Very good adress, large Breakfast choice, location is good although in a very build up area it is close to the beach and beautiful sea side walks.
We enjoyed the sea view from our room and tea and coffee provided.

Long weekend in carbis bay
Lovely guest house, v friendly owners and great views/location . Booked to attend wedding at carbis bay hotel, vfm this was far better!!!’
We spent there 2 days and we felt like being at Home, but in a beautiful place (Carbis Bay near St. Ives) and with very kind people (the owners).
If we decide to return in Cornwall we'll sure stay there. Ps: the breakfast was amazing!

Lovely hotel everything was perfect. Could not do enough to make us more welcome. Excellent room with lovely views and a great breakfast with lots of choice. Highly recommended.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Borthalon House. Martin and Margaret were wonderful hosts. They were so friendly and engaging and willing to help in any way they could. Margaret cooked an excellent hot breakfast each morning. Would definitely recommend.
I had the most delightful stay at Borthalan Hotel, Margaret and Martin made me most welcome, it was very peaceful and restful. I was really surprised the lovely breakfasts were included, somehow I missed that. My room was really lovely, I felt quite at home ,all I needed was there.
The transport system is amazing, not expesive and reliable. Definitely recommend a stay there.
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.
Spotlessly clean top class room excellent breakfast Hosts were attentive and helpful Free parking which is always a bonus would definitely stay there again.Highly highly recommend
The people their management. Friendly, helpful, always polite, full of life and entertaining.
We will come back!

I want to stay again
Very comfortable, clean and friendly establishment.
Beautiful sea view from rooms 5 & 7. I don’t know about orhers
Good hearty full English breakfast.
Excellent service.
Very close to carbis bay station and it’s only £1 to get into ST Ives (05/07/22).
I liked it here a lot and intend to stay again.
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.
