Great place to stay near St. Ives
We had a lovely stay at Mustard Tree. Anna and Mark are great hosts - we were given a very warm welcome at check-in and they also dedicated time to chat with guests and offered invaluable travel tips around Cornwall. Rooms were clean and had everything we needed.
Overall an excellent experience - would highly recommend!

Brilliant family run B&B and very modern
This is an excellent property at a very good location. The host is very friendly and super efficient. The accommodation is very clean, modern and all the necessary supplies are provided. The breakfast option is very good and there is a very good vegetarian restaurant (The Bean Inn) within walking distance but it is very small, so pre booking is recommended. Mark and Anna have compiled a very good guide for all the information you would need for your stay and exploration. I highly recommend The Mustard.

The place is spotlessly clean, Mark and Anna are friendly, helpful and approachable, breakfast was great and the facilities in the room were just what was needed. The bed was comfy and warm too! I had a really great stay and would definitely recommend staying here.
