We were at The Keep for two nights in May, and found it to be a great place to stay. The location was excellent, the rooms were clean and the breakfasts were fantastic. The hosts, Carol and Mike, were lovely. Both were very knowledgable about the local area and more than willing to give advice on restaurants and places to... More

We were down in St Ives for a wedding and were looking for somewhere to stay for three nights. The Keep is perfect for a long weekend - tucked away in a quiet spot, but still in the centre of the town and only minutes from Porthmeor beach. The breakfasts were fantastic and the hosts were really friendly and made... More

We stayed at The Keep for three nights in May. It is a fantastic B&B - we stayed in the Mermaid room. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Carol and MIke were able to provide excellent recommendations about where to eat nearby and provide useful tips for avoiding seagulls! The room was clean and well-presented,... More

Distinctively quaint, The Keep boasts a fantastic location and lives up to its excellent reputation in every possible way. Hosts Carol and Mike went out of their way during our two night stay to ensure our comfort and make us feel welcome. Our mornings started with a delicious breakfast prepared to perfection and shared with other delightful guests in a... More

We spent four fantastic nights at The Keep. We were warmly greeted by Mike and Carol, who looked after us from day one. The B&B was peaceful, comfortable and beautifully decorated, and right in the heart of St Ives. Mike and Carol couldn't do more for us, and were fantastic hosts. The breakfasts were delicious and we can't think of... More

My partner and I spent our wedding night at The Keep and we could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay. Mike and Carol were fantastic hosts. They let us drop our bags off early before our big day, gave us a very sweet 'congratulations' card and left chocolates on our pillows for when we returned from... More

The Keep is fantastic! We were thoroughly pleased from the beginning to the end of our stay. The Keep is in a great location that is quiet in terms of noise but is a short walk from beautiful beaches, restaurants, independent stores and art galleries. The keep has handy and secure parking facilities. We were impressed with Carol and Mikes... More

The Keep is a fantastic venue in the most amazing location. It's like your very own secret hideaway in luxury. Mike and Carol are the best hosts you could ask for and the breakfasts.... what can I say they are amazing, the 'specials' options for breakfast, different each day are a total treat. We loved it so much last year... More

Just returned from our second stay at The Keep, and the experience was just as cosy and enjoyable as first time around. As it was a surprise break for my wife's 30th Mike & Carol were great at pulling out all of the stops, even going as far as to hang bunting and welcome us with cup cakes! Such a... More
