Named after the Legend of St Ives, Little Leaf Guest House is situated in the heart of St Ives overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and St Ives Harbour, just a 2 minute walk from the town centre.

There are 5 unique rooms, each one tailored to ensure that you have the most comfortable stay possible. Breakfasts are generous and use locally sourced ingredients, and there is a private terrace where you can enjoy a coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening.

There are flat screen televisions with freeview in each room, free wi-fi, and an iPad available for guest use. There is a selection of DVDs and books for you to use while staying and the painters among you can hire easels.

Packed lunches and walkers teas are all available on request; and we will endeavour to cater for all dietary requirements, with vegetarian options always available.

Little Leaf is not just a name it’s a philosophy, and we do our best to be as eco-friendly as possible. We strive to mimimise energy usage and use local produce – investing in the community we love.

BEDS
Little Leaf Guest House has 5 beautifully appointed rooms. All are completely unique so give us a call to find out the best one for you. There are 4 double rooms all en-suite and 2 have stunning, panoramic views of St Ives Harbour and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the 4 double rooms, there is also a family room with a double bed, bunk beds, and a full en-suite bathroom with a bath.

BREAKFAST
At Little Leaf Guest House we believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Every day we offer fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurt, and fruit juices; followed by a full English breakfast. There is always one other hot dish for those who prefer variety and this changes daily. Vegetarian options are always available, and we will endeavour to accommodate all dietary requirements.

All rooms at Little Leaf Guest House have a kettle with a selection of teas, herbal teas and coffees. There are flat screen TVs with freeview, wi-fi broadband internet, a hairdryer, handwash and shampoo/shower gel. Importantly, especially in the summer, all the curtains have blackout lining so you won’t be woken up at 5am. We want you at breakfast… but not that early!

In the lounge there are a selection of DVDs and books for you to borrow, with an iron and ironing board available on request.

Room One has…

A double bed and an en-suite shower room with separate sink. It’s on the first floor and overlooks the back of the house (which is pretty green). We’ve used our favourite fabric for floor length curtains with matching cushions; and there are plenty of shelves, hooks and a wardrobe for all those things you packed but probably won’t need.

Room Two has…

A king size bed, and walk-in shower room. It’s on the first floor and there are spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and St Ives Harbour, which can be seen from either the armchairs in the bay window or the private balcony where you can sit and watch the world go by.

Room Three is…

Suitable for a family, or two or three friends. It has a double bed with a set of bunk beds which can be completely ignored if there’s just the two of you. There is tons of light and it’s a real sun-trap in the late afternoon. It has a great en-suite bathroom and is our only room with a bath and a shower. There is a small armchair for those times you don’t want to face the television and plenty of space for bags, hats and coats.

Room Four is…

The cosiest room in the house. Right up in the eaves on the second floor it has loads of character, with more than enough room for a double bed and en-suite shower room with a separate sink. It overlooks the back garden and has lots of cute nooks and crannies for all your bags and toiletries. We love it and are very proud of it.

Room Five is…

Right up at the top of the house with ‘sky scraper’ panoramic views of St Ives Harbour and the Atlantic. It has a double bed and a new en-suite shower room with separate sink. The two armchairs nestle into the eaves of the room where you can disappear into a cup of tea or coffe, read a book and feel totally at peace, or take in the views of St Ives using the large skylight.

Whichever bedroom you choose the facilities are the same and everyone has full access to the breakfast room, lounge area and front terrace all day and into the evening.

The breakfast room and terrace have wonderful views and are both relaxing and bright in equal measure. The breakfast room has a beautiful, original fire place and wooden floors, the lounge area has a sofa and the terrace outside has a wooden bench with tables for your coffee or glass of wine.  There is an iPad here for guest use and also a honesty bar selling a selection of wines and local beers.
