Just back from staying with Angela and Barrie. They are the perfect hosts, very knowledgeable about the area and its amenities. The premises are very comforable and well within walking distance of the main town. We will certainly go back - and Barrie cooks a mean breakfast!

I have just come back from an Easter break staying at Rivendell. The hosts, Barrie and Angela were very friendly and welcoming and offered lots of advice when asked about the area, restaurants etc. The breakfast was well cooked and of a good quality and our room, although small, had a lovely sea view across to the harbour. A lovely... More

Rivendell is most accommodating and friendly. They are willing to be helpful. We had the feeling of a home-like atmosphere. This place comes highly recommended. We certainly will stay there again when we return to England.

I had stayed a few times over the past few years and have never been disappointed. My time at Rivendell was relaxing, comfortable and a great get away. Angela and Barrie were my perfect hosts, making me feel very welcome. They went the 'extra mile' by helping me find what I was searching for.

Stayed for a night and the welcome was very friendly, offered pot of tea on arrival which was most welcome. Lovely couple, Angela and Barrie provided first class attention with information on things to see and places to eat. A nice walk down into St Ives and close to the town. Breakfast was very good.

A fantastic 5 day break in St Ives staying at Rivendell B & B. We stayed as a family of four and had two rooms; both were extremely clean and great views from room 5. The breakfast was of high standard every day with a good choice of fresh fruit, cereal and cooked breakfast. Angela and Barrie made us feel... More

Our room (number 6) was lovely and had amazing views over the town and harbour. Everything was good quality and perfectly clean, and the... More

We usually stay at Rivendell guest house when in St Ives, Angela and Barry and such a lovely couple and have a wealth of information on St Ives and Cornwall. The rooms are of a high standard with some awesome view of St Ives harbor. The walk down from Rivendell to St Ives shops and harbor is fine but walking... More

We stayed for 7 nights at Rivendell in room 5 which is a beautiful, light sea view room overlooking the harbour. Upon our arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Angela and Barrie and we instantly felt relaxed. The room was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Both Angela and Barrie were very helpful and informative... More
