Have just returned from a much needed break in St ives. We stayed at the Olive Branch because it had been recommended to us and we were not disappointed. Our room was comfortable clean and bright and had seaviews. Breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Would we return ...... most definitely! More

My wife and I have just come back from the olive branch. We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were very nice and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Thankyou once again. More

Stayed here again for the third time. We like the olive branch because of its location. The rooms are very nice and the breakfast is good. The hosts are always attentive and we feel really at home here. Our only regret is that we had to go home. More

... just as we did!! So welcoming, beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless room! We stayed in number 5 which was spacious and had everything we needed- even a sea view.... small downside no lovely bath to relax in- but the shower was gorgeous all the same!! Nothing was too much trouble and there was the absolute right level of checking... More

Stayed at The Olive Branch for the second time. We had a different room but it was just as nice as the one we had for our first visit. As usual breakfast was good and it was great to see Karen and Mel again. See you again in September! More

A friend and I decided to take a much needed break so decided to book into The Olive Branch in St Ives for a few days. It was very nice. Karen and Mel are really lovely people and nothing seemed too much trouble. Having never been to St Ives before they were very informative and also recommended some nice places... More

Just returned from our stay at the olive branch. This b&b is so nice. We had driven through the night and got to St Ives really early. We thought we would have to hang around until lunchtime which is generally the norm when checking into places. On arrival Karen (one of the owners) said we could get into our room... More

How would I describe this B&B .... pleasantly understated. I have worked in the hotel inspection business for many years and am now retired, but you never really switch off. I booked here assuming it would be one of the middle of the road places. It was actually much nicer. In our opinion although it has a four star grading,... More

I stayed here last month with my partner. The house was really impressive. Apparently the first occupant was a Sea Captain which didn't surprise us as the place had lots of character. Our room was very nice and comfortable and breakfast was good. Have booked again in September. More

I wanted to stay somewhere special for our anniversary so we booked into the Olive Branch as it looked really nice on their website. It certainly didn't disappoint. Unbeknown to me, my husband had liaised with the owners to order some flowers before we arrived. They were absolutely beautiful. We had a front facing room which was lovely with seaviews.... More
