3 Porthminster B&B

21st June 2024:

Very friendly and welcoming. Located near to the town , beach and shops. Has its own car park which is very useful. Wonderful breakfast with wide choice. Bedroom excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2024:

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!

Would Recommend: Yes

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

Lovely owners.

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.

A short walk down into St Ives where there are diverse places to eat and drink and interesting places to visit.

17th September 2023:

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

We had a lovely stay at 3 Porthminster over the bank holiday weekend. Lynn was more than helpful and everything that we could possibly need was provided. The room was spotless and the bed was comfortable. We had a very nice breakfast every morning to get us started (lots of breakfast options) and fresh milk and tea supplies for our room each day. 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

16th August 2023:

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

A lovely stay, we were very pleased.

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

25th July 2023:

It was a lovely experience that left us wishing we could have stayed longer! The morning breakfast was very delicious and the room we stayed in was really comfortable and clean. We would absolutely come again in the future.

I would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family

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

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.

Car parking was great and location was perfect for town and beach. Will definitely return. Keep up the good work. Thank you Lynn & John

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.

Easy access from train station. Just the right amount of distance from central town. Perfect access to Porthminster beach. Delicious breakfasts. Lynn and John are great hosts and make you feel most welcomed.

We ate at Loft, Porthminster Cafe, Mermaid. All are excellent. Crab sandwiches to die for in town. Watch out for the birds, we got attacked twice. Eat on the beach at your own risk

Lovely stay in St Ives - excellent location for train and bus stations, beaches and town centre. Room was everything we needed - clean and fresh decor. Breakfast was always delicious and set us up for the day well - even special requests were taken on board for the next day. Tables set up for evening takeaways is a great idea and the lounge area felt really homely. Welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable and attractive room (Room 1) with great sea views. Welcoming, attentive and unobtrusive hosts, Lynn & John. Beautifully cooked breakfasts. What more could you want?

The Penwith Gallery is, in its own way, as wonderful a space for Art as the Tate Gallery and more intimate. The restaurants above Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches are worth trying - so too, the one overlooking Pothminster Beach, but it is more expensive. Caffe Pasta in the harbour has an attitude problem out front, but the cooking is good.

Would Recommend: Yes

Beautiful harbour views from bedroom no 3 where we stayed.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th October 2021:

We were made to feel welcome upon arrival by Lynm, the room and en suite was bright and spotlessly clean, and all facilities provided as described. Lots of nice touches and little extras with choice of teas etc, filtered water and milk with dairy free options. Breakfast was delicious and good quality, and nice to have a choice of breakfast items. We appreciated being able to borrow a beach towel too as we forgot to bring a spare.

Would recommend surfing lessons at St Ives Surf School, and the coastal hike to Zennor, for those looking for an active holiday! Our personal highlight local restaurants / cafes we visited were Pedn Olva, Rum & Crab Shack, Olives Cafe for cream tea, and Moomaid for ice cream.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great email communication with Lynn to get us booked in - first in 2020 which had to be cancelled but we rebooked for 2021 and are so glad we did! A fantastic base for St Ives (with parking - v. important!). We knew the location from previous stays nearby many years ago. 3 Porthminster is just what we wanted for our visit - just 4 bedrooms and the whole place is decorated and styled to perfection - lovely bright rooms with wonderful sea views from the huge bay window (Room 1), great shower room, huge comfortable bed as well as a sofa and chair/footstool to relax and admire that view, plenty of tea/coffee/chilled water which you just restock yourself as needed at the moment. Delicious breakfast which you order the night before served in a delightful breakfast room which again has so many lovely decorative touches. A drinks cooler is located in reception which is very useful as is John (very useful, not located in reception!) who kindly supplied me with the all-important ice cubes for my GnTs sitting on the lovely front terrace where we sat most days after a day on the beach. Absolutely idyllic...would definitely stay again - Thank you both..

We parked at 3 Porthminster and the car didn't move for the 4 days we were there! We just soaked up the atmosphere of St Ives and the gorgeous sunshine. Porthminster Beach was our favourite I think - fairly spacious and room at the cafe to sit with a cool drink. Porthgwidden is cute but small so it was quite nice to sit on the grassy area ("The Island") overlooking the beach below. Porthmeor again was lovely to see from above but we found the cafe area very busy and enclosed while we were there. Cafe Pasta - we'd pre-booked months before but they cancelled days before saying only doing bar service. We managed to get a booking at The Mex (an old fave) and that was as good as it always was. Walked past Cafe Pasta after our Mexican to see food in full swing so not sure what that was about! Met up with old friends who recommended The Mermaid. Hadn't been before but clearly been there for ever and very popular - really enjoyed our meal there - and lovely friendly staff. As a walk in option as we hadn't booked for all our nights - Beer & Bird was a good choice. They call you when your table is ready.

We always enjoy a relaxing stay at 3 Porthminster. The accommodation is stylish and cleanliness is of the highest standard. Breakfasts are delicious. The location, being just a short walk to the High Street, while commanding fabulous views could not be better.

1. Book all restaurants two months in advance. 2. If eating take away food sit with your back to a wall to avoid losing it to seagulls. 3. The best pasties in town can be purchased at the St. Ives Bakery on the corner of Fore Street and the Digey.

Still our favourite B&B, for many years to come. Lynn and John provide a fabulous breakfast; lovely clean rooms and tasteful decor.

For diners, Rajpoot Indian, Porthmeor Beach restaurant and Queens Hotel. For beer with music lovers, Western Hotel (and Kettle and Wink if reopening). For hardy walkers, St. Ives to Zennor Head - 3-4 hours arriving at the legendary Tinners Arms.
