Have just returned from The Olive Branch. We really loved it. We went on recommendation from friends and agree, its great. The guesthouse is really nice and Karen and Mel were very friendly and helpful. Our room was well appointed and light and breakfast was very tasty. We're going back again in September.

We always feel very at home when we stay here, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. We stayed in room 1 this time which was great. It had a king size bed and a lovely power shower. Karen cooks a lovely breakfast which sets you up for the day. See you again in October.

Thought we would have a few days in St Ives before the town gets really busy. It was just what we needed. The Olive Branch never fails to disappoint, lovely hosts, nice bright room and delicious breakfast. Thankyou

We've stayed a few times at the Olive Branch. Its hard to go anywhere else once you've stayed here! I think what we love about the place is that you are always made to feel very welcome. Its bright, its airy and the rooms are lovely. The breakfasts are always very tasty as well. Thanks once again.

Would highly recommend the Olive Branch. We had a really nice break, St Ives is so beautiful so that combined with our stay here was perfect. The house is magnificent, its got lots of period features but also has quite a contemporary feel. Our room was very nice and breakfast was delicious - all in all a lovely stay.

We've stayed at The Olive Branch before and decided to go back for a second visit - it did not disappoint. We loved the room we were in, it was bright and well appointed with a seaview. Breakfast was lovely and our hosts were very attentive. Having a guaranteed parking space is also a definite plus. Thanks again.
