Little Gem

We were met with a really warm greeting from our hosts. They really made our stay, very knowledgeable about the local area and couldn't do enough to help. We had a good choice for breakfast which was freshly cooked and delicious. We stayed in Cozy Cove which is a lovely little double room with a fabulous view of the bay. Lots of thoughtful little touches like usb sockets, lots of plugs and coathangers. Everywhere was spotless and very homely. We did see previous reviews about the bathroom being small. It's not massive but it is really fresh looking and we didn't have any issues at all (and we're not skinny). Excellent location and parking on site. We'd definitely come back.

Lovely B&B

Margaret and Martin are lovely people who made us feel more than welcome. Our room had a wonderful sea view and was well equipped. I would say that Hotels.com has titiled the Borthalan as a hotel but I personally think it is a B&B - but a lovely one.

Just perfect

I don’t often leave reviews which is an indicator of how good this was. The weather and company was excellent which is always going to help but this is a great place to stay. Run like clock work- clean, great location, good facilities throughout, excellent shower and breakfast and hosts who make you feel at home and care for your every need. I would certainly return and recommend to friends and family.

We felt like Home

We spent there 2 days and we felt like being at Home, but in a beautiful place (Carbis Bay near St. Ives) and with very kind people (the owners). If we decide to return in Cornwall we'll sure stay there. Ps: the breakfast was amazing!

I had the most delightful stay at Borthalan Hotel, Margaret and Martin made me most welcome, it was very peaceful and restful. I was really surprised the lovely breakfasts were included, somehow I missed that. My room was really lovely, I felt quite at home ,all I needed was there. The transport system is amazing, not expesive and reliable. Definitely recommend a stay there.

Very comfortable, clean and friendly establishment. Beautiful sea view from rooms 5 & 7. I don’t know about orhers Good hearty full English breakfast. Excellent service. Very close to carbis bay station and it’s only £1 to get into ST Ives (05/07/22). I liked it here a lot and intend to stay again.

On arrival it was explained that rooms would not be serviced as we were only there 3 days. We were only left one 20ml tube of shower gel & shampoo for 2 for 3 days. The bathroom was very small and had no natural light. Breakfast was good and cooked to order
