Ten Ocean View

Ten Ocean View is a sea-view bed and breakfast on Ocean View Terrace in St Ives, one of the most recognisable harbour towns in West Cornwall. The B&B holds 195 reviews averaging 8.3 on Booking.com, which reflects consistent satisfaction across couples and families staying short breaks.

Each en-suite guest room comes with a TV, iPod docking station, and free WiFi. The sea views look directly over Porthmeor Beach from the upper rooms. There is no on-site parking, which is standard for central St Ives - the town’s main car parks are a short uphill walk. A garden and guest bar are available on-site.

Porthmeor Beach is 0.4 km away on foot - it is one of the best surf beaches in Cornwall and faces the Atlantic directly. St Ives Harbour Beach is 0.5 km, and Porthminster Beach is 0.7 km. Tate St Ives gallery is within a couple of minutes’ walk. Restaurants and cafes in St Ives town centre are all accessible without a car.

Best for: couples and families wanting to walk to multiple beaches without driving, guests who value a town-centre location for galleries and restaurants. Less good for: guests who need reliable on-site parking, or those expecting self-catering kitchen facilities.
