organic panda

The location was absolutely excellent and the breakfasts superb. Peter cooked to order, ensuring that my daughter had a gluten-free breakfast. There are many art works on display-very enjoyable. Thanks, Peter More towels would have been better.

The room and en suite bathroom were clean. Beds were comfortable. Delicious breakfast with organic options. Peter and Andrea were very helpful, and had great stories and recommendations to offer!

Large comfortable rooms, well-situated location near harbor, ocean views Nothing. Our hosts were gracious and immensely helpful

Breakfast and conversation with the host was great. Bathroom was disappointing and room needed a refresh.

Beautiful, spacious room with ocean view. Super comfortable bed. Great breakfast and friendly and accomodating host.

Excellent location- close to bus terminal and train station. Great views from room looking out towards the sea. Clean and spacious room with comfortable bed. Great host who made us feel very welcome. Loved all the art! Nothing in particular

The location was brilliant. Just a short walk to all the beaches and the harbour in St Ives. We didn’t realize that St Ives was such a hilly town but Peter and Andrea’s B and B was situated closer to the harbour so just one short climb. Very doable. Also very close to the train station which really helped us as we were travelling by train. Peter and Andrea were extremely helpful giving us great advice about things to see and do around the area and Peter cooked a great breakfast that kept us going all day. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was a perfect stay.

Very helpful host!

n a world of increasingly bland hospitality, Organic Panda with its creative flair, original artwork and genuine sense of welcome, made for a sterling stay. The bedroom was regal, the sea view lovely, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The host, Peter, was a gem. The location couldn’t be better, with both beach and town a short stroll away. A lovely treat altogether - I’ll be back!

Posizione A nightmare disguised as an “organic” stay – absolutely to be avoided. We booked “Organic Panda” in Saint Ives through Booking, misled by carefully curated photos and a misleading description that suggested a cozy, private accommodation. The reality was shocking. Upon arrival, we discovered that it was not a private lodging at all, but rather a shared house in a dilapidated state, where the owner rents out three rooms to unsuspecting guests. No privacy, poorly maintained common areas, and a depressing hostel-like atmosphere. Nothing charming about it. The house was dirty, smelly, and neglected in every way. The bed sheets and towels were clearly used, smelled awful, and were completely unfit for any kind of hospitality. The air inside was unbearable – a mix of humidity, mold, and stale kitchen odors that clung to everything, including our clothes. The so-called “included breakfast” was surreal: served at a communal table with complete strangers, using questionable utensils and ingredients of shockingly low quality. The food was inedible, and the level of hygiene was nonexistent. The salt and sugar were so damp and clumped together they looked like concrete. The smell coming from the kitchen was nauseating and spread throughout the entire house, making the stay unbearable. As if all that wasn’t enough, we discovered a hidden room in the attic – yes, really – accessible through a trapdoor concealed behind a bookshelf. That room, too, was being rented out. It felt like something out of a horror movie. Complete madness. And the price? €180 per night for two people. A complete scam for what is essentially a filthy, uncomfortable, and poorly run shared house. We spent a nearly sleepless night due to the overall discomfort and literally left feeling sick to our stomachs. Terrible experience. Strongly advise against it. Booking should seriously reconsider the properties it allows on its platform – this one is a disgrace and a trap for travelers.

Fabulous breakfast

Delicious breakfast especially the sausages and mushrooms. The BnB is perched on a hill overlooking the bay. Lovely to gaze out over the sea to the horizon from the sitting room in the morning.

Location was perfect for walking ?‍♂️ and host was fantastic!

Great style and lovely host. Perfect stay.

Location is good, great sea views as it's high up. The host was friendly and helpful. Room was big. Bed was comfortable. The property is very tired looking. Carpet on stairs is very marked and gruby looking. Curtains in room stained from condensation, the linings were torn. One bulb in bathroom ceiling lights not working. The temperature control in the shower was lose, in fact it came away in my hand. Kettle not easy to access as it's plugged in on bottom of a shelf (have to unplug the whole thing to take it to fill with water) It's advertised as having breakfast included so you'd expect to have some sort of breakfast menu. This isn't the case. You have to ask each morning what is available, and it is limited. Filter coffee extremely weak. No breakfast pastries offered. I asked for fresh orange juice one morning, was given half a small glass and told that was all that was left. I could understand this if occupancy was high, but as there were only a couple of people staying, this is very poor. I felt uncomfortable having to ask what was available for breakfast. The property is up for sale and this was reflected in the overall look and feeling of the place
