I can’t rate this lovely place highly enough. Extremely friendly and nothing too much trouble. Offered use of the dining/ lounge area to eat takeaways. There is even a microwave for personal use. Beautiful sea views from the bedrooms. Spotlessly clean. If you are looking for a base in this area you won’t find better.

Would Recommend: Yes

Service second to none and a wonderful friendly atmosphere. Great choices for breakfast and owners go the extra mile to inform guests of the origins of the local produce. Made to feel at home and nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend!

UK pensioners can use their travel passes for free bus journeys to many of the beautiful resorts and endless gorgeous beaches. Invest in a Cornwall travel book, there is so much to see and wonderful fresh fish restaurants everywhere! Can't wait to return.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2024:

Excellent service and helpful. Mark and Anna go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

Beck’s restaurant, which is nearby, is a good place to have an evening meal. Tate St. Ives is a recommendation for modern art enthusiasts. Park your car and get on the Atlantic Coaster bus to see the scenic coastline on your way to see Cornish attractions such as the Heritage tin mining sites as well as Lands End.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2024:

Mark and Anna are extremely welcoming and accommodating hosts. I like their traditional bed and breakfast values and they were always on hand to help. Very personable yet not intrusive. Choice of breakfast menu, made to a personal order every morning. No complaints at all.

Carbis Bay beach is a 10/12 minute walk (downhill) from the accommodation(perfect for a refreshing early morning swim). Becks fish and chips diner/take away is a 10 minute walk. Often a queue but tasty and reasonably priced. St Ives is about a 15 minute walk (downhill) and Hayle is about an hour walk. Both are accessible by a local buses which generally run every 30 minutes. Porth Kidney beach is more secluded and is about a 20 minute walk or a short drive.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2024:

Super friendly, super clean and a very tasty and generous breakfast. Good size of car park at The Mustard Tree

OAP bus pass can be used to a good effect including on the tourist buses. Worth a visit to the Tourist Information Centre to obtain a bus timetable and generaaaaal info. If the train works for you one hardly misses a car and have no parking problems.

Would Recommend: Yes

Mark and Anna are exceptional hosts and will go the extra mile to ensure your holiday is enjoyable. The rooms are spotlessly clean and also have a fridge were fresh milk and water are added daily. Location is good and has its own private car park. Buses and trains run into St Ives regularly if required. Breakfats are excellent. Recommended to anyone staying in St Ives and don't think you will find anywhere better

Porthleven is a lovely place to visit as is Kynance Cove

Would Recommend: Yes

Buses are good to get to st Ives we had a lovely meal in The Cutty Sark in Marazion , but you need to book and have to drive there about 20 minute's in the car

Lovely b&b, extremely helpful and welcoming hosts, great choice for breakfast.Had a great room with wonderful views out to sea.Parking on site a bonus.

Easier to stay out of St Ives and avoid the crowds and very convenient to get to the local train into St Ives - 5 mins walk from the hotel and about 3 mins train journey.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2024:

Anna and Mark are wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome and provided excellent advice on where to eat, local transport facilities and attractions. Our room was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Travel to St Ives without using a car is very easy by either bus or train service.

For evening meals try The Gannet Inn which is just across the road, good food and service. The attractions of St Ives are easy to visit but I advise that you do not take your car, use the local bus or train service, both these provide short journey times and cheap fares.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2024:

Mark and Anna were very friendly, helpful hosts. Very knowledgeable about the local area. The room had everything we needed including a small fridge, and was spotlessly clean.

Very close to bus stops into St Ives, £2 single or £3.50 return. Train from Carbis Bay into St Ives £2 return although all downhill to the station therefore all uphill on the way back! The Gannet restaurant over the road is lovely for a treat. A bit pricier than most but the food was fab and all freshly prepared and cooked. We liked the Beach Restaurant in St Ives, very reasonably priced given it's location opposite the harbour and the service and food were great. Plenty of shops, cafés and takeaways in the town. If eating out in the open do be aware the gulls will take ANY opportunity to share your food!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2024:

Excellent stay - quiet location above the lovely Carbis Bay Beach which is a 5-10 minute walk down. We took the very frequent bus service into St Ives and back about a block away. You can walk the 1-1 1/2 miles along the beach and coastal path to St Ives - highly recommend this very pleasant and beautiful walk as well as the easy downhill sidewalk which is less scenic. The home is clean and comfortable with very nice breakfast but the best of all is the helpful advice and recommendations given by Mark and Anna, the terrific hosts. We would highly recommend staying here to visit St Ives and the surrounding sights in West Cornwall.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2024:

We arrived at the mustard tree at 12.30 pm to be greeted by Mark & Anna great hosts. Room had great view of the sea and bed was very comfortable, breakfast very good 10 out of 10 will be returning JOHN AND DEBORAH

Lovely b&b and decent location for the beaches within 30 minute walk. Staff was polite and well thought of. It took a little while to fill the bath but that didn’t bother me. Breakfast was very tasty. A great experience that I would recommend

Would Recommend: Yes

27th August 2024:

Only thing I would mention is we did have some problems with the water supply in the room. The shower was very tepid and had very little pressure. At one point I went to wash my hands and no water came out of the basin tap. I’m not sure if it’s a room issue or just the water pressure in the area is not great but it happened both days we stayed.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2024:

Very friendly, welcoming host serves a delicious range of breakfast

Romano’s salumeria and restaurant just metres along St Ives Rd serves exceptional coffee, cakes and authentic Italian sharing platters. The SW coastal path, beach and scenic train ride is a short walk away

Would Recommend: Yes

24th August 2024:

Highly Recommended! My stay at The Mustard Tree was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality by Mark, the owner. The location is stunning, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The room was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and equipped with all the amenities one could need. The views from the window were that of the sea, making it a joy to wake up each morning. Breakfast was a highlight of my stay. The host's culinary skills are top-notch, with a delicious selection of homemade dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Whether you prefer a hearty meal or something lighter, there's something for everyone. What truly sets The Mustard Tree apart is the personal touch. The hosts go above and beyond to make you feel at home, offering great recommendations for local activities and ensuring that every aspect of your stay is perfect. They are clearly passionate about what they do, and it shows in every detail. I cannot recommend The Mustard Tree enough. It's the ideal place to unwind, explore the local area, and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation. I look forward to returning in the future!

Die Unterkunft war bisher die beste auf unserer Südengland Rundreise. Mark ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war Qualitativ sehr hochwertig.Das Zimmer mit mini Kühlschrank groß genug mit guten Betten. Die Sauberkeit im ganzen Hausbereich sowie Zimmer überdurchschnittlich.

8th August 2024:

Mark and Anna welcomed us from the start to end of our 2 night stay. My wife and I were happy with all aspects of our stay, from the superb room with sea view. Very fortunate to be up graded at no extra cost. The Breakfast was Outstanding. Cooked English Breakfast delicious. Plenty of other choices, very generous with all food and drinks, ie tea, coffee, real juices, ie orange,apple,fresh fruit.Total 100% perfection and professional friendly couple to make your stay Very Special and Memorable. Thank you both for everything, kind Regards Steve + Mila.

Located close to Top class Restaurant/Hotel Gannet Hotel. Food Excellent. Plenty of other places to eat, ie Tapas Restaurant, fish and chips. Local food shop and pharmacy close by. Places to visit Good walk from Carbis Bay Beach follow coastal footpath to Una Church plenty of picturesque views on the way and on return to Hotel. Godrevy Beech we drove to, plenty of walks viewing seals near lighthouse. Beaches all around very sandy and clean. Carbis Bay Beach lovely water temperature not too cold. Beautiful place to be for a lovely break.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th August 2024:

We have been regular visitors to the area for the last 12 years. Our first time staying at The Mustard Tree. Mark and Anna are very welcoming and attentive hosts, nothing is too much trouble. We were delighted to be able to book 3 nights at fairly short notice. Good sleep, good food and encouraged to make use of a generous guest lounge and garden. Conveniently located for Carbis Bay and St Ives. Station a short walk, albeit down and up a steep hill. Car Park accessible from behind the property.

We love the Spanish tapas restaurant within walking distance, La Casita. Also recently opened an Italian Trattoria called Romana’s just down the road. We love using the train to go in and out of St Ives. Also, close to the SW coastal park if you want to enjoy a more energetic walk there and back. Access to the south coast easy by car or train. Penzance, Porthleven, St Michael’s Mount.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2024:

Really friendly welcome, easy walk from the train station and 100 yrds from the bus stop. The welcome pack in the room was very informative with lots of local places to eat and visit. Lovely clean room including the ensuite with excellent facilities (the mini fridge was a nice touch). Breakfast was nice and relaxed, the fruit and cereal were fresh and the cooked breakfast was really well cooked and tasty. We would highly recommend to anyone.

We travelled by train and the short walk from the station to the Mustard Tree was perfect. We made full use of the local buses during our stay and would recommend it (it looked very busy with cars in St Ives and parking was a nightmare). We also went to Penzance which only took 35 minutes and stopped in the middle of the town. There were plenty of lovely places to eat and drink nearby and lots to see and do. Will definitely be back.

We recently had a very enjoyable two night stay at the Mustard Tree b&b. The room was immaculate as was the rest of the accommodation and the breakfast was delicious. Mark was a really welcoming and informative host who made our stay very comfortable. We would certainly recommend the Mustard Tree to friends and hope to visit again in the future.

We had a really good meal at the Porthminster Kitchen in St Ives and found a lovely restaurant opposite the Tate whose name I didn't catch but it overlooked the beach and the food and staff were brilliant. We enjoyed walking the coastal path to St Ives and back to Carbis Bay a couple of times and also found the train service very handy and reliable.

24th June 2024:

Absolutely outstanding experience! Mark and Anna were the perfect hosts, making our stay unforgettable from start to finish. Their guest room is immaculate and beautifully decorated, offering all the comforts of home and more. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights throughout our stay. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Mark and Anna, who provided a thorough tour of the room and its amenities. Throughout our stay, they were always available for any questions or needs we had, yet they were never intrusive, striking the perfect balance of hospitality. Mark and Anna offered excellent recommendations for dining and activities, enhancing our overall experience. We truly felt like cherished guests in their home. If you are looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and exceptional hospitality, look no further. We cannot recommend The Mustard Tree highly enough and look forward to returning in the future!

Most of the local restaurants stop taking food orders from 8:00pm/8:30pm. Also, advisable to pre book table.

Mark and Anna were the perfect hosts. Always there when you needed them and very helpful. Gave us lots of ideas to make our stay perfect. The room we stayed in had a fabulous view of the coast.spotlessly clean and a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was wonderful and they cooked whatever choice you made. Definitely will be back again very soon.

We found using the train and buses made it very easy to get around and very reasonably priced. The gannet inn is a lovely restaurant to have a nice evening meal. And down at carbis bay there are a few places to eat during the day.

Would Recommend: Yes

Sounds like you had a great stay with us. Thanks for your review

12th June 2024:

I had a lovely stay at The Mustard Tree, it was clean, good amenities and facilities. There is a wide variety to choose from at breakfast from fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals and a hot breakfast. The hosts Mark and Ann were friendly (although I didn’t personally see Ann, she makes a great hot breakfast to set you up for the day). Mark was welcoming and gave me lots of good suggestions on the easiest way to travel to St Ives and lots of restaurant recommendations. I will definitely stay here again.

Follow the suggestions of the hosts as they know best. Do not drive into St Ives but take the train for a beautiful scenic view (2024 the price is £1 one way).

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

10th June 2024:

We had an amazing 3 days at the mustard tree run by owners mark and ana - with almost having no accommodation to finding the mustard tree and the room we wanted to be available very last minute felt like a miracle. Thank you mark and ana for such kindness and providing such a comfortable, home like atmosphere and environment. we got to see the room before we made any decision, that had already impressed me but it was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. ana immediately had the room ready for us once the payment was made with a fresh bottle of milk and 2 bottles of water placed in the mini fridge every room had. enough space to store all your belongings and tea & coffee tray is provided in the room. There is room service daily. Thank you again! The breakfast was amazing every morning - thank you mark for taking the orders and im assuming both mark and ana cooked the incredible full english or whatever anyone preferred - a selection of fresh fruits, cereals (to have with milk already on the table), yogurts and even fresh croissants (available on request and in advance as they bake them fresh) are an option if you prefer.

Everything about this place is incredible - parking is available onsite, the keys have one for the main front door and one for the room, the locations is fantastic - very close to st. ives bay along with other attractions around carbis bay. Best form of transport (again thank you mark for the information and suggestions) is by train or the bus - finding parking in st. ives or carbis bay is next to impossible never mind the narrow roads and on-coming traffic and one way systems at some places. The tour bus that mark ever so kindly suggested we take if we want to see more and get value for our money but more importantly value for our time and experience was the best decision -thank you again mark. The lands end coaster tour bus with the open top deck is the bus to get on if you want a whole 360 round of the west coast - it covers everything upto lands end so we actually ended up seeing more than we planned -BONUS! the day ticket only costs £5-£7 per adult and its a hop on hop off like system but make sure you get on the blue tour buses only if you want to make stops at attractions and get on again to go the next one. There are plenty of food and drink options available around the mustard tree - reasonably priced and very satisfying. A few places are a short drive from the mustard tree so you can still drive around the area. Mark and ana have vegetarian breakfast alternatives for all you vegetarians and they are also kind enough to provide cutlery if you order an take out. if you want an excellent experience in st. ives book the mustard tree!

Our favourite spots- Porthkidney Sands, Gwithian Towans, Marazion, St Ives, Minack theatre, Porthcurno, Sennen Cove, Cape Cornwall. Lots of good places to eat and drink but had a particularly good meal in the Gannet Inn and also happened across a great Belgian beer house in St Ives - Bierhaus Grand Cafe

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2024:

What can we say? Mark and his team go above and beyond for the guests. We were unable to fault anything and as a matter of fact they even offered little extras, like to iron our son's shirt for the wedding we were attending and even drive us to the venue! Far superior service than anywhere we have stayed before. Hope to be back.

Do speak to Mark before you arrive for directions to the parking area. We ate at The Gannet Inn, right opposite the house. Food was delicious and a lovely environment. One tip: If you want to go to St Ives, take the train, as parking there is a bit of a nightmare during busy times.

The Mustard Tree owners, Mark and Anna, are amazing. So friendly and their inn was the best we had experienced in our travels across the UK. Everything was clean the rooms and the view of the coast were fantastic. Easy access to St Ives ; yet a quiet and welcomed retreat slightly out of St Ives when day of sightseeing and exploring was done. facilities were superb. We would highly recommend the mustard tree.

Local bus gets one many places easily. St Micheal’s amount, The Lizard, and of course delicious restaurants in St ives. Right across the road from The mustard tree is the Gannett Inn with excellent food.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your lovely review- much appreciated

Another lovely stay. Room was lovely with great views over the sea. Good choice of food for breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Mark and Anna. x

Parking facilities with guest house were a bonus as expensive to park in St Ives.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for staying with us again.

Great place to stay. Owners were eager to please. Breakfast was very enjoyable!

Very convenient for train into St Ives. Went to The Gannet restaurant just across the road. Lovely food.

23rd September 2023:

We had a delightful stay at The Mustard Tree. Mark and Anna made us very welcome at extremely short notice! The superb breakfasts, comfortable rooms and location would be hard to beat.

We enjoyed food at The Badger in Lelant and at Becks fish & chip restaurant. We also enjoyed wandering around St Ives shops and beaches. The walk along the south west coast path is very pretty both towards Lelant and St Ives. We also enjoyed a very long bus ride to Penzance which went via Land’s End, the views were amazing.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for staying with us again. Glad you had a good time.

21st September 2023:

We have stayed at the Mustard Tree several times and Mark and Anna never disappoint. The friendly welcome, comfortable and clean accommodation, thick fluffy towels, delicious breakfasts and general relaxed ambiance ensure a super break enjoyed by all. The location in Carbis Bay is perfect, being so easy to get into St. Ives either on foot, by coastal train or bus, so a car can be left at The Mustard Tree when staying in the locality.

Excellent places to eat in Carbis Bay are La Casitas and The Gannet Inn. The bay is stunning and has a super sandy beach. Always best to walk there from The Mustard Tree as car park at the bay is small and expensive. The coastal walk into St Ives via the Carbis Bay hotel is worth doing during the day (approx 40 minutes) although too dark at night. The coastal train into St Ives is cheap, on time and only takes 3 minutes.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2023:

We felt very welcome the moment we arrived. The house and room was exceptionally clean and well situated. The breakfast is 5 stars and freshly cooked and locally sourced. Will definitely stay there again when we go back.

There is a coastal train that is not far from the property and takes you into St Ives for £1 per person. We found this charming and part of our holiday experience.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for staying with us. Glad you enjoyed.

17th September 2023:

We enjoyed our visit to The Mustard Tree and Mark and Anna were very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and their local knowledge very useful. We would have no hesitation booking again and will recommend your B&B as extremely good.

The Seafood Cafe in St Ives is well worth a visit although booking is worth considering as it can get very busy. We also enjoyed La Casita locally, again booking recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

Sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for staying with us.

A wonderful pleasant stay here at the mustard tree. Home from home, with great hosts and comfort.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2023:

A fantastic place, beautiful inside and out. Our room was gorgeous, well equipped with a fridge and kettle. We faced the road and although there was some noise at night from people and traffic, this didn't bother us. Breakfasts were delicious with fresh fruit, cereal, cooked breakfasts and croissants on request. If you wish to bring in a takeaway in an evening, Mark and Anna are happy to provide plates and cutlery for use in the breakfast room. There is a communal lounge, ideal should the weather let you down, but we were out all the time. Mark and Anna are lovely, very friendly, professional and work hard to make you feel welcomed and relaxed. They also have a gorgeous Schnauzer, which made us feel at home. This was our first time at The Mustard Tree and hope it won't be our last!

The beach seven minutes downhill, a bit more back up. Coastal walk to St. Ives takes about an hour. Lovely beaches along the way. Boat trips to see the seals from St. Ives. Lovely walks and touristy things to do and see, but Carbis Bay quieter and less commercialised - perfect! Local eating places - The Gannet (delicious but large portions and need to book), The Bean Inn (good), The Cornish Arms (fair but very short staffed). Tesco near by. Bus stops close by. All in all, perfectly situated.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great review - thanks.

11th September 2023:

We had a fantastic stay at The Mustard Tree. The Mustard Tree is a perfect, brilliant, welcoming place from start to finish. Mark was very friendly and offered drinks when we arrived. The rooms are very clean, beautiful and modern. We had a room with a sea view. 😍 Breakfast was very tasty. I am very excited and impressed about The Mustard Tree.

Excellent family room - really spacious with sea views! Great breakfast and Mark was a very hospitable and helpful host.

Within easy walking distance of some great restaurants - Becks fish and chips and the Gannet Inn are highly recommended. The Mustard Tree is a longer walk to the beach, but it’s possible to take the edge off the hills on the way back by staying off the main road! Walk to St Ives along the coast path, or the main road for an easier walk, and enjoy the short, scenic train ride back.

A lovely, clean BB with a homely feel. It was clean, comfortable and had the an amazing breakfast spread for our family.

Mark welcomed us in and gave us a refreshing orange juice after a long journey. The car park is plenty big enough for the number of rooms. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean and the added extra fridge was very welcome with fresh milk and water every day. Excellent breakfast cooked by Anna with plenty of choice. Overall an amazing bed and breakfast in beautiful surroundings.

Carbis Bay beach is a 15 minute walk downhill. The beach wasn’t busy for August which was great. Close proximity and easy access to St Ives.

Very welcoming, friendly and hospitable hosts. I arrived early and Mark was very accommodating and got my room prepared as soon as possible. And the place itself is very clean and tidy.

Carbis Bay Hotel is worth checking out as they offer some lovely lunch options along the beach. One point to note is that restaurants close reasonably early in Carbis Bay so you may want to head into St Ives for dinner (approx 1 mile away).

21st August 2023:

We had an exceptional stay! Mark, the owner, went above and beyond to assist us. The rooms and entire establishment were immaculate and exceedingly comfortable. The convenience of free parking was a significant bonus, particularly in St Ives where parking options are limited and pricey. Furthermore, the central location made everything easily accessible. The breakfast offerings were truly delightful, providing a great start to our days. Our family of 3 will undoubtedly choose to stay here every time we visit!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for reviewing us - see you again

19th August 2023:

Our stay was first class. Mark and Anna were very welcoming, hospitable and helpful and treated you like friends rather than "customers". We have nothing but good comments about them.

Local eateries worth visiting, Becks in Carbis Bay and The Old Quay in Hayle. Avoid the Watermill in Lelant. Their food was very poor. Places to visit are Trebah Gardens and Minack Theatre.

Would Recommend: No

thanks for your lovely review.

16th August 2023:

The Mustard Tree is an ideal place to stay, so close to Carbis Bay beach and St Ives town. The accommodation is excellent, Breakfast is not to be missed... Mark and Anna ensure your stay is comfortable and you have all you need. Fresh milk and water in the fridge in your room everyday is a sign of their attention to detail. Would highly recommend to all.

St Ives, and the streets around the town All local beaches, go-karts in Hayle, The camel trail bicycle ride in Padstow Thai restaurant in the harbour and The Cornish Deli, opposite Barclays bank both have a great choice of excellent food

Would Recommend: Yes

Mark and Anna were terrific hosts. Mark gave us a ride to and from the train stop, got us oriented, and shared helpful tips about the area (including a warning about the seagulls which unfortunately didn't prevent my losing my ice cream cone to them!). The accommodations were roomy and our view of the ocean was lovely.

If you like art, the Tate Modern is fabulous!

4th August 2023:

We really enjoyed staying at the Mustard Tree. The room was really nice, newly renovated and very clean. Mark made us feel very welcome and relaxed and served us excellent breakfast. Would absolutely stay here again if returning to Cornwall.

We walked to St Ives, a nice walk along the seaside that took about 40 min. but also the bus connection is very good. Also we can recommend La Casita, a Spanish restaurant close to the hotel. Good food and nice staff. Pre-booking recommended.

As always a fantastic stay, lovely breakfast and Mark & Anne are brilliant hosts. Been there many times and wouldn't go anywhere else when in the area. Next year here we come!!!!

Gannett Inn -lovely food and atmosphere and almost opposite the Mustard Tree. Becks Fish Restaurant is also local and is probably one of the best fish restaurant i have ever been to. Trevaskis Farm is a must for food lovers, lovely food, reasonably priced and desserts to die for, although a 15mins car drive.

Would Recommend: Yes

Anna & Mark are extremely helpful & caring hosts in their spotless & comfortable home ! Nothing is too much trouble for them & their breakfast is perfect to start the day with ! We were delighted with our ground floor rooms as walking for me can be difficult . We also used the lovely lounge together as there were three of us & I was able to watch Wimbledon on their super sized TV. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & if health allows we hope to be back - Thank You to Anna & Mark !

On our first night the weather was rough & wet & so on advice we booked a table at Trevaskis Farm & had a relaxing meal in a lovely setting ! If the weather had been good we were going to drive to the nearby lighthouse & enjoy the views ! We visited Penzance & Newlyn for coffee- arrive early as car parks are full ! Helston Boating Lake was pretty, Porthleven is a picturesque sea side town with lovely walks , St Ives is also beautiful, not good for cars, lots of walking . A wonderful area to visit !

We thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants we visited: The Gannet Inn, The Beach Club at Carbis Bay and La Casita. Disappointingly, the performance we were to see at The Minack Theatre was cancelled due to the weather but it was still very much worth a visit - just incredible!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Mustard Tree. The rooms were lovely, the breakfast delicious and staff were friendly. The location was great with only a short walk of about 10 minutes to where you can pop on the train to St Ives which only takes 4 minutes! Such a lovely area, lovely beach and beautiful views. We loved it.

St Ives is a mile up the road which has lots of places to eat, shops, and a lovely beach and harbour. You can catch the bus, train or take a nice walk along the coastal path. We also visited Penzance, travelling by bus. We have previously travelled there by train from Carbis Bay, transferring at St Erth to Penzance.

Very clean & comfortable guest house with likeable & helpful hosts. Our room had a seating area with a lovely sea view. Breakfasts were very tasty with locally produced ingredients.

5 minutes walk from the garden gate to bus stops and local restaurants. Railway station is a 5 mins walk away too & costs just a £1 to St Ives. A further short walk to the beautiful beach. The walk back from the beach is up a steep incline so may not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Carbis Bay train station is nearby for St Ives (£1 single), bus stop virtually outside, 25 minute walk into St Ives (downhill). Pub nearby plus other restaurants- Thai, fish and chips (Becks) etc all good. Open top bus trips around the coast worth doing, Sennen Cove and Kynance Cove (plus cream tea) a must do. Cornwall is a beautiful place to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th June 2023:

Mark and Anna are excellent hosts, their B&B is very nice and clean and breakfast was delicious and freshly made every day. The view of the sea and Carbis Bay from our room was to beautiful for words. They are very kind and generous and Mark always goes the extra mile for everyone. Mark told us of the beautiful places to visit and they were breath taking. It was our wedding anniversary two days after we arrived and my husband mentioned it to Mark and he remembered on the day and wished us a happy anniversary, which was a lovely thought. I definitely would recommend The Mustard Tree to anyone. Their prices are reasonable and the room was beautiful and clean every day and has a very comfortable double bed. Once again I would like to thank Mark for serving us breakfast every day and Anna for making it. Thank you Mark, once again for everything you did for us making our anniversary special,we will definitely never forget and we will return again to your B&B and ask for the same room with the beautiful view, which is a wow as you enter the room. There is a pretty garden if you want to sit and relax outside or you can relax in the living room. It is a lovely place to stay in and Carbis Bay is beautiful, there are garden walks that Mark suggested for you to stroll and walk to Porthminster Beach it has lovely restaurants and take away and is a short walk into St Ives.

Local restaurants that we went to were The Gannet Restuarant, La Casita, as we travelled to Newqua, Perranorth, Penzance and Lands End which is a must to see!
