn’t see as he was busy In the kitchen were excellent hosts.

The Reef and Beef in Fore street and The Beach restaurant on the Wharf are very good places to eat. We also found The Union pub also in Fore street was good food in a pub atmosphere. You will need to book tables in advance for the first two. Lots of individual shops to explore The beaches are great at Porthmeor and Porthminster

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2024:

Such a great place! Definitely an uphill walk from town/train station but easy enough once you've dropped your bags. Everything was very clean, beds were comfortable, breakfast was lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Good and nice room, as well as a nice reception.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th June 2024:

A great stay at Lynn and Johns B&B. We were running late for the arrival time and Lynn reassured us that John would be available to great us although they had already made plans for that evening. The place was clean and tidy, the breakfast was presentable and the hospitality was brilliant. Lynn is fab at what she does and guides you about things to do, parking, food places etc. The location was spot on, only 5 mins away from the beech, restaurants and shops and parking was available which was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend. Thank you to both of you.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st May 2024:

Lynn is kind and thoughtful. The B&B is a short walk from the train station in a quiet neighborhood, yet just a 4 minute walk into town. Ideal if you are car-less. We had one of the smaller rooms yet it was tasteful and comfortable with an interesting view of rooftops and sea in the distance. Breakfast was delicious. Each room also has an electric kettle and supplies for tea or coffee and a few biscuits. We would gladly return.

St Ives has so much to recommend. We walked the coastal path to Zennor- a challenging up and down hike on slippery rocks but gorgeous views and wildflowers at the end of May. We were able to take a bus back from Zennor to St Ives. The Barbara Hepworth museum and sculpture garden is a must see. There are many pocket beaches, cafes and restaurants. Lots of fun exploring to do. The only negative is the result of all of its positives: it seems every residence is to let or a B& B and that no locals live here any more.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2024:

As always, we very much enjoyed our stay. The much anticipated breakfasts were as superb as ever. Enjoyed the views towards the harbour from our bedroom window. 3 Porthminster exudes a calm and tranquil ambience which is highly appreciated. We had a lovely time and will look forward to returning in August. Many thanks!

Our current favourite restaurant in St. Ives is The Mex. Have not found a better Mexican restaurant anywhere else in the UK.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2024:

Great service and kind to pick us up and let our son use your parking area. No complaints at all we were made to feel welcome with all the extras and able to bring back takeaways. Thank you so much

Steep climb and steps from the town may not be suitable for people who are not fit and active and unable to walk. We enjoyed all that St Ives had to offer. Great location for bus and train stations. We can recommend Sanders fish restaurant in Hayle where we had a lovely meal before journey home. Glad we didn't bring our car as it was so busy in the town

Would Recommend: Yes

16th May 2024:

Very helpful. Friendly . And the breakfasts are excellent .

Any where in penwith is gorgeous. Especially recommend the open top bus go to Penzance to lands end and return lands end to st Ives . Penberth cove , porthcurno, and sennen are particularly fave places of mine .

Would Recommend: Yes

14th May 2024:

Everything was as we had hoped for and more, you were friendly and helpful without being intrusive which is what we like in a hostess. Your location is perfect for walking into the town with the added bonus of a parking space. We will certainly be back for another visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th May 2024:

I have been a regular traveller over many years, and I rate 3 Porthminster among the very best accommodations in the UK and abroad. The facilities, aesthetics, and attention to to the comfort and needs of guests are unparalleled.

St Ives is a gem of a place with a number of excellent restaurants and cafes - Porthmeor Beach Cafe, Source Kitchen for fine dining. The Barbara Hepworth museum and Garden and Tate, and many commercial galleries are with visiting. But walking in town and along the Coastal Path I lifts the soul.

Light and Airy B & B not far from the Harbour, restaurants & shops in beautiful St. Ives. Lynn was a lovely host, breakfast was very good and room was extremely clean with lovely view of the harbour. Would definitely stay at Porthminster B & B again.

Plenty of restaurants to pick from, would imagine you'd have to book in the busier periods. The train station is very close and tickets are extremely cheap (return) to visit further afield without having to take the car. Can get to other parts of Cornwall quite easily from here and St. Ives is one of the most beautiful English seaside places to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2023:

Perfect location, lovely breakfast, extra touches like milk, water, shower gel, nice decor. You could use dining room for a take away if you wanted. Quiet policy after ten. Host Lynn very friendly. Room was warm, so maybe a fan required. But we had a lovely stay and would stay again. Ten minute walk to harbor. All good.

As long as you can negotiate stairs it's a wonderful place to stay, close to town and railway station for trips out.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2023:

Excellent in every way. Lovely rooms, immaculate, and very comfortable beds. Super breakfasts. Chilled water and fresh milk provided. Lounge and outdoor terrace available for guests. Lynn and John unfailingly helpful and welcoming. Situated close to the town centre but in a quiet residential area. Highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2023:

One of the Best Bed and Breakfasts Place a we have stayed. The room (number 1 ) was lovely and it was nice having the view of bay. The location suited us well although you do need to be fit to come up the hill! Communication was excellent. Thankyou lynne

Lynn and John were fantastic hosts. Everything about our stay was perfect. Friendly,helpful,very clean and breakfast was always good. Cannot fault in any way.

Book restaurants in advance at busy times to avoid disappointment. We always found somewhere to eat in the evening and weren't disappointed with our choice. The Rajpoot Indian was superb. But there were a couple of restaurants we would have liked to go to and simply couldn't get in as they were booked weeks in advance.

We could not fault our stay at all and we will definitely be back..😃

Would Recommend: Yes

28th August 2023:

Cute place in the perfect location, would definitely come again! Short walking distance to the beach and center. We had a smaller room in the second floor but it had everything we needed including a view over st.Ives and the cry of the seagulls to wake up to. Loved the breakfast - especially the homemade vegetarian sausage! Lynn was super forthcoming and took the time to give us a long list of possible restaurants around St.Ives.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very homely b&b and very welcoming upon arrival, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here to family and friends when visiting St Ives.

5 minute walk into the main action of St Ives and also only a 20-25 minute drive away from Penzance for a day trip. Co-op only 5 minutes away for essentials and everything you could need.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th August 2023:

Excellent location, fantastic rooms, excellent service and breakfast. Lynn is an exceptional host.

Book everything in advance, but there is a wise choice of pubs, coffee shops, restaurants within a 10 minute walk. There are glorious beaches near by, again within a 10 minute walk from the B&B

We had a lovely stay at your place. We couldn't fault it, lovely and clean, comfy room and a delicious breakfast. We were made to feel welcome immediately, we really liked the option to have a take away in the dining room if needed. We loved the decor too. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we hope to come back and stay another time.

The walk to Carbis Bay is worthwhile and picturesque. We really liked the Bier Huis Grand Cafe, good selection of small plates and booze. Great atmosphere too.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th July 2023:

Another great stay, the room was beautiful. We loved having the extra space to relax in. We would have liked a small 'loveseat' sofa/chair in the window so we could both enjoy the view together, but otherwise room, breakfast etc was all perfect. Makes the holiday really easy for us - close to station and town. Everything we needed.

Peppers is our favourite restaurant for night one of the holiday after travelling. We found the Two Sisters shop this year in town, Elizabeth was so lovely and the clothing and products were gorgeous. We loved the sustainable, people driven companies they work with. We did a drawing class with Barnoon Arts this year which was fun, no pressure sketching tips. Moomaid is our favourite ice cream spot. And the St Ives Museum was a great rainy day place to explore.

Would Recommend: Yes

The beaches are all beautiful and walking distance from each other. Lots of lovely places to eat.

Lynn (I didn’t get to see John) is friendly and very helpful. The B&B is welcoming, bright and airy, with a lovely tranquil atmosphere. My room was spotless and everything was so well organised. I really enjoyed my stay, not forgetting the lovely breakfast.

As well as the usual galleries, a visit to The St Ives Museum is worthwhile. It’s packed with interesting local history and artefacts etc. relating to fishing, mining and lots lots more. The cafe/restaurant in The Tate. Lovely food and a fantastic view over Porthmeor Beach. It’s also open to customers who are not taking in the gallery. Mention it to the staff and they’ll direct you to take the lift to the top floor.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd June 2023:

We loved our stay at 3 Porthminster. The room itself was bright, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and everything was set out really well. We were in room 1, which has a big bay window looking out over St Ives Bay. A nice time spent watching boats and gulls and the beautiful coastline. Lynn is a lovely host and looked after us so well. Great breakfast each morning too!

Recommend Barbara Hepworth museum. Run by Tate, and housed in Hepworth’s studio and garden. Always a beautiful place to visit. Gurnards Head Hotel for lunch or dinner. A 15min drive out of St Ives, past the cute little village of Zennor. Quite pricey, but really great food. A lovely garden too, with spectacular views out to sea. We saw an incredible sunset from here. Porthmeor beach. In front of Tate St Ives. Beautiful spot for a swim or surf

Would Recommend: Yes

18th June 2023:

Cannot find fault. Pleasant room,clean, comfortable bed.sea view.staff very friendly and helpful.choice of cooked breakfast which was very good.

The b&b is on the top of a hill so be prepared for steps and a lot of walking. There are plenty of seafood restaurants but if you don't like fish there's mainly pizzas pasties,steak and burgers. The beaches are beautiful and their are a good number of art shops and clothes shops selling summer wear.

Would Recommend: Yes

Extremely friendly and helpful at all times. The bedroom was small but as I was staying alone it wasn't a problem. Great shower though. Thoughtful touches like fresh milk and bottled water available all the time . Very good breakfast. On site parking a plus. Even allowed visiting friends to use the car park as a space was available. Overall made my stay extremely enjoyable.

3 Porthminster is a 5***** holiday stay. It's location close to the Railway Station was ideal, above the beautiful Porthminster beach. The accommodation is first class and the welcome warm. There is great and thoughtful attention to guest's comfort, for example water and milk in the cooler and lounge with guides and books. Highly recommended. Breakfasts superb! Tony Delves.

Lynn and John are the best hosts. It’s our 3rd time staying in their B&B. They leave you to come and go and provide a wealth of information with their local knowledge and reading material. The rooms are stunning, exceptionally clean and the whole accommodation and dining area are welcoming with beautiful decor and soft furnishings. The breakfast is superb. They provide cereals, juice, chopped fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, homemade jams, delicious hot breakfast with homemade veggie sausage if you prefer. If you don’t want a cooked breakfast you can choose pancakes. Breakfast is preorder and served anytime from 815 to 9am. Toiletries provided and soft white fluffy towels. We stayed in room 2 which is slightly cheaper as it’s a bit smaller than the other rooms. Although the en-suite is very small in this room, it works well for us and it’s our 2nd time in that room. All other rooms are bigger with a bigger en-suite. Lynn and John provide free parking on their driveway. If going out for the day you need to tell other guests as you may need to swap cars around on the driveway. Lynn and John provide cutlery and plates in the dining area if you want to bring a take away back but we always eat out. Thanks again for a superb, comfortable stay!

Less than 8minutes walk to St ives train station, bus terminal and Porthminster beach. Located in a very quiet street despite being less than 8 minutes walk from all the shops, restaurants and harbour.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2022:

Very friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable about the area with suggestions of places to visit. Breakfast were very good. Ability to freshen up the items in the room was good. The ability to use the dining room to have a take in evening meal was a very nice thought as it is a long walk to the town in the evening. We have had two lovely stays .

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2022:

We really enjoyed our stay at 3 Porthminster B&B. The location was great for exploring St Ives on foot, we were never more than 10 mins away from our dinner reservations! Lyn was a wonderful host and we will hopefully be back soon!

Would Recommend: Yes

1st September 2022:

Absolutely loved our stay. A real home from home. Our room was lovely and bright with a comfortable bed and the view over St Ives harbour which looked like a picture. Spotlessly clean and excellent breakfast. Loved the quirky pieces of art. Thoughtful little touches with the cool water and fresh milk are a brilliant idea. Car parking was great and location was perfect for town and beach. Will definitely return. Keep up the good work. Thank you Lynn & John

The open top coaster bus is really good value for money, can get to see places without the problem of driving and finding parking spaces. Recommend Peppers Italian restaurant, Harbour fish & chips eat in, St Ives bakery for flaky pasties, Moomaid ice-cream parlour and Olives tea shop.

As anticipated, we had a very enjoyable stay at 3 Porthminster. The accommodation is impeccably clean and remains very attractive. A calm and relaxed atmosphere pervades the house and sets the tone for a rewarding holiday in St. Ives. Many thanks Lynn and John for another great stay.

Be prepared for the hills!! Pre-book restaurants that you really want to eat in as in high season not many walk-in tables available. Use local buses and trains to see lots of sights not accessible by car. £5 all day to ride on the hop on hop off open top buses.

Beautiful room, with a beautiful view of the sea. Excellent host (very attentive), lovely breakfast. Excellent location, 5 minutes from the town and beach; but far enough away to be away from the main hubbub to have a quiet relaxed evening/night.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th August 2022:

A lovely B&B with a really helpful host. Very attentive and willing to offer advice. The room was spotless, fresh and modern so when stayed felt like we were at home almost. Food was great, cooked with fresh quality ingredients and a good start to the day. Cannot recommend them enough.

The location is great, about five minute walk from the harbour. As the host told us, book restaurants in advance if viable. Places to visit: - Talay Thai Restaurant - St Ives Bakery - The Cellar Bistro - Beaches! - The Island (great views) - Blue Thunder Boat Trip (fast speed and exhilarating) plus you're likely to see the seals as we did - Malakoff bus station is nearby so can even do a day trip to Penzance or nearby towns. - Worth visiting also the specialist alcohol store they have, St Ives Brewery (little shop in town with on tap beers - they're amazing), there's also an Airsoft shop if you're into that. Except for that all the small little shops that offer a lot of different things that are nice to explore.
