Convenient to the train station, spectacular view of the harbour on the top floor, wonderful bed, the tastiest little bourbon cream biscuits, a quality breakfast, and Ron is great to chat with. I've stayed here two years running on a UK visit and hope to return every year.

Absolutely first rate B&B. Spotlessly clean, everything very tasteful and well done, marvellous view from the room of St Ives harbour, friendly couple who own it made me feel very welcome. Generous very good breakfast. Really can't fault it. The owners also collect local artists work and it is on show throughout. If you want to stay somewhere special, then... More

Stayed at this guest house with my cousin for a short break and can't rate it highly enough. Our room had fabulous views of the bay and everything in it you could want (and more). We arrived by coach and it was literally across the road from the bus stop. Breakfast was fantastic with loads of choice and the centre... More

I stayed in this guest house with my partner for my sister's 40th which she was celebrating in St Ives and we were both impressed with the hospitality of the owners, the cleanliness and the delicious breakfast served! The rooms were lovely and we had the most stunning sea view. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I cannot rate this great little place highly enough. Close to all amenities. Beautifully decorated throughout. I stayed in the suite and would have been perfectly happy to live there forever. The breakfast was fab with a great choice of dishes. Ron was a superb host, and his assistant Mags was a delight.A true home from home - only better.

Every thing from hosting, comfort, cleanliness and breakfast were excellent. Easy walk from Railway and a lovely scenic ride from the main line at St Erith. Few minute walk fro the beautiful town and harbour. Close to bus turn round point so spent an afternoon seeing Cornwall from the bus,great!!! Couldn't be better.

The Rookery has it all ! Beautifully styled with views to die for and...great breakfast choices. Stayed the weekend as a birthday surprise from my husband. When we returned from a day out we found wine & glasses in the room for us. What a lovely thought. The reserved parking bay is a great bonus too, when you go off... More

We have been staying at The Rookery for a few years now and it is simply the best B and B in St. Ives. It is very handy for parking and the views are exceptional!

This is more than just a B&B. It is a very stylish home which surpasses the quality of many top quality hotels. The location and it's views are exceptional and for anybody who knows the traffic and parking problems in St Ives the nearby car park and reserved parking spaces is a massive bonus. The rooms are individually decorated with... More
