Bill and Terri made us feel very welcome and the added value factor was the beautiful kitten Marley !- We were treated to 'cream Tea' on the patio on arrival which was a nice gesture- and the view great.
This B&B is definately 'No Frills' ( Room 1-bedroom/bathroom a little small , and no views) but it was a good base and we would use again.
The Breakfast was wonderful and filled us up for the rest of the day. The only downside being that we had to share a table at breakfast in the kitchen with other couples- which isnt so bad but some visitors would find it a lttle too intimate.
The upside is that the hosts were lovely people, i suppose it depends what you want out of your stay , we stayed 'on spec' - so if youre looking for a comfortable base this is fine but luxury its not .
We,ve stayed in St Ives many times and I would recommend quite a few restaurants but this time we ate at 'The Mermaid' and 'The Loft' who produced lovely food.

Good location overlooking nice sandy beach. Good breakfast. Interesting monuments in area.

Having just stayed at the Atlantic View Guest House, we are leaving with mixed emotions - on the one hand we are missing our favourite place in the whole world already and on the other we are very glad that we have left this very basic guest house ! . We have come away feeling very let down indeed!!
On first arrival before even checking in we were asked for the rest of the money owed,something that throughout my working life of staying away every week with my job i have never been asked to do!
when shown to our room we were immediately taken aback by how small it was,the carpet was frayed in the doorway and the whole room felt very dated,in fairness to them the room wasn't dirty it just felt like it really needed a total makeover,on closer inspection we found mildew at the blind in the window,
as for the en suite if you suffer from claustrophobia don't even go in there!! the shower felt like it was going to come off the hinges every time you used it and i didn't really feel much cleaner when id got out of it than when i got in it! . The room was not cleaned during our stay - again this has NEVER happened to me before - at the end of the day you are paying for this service.

Breakfast was very strange indeed !!!! - you are asked to pre order what you want and what time you want it !!! , (we felt a bit under pressure to not to be late for it) , we were amazed to see that all the food for the english breakfast is all cooked before hand in one large pan and then just re fryed to heat through when needed- not freshly cooked !!, and all the juice that you do not drink they pour back into the juice containers !!!!!)

All in all we would not return to this guest house, it has been the worst B & B that we have been to in St Ives.

p.s and over priced !!!.

What a fantastic location.
First time to St Ives, could not believe the views & how lucky to have booked into a place where we could appreciate them so well.
The room was beautifully decorated & l must say one of the most comfortable beds we've ever had on holiday!
On our arrival Bill & Terri gave us such a warm & friendly welcome, not to mention the cream tea on the terrace at the bottom of the garden, Sea view to die for, we settled in in no time.
Thanks to their local knowledge & easy friendly nature they were a big help in getting us started with no time to waste. We managed to find all those special must see places!!!
One of our most enjoyable memories was the fun we had at breakfast, "& what a breakfast!" sharing tales & stories with the other guests with Bill & Terri on hand to see that we wanted for nothing. They had a wonderful way of making everyone feel as if they were at home.
Thankyou so much to them. We will most certainly be back!!!!!
