All the staff were very friendly and did there best look after me from the moment I checked in till the moment I left. The room I had was very nice with views over Porthminster Beach on the one side and views over the harbour area on the other. One of the staff called Jack especially looked after me.

The bed was very comfortable but it was really cold. I think it was because the room was at the end corner of building. My neighbor in next room said that when she and her husband went by that night they could feel the cold air coming out under my door in the very small hallway. It was Oct and very windy.

We absolutely loved this hotel. Our room overlooked St. Ives Bay. From our balcony (& even our room), we could see town, watch the tide come in & go out, see the night lights in town, and watch daytime activities on the beach. Made you want to stay in the room all of the time (but we didn't). The staff was helpful, considerate, & friendly. I loved the artwork by "Howard", a local, that was displayed throughout the hotel. Great views from the dining area too. The hotel was clean, quiet, close to town and the beach.

A great stay
A lovely stay, made even more perfect with the weather as we could sunbathe and swim in the pool. The room was compact but fine for two nights. Only slightly a problem being 9 months pregnant the bathroom was hard to navigate and fit in the shower but under other circumstances it would have been fine. The amenities were great such as a coffee machine, canned water and biscuits. The view was beautiful however it didn’t pre-warn you that this was over the terrace so people can sit or walk past. The breakfast was lovely and a nice choice of buffet/cooked items. The hotel is clean and all staff really friendly and helpful. Only a few things to improve it: More hooks in the room More ventilation in the room as very hot but nothing seemed to dry Better access to the pool so you don’t have to walk through the restaurant. Overall a great stay :-)

I had a great time at the hotel. It is in an excellent location - right in the heart of St Ives, and the views from the restaurant and our room are breath-taking. The only fault was the price and the fact no hot breakfast was available during our stay - but we received a reimbursement for this (with thanks). The staff were incredibly friendly and the room was clean. Noise could easily be heard in adjacent rooms however - but fortunately this didn't affect the enjoyment too much.

It is a unique hotel right on the rocks over the beach. Staff were excellent as was food and service in the restaurant. 3 minutes from the railway station. It’s a quirky sort of building with an odd mix of decor, but very clean and great bathrooms. Lot’s of steps so not so good if you have trouble with that. Would definitely go again!

Excellently placed Hotel, close to all that St Ives has to offer, from a fine beach to the Tate Gallery. And only minutes walking from the rail station. Rooms have great sea views. Our room’s facilities were utilitarian but ok for a short stay. The Hotel’s small heated pool is a real asset. The restaurant is functional; the food is a little basic - our fish pies were rather sloppy and would have benefitted from more fish and less potato. Service was friendly and helpful throughout. Overall the hotel offered fair value in popular St Ives.
