Tregony Guest House

Tregony Guest House is a VisitBritain 4-star silver-rated bed and breakfast in St Ives, overlooking Porthmeor Beach with views to Clodgy Point and the Island. It has four en-suite rooms and one room with a private, separate bathroom. Booking.com guests rate it 9.7 out of 10 from 264 reviews.

Each room has a TV, free WiFi, tea and coffee making facilities and a hairdryer, with family rooms offering sea views and private bathrooms. Breakfast is a full English or Irish spread with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, served in the dining room with fruit and juice alongside the warm dishes. Dogs are welcome, though there is no on-site parking, and the guest house sits close to the bus and train stations for guests without a car.

Porthmeor Beach is 300 metres from the door, with St Ives Harbour Beach also 300 metres and Porthminster Beach 400 metres. Tate St Ives is a 5-minute walk away. The town centre and harbour, with its restaurants and cafes, are close by, and Penzance is a 20-minute drive. Land's End and the Minack Theatre are around 45 minutes further.

Best for couples or dog owners wanting a central, walkable St Ives base close to the beach and galleries. Less good for anyone bringing a car, since the guest house does not offer parking.
