The Willows is in a great location. Close walk to the pubs, shops and restaurants. The room and en suite had a very cosy feel, in fact the whole house is decorated to a high standard. The best part of this B&B though is the owner, Julie, what a star! Julie brightens up your day and your belly with an... More

Stayed for one night only, but couldn't have been made more welcome. Greeted by the lovely owner and treated to tea and cake on arrival. Room a little small, but perfectly adequate, and lovely en suite with plenty of towels and nice things to put in the bath. Weather was atrocious, so after a quick trip into town to eat... More

We stayed for two nights at the end of October and had a thoroughly good time. We had the double room at the top of the house with a splendid view across the town. The room was rather small as was the en suite - but good enough. It was certainly very clean and tidy with masses of towels and... More

We stayed for one night at The Willows and would definitely recommend it. Beautifully presented room, excellent service, could not have asked for better. Only one negative point, the en-suite was small but we were offered a different room if we wished, as we were staying for one night only we stayed put due to the rest of the room... More

We stayed at The Willows for four nights and stayed in Room 1 at the front of the house. The room was really lovely, very clean and had fabulous views. I know St Ives pretty well from several previous visits, and the location is ideal, only a couple of minutes walk to the shops and the sea. Roberta was looking... More

Have just spent a week at The Willows in St Ives. It really is one of the nicest B&Bs we have come across. Our host Julie was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble - she was very attentive. Our room was large, bright and well appointed and had fabulous seaviews. Breakfast was to die for with a varied menu. We... More
