The Mustard Tree

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

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. Kurz gesagt wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Von der Unterkunft aus kann man in kurzer Zeit alle Sehenswürdigkeiten wir St Michael mount. Mouthole. Portcurno. Minack Theater. Land,s End und st Ives erreichen. Gerne mochten wir Das Becks Restaurant. Dort stimmt Preis und Leistung

The Mustard Tree is lovely and clean, Mark and Anna are great hosts who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast is top class with plenty of options.

Would Recommend: Yes

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.

Thanks for your lovely review - much appreciated

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.

Lovely, friendly and very helpful staff. The Mustard Tree was a lovely, bright and very cosy guesthouse. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The food was delicious and the omelettes were simply divine. The bed sheets were clean and fresh. Thank you The Mustard Seed.

Plenty to see and do in St Ives. Enjoyed plenty of walking, fresh air and scenery. Spectacular views.

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

13th June 2024:

Lovely, clean, bright room. Great breakfast! Good to see that the guest house thinks about sustainability and local produce.

Great vegetarian restaurant just up the road.

Would Recommend: Yes

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

12th June 2024:

Host Mark is very Good and friendly. I would highly recommend anyone visiting southwest. Location is great

Plenty of attractions around the Hotel within 10 miles radius Lands end 18 miles Penzance 8 miles St Ives beach And other attractions

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!

Excellent. Friendly and comfortable and in ideal location for Carbis Bay beach and St Ives.

Lots to do from here, with or without a car. Bus and rail links good. 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.

Mark & Anna are exceptional hosts who go above and beyond to help and make their guests feel welcome. Their attention to detail was noted and appreciated and nothing was too much trouble. We booked 2 twin rooms to celebrate New Year in St Ives and will definitely be coming back again.

The Mustard Tree is in a great location to walk to Carbis Bay beach in 15mins or St Ives in around 30mins or to take the small train. The B&B is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Breakfast delicious with locally sourced ingredients. Would highly recommend.

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

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.

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.

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.

We spent a lot of time at Carbis bay beach which was only around a 5mins walk from the BB- alot quieter than St Ives beaches. Ate around the local pubs all walking distance.

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).

Would Recommend: Yes

glad you enjoyed your time with us.

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

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!

Would Recommend: Yes

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 !

Would Recommend: Yes

Mark and Ann were very friendly and helpful hosts; they could not do enough to make our stay in Carbis Bay an enjoyable one. Their recommendations of restaurants and places of interest to visit were excellent. The Mustard Tree is a lovely spotless place run by lovely people.

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!

Warm welcome by our hosts. Very comfortable beds and excellent breakfast cooked fresh to order. Helpful advice on where to eat in St Ives.

Teh Mustard Tree was perfectly suited to my interests for this trip. Lovely, quiet location, cozy, warm atmosphere, excellent innkeepers (lovely, efficient, great cook!), wonderful walking opportunities as well as bus access to more remote historical sites, brisk arts community, gorgeous views, enjoyable community of other guests.

Clarify your interests in advance, know walking will be involved, Mark (innkeeper) has full advice about local eateries (I enjoyed Fish and Chips at Becks, Spanish tapas at La Casita). I enjoyed the Barbara Hepworth studio and gallery, the Tate exhibitions (and a delicious lunch at the Tate cafe), the museum and pottery of the Leach Pottery. I took the local bus to Land's End and admired villages and seacoast along the way.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th April 2023:

Thankyou so much mark and Anna we had a wonderful stay.we felt as if we were at home we had a lovely welcome and your hosting is perfect thankyou so much. Above and beyond what you have to do. The bed and breakfast is spotless. Travellers if you have a bigger family what an amazing family room and travel cot. Amazing size and the fridge and tea making facilities fresh water and fresh milk in the fridge. The breakfast was just perfect What an extensive menu. And all local produce. Cooked to perfection. Thankyou for a lovely stay. We will def be back in the future.

Just 5 mins walk from B and B there is the gannet restaurant and a sports bar done a bit from it also. Becks fish and chips it’s the nicest fish and chips I have ever had and plenty of it. La casita a little Spanish restaurant. So plenty on the doorstep to eat out. St ives is 1 1/2 mikes to walk hilly but a beautiful walk. Carbis bay beach is a hilly walk or you can take the car which is the most beautiful views and beach and restaurant you can go to looking over the sea. Buses are available just across the road from the B and B which will also take you to st ives. Beautiful shops and restaurants in st ives amazing atmosphere. If you ar a walker this is perfect for you to get out and about,

Would Recommend: Yes

10th April 2023:

Mark was so helpful from the beginning by letting us park up early in the morning and handing us a set of keys to our room so that we could go off and enjoy our day without needing to come back and check in which helped us out massively. Room was spotless and clean, very comfortable bed, lovely sea view and it was quiet we had the best night sleep! Breakfast was outstanding you could definitely taste that the food was locally sourced and this is amazing to see! Friendly atmosphere, very helpful host, great food, so sooo comfortable we would highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Thank you!

Bus stop is along the road from the mustard tree for easy access into st ives and other areas so the car can stay in the car park. Train station a short walk away. Gannet restaurant opposite is very relaxed and lovely for a drink, food is also great. Becks fish and chips is another recommendation you can eat in and take away. Carbis bay beach is a short walk away and it is just stunning. Coastal walk into st ives is a must but wear sensible shoes!

This is a super nice place to stay. I felt like I was the first person to ever stay in the room, it was spotlessly clean and modern with a beachy, coastal comfy feel and I loved coming back to the hotel every evening. The bed was the most comfortable that I have ever slept on and the sheets and pillows were the softest! (and I have stayed in many a hotel over the years) The breakfast was wonderful, with local produce from Cornwall. I loved the eco conscious vibe of this hotel.

Mark and Anna run a superb bed and breakfast. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The rooms are lovely, spacious and bright and I can honestly say the breakfast is the best I have ever had.

If you plan to go to St Ives get the train from Carbis Bay station (It’s only a couple of minutes journey). Parking in St Ives is a real challenge.

I booked the mustard Tree for my daughter, son in law and little granddaughter. We were so lucky to have found this absolute gem. Mark was very helpful and went above and beyond to make their stay a happy one. They say things happen for a reason and this certainly did. They should have been staying at a friends but just 30 minutes away and they found it this was not possible after a 5 hour drive. While they were driving I rang The Mustard Tree and that is where all the stress disappeared, They were able to go to their absolutely beautiful family room to get ready for a wedding. My son in law said the breakfast was the best he has ever had, my 22 month old Granddaughter absolutely loved her fresh fruit and went back for more. My daughter said they were thrilled with everything. I am certain my husband and I will be booking the mustard tree too. My family said it really did make the perfect overnight stay. A big thank you all.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2022:

Room immaculate, with bonus sea view in our case. Hosts very hospitable and helpful. Breakfast excellent. Would highly recommend.

Gannet Inn just over road from the Mustard Tree provides a convenient and good quality place for an evening meal, but booking in advance essential. Good fish and chip place available a few hundred yards down the hill. Trip into St Ives well worth it, very picturesque and great range of restaurants. Good local bus connections (but don't expect them to run exactly on time!) Carbis Bay beach is gorgeous; Hayle beach, just across the water, is almost Caribbean like on a nice day. In all a great part of the world to come and relax.

Fantastic staff and all you needed was there. Breakfast was good with lots of choices.

Great location for walkers, St Ives is a good half hour plus walk, but when you get there it is lovely to walk round and enjoy the scenery.

Mark & Anna are fantastic hosts and we wouldn't stay anywhere else when we stay in Carbis Bay.The atmosphere and friendliness in The Mustard Tree is 2nd to none and the variety at breakfast is superb and very tasty! Already getting ready for another return visit.

Gannet Inn-pricey but superb food. Becks Fish Restaurant- one of the best fish restaurant i've ever been to and very reasonable. Trevaskis Farm- great portions, fantastic food and the desserts are a must!!!

Great service from Mark. We were made to feel comfortable from start to finish. I Was always asked if we needed anything. The whole place was impeccable! Beds very comfy and nice bathroom with lovely toiletries. Nice touch with water daily and small fridge. Definitely a 5star for me. Short hilly walk to Carbis Bay which is beautiful and quieter than St Ives beaches. Lovely stay will be back!

Get a day pass that will take you to almost every where and train station is very close by. Pre book dinner as restaurants do not have walk in. Not much take away food around. Took the bus to St Ives and enjoyed lovely dinners.

Would Recommend: Yes

Mark made us feel very much at home. The room was very clean and comfortable and there was an excellent choice for breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble.

It’s a good base depending on what you want to do. I think that you need a strong pair of legs to walk to the beach , but that is what Cornwall is all about. We used the bus service to travel about to save the trouble of trying to find parking. If you have a good liking for fish and chips, try Becks just down the road, but beware, the portions are very generous. We also took the open top Coaster Bus to Lands End which was well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes
