This accommodation was by far the best B&B experience myself and my partner have had. With lots of personal touches, for example little slices of cake left in the room and personally meeting the B&B owners at the start of our trip. They are very friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure your stay is pleasant and smooth from start to finish. We would definitely visit again.

An unforgettable stay, made even more special by the wonderful people at Headland House! Waking up each morning to the stunning view of Carbis Bay from such an elegant room would be reason enough to recommend this place—but then comes breakfast. The spread is nothing short of a holiday feast: beautifully prepared, delicious, and served with care.
St Ives itself is charming (though do take the seagull warnings seriously—one nearly claimed my flapjack, and possibly a finger!), and while we had a slightly disappointing experience with the service at the Beach Club, everything else was delightful.
If it’s even possible to enhance the magic of St Ives, Headland House and its delightful hosts are what does it. They are truly the main reasons we’re already hoping to return.

The perfect stopover
Mark & Fenella are the perfect hosts.
We arrived very, very tired after a tough couple of weeks work, a funeral and a 300mile long drive. They immediately helped with organising place to eat. Room was spacious, shower excellent, bed well it took no time to zzzzzzzzzz.
When we decided to stopover one more night and as they were fully booked, they did a ring round and found us a great place in St Ives. What more could you ask for.
Their place is very comfortable, well located and a great place to relax. Breakfast ..perfect.
I am very happy to recommend!

Owner gets bookings through Expedia, Expedia gets a cut of rental payment. Owner also gets bookings that don’t go through Expedia. Owner has genius idea to overcharge guests that book through Expedia so that he gets Exedia’s cut back. He does this by charging $12. US for parking each night in an unbelievably crappy parking lot, spaces so small I could barely get in & out of car. Direct renters pay nothing for parking.
END RESULT FOR OWNER - a very ticked off customer leaving a poor review. There are lots of other places to stay there, suggest you find one of those.

Overall very good - shame about the tiny room
Great location, excellent breakfast and very attentive hosts.
Very disappointed by the size of the room - the Heligan is tiny - just enough room for the bed and very little wardrobe space - so had to keep my clothes in my case and it was a squeeze in and out of the bathroom - which has an opaque window - so if you dont mind seeing your partner on the loo then its ok. For a room described as 'deluxe' with a kingsize bed it was a let down, having travelled 300 miles to get there.
Overall though a pleasant stay and the service and breakfast were excellent.

Good location for touring or just visiting St Ives where train is just 5 mins walk away. Would definitely stay again.

The location of the property, view from the room, furnishings and fittings and lovely shower. Breakfast was amazing and staff very attentive.
Our only gripe was cleanliness of drawers not been cleaned and hair from another customer. Rubbish not taken out of the room and tea coffee not replenished when used, however would definitely stay here again just loved it

Luxurious B&B in a great location
This was probably the highlight of our 5 week UK trip. Absolutely fabulous place. Great location, lovely walk to St Ives. Luxurious room with great view. We enjoyed the afternoon tea left for us each day and a drink in the Snug after our days travels was very enjoyable. The cooked breakfast each day was delicious. The hosts made us feel very welcome and provided great local information. We couldn't recommend this place more.

Happy stay at the Headland B&B
The B&B was fantastic, the staff were really friendly and the breakfast was exceptional. Only a five minute walk from the beach - Carbis Bay. You get free cake in your room after it is made each afternoon (bonus).
The breakfast room has beautiful views of the beach and surrounding area.

Absolutely lovely.
What a wonderful evening we had. We wish we could have had a whole week. The house is stunning inside and out. Perfectly decorated, to entice wonder and joy. Beautiful furniture and amenities, an "honestyy bar", generous and not overstated bedrooms and bathroom, excellent breakfast and very friendly and caring staff and hosts. Also, amazing location, 150 yards from train station for a quick pop to St. Ives and Penzance.
