White Waves made our recent trip to St. Ives. My boyfriend and I were looking for a romantic, peaceful weekend away from London eating pasties and walking on the seashore. We'd never been to St Ives and loved it, but without a comfortable, charming, welcoming place to stay I'm sure things would have been different. Our room had a scrumptious view of the sea -- the place is only a few minutes walk to the shore. Plus Howie and Andy who run it are so kind and ready to help or not help, depending on what you are looking for. Breakfast is cooked practically to order (with many veggie options!) and served at a decent time. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that I would stay here again in a second.

My husband and I returned a few days ago from our first visit to Cornwall for many years but we aim to go back sooner rather than later. This is thanks mainly to the wonderfully warm welcome we received from Howie on our arrival. He made our stay with him so relaxed and it seemed that nothing would be too much trouble for him. We even stayed an extra day more than we'd originally booked for.
The beautiful house ,with awesome views across St. Ives harbour, was spotless and had loads of lovely, interesting things to look at including original artwork on the walls, which could be purchased, (the artist ,Andy, lives here too) There was a wonderful choice of foods for breakfast and plenty of it - no need for lunch if you have the full Cornish!
I've never felt the need to write a review about our trips before but this one stood out so much I can't let the opportunity go by without offering praise where it's due.

We spent a few very relaxing days in White Waves and agreed that it was one of the friendliest and most comfortable b & bs that we have stayed in. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and the breakfasts set you up for the day! Nothing seems to be too much trouble for Howie and Andy and you are made to feel very welcome. We look forward to returning in the future.

Just returned from two nights at White Waves Guest House and was very sad to leave.

We were made very welcome by Howie and Andy, the room was immaculate and with great views of St Ives.

The breakfasts are delicious with plenty of choice.

Highly recommend it and will certainly be going back hopefully in the not too distant future.

Thanks very much.
