Far from deluxe - don't book the Nook there is no breakfast served; rooms are very small, the bathroom is smaller than in a ship's cabin. There is no house-keeping either. If you book seaview, you are lucky to see a few waves from the sea between the buildings around nook. All in all: not worth the money

Location is within 15 min walk downhill to the beach/ town centre. Room had no WiFi signal. Downstairs there was a leak from first floor to the living room. Outdoor garden chairs were dirty. Small welcome pack was good to cope with lack of breakfasts. A bit too expensive for what's offering. Room was clean but place deserve some renovations

Before arrival the accommodation sends you details of how to access your room. They give you a key code to a safety box where your key is stored. A very clever idea, especially in the current climate. Once we entered the room we were greeted by a lovely bag of gifts. It contained local biscuits, apple juice and other things. A very nice gesture. The room is of ample size, as is the bathroom. They stay was very pleasant and we came and went as we pleased.
You can get tea/coffee/milk as you want it and there is an iron and ironing board in a small cupboard in the hallway. The bathroom shower didn't quite close properly and we couldn't have breakfast due to Covid-19. No problem as the room rate was discounted to accommodate. You get an early wake up call from the seagulls but I imagine that's an issue all over St Ives. If you struggle to walk a distance this might not be the place for you. The B & B sits on top of some steep roads. No issue for us though. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great B & B friendly staff excellent breakfast and with parking. Feels secluded and has a garden area to sit and relax with other guests. Walking distance from harbour and beaches with lots to do in walking distance. Rooms are bright and tastefully decorated with all you could need for a stay. I would certainly go back and stay there again.

We have been here twice now and it's not our favourite place. The staff are not warm and friendly, you just get the feeling they are there under duress. It's all clean and tidy but the rooms are small. Our heating didn't work very well and it was a bitter cold north east wind outside. The breakfast times are archaic.8.15 to 9.15.even at weekends. Who wants to get up that early when you are on holiday!
We didn't bother one morning and the second morning it was only average with no bowls of fruit salad just bananas and pears. And no friendly greeting from the waitress ( it was 9.05 and she gave the impression she wanted to get off duty asap ). The website says free parking but it's not. 2 pounds per day. Location is not that good especially if you can't walk far with a steep hill to get back to the hotel ( or is it a b and b really). The price was good and that was why we chose it. But all in all was it value for money? It's in the balance. I would give it a 2.5 but the system won't let me!

The Nook was all around a good place to stay: * Ideally located for someone who wants a car to take day trips from St. Ives while being as close to town center as possible. It was a bit of a hike up the hill, but we found it invigorating after a good dinner in town. Also, there is apparently some sort of inexpensive shuttle if needed. * Our family room was clean and comfortable, with a nice combination shower-bath. * Breakfast was good and plentiful, with various cereals, juices, fruits, and yogurt in addition to the ordered hot breakfasts.
While some of the hot breakfast options had a lot of food, the kitchen seemed open to a certain amount of mixing from the different menu items, which is good to avoid waste. * Communication with and flexibility of the owner was good - our arrival was delayed by tire trouble for a couple of hours, and when we notified the owner, John, he was quite understanding, sympathetic, and flexible to accommodate our late arrival.

What a Great place to stay check in was easy and I was ushered in and shown my small but perfect single room for my one night stay with shower and en-suite. Lovely outside area decked and with comfy chairs and the lounge area was welcoming. Its close to the town without being too near but It was a steep return (not that i did as I had the motorbike). Breakfast was fab and the scrambled egg and smoked salmon i had was delicious. Good value great location and friendly owners what more could you ask for. I'm going to return here with the wife for a long weekend soon and I know she'll love it too
