Green Apple Bed and Breakfast

8/10 Good
"I had an excellent stay at the Green Apple Bed and Breakfast. My room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, and there was a beautiful breeze coming from the ocean with the window open. The location is a close walk to the train station so you can go into St Ives quite easily. The breakfast was very good. Adrian was the main person I interacted with and he was very lovely, and clearly wanted to ensure that guests had a great experience. I really appreciated being allowed to leave my bag on site during the day after I had checked out so that I could go into St Ives without my heavy pack. My only suggestion would be to provide some form of written instruction for the check-in process once the customer has confirmed their check-in time, to avoid any confusion for guests on arrival."

"Great property with an excellent location. Lisa was very helpful sorting out some issues at the start. It was clean but certainly no frills or additional extras. It’s only equipped with basic amenities for cooking. We had hoped to buy local produce and cook at home, but pans weren’t even big enough to make pasta for 2 adults and 2 children."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely 5 night stay here. Location is excellent. We initially planned to stay in St Ives but due to the parking situation decided to stay in Carbis Bay instead. And there is parking spaces at the property as well as on street parking When we checked in , the lady was friendly and helpful The room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was great, had free wifi and fridge was stocked with juice, yoghurts, pastries as well as there being tea and coffee available and milk Location was perfect. It’s a 5/10 min walk from Carbis Bay beach, which is a lovely, chilled out beach that looks absolutely beautiful. We had a wander to the next beach across through a lovely scenic route in the hills Also St Ives is a 3/4 minute train ride from Carbis bay, or a nice Half hour walk Finally there were also some great places to eat nearby, we had an amazing fish and Chips at Becks which is just a few minutes walk away, had a couple of great meals at The Gannet and also picked up some yummy cakes from Yvettes Pantry which was a 10min walk away There is also a Costcutter right next to the property which came in handy, as well as a Tesco roughly 10/15mins away"
