we stayed 3 nights in this b and b and although the pictures looked fab the place looked very different in reality. It is a nice little home and you get your keys for the front door and your room but the rooms look more like your are invited at a friends house then a hotel room. Everything is very organic, lets say alternative hippie style, ,with a large community room and even the toilets and showers are "biodegradable" ...so don't flush too often and wait a bit for warm water.breakfast was offered to us every morning but we politely declined because we wanted to have breakfast by the sea.....FRom the pictures i would have expected more contemporary style and more hotel service,but if you want to feel like in a family ,this is the right place to stay

Absolutely loved the organic panda. We had the lovely very large room 1, but have to say room 2 was equally as nice. Our views overlooking the sea from both windows was a winner though! The sun streamed through in the mornings. Beds were so comfty, ample and very nice shower gels, etc and plenty of tea and coffee. Fresh milk available instead of awful little tubs. Loads of storage - perfect. Then breakfast! Lovely choice and all very tasty.On top of all this the welcome and atmosphere just made us feel so comfortable. Would certainly recommend this lovely B and B :)

My family and I stayed in two rooms for a few nights and it was lovely, beautiful and relaxed design, very clean and modern. Very comfortable beds, good pressure showers, good storage, excellent made to order organic breakfast with plenty of food and selection. We had no trouble finding parking for our rental Peugeot station wagon, although with all of the one-way streets through town, it did take us a few tries to find the Panda the first time. Would recommend a GPS. There was a friendly and affectionate host cat who made me feel at home. Its got a great view from the top of the rise overlooking the ocean, and a quick walk in to townw. We ate at a different restaurant every night, all were great but we especially enjoyed Coast. I'd highly recommend this B&B.

I stayed in room 1 which was an amazingly light and spacious room at the front of the house, decorated and furnished to a really high standard. Relaxing room with brilliant warm and comfty bed. Wonderful views over St Ives town, The island and Portminister beach, as well as all that sea and sky - all from the room's 2 windows! Loved the owners interesting and colourful artwork displayed - exclusive exhibition to the B&B! Breakfast cooked to perfection and very tasty with loads of choice. Host Peter was really friendly, helpful and had lots of interesting tales to tell! :-) Brilliant groundfloor open plan area for guests with tv/dvds/giant leather beanbags...!!!...but previous reviews say the same thing! I'll stop there - stay here! You won't be disappointed. It's fabulous!!

We stayed in a twin room for one night at the Organic Panda B&B. The location is very convenient being a short walk from the ocean, restaurants, shops, etc. Please note, there is no carparking available! We parked our car at a nearby public carpark that charged a fairly decent rate for 24 hours, however we noticed the carpark was full later in the day, so it can be difficult to find a car spot. There is pretty much no on-road parking.Also, the B&B itself is quite difficult to find. The roads in St Ives are tiny, not well marked and often one-way. For the B&B, there was only a very small sign next to the front-door indicating that this was indeed the Organic Panda B&B, and the sign was also hidden behind a bush. A bigger sign for the property in a more visible location is definitely needed. Just make sure you look it up on the map before you try and find the place, particularly if you are coming by car!!The hosts were incredibly relaxed, generous and accommodating to our requests, and cooked us a delicious breakfast of our choice the following morning (vegetarian options available). The room and ensuite were modern, clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the binder full of information about the area that was provided in our room as well. The hosts really do seem to 'walk the talk' in terms of organic living, with most of the furniture, bathroom products, etc made from organic or recycled materials. Local artwork adorns the walls of the house.Would definitely recommend this place to travellers, but make sure that you consider the carparking situation beforehand, and that you know exactly where it is before you go!
