Uno - St Ives, homestay in St Ives

Set in St Ives and only 700 metres from Porthmeor Beach, Uno - St Ives offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated homestay is located 800 metres from Porthminster Beach and 1.1 km from Bamaluz Beach. The homestay features family rooms.

Everything about Uno is great! Brilliant views from the exterior to interior. We stayed in the Stargazer room, it was spacious and clean and neat and weather you're in bed or sitting on the comfy sofa, the views were fantastic!! Lovely! Brilliant! Breathtakingly beautiful! 😍 ❤ just Looking out over the cathedrals and out towards St.Ives Bay. Views are so beautiful at night too and peaceful atmosphere 😌 Biggest square rainhead shower ever was a bonus! And the room has good skylight features and roof windows so could open them for fresh cool air anytime of the day/night. Owners were both lovely and friendly and helpful. Stayed an extra night as we couldn't get enough of the views from that beautiful room. Comfortable bed too!! We liked that town was only a 2min walk down the footpath from Uno House and the bay/beach side only a walk away as well from Uno. Some great restaurants by the seaside!! You know your car is safe n sound parked at Uno house so didn't have to worry bout that! You won't regret spending a night at Uno. We certainly didn't. We loved every bit of being there in a peaceful, calm and relaxed environment with gorgeous views inside and out! ❤❤

Thurlestone House, homestay in St Ives

Thurlestone House is an adults-only bed & breakfast in Carbis Bay, around 1.2 miles from St Ives. The property enjoys sea views and offers a range of breakfasts. Just 7 minutes’ drive from the Tate St Ives gallery, this Cornish bed & breakfast has free parking and WiFi.

We enjoyed staying at Thurlestone House very much indeed for the 10 nights we were there. John and Linda could not have made us more welcome and were a fountain of knowledge both on the local area and wider Cornwall so were always willing to help with travel advice and where to go and what to see. The room was very comfortable, quiet and a nice size for the two of us. Breakfasts were very good indeed with a wide choice and always served with a smile. We would have no hesitation in staying at Thurlestone House again when next in the St Ives area.
