We stayed over the May bank holiday and booked relatively last minute. From the hundreds of B&B's in St Ives I think we really lucked out. Linda and David were very welcoming and charming... and put on a great breakfast! Our room was very bright, airy and modern as well as super clean, the view was pretty good too. Linda... More

A guest house plucked from the millions listed online for a spontaneous mid-January weekend get-away. Being January and being the only ones staying we were able to park literally outside the front door - something of a novelty for St Ives which was never designed with the car in mind! Our room, Porthmeor, directly looks out onto the beach of... More

Booked on the Internet having read the reviews. Not disappointed. The Monterey is in a lovely location near Tate and town, super views, great service. Our room 'The Porthmeor' had a kingsized bed, big shower, modern and stylishly decorated, exactly as the picture on screen. Linda and David friendly hosts, breakfasts great with different fruits and cooked breakfast each day.... More

We've stayed in St. Ives regulalry over ther last ten years but our normal B&B had stopped trading, however it was a delight to find this one instead. We arrived late on Friday night, however this was no problem. Our room was a small white double on the first floor, which was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with a cute... More

Following a stay 2 years ago I had no reservation in my choice of accomodation. The stunning views of Porthmeor beach are matched by the hospitality offered by Linda and David. Comfortable, spacious rooms, a fine breakfast, a home from home. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was made to feel welcome and relaxed and I look foward to staying... More

This is our 4th visit to Monterey and every time we come away with a sense of relaxation and enjoyment. Linda & David are fantastic hosts who will always offer their assistance wherever they can. The breakfasts are scrumptious with plenty to choose from (the apple juice is a must!). The rooms are spacious and full of delightful touches with... More

We stayed for one night having booked at short notice. We had the only room available which, as it turned out, was the only one without a sea view which was possibly the only negative about our stay - however really our own fault for leaving it so late to book. The room was small but nicely decorated, clean and... More

My wife and I stayed for 3 Nights. The double room was as it appears on their website, had been refurbished to a comfortable standard with a mix of modern fittings sympathetic to a traditional house. The on suite was not the normal cupboard, It was spacious and warm with a large walk in shower. The bed was new ,very... More
