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.

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.
Thankyou for a relaxing stay, just what we needed. 10 out of 10

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.

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.

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.

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.

Overall very good - shame about the tiny room

Great location, excellent breakfast and very attentive hosts.

Very disappointed by the size of the room - the Heligan is tiny - just enough room for the bed and very little wardrobe space - so had to keep my clothes in my case and it was a squeeze in and out of the bathroom - which has an opaque window - so if you dont mind seeing your partner on the loo then its ok. For a room described as 'deluxe' with a kingsize bed it was a let down, having travelled 300 miles to get there.

Overall though a pleasant stay and the service and breakfast were excellent.

Luxurious B&B in a great location

This was probably the highlight of our 5 week UK trip. Absolutely fabulous place. Great location, lovely walk to St Ives. Luxurious room with great view. We enjoyed the afternoon tea left for us each day and a drink in the Snug after our days travels was very enjoyable. The cooked breakfast each day was delicious. The hosts made us feel very welcome and provided great local information. We couldn't recommend this place more.

Beautiful furniture and amenities, an \"honestyy bar\", generous and not overstated bedrooms and bathroom, excellent breakfast and very friendly and caring staff and hosts. Also, amazing location, 150 yards from train station for a quick pop to St. Ives and Penzance.

Exceptional B&B.
Clean, well furnished. Easy on premise parking. 1 minute from Train into St Ives.
Beautiful breakfast.
Most impressive are the lovely owners, Mark met us on arrival, spent ages showing us around and offering advice on places to go and places to eat,
Then met Fenella, equally lovely, chatty and helpful.
Thoroughly recommend, will re-visit, if our travels take us that way again.

Great spot to explore St Ives

Headland House in Carbis Bay is just outside St Ives. Mark and Fenella are wonderful hosts who know the area well and can recommend plenty to do, eat and see.

We stayed in the Heligan room which was cosy and quiet.

If you’re thinking of a visit to St Ives, Headland House is a great spot to consider.

Lovely B&B close to beautiful beach and away from main tourist area of St Ives (still only a short walk or train ride away). Owners were very friendly and helpful and gave us all the information on the area. The B&B was beautiful and clean with comfortable beds, and the breakfast was incredible, and changed each day. We stayed in the Mousehole room which was a little on the small side, but was clean and comfortable and had a lovely bathroom.

Most enjoyable stay with the most wonderful hosts

My husband and I had a most wonderful stay at Mark and Fernella's gorgeous hotel. They are the most lovliest hosts we have come across and looked after both us both in such a kind manner. The decor is incredibly tasteful and the breakfasts were simply scrumptious . I would recommend this hotel to all. It is worth every penny. I cannot fault them. The special treat of cake left daily in our rooms was an extra little touch that I most enjoyed after a long coastal walk/shopping or after a day relaxing on the gorgeous beach. Location is superb

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!
