Just spent 2 nights in a Double Room at the Anchorage, and it felt like a cozy home base! Perfect location close to the harbor and super clean rooms. The steep stairs were a bit tricky, but the charm of the place totally makes up for it!

Why it’s almost great (but not quite)

The house exudes character with its charming 17th-century design, and the fresh fruit and flapjacks are a delightful touch! !

Beware of steep stairs that can be a challenge with mobility issues, and the parking situation is nearly impossible.

Had an awesome stay! The breakfast was choice, heaps of yummy options, but the stairs felt pretty steep. Great location, just a hop away from the beach!

We loved our stay at this charming guest house, especially the cozy atmosphere and gorgeous views from our double room. The location is perfect for exploring the local beaches and art galleries, and Amanda made sure we had everything we needed during our visit with our child.

In my wife’s opinion, more family-friendly activities would be great.

Had an amazing time with friends visiting the beaches and galleries nearby. Rooms were comfy and had lovely harbor views. The place is perfect for exploring, and Amanda was so welcoming. Highly recommend staying here!

The stairs to the room felt a bit tricky, so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues.

Loved the cozy vibe with fresh fruit and flapjacks—so nice! The room was comfy and clean, but parking was a real hassle. 😅

Superb cream blue interior design.

the anchorage is ideally located just steps from the harbour and many fantastic restaurants, perfect for exploration. our host was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfasts, freshly made with a great variety, were truly superb!

most stairs are rather narrow.

Charming old house with a lot of character and modern conveniences with adequate comfort for a stay. The central location makes accessing local attractions a breeze, with steep climbs to the beach being a distant memory.

Parking is a significant drawback. options are limited and a trek away. The stairs inside are steep and narrow, requiring some ducking, which could pose challenges with mobility issues. No daily housekeeping unless requested in advance, making for a less tidy experience throughout your stay.

Had a lovely stay the self-service check-in was super easy and made us feel at home right away

It wasn't exactly a bargain but still reasonable for everything we got

Good pick for a city trip in St Ives with exceptional value. The room was cozy, perfect for resting after exploring. Try to plan your arrival early to find parking more easily.
