As the title says, this is the second time I've stayed at this great B&B, having first stayed here in 2018. Looking back to my review then, my comments now are pretty much the same, with no complaints from an enjoyable few weeks' stay. First of all, location wise this B&B is in a great spot. About ten minutes leisurely walk from the Carbis Bay train station (which gets you to St Ives in minutes or slightly longer to St Erth, which is on the main line from Penzance to London and beyond). A few minutes longer and you’re on the beach. A bus stop right opposite with regular buses into St Ives or one a few minutes walk that can take you further afield (the coaster to Padstow, for example). You can also walk into St Ives, which takes a leisurely 30 minutes either following the road or by picking up the South West coast path down by the beach. The B&B is well maintained and well presented. I stayed in a small double room on the top floor with fantastic views of the coast. Tea/coffee making facilities are provided as well as a hairdryer. The bed/shower were both fine and I had no complaints about any aspects of the room. I slept soundly every night. Breakfast was continental, but with plenty of choice including fruit, pastries, various cereals, yoghurts, toast, waffles etc. Self service on everything except tea, which the owner Adrian provides if requested. This was perfect for my purposes and kept everything relaxed. It also means that breakfast extends over a couple of hours, from 8am to 10am, which provides for flexibility and should be fine for most people’s purposes. Adrian is friendly and helpful, checking in with everyone at breakfast and when you bump into him during the day. Just what you look for when you stay in a B&B. As I noted when I wrote a review in 2018, it is obvious that he has pride in what he’s doing, which helps to make the stay more enjoyable. WiFi is provided and on the top floor I had no connectivity issues. Overall, an excellent B&B.
