We stayed at The Olive Branch this summer and what a fab place it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived the owners went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. The house is stunning and absolutely immaculate, yet as soon as you enter The Olive Branch you immediately feel at... More

My wife and I have just had a lovely weekend at the Olive Branch. The room was very clean, and breakfast great. Having seen the difficulty of parking in St Ives it was definitely an added bonus to have the on site parking, We will be returning next year. Thank you for a great stay. More

We were sorry to have offended this couple but they were continually slamming their door. Unfortunately we have to addresss the problem if other guests are complaining about it. (incidently, these other guests were in their thirties). The issue was addressed politely. Perhaps it may have been more constructive to discuss the situtation with us whilst they were here. More

This was our first stay at The Olive Branch, and we found the B&B easy to find. A traditional Victorian bay fronted property, the Olive Branch was thoroughly modern and contemporary throughout, right down to the smart slate engraved signage outside. It was also exceptionally clean. The owner was there to greet us, was very friendly and gave us all... More

Arrived early on the first day after leaving very early in the morning to miss traffic. Owners were very welcoming and friendly when arrived even though we arrived during the breakfast service. The B&B is in a great location just a few minutes walk to the centre of St Ives and in walking distance to the train/bus station. Our room,... More

We stayed at the Olive Branch last week. Our stay was very comfortable and we enjoyed St Ives very much. The breakfasts were fab, plenty to eat. The parking arrangements worked well and we didn't have any issues at all with them. Room was well presented, clean and had everything we needed. More

Immaculate B&B, one of the cleanest I have stayed in. Very friendly, welcoming hosts. Excellent room (Room 3) with great views from bay window to the sea. Very comfortable bed. Superb service at breakfast. Great position for a short walk downhill to the bay and a brisk bit of exercise back at the end of the day! Great advantage to... More

We stayed at the Olive Branch In October 2010. This B & B is one of the best I have stayed in. The breakfasts, lovely, plenty of choice and plenty to eat, enough to keep you going all day. Our room was beautifully decorated and furnished, with an en suite, with shower. It is a clean and pleasant B &... More

This is the second time we have stayed here, I doubt it will be our last. We've stayed in a different room each time and they've both been nice. Breakfast is good and we are always made to feel welcome. More
