A wonderful stay at Headland House. Fenella was incredibly helpful and made sure that our stay was fantastic. The room was very high quality and the bed was really comfortable. They had great amenities, such as beach towels and mats to borrow, as well as coffees and hot chocolates in the room. The location is really convenient, so close to the beach and to the train station - the views are beautiful! The breakfast was brilliant and the cake of the day was a really lovely touch too. We will definitely be back 😊

Stayed for five nights to finish our Cornwall holiday. We had a great room comfortable with quite well designed en suite. A beautiful panoramic view across Carbis Bay to the harbour at St Ives. The breakfast selection was excellent with amazing choices and a top quality cooked breakfast. The hosts, namely Fenella and Mark were welcoming, friendly and helpful. A gem of an Hotel. Definitely stay again and fully recommend.

Best views from our room of the sea. Nice touches include fridge milk water cake and expresso maker. Lovely and quiet. Close to station to reach St.Ives. Beach nearby easy to walk too. Breakfast was made to order and plentiful. Love the less use of plastics. Definitely the best hotel so far. Beds so comfy.

This accommodation was by far the best B&B experience myself and my partner have had. With lots of personal touches, for example little slices of cake left in the room and personally meeting the B&B owners at the start of our trip. They are very friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure your stay is pleasant and smooth from start to finish. We would definitely visit again.

Stayed jus 1 night, Full English Breakfast was fantastic, included juice, yoghurt, fruit and pastry, set in a lovely conservatory with sea views. The boathouse suite was spacious and well equipped, huge comfy bed. Practical, Romantic room and lighting. Fridge in room, perfect. Nice outside table and 2 chairs in a petite courtyard. Instant fast hot bath in just a few minutes. We sat out on the veranda in the evening, just lovely. There is good acces to beach, coast path, and Station. Fabulous stay, we would definitely stay here again, Parking very close to room, Small parking spaces for my large estate car. But I had a choice of spaces.

An unforgettable stay, made even more special by the wonderful people at Headland House! Waking up each morning to the stunning view of Carbis Bay from such an elegant room would be reason enough to recommend this place—but then comes breakfast. The spread is nothing short of a holiday feast: beautifully prepared, delicious, and served with care. St Ives itself is charming (though do take the seagull warnings seriously—one nearly claimed my flapjack, and possibly a finger!), and while we had a slightly disappointing experience with the service at the Beach Club, everything else was delightful. If it’s even possible to enhance the magic of St Ives, Headland House and its delightful hosts are what does it. They are truly the main reasons we’re already hoping to return.

The perfect stopover

Mark & Fenella are the perfect hosts. We arrived very, very tired after a tough couple of weeks work, a funeral and a 300mile long drive. They immediately helped with organising place to eat. Room was spacious, shower excellent, bed well it took no time to zzzzzzzzzz. When we decided to stopover one more night and as they were fully booked, they did a ring round and found us a great place in St Ives. What more could you ask for. Their place is very comfortable, well located and a great place to relax. Breakfast ..perfect. I am very happy to recommend!

4/10 Poor

Owner gets bookings through Expedia, Expedia gets a cut of rental payment. Owner also gets bookings that don’t go through Expedia. Owner has genius idea to overcharge guests that book through Expedia so that he gets Exedia’s cut back. He does this by charging $12. US for parking each night in an unbelievably crappy parking lot, spaces so small I could barely get in & out of car. Direct renters pay nothing for parking. END RESULT FOR OWNER - a very ticked off customer leaving a poor review. There are lots of other places to stay there, suggest you find one of those.
