Fantastic Bed and Breakfast!
Fantastic 2 night stay in this wonderful and personal bed and breakfast. Owner Kerry was a great host and made us feel very welcome. Beautiful room with fantastic views and the best cooked breakfast. Would highly recommend
Nicola stayed with us in October 2019 and gave us a 10/10 (see booking.com reviews)



My Mum and I both agreed this was the perfect stay in St Ives.
Ebb is at the end of a private road and is very peaceful. We were welcomed from the moment we arrived at Ebb,by Kerry and felt at home instantly. Our room was so spacious and luxurious and spotless. The sea views from the double aspect windows are incredible The attention to detail is amazing , Kerry has thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay. I had the best nights sleep in ages , the bed was so comfortable. Kerry is an amazing host and the variety of breakfast is great, especially if your like me and have an intolerance to certain foods. We cant wait to return.

We were awarded 5/5 from our lovely guests from High Wycombe in September



  • A wonderful experience, will be recommending Ebb to family and friends
    Kerry is a fantastic host. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Ebb is a stunning place to stay. The views from are room were amazing. Kerry has put a lot of thought and effort into giving everything you could possibly need for a 1 night or 1 week stay.  I had the best night sleep , the bed was very comfortable.
  • Samantha gave us 10/10 - see booking.com reviews September 2019.
    ​
  • An excellent base that exceeded all expectations. We would return again with hesitation
  • Kerry was a lovely host and nothing was too much trouble. Ebb St Ives was a great place to stay and as there is only one letting room you really do get exceptional treatment. We would recommend Ebb St Ives without any reservations - other than the walk back from the centre might be a little challenging to older/infirm people. However this is St Ives. It has hills. They go up as well as down ;-)
    First impression was that it could have done with a larger fridge as the one in the room is very small. However after a couple of days we realised that we didn't really need the fridge for anything other than keeping the milk fresh that Kerry provided for us.
  • Stuart gave us a 10/10 - see Booking.com Reviews
  • Great Stay in St Ives!
  • We had an amazing few days, the house is a short walk to the beaches and was perfect for us. Would recommend highly to anyone thinking of visiting St Ives. Breakfast was fantastic too and hosts so friendly. 10/10
  • Sam and Kristina from London August 2019. (See Booking.com)






  • Lovely little B&B
  • This was a lovely little B&B just a short walk from the centre of St Ives. Really private and very welcoming. Breakfast was amazing and the room views were beautiful. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet stay.
    Everything was perfect.
  • Rebecca gave us a 10/10 - see Booking .com Reviews August 4th 2019

  • Great stay
  • Nice location 10 min walk to all restaurants and beachfront. Kerry was great host and made sure we have everything we need. Room and bathroom spotless clean. Nice selection of coffees and tea in room. Excellent breakfast.
  • Monica gave us a 10/10. (see booking.com reviews)July 2019.









  • 10/10 would recommend to couples we’ll be back for sure
  • Hosts were attentive and accommodating! Really good recommendations locally, only a short walk in to the harbour. Beautiful garden terrace to enjoy breakfast, which was a huge selection and cooked to perfection!!
  • Mathew July 2019 - see booking.com reviews


  • Gorgeous bed and breakfast
  • The room was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Kerry, the host, was so warm and friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful.
  • Only tiny thing is that there a steep incline to walk up back to the bed and breakfast from the town but you can always get a taxi if needed , we didn’t mind it but for older guests or people with mobility issues you might need a taxi up
  • Elaine from Ireland. June 2018. See Booking.Com Reviews.
  • ** Thanks Elaine for you lovely review. We loved having you both to stay.  It is a helpful point about the hills in St Ives! Just to add - there is a regular bus service that passes the end of our road and will drop passengers off on request. At peak times there are 2 buses that circulate approximately every 20 mins.

  • A fantastic 5 day break at ebb and will definitely return.
  • Kerry was the perfect host, who went to great lengths to make our stay a comfortable one. The breakfasts were exceptional with a great choice, also catering for different dietary needs. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious and tastefully decorated and kitted out, the bedroom having a lovely scenic view towards the bay and lighthouse. To the side of the breakfast room is an attractive pot planted patio, with comfy sofa to relax on before and following breakfast. Kerry has a great knowledge of St Ives and gave us some very useful tips and information about local beaches, footpaths and places to eat. With parking being a bit of a nightmare in St Ives, having your own car park space at ebb was very convenient, providing the opportunities to make a 15 minute scenic walk down to the town without the hassle of fighting for spaces in the town's carparks.
  • David from GB gave us a 10/10. June 2019. See Booking. Com Reviews

"An exceptionally presented bnb which ticked all the boxes."
A warm reception, wonderfully comfortable and private room and a breakfast I’d love every morning. 
Kerry was a lovely host. 5 stars!!!
Brenden. February 2019

  • Kerry is an absolutely fantastic host, and her breakfasts were amazing. So much choice and nothing was a problem for her. Wish we had stayed a few more nights just to try out a couple more options on the breakfast menu. Room was perfectly clean and had everything we possibly needed. Just a 10 min walk to town. Would definitely stay here again.

Well appointed sea view room. Extremely comfortable bed and generous en suite facilities. Good choice of breakfast and car parking on site. Host Kerry was lovely and welcomed us into her home without intruding on our privacy. Would stay there again.
Tips for other travellers
The Xmas craft markets and lantern parade (Xmas lights switch on) Is great to see. Lots of lovely places to eat and artisan shops and galleries.

"A very special gem of a B&B"
We stayed at Ebb so that we could enjoy a night out in St Ives out of season. Ebb was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and Kerry made us very welcome. We had a very comfortable nights sleep and an exceptional breakfast. Attention to detail and customer service are high priority for this very special gem of a B&B.I have no hesitation recommending Ebb.
Guests from Cornwall. November 2018.



"What a fabulous place to stay! Was made to feel so welcome by Kerry. She really does take pride in her home and you can see that from the quality of the room we stayed in. Breakfast was amazing. Everything you can want on a breakfast. Kerry couldn't do enough for us. We will be back again for sure!
This guest from Bristol awarded us a 5/5 - see freetobook reviews. November 2018.



"A fantastic stay with a fantastic host and incredible cook! The highlight was the stunning breakfasts and the breakfast menu. We are food snobs and this was by far the best breakfasts we have had in any hotel or B&B. Simply stunning and beautifully cooked and healthy but also indulgent at the same time.
Room was gorgeous, a great size. Clean and bright with beautiful views to Godrevy lighthouse. Lovely size bed and decent duvet.
Harry the dog is a delight and the atmosphere, warm welcome and care was exceptional.
Would love to stay again"

​This guest from South Croydon awarded us a 5 star review - see freetobook reviews.



"Our stay at Ebb St Ives was outstanding! Kerry was a fantastic host, making us the most delicious breakfasts every morning and check in with us to ensure everything in the room was perfect. The location is great, an easy walk down the hill to St Ives and then back up again, a little slower, to work off all the lovely food. The onsite parking was a bonus also. Thank you Kerry for a great stay!

"It was great!"
This guest form Bristol awarded us a 5/5 star rating - see freetobook reviews



​"Everything is great at Kerry's B&B. The room is beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable and a lot of thought has gone into making your stay very pleasant, including a well equipped and large bathroom with a powerful shower. There is a decent hairdryer, a wonderfully comfy bed with soft pillows, a coffee maker, fresh milk in a flask and a good choice of other drinks. The breakfast is fantastic in Kerry's lovely dining room, with plenty of choice and all delicious. The location for us was great, being car less, with buses going into town and along the coast to Land's End stopping very nearby and with east access to walks to Zennor and beyond at the top of the road. Kerry is lovely, friendly and interesting host and I can't imagine a nicer place to stay"

"Excellent new bed and breakfast in St Ives. 
Our host could not do enough to ensure our stay was an excellent one.The room was as nice as the pictures suggested and of course it is very close to the St Ives town and beach,. The breakfast was fantastic considering it is a one room occupancy with a great selection including a cooked and uncooked menu and having a nespresso machine in the bedroom is a great bonus. I would highly recommend this property and the price for the area is very reasonable"

A good selection of tea and coffee in the room with a coffee machine. The ensuite shower was great with a hot and powerful shower.Toiletries provided were an added bonus. An excellent selection of breakfast dishes all cooked to perfection. The host was very friendly and hospitable. The best B&B we've ever stayed in. We will definitely go back.

Position is up high, which is fine if no mobility issues. There is a bus service which runs every 1/2 hour up and down hill and stops right outside Tate Gallery. Very good service."
