Again we enjoyed beeing with Terry and Paul (and the little girls(dogs))for another 8 days. And the view over St. Ives and Godefrey is always amazing! It is very quiet and if you want some more tourists you just have to walk 5 minutes downtown to St. Ives. It is one minute from the South West Coast Path! The days... More

My partner and I had the best time over New Year. terry and Paul are just the perfect hoteliers, breakfast is delicious and one is always spoiled for choices. Our room had perfect views over the town and the bay. This is the perfect place for walks towards the beaches or into town. Or else, one can rent bicycles or... More

There are innkeepers and then there are Innkeepers. Terry and Paul are two of best that we have had the good fortune to meet at the dozens of B & B’s we’ve stayed at over the years. They are warm, professional to the max, and just great people. Their many years of experience as airline stewards have served them well.... More

Our second visit within 2 months and planning a third after Christmas. Beautiful rooms, fantastic views over St Ives Bay, wonderful breakfasts with so much choice of perfectly and freshly cooked food. Above all we appreciate the kind attention of Terry and Paul who devote themselves to making their guests welcome from arrival to departure - in our case from... More

This was our second stay at the Shun Lee; first class establishment, first class hospitality, first class.......................well, everything!!!! Sometimes when you return to a holiday destination second time round it never quite lives up to the previous experience, this could never be said about the Shun Lee. We had the most wonderful and relaxing time, never wanting for anything; all... More

This was not my first time staying at Shun Lee but the welcome, the room, the food and the attention to detail was as professional as ever. Terry and Paul's standards are exceptionally high and it is that which makes every stay at Shun Lee House so special, perfect and memorable. I am, already, looking forward to my next visit.

We decided to visit St Ives to celebrate a special birthday and in the process, arrive by a special means of transport - by our two feet, having walked the coast path from Plymouth. Why Shun Lee? We had read such good reports of this hotel in Trip Advisor and thought it would make an ideal choice. We were right.... More

This guest house was the most enjoyable place we stayed on a 13 week European trip. A stunning location overlooking St Ives (a short walk away). A lovely room looking out to Godefry Lighthouse and the most wonderful hosts. By the time we left we felt we had been visiting some very good friends and we hope to see Paul... More

Shun Lee offered the standards of a 5 star Hotel combined with hospitality and warmth of welcome by two great guys. Our room was wonderful; spacious, spotless and inviting with fascinating dual aspect views of the St Ives bustle and Hayle beach and Godrevy Lighthouse - we got fresh coffee, chilled milk and beautiful roses. Lovely spacious bathroom with oodles... More
