3 Porthminster B&B - A 3-star bed and breakfast with sea views, free parking, and locally sourced breakfast
3 Porthminster B&B occupies a three-story granite terraced house on Porthminster Terrace, offering panoramic views over St Ives harbour and bay. The property features four en-suite double rooms, all with sea views: Rooms 1 and 4 contain king-size beds, while Rooms 2 and 3 have standard UK double beds. Each room includes a kettle with tea and coffee supplies, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and toiletries. Guests at The Porthminster can choose between a full English breakfast with locally sourced Harvey Brothers sausages or a vegetarian option with homemade veggie sausage. The B&B provides free private parking for guests, though space is limited and depends on vehicle size. Located 650 metres from Porthmeor Beach, the property is a five-minute walk from St Ives town centre and its galleries, including Tate St Ives.
Pros
All rooms feature sea views and en-suite bathrooms with free toiletries.
Free private parking is available, a rare amenity in St Ives.
Breakfast uses locally sourced ingredients, including Cornish eggs and butter.
The property is within walking distance of multiple beaches and the Tate St Ives gallery.
Rooms include practical amenities like hairdryers and cooling mats for summer stays.
Cons
The steep hill location may challenge guests with mobility issues.
Room 2 has a compact layout with a small en-suite shower room.
“3 Porthminster B&B struck me as a particularly welcoming spot in St Ives, largely due to its friendly hostess and the little touches like custom breakfast orders. The location is ideal, a manageable walk from both the train and the town's attractions. Crucially, it solves the St Ives parking puzzle, making it a practical choice as well as a comfortable one.”
