What was a fantastic holiday at Borthalan. It is cosy guest house. Perfect location, 5 minutes by walk the Corbis bay train station to go St Ives or St Erth. Room was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was amazing with Margret and Martin daily chat.
Thanks for everything, it was a pleasant stay for us.

We had a fantastic 7 night stay at Borthalan House in Carbis Bay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
The location is excellent, with the beautiful Carbis Bay beach just a 5-minute walk away. The crystal-clear water and stunning scenery made it the perfect place to relax. The nearby train station is also only a short walk away, making it incredibly easy to visit St Ives without the hassle of driving or parking.
Margaret and Martin were exceptional hosts from start to finish. They were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, offering excellent local recommendations and sharing their knowledge of the area, which really helped us make the most of our holiday.
Each morning started with a delicious freshly cooked fried breakfast, which set us up perfectly for a day of exploring Cornwall.
Overall, Borthalan House offered us a great combination of comfortable accommodation, a superb location, outstanding hospitality, and an excellent breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future.

Wow what can I say… we loved staying at Borthalan House. The location is perfect for St Ives with train station only a few minutes away and easy routes to beautiful places such as St Michael’s Mount and Minack Theatre. What made our stay extra special was Margaret and Martin who really looked after us. Margaret’s breakfast was delicious and Martin’s humour gives us a good kickstart to the day. Borthalan House was really cosy and the room we stayed in had lovely sea views. We will miss our daily chats with Margaret and Martin and if we return to Cornwall, we will be staying there again!

We were met with a really warm greeting from our hosts. They really made our stay, very knowledgeable about the local area and couldn't do enough to help. We had a good choice for breakfast which was freshly cooked and delicious. We stayed in Cozy Cove which is a lovely little double room with a fabulous view of the bay. Lots of thoughtful little touches like usb sockets, lots of plugs and coathangers. Everywhere was spotless and very homely. We did see previous reviews about the bathroom being small. It's not massive but it is really fresh looking and we didn't have any issues at all (and we're not skinny). Excellent location and parking on site. We'd definitely come back.

The Borthalan Hotel was amazing from the friendly and extremely helpful owners to the beautiful facilities and view. The owners provided all that we needed to get into St Ives and to walk around the local Carbis Bay Area - this made the visit that much more enjoyable. There is plenty of parking if you are driving to the Borthalan - which was a huge plus. The Breakfast was absolutely wonderful and they met all of my wife’s gluten allergy needs. We will absolutely visit again.

I don’t often leave reviews which is an indicator of how good this was. The weather and company was excellent which is always going to help but this is a great place to stay. Run like clock work- clean, great location, good facilities throughout, excellent shower and breakfast and hosts who make you feel at home and care for your every need.
I would certainly return and recommend to friends and family.

Margaret and Martin are lovely people who made us feel more than welcome. Our room had a wonderful sea view and was well equipped. I would say that Hotels.com has titiled the Borthalan as a hotel but I personally think it is a B&B - but a lovely one.
