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 !

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.

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your great review! - it was lovely to have you all here and so glad you enjoyed Room 2 and our breakfasts too! Thanks also for the great tips for other travellers with a family - always good to know what works here and in St Ives and within easy travel or walking from here. Have a great summer and hope to see you again in the future Best wishes Sue & Mike

Had a great time in a really friendly B&B. Good breakfast with lots of choice, spacious & clean rooms in a really convenient location.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th July 2017:

Very welcoming and a wondeful place to stay. Our room had a great view over the sea, and plenty of space to relax when not out in town or country.

Art galleries and walking the coastal paths.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th July 2017:

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.

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

Wow - what a very thoughtful and wonderful review! Thank you :-) It is really good to know that all the details and facilities in the rooms that we hoped guests would appreciate, have been by you. 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. Thank you for staying with us and hope you make back sometime in the future!

3rd July 2017:

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.

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your kind comments and top tips for other visitors. We're so glad you enjoyed your break here and we really appreciate the comments here and the lovely things you said in our guest book on site too. All the very best for an exciting year! Best wishes, Sue & Mike

My stay at No4 was delightful in every respect- comfort, charm, proximity to town--and most especially the hospitality of hosts Sue and Mike.

Barbara Hepworth Museum is a must--as is a walk out to Land's End.

Would Recommend: Yes

Sue & Mike were excellent hosts, very friendly & informative. The room (number 1)& view from it was fantastic as was the breakfast!

Ate at Cafe Pasta & Pizza very good Italian dishes, Firestone Restaurant had a fantastic steak there & Blas Burger Restaurant excellent burgers for meat lovers or vegetarians. Coastal walk to Carbis Bay & Lelant was lovely, Train ride back from Lelant Saltings Station (£2 each back to St. Ives) nice relaxing ride back!

8th June 2017:

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your kind comments and recommendations. We're very happy that you enjoyed Room 1 and its views, a well as the breakfasts. Hope to see you again in the future Best wishes Sue & Mike

Pleasant 2 hr walk up through Steeple Woods to Knill monument, down to Carbis Bay and back to town via coastal path. Eating recommendations :Cellar Bistro, Backstreet Bistro and the Lifeboat Inn

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your kind comments - glad you enjoyed your stay here and St Ives and the area too. It's always good to know that guests appreciate the views from Room 1 and that you thought our breakfasts were excellent :-) Thank you also for the helpful tips for others on good walks and local restaurant recommendations. Kind regards, Mike & Sue

30th May 2017:

Had a lovely 3 night stay over the bank holiday weekend. The bed was so comfortable and lovely white fluffy towels. Mike & Sue were great hosts and made you feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nice and close to the harbour restaurants etc. We had a lovely walk to Carbis Bay. And to other nearby beaches. We also drove to Godrevy and walked to the lighthouse and saw the seals.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Very pleased that the attention we've given to rooms, beds, towels etc. and to looking after guests was something you appreciated. It was lovely to meet you and you made our job easy too! Thanks also for the tips on places you enjoyed walking to and visiting - always helpful to know what to recommend to other guests. We hope to see you again in the future.

27th May 2017:

A warm and friendly welcome. Beautiful views. Great facilities and fantastic breakfast.

Mike and She gave US good advice. Harbour fish and chip shop followed by a pint in the Castle Inn. Other options are available I'm sure.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great to have you staying here and glad you enjoyed your breakfast - always good to hear :-) Thanks very much for your kind comments and tips for others too. Good to see you liked The Castle's beer & Harbour fish & chips combo! Hope to see you here again sometime, Kind regards, Mike & Sue.

Fantastic B&B

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for taking the time to do this and for such a great review. It was lovely to have you here and very good to get such positive feedback in person and via this review. Best wishes and hope to see you again.

23rd April 2017:

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.

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.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your two glowing reviews of us and No4 St Ives - it is very good to know that we are giving guests like you a great all-round experience here and that the bedroom worked so well for you. Very helpful comments for us and future visitors on the location, some good local restaurants and also a fair warning of the seagulls love of ice-cream! Best wishes and hope to see you again.
