Mike and Sue are what you call down to earth people that love meeting people . They made my partner and I very welcome with the added bonus of an early check in ! Our room was beautifully decorated clean and fresh . The ensuite had a lovely power shower ,the beddding was adorable as well as the bed . Breakfast was scrumy with fresh fruits and an a mouth watering breakfast to follow . The guest room is a nice touch with views to die for as well as a fridge and cutlery if you fancie a take away like we did ! You honestly can't go wrong here it's in a good position slightly elevated but only a five minute walk and coming up is not a problem . There is a bus service which drops you outside if you struggle with the hill . Like everywhere in st ives you need to walk abit !

Tips:

With st ives the variety is on your door step . We aren't great sea food lovers which wasn't a problem .Many many restaurants and pubs to eat from steaks to pizzas etc . If coming as I have for 45 years avoid trying to park ! With no 4 you can park .

We really enjoyed our stay; it's a beautiful property and decorated throughout to a very high standard. Breakfast was excellent and something for the whole family. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated all the little extras in the room like bottles of water, tea & coffee as well as shampoo etc in the bathroom (the heated towel rail did come in handy after a day at the beach). We loved the convenient location and it was so nice to be able to walk everywhere.

Tips:

Porthmeor beach and cafe (serves lovely tapas style dishes) Porthminster beach (closest to B&B), very family friendly, has some great water sports on offer as well as a fabulous restaurant (Porthminster cafe - top quality food). Take the train to Carbis Bay (only takes 3 mins) and enjoy another brilliant beach (a little quieter than Porthminster); it has great water sports on offer and a lovely contemporary cafe/restaurant on the beach.

Love the style of this B&B. It is new and the deco strikes a great balance between modern comfort and quaintness. White walls, minimalistic design with a touch of well co-ordinated colours, paintings & ornaments here and there. Very cozy, very inviting. Rooms are spotlessly CLEAN. Tasteful and functional. Hairdryer is provided. Plenty of sockets (with USB ports) to charge all electronic stuff. Coffee & tea available. We were also given fresh bottles of water every day. Owners are very friendly and attentive. Breakfast is great. We could feel the owners have put a lot of heart here. This B&B is really a great place to come back to after a day of intensive sightseeing. Definitely will revisit if we come to Cornwall again.

Tips:

Stayed in room 5, it's smartly converted from an attic and offers great view to the sea. B&B is just minutes from St Ives station / St Ives town so communication is just perfect.

We will also pass on your very positive comments to our housekeeping team, as they take a lot of trouble to keep things spotless and comfortable for our guests.

Mike and Sue were incredibly warm and welcoming. Their B&B was beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable, and their breakfasts the perfect start to the day. We found No. 4 the ideal base for a few days break in St Ives, and would definitely recommend it to others.

Tips:

Visit the Leach Pottery, Barbara Hepworth Museum & Garden, Tate St Ives, The New Craftsmen Gallery, Plumbline, The Black Rock restaurant, Moomaid ice creams, and The Fudge Workshop.

We had a lovely weekend break at No 4 St Ives. Sue and Mike were wonderful hosts and cooked up an excellent breakfast. Room 1 was well equipped with a beautiful view of the harbour and we would thoroughly recommend anyone going to St Ives to stay at No 4.

If you visit the Tate and or the Barbara Hepworth House and Gardens, we would recommend that you time your visit for an occasion when there is a Tate Guide to take your around.

Lovely, immaculate, spanking new B&B with warm hospitality from Mike & Sue. The bed is among the best I have ever slept on and the sheets noticeably luxurious. My room and en-suite was very spacious. The guest lounge with sea views is a great place to browse local information, have drinks or snacks, relax or work. Breakfast features a good choice of fresh healthy food, especially berries, and home-cooking. The location is conveniently close to the rail station. Everything in town is within a short walking distance, especially once you know the pedestrian shortcuts between the winding roads. Wi-fi in room and in the building works smoothly. The price was very fair and reasonable for the quality, location and season. I would heartily recommend No 4 for as one of the best places to stay in St Ives or as a base for enjoying the region.

Tips:

On a bank holiday weekend, make restaurant reservations or go very early. Excellent quality, ambiance and reasonable prices at Porthmeor Cafe in front of Tate St Ives, Cornish Deli, Searoom, Rum & Crab. Moomaid Ice Cream a treat but eat inside or shield it outside or the seagulls will enjoy it before you do.
