The Olive Branch

The Olive Branch Bed and breakfast accommodation in St Ives, Cornwall. A superb holiday location, minutes from the harbour, town and beaches. We also have off road parking. St.

We have five double rooms all with en-suite facilities, two of which can be converted to twin bedded rooms. Ives has a Mediterranean feel about it, with its maze of cobbled streets and alleyways, crescent shaped beaches with golden sands and turquoise sea - all set in the uniquely rugged granite landscape of West Cornwall. St Ives offers the holiday visitor everything that they could wish for in a

seaside resort. From the moment that you arrive in the town you will be stunned by the panoramic vistas that seem to greet you on every turn.

Yes St Ives… your dog is welcome too.🐕🏖

Heading to the St Ives Food & Drink Festival with your four-legged friend? Good news… dogs are welcome at the festival.

Although the seasonal dog ban will be in place from 15th May across our Blue Flag beaches, the landowner at Porthminster Beach has kindly made an allowance for responsible dog owners attending the festival.

Please note: all dogs must be kept on a lead at all times, with no exceptions.

The festival can get busy, so organisers do recommend considering whether the environment is right for your furry friend—but if they love a day out by the sea, they’re welcome to join in.
