The proprietors, Sharon and David, were very friendly and welcoming and the decor and furnishings of the property were very tasteful. The quality and variety of food on offer for breakfast was excellent 😍There were cereals, delicious yogurts, fresh fruit salads, various Danish pastries and croissants, as well as the wonderful cooked breakfasts on offer. The location of the property is excellent, as it is in close proximity both to bus stops and the train station and within walking distance of Carbis Bay beach and the coastal path to walk to St Ives. There are also, several restaurants in close proximity to the property.

We were pleased with everything 😀

My stay at Downsfield was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of luxurious accommodations, outstanding breakfast, top-notch amenities, and exceptional service made it an unforgettable experience. My room was nothing short of perfection. It was impeccably clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to ensure my stay was perfect. They genuinely cared about my comfort and satisfaction. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay. I can't wait to return for another visit in the future.

The room was spacious, nicely decorated and very clean, with a comfy bed and pillows. There was a chest of drawers, two bedside tables (with drawers) and a hanging area with 7 hangers, plus a full length mirror and single hard-backed chair. Tea and coffee making facilities and a TV were also available for use. There was a large shower in the en suite bathroom, as well as individual bottles of shampoo and shower gel. There was some noise from the road, as the warm weather meant that the window needed to be left open, but this was not much of a disturbance. There was daily housekeeping available, if desired. The location was good, next to the bus stop and a short walk away from a couple of restaurants (including a fish & chip shop which, if the restaurant is closed for the night, it's worth checking to see if the take-away is still open) and the beach. Several hot options to choose from at breakfast, which was filling and cooked as per the orders given to the owner the night before. This was served to the table by one of the two friendly staff members. There was a cold buffet spread of yoghurts, fruit, small pastries, cereals and fruit juice. The property felt cosy and had some nice touches, such as a bowl of sweets in the front hall. There was no communal area for sitting in outside of the breakfast hours, but this was not an issue. There was off-road parking, as others have mentioned.

Apart from a brief polite conversation at the time of check-in, the only interaction with the owner during the stay was via the booking.com messaging system asking about the next day's breakfast order. A bit pricey but probably to be expected for the location and time of year. It would be good to expand the guest information booklet in the rooms to include local bus and train times and more information about local restaurants and amenities.

Really comfortable bed and extremely clean and well decorated bedroom with spacious beautiful ensuite. We didn't mind parking approx 100 yds down the road and the B&B covered the cost as not enough parking on the driveway. Nice walk down to Carbis Bay (steep obviously!) Beautiful garden and host warm and welcoming; we were allowed to arrive early to get ready for a wedding at Carbis Bay hotel which was great!

Small mistake with the breakfast order and 'cosy' inside breakfast area. Quite a busy road outside which, thankfully, wasn't busy at night.

Sharon is such an amazing host, since before we arrived she was so accommodating and this continued all through our visit. Her B&B is perfect and has such a homely feel which is what we wanted. It fully deserves the 5* and I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who looking for a trip to Cornwall and Carbis Bay. The breakfast was delicious and the staff serving breakfast really wanted to get to know you and went above and beyond to get to know you.

Nothing! can’t fault it :)

The room was very clean and tidy, with a lounger chair, plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space. complementary tea / coffee and biscuits. Our host was welcoming and the breakfast had variety and was really tasty. location was about 40 minute walk from the centre of St Ives, 20 minutes from Carbis Beach, and close to the bus stop for longer journeys. There was an excellent fish & chip chip, and a Tapas bar close by, both of which we tried and were very good.

In our room, the bathroom and shower was very small. It was a bit like showering in a telephone box. My wife said the coffee was very weak.

Very comfortable bed, beautiful decor and tastefully decorated - dining room lovely. Very convenient with bus to St Ives just across the road. Breakfast was amazing. Staff lovely and Owners very helpful and friendly friendly

With weather being a little unpredictable and rainy could not use the lovely garden so would have loved to be able to relax at the end of the day in the communal lounge but it was locked after breakfast

Everything! From the place ,so well decorated and well looked after . Clean and professional staff. They made me feel home and treated me like a member of the family. I have never been treated so well in all the hotel and B&B I have visited ! My staying was amazing . Food delicious and loved my room . I would high recommend this place to everyone . Walking distance from Carbis bay beach which is breath taking . A walking path which you can get easily to St Ives . Such a beautiful place to visit . Well connected with the train to St Erth .which you can get a train to London . Or by bus which the bus stop is just opposite the B&B. I will definitely come back next year !

The only thing I disliked it was the day I had to leave. I would have loved to stay more :)

Spotless. Comfortable bed and very high spec bathroom. Great choice at breakfast. Staff were all very attentive. Away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives but easy to walk via the costal path or via a bus that stops outside the property.

The view from the window looked onto 2 shepherd huts. Therefore I felt uncomfortable looking out of the window as people from the shepherd huts were sunbathing

Lovely room with a beautiful Seaview. Lovely breakfast with various options to choose from. Very comfortable bed 😊

The parking was confusing to start with having to park somewhere else but after arriving host said we could park on site. Only thing I can say about the room is I would have liked a full length mirror but no big issue. The bath wasn’t working in our room but had a lovely big shower so no issue for us.
