The B&B owners were really friendly. The decor was all fresh and felt new - even nicer than in the photos! The breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay again.
The parking was a great addition. We were blocking other cars in so would have had to arrange to move the car if other guests needed to be out, but it didn’t prove to be a problem during our stay.

Justin, Julie (and Arthur!) were all fantastic. From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and Justin was eager to help us with recommendations both within St Ives and the local area. The property was beautiful, a real home-from-home! Location was perfect, a quick walk down the hill and you were exactly where you wanted to be. Special recommendation for vegetarians/vegans, the breakfast is the best we have ever had! Julie's homemade sausages were incredible and she was even kind enough to provide us with her recipe, with the scrambled tofu topping off a perfect breakfast. Would highly recommend The Olive Branch to anyone who wishes to visit St Ives.

Very comfortable and Justin and Julie went out of their way to accommodate us.
We had to climb 2 flights of stairs. But, since st. Ives is hilly we took it as training

The Olive Branch is great. Everything is well presented and well run. The hosts are fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. The breakfast is delicious, Julie deserves praise for her eggs, I tried scrambled, fried, and poached they were all great! We stayed for three nights in March 2022 (just as the country was emerging from the COVID19 restrictions) the stay was comfortable, and enjoyable.
We liked everything about this property.

Justin & Julie were wonderfull, so friendly and helpfull, nothing was too much trouble and with tips on what to do, not only in St Ives but around the West of Cornwall and the best way to get there!
Our room was bright and comfortable and spotlessly clean and so welcoming to come back to each evening.
And the breakfasts were so nice, especially Waffle Wednesday, it was a shame when they ended each morning?
We will definitely be returning!!!
Thank you,
