“Howie and Andy's empire”

White Waves Guest House

18 Apr 2008

We have just spent our third holiday in St.Ives at White waves with the wonderful Howie and Andy.
They do hospitality with a capital H!!
Generous,kind, welcoming, friendly and so much more, our trips to Cornwall are so comfortable and it is like staying with good friends, we cannot recommend white waves highly enough.
Andy's a talented artist also and now has a small shop in St.Ives so along with Howies sumtuous breakfasts, this Guest House should be your first port of call if you are planning a trip to Cornwall.


keep up the fishing Howie!!

Love

Debby, Lucy and Wendy

Just spent four nights at the White Waves and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was like staying at a friends house and we were made to feel at home as soon as we walked through the door.
Everwhere is spotless and as previous reviewers have said nothing was too much trouble for Howie and we were ruined.
Warm and cosy, yummy food and splendid company.
Views spectacular and we loved every minute, thanks for a very refreshing break.

“Fantastic place”

White Waves Guest House

9 Apr 2008

My friend and I recently stayed White Waves for 2 nights as a break during a week-long walking holiday on the coastal path. We arrived tired after a long day's walking and were made to feel at home straight away by Howie. Our stay there provided us with the relaxing, comfortable stay we were looking for - and the central location was perfect for exploring St Ives. I can honestly say that this is the most welcoming, friendly, clean and comfortable B&B I've ever stayed in - and it definitely has the best breakfasts!

“THE place to stay B&B in St Ives”

White Waves Guest House

28 Mar 2008

If you are searching the Internet for a B&B in St Ives we would strongly suggest that you stop right now and book at 'White Waves' Quite simply it is one of the best B& B's that we have come across. Beautiful rooms, stunning views and near to the Town Centre. You are made to feel at home from the moment you step inside the door by Howie and Andy. Nothing seems too much trouble and the Breakfasts are superb. We will be back again! David and Nihat.

“Heavenly Chill Out”

White Waves Guest House

25 Mar 2008

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.
