Stayed for 2 nights in early August. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast with good choice of well-cooked food - try the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, my daughter did and was very glad she did! This guest house is well deserving of its 4 stars. It's easy to get to, easy to find, conveniently located, and very very... more

My friend and I shared a double room at the Thurlestone for three nights and absolutely loved it. We had the smallest room, but it was still very comfortable and functional. The whole place is crisply decorated and very clean, and the owners are some of the friendliest people - nothing was too much trouble. We also loved the location,... more

It can't get much better. They... more

We recently returned from our holiday at Thurlestone in Carbis Bay and had a great time. The guest house itself is about a mile from St Ives and can be accessed via a coastal path which starts directly across the road from Thurlestone and is a lovely walk. We found it much better staying in Carbis Bay rather than St... more
