Hôtels à St. Ives (Cornwall)

Points positifs: It was a very relaxing night

Points négatifs: the location and staff

Points positifs: Stunning location Beautiful beach

Points négatifs: The spa staff were aloof and unfriendly the breakfast was very poor and very slow

Points négatifs: The hotel is quite dated and in need of a refurbishment. The bed was so hard it affected my back and I had back ache for the rest of the trip and my partner suffered with his shoulder. We were moved to another room but like I say I suffered for a few days after the move. The outside sauna leaked quite a lot. (It was raining) The staff on breakfast duty were quite grumpy and unfriendly which was a shame.

Points positifs: We stayed in one of the beach front lodges, which was fantastic. It was like having our own beach house, but with all the amenities of the hotel thrown in. Highly recommend, with fantastic views in all directions and a three minute train ride to St Ives.

Points négatifs: Quality of food at breakfast was ok, but the service was a little bit hit and miss - one day we had three people ask if we wanted tea or coffee, but nobody actually brought it for over 10 minutes. I’m thinking this could be because it was early in the season with new staff, so expect it to improve over time.

Points positifs: The Gannett restaurant was superb and Paul the barman was exceptional went out of his way to make a cocktail not on the menu

Points négatifs: the room was very small, could hardly move, poorly decorated, TV situated in the wrong place making it uncomfortable to watch, very noisy room as over the conservatory

Points positifs: Very stylish hotel and very comfortable bed

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: Good breakfast. You can virtually step onto a quiet secluded beach. Nice location with train stop nearby to St Ives.

Points négatifs: Radiator behind sideboard (didn’t work anyway). No air con. No window only door open to mini balcony so you can only have large air vent and not a small vent. Didn’t have my booking on day of arrival but rather the next day even though I had confirmed correct date on app. Took £50 deposit on card on arrival then phoned me an hour later to ask for my cvc code on back of card and proceeded to try to take an extra £50 per night on my original booking fee straight away. So not only did they not trust me to pay on departure after taking a deposit, they tried to overcharge me. After telling them twice the room rate booked and showing them the app confirmation price they still tried to charge me more on departure. Interconnecting doors were wide open on arrival and was promised that someone would lock them.. didn’t turned up... called reception... didn’t turn up ...barricaded ourselves in ...went to reception to ask again to get door locked. Room looked as though it was cut in half to make 2 small rooms. VFM poor ...room rate/size ../single cocktail £20. Bar closed at midnight. WiFi was intermittently poor and with no data signal expect to be cut off from civilisation. Whilst small hotel there are no lifts so had to carry luggage up a few floors and along windy corridors .. up more steps to room

Points positifs: Pleasant relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location.Fair value considering the time of year - half term.

Points positifs: Hotel was warm, quiet. Dining room and scenery was good. Room and bed was very comfortable. A little pricy

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points négatifs: Hotel too warm and bed and bedroom far too small.

Points positifs: The setting of the hotel and clean beach is amazing and the entainment very good.

Points négatifs: The only thing was whilst checking I had an embarracing situation with my credit card. At time of booking I was able to use my American express this is not accepted by the hotel, this caused confusion because of them having my card details in their system already it rejected my master card at first!

Points positifs: Amazing position and landscape, good breakfast, comfortable room and good cleaness of room and hotel

Points négatifs: nothing

Points positifs: Good position. Waiters and waitresses pleasant and polite.

Points négatifs: Receptionist grumpy. Bath very small. No curtain at bathroom window only 2 net curtains, unsure if people could see in.

Points positifs: Very clean and tastefully decorated

Points négatifs:

Points positifs: Beautifull location

Points négatifs: No Lift

Points positifs: Good location

Points négatifs: No 'A La Carte' dinner menu.

Points positifs: Food was superb and the staff are very helpful and professional.Theposition of this hotel is excellent right on the beach

Points négatifs:

Points positifs: Breakfast and staff in dining room lovely. Good quality food.

Points négatifs: On arrival there was a party of crafters/quilters which took up most of the foyer. Receptionist when she eventually noticed me asked if we wanted a table for dinner and we arranged this and a time for the four of us. Two minutes later she knocked on the door to inform us that the chef was unable to cater for us as he only had one assistant in the kitchen. Seems they hadnt looked at the guest list and accounted for this. We asked for local places to eat and she hadnt a clue which to me seemed unhelpful. Thankfully we googled and went to the Water Mill which was superb. The room was very, very small and as I am claustrophobic could not use the bathroom at all without the door left open. I have never seen such a small bathroom. Very, very thin and small towels, need to be replaced. Coffee in room was undrinkable. Our friends say their shower was but a trickle. When mentioned at checkout the same receptionist said we should have said something the evening before, even though we had a rush to find somewhere to eat. Bill also wrong which as they had taken for the evening before, without our knowledge, and was in yesterdays takings couldnt be changed.

Points positifs: diner et petit déjeuner très bien et très soignés, personnel très attentionné.

Points négatifs: Il est inadmissible dans un 3 étoiles de ne pas avoir de WC et douche privés, surtout pour un prix de chambre de 130 £

Points positifs: Food good. Pleasant walk from hotel to footpath to town and beach. Very quiet due to the state of the country at present.It

Points négatifs: It was heated to an uncomfortable heat,much to hot. Advertised a coffee shop, which was made at the reception desk and you carried it to the lounge of the hotel. Similarly the bar was in reception where the receptionist got your drinks and you took them to where you wanted. Dinner was 6.30 and you had to book even though we never saw more than 5 tables occupied!

Points positifs: L accueil. Le service

Points négatifs: Le.manque d ascenseur

Points positifs: Bon petit dejeuner bien garni

Points négatifs: Le lit vraiment très tres mauvais!sûrement un lit très âgé!! matelas qui bouge et qui s enfonce sur un sommier qui n en peut plus... (Nous ne sommes pas en surpoids...) Chambre petite,une seule chaise pour poser ses affaires

Points positifs: Petit dej en buffet, bon choix, qualité présente en salle de restaurant et service agréables ...même si impossible d'avoir un expresso.

Points négatifs: 2 nuits passées chambre 4. Chambre sans aménagements et très mal aménagée ! Même pas de quoi écrire, soit disante chambre double supérieure à 200 livres la nuit qui n'est en fait qu'une chambre familiale (1 lit double et un lit superposé en pin hideux ! Vraiment laid , humide, mal entretenu. Je conseil de ne pas se laisser avoir par la façade qui est grandiose.

Points positifs: Le manoir est très beau, situé sur les hauteurs de St Ives. Très belle vue, beau parc. Très facile de descendre en ville à pieds .. le retour est un peu plus difficile .. :). Beaux salons aux rez de chaussée. Les chambres sont lumineuses, simples mais coquettes. Petit déjeuner parfait servi dans la grande salle à manger (Buffet + service à la table) . Personnel discret et courtois.

Points négatifs: Je déconseille fortement de prendre une chambre avec salle de bains : environ 40 euros de supplément pour une salle de bains très vieillotte, qui sentait l'eau croupie et où la douche ne fonctionnait pas... du coup nous avons dû nous rabattre sur les salles de bains communes ... mais il faut faire la queue. Attention pour les personnes qui ont des problèmes de motricité .. il n'y a pas d'ascenseurs. Nous n'avons pas vu de fantômes !!! :)

Points positifs: Location, value, atmosphere Nice fresh breakfast

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: The staff, the welcome, the attitude, the breakfast, the bed and the room. A complete bargain. I really like this place.

Points négatifs: Important: this is not a complaint. It's in answer to the question'what didn't you like'. Noisy party in the bar on the Saturday night. The party not a problem but the noise couldn't be contained and so couldn't sleep until it died down. Noise all over and done with by midnight

Points positifs: Breakfast was excellent. Rooms were beautiful and clean and had everything available that you might need. The young woman who greeted us was friendly and helpful.

Points négatifs: The bar was noisy if you just wanted a quiet drink although ideal if you wanted to watch sport. The reception needs to be more welcoming - rather scruffy from the outside - and everything that was piled up in the room to the left could have been screened from view as you come up the steps. Shame that we had to go next door for breakfast but it was exceptionally good and in very comfortable surroundings with very efficient and friendly staff

Points positifs: Chambre moderne et spacieuse, vue sur la mer et un petit-déjeuner fabuleux !

Points positifs: We liked the room we stayed in, it was clean and had lovely decor and the staff were friendly.

Points positifs: This was a Lovely property. Friendly owners, clean, beautifully decorated and a delicious breakfast. I would definitely recommend.

Points négatifs: Nothing.

Points positifs: Bonne literie,Bon pdj. Explications pour récupérer les clés claires . Informations et plans sur la ville déposés sur le lit très appréciables qui ont compensé l'absence de l'hôte qui est très aimable.

Points négatifs: Un peu difficile à trouver sans GPS. L'horaire de 18h un peu tôt pour ne pas avoir d'accueil. Cela peut être difficile pour des étrangers ne maîtrisant pas l'anglais et internet sur tél car il faut échanger pour savoir comment récupérer les clés

Points positifs: Staff were lovely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was nice. And the property was very clean and tidy.

Points négatifs: Room was a bit small. But adequate for our needs.

Points positifs: L'accueil était très chaleureux et professionnel. Petit déjeuner copieux et chambre très agréable

Points positifs: Great B&B. Nice room, exceptionally clean. Comfortable bed. Nice breakfast - good choice Good host, easy going.

Points négatifs: The only complaints we have was the fact that it was so HOT everywhere. We did turn the radiator off in our room, but everywhere was still hot. Our room unfortunately also had a dripping pipe outside our window - this was a little irritating - probably worth getting that fixed.

Points positifs: Le petit déjeuner

Points négatifs: La petitesse du parking

Points positifs: Good location with parking . Lovely helpful people, good breakfast , clean comfortable and well presented.

Points négatifs: Poor shower and needs black out curtain or blind

Points positifs: When greeted John was fantastic upgraded our room for free, it’s in a great location and walking distance to the main town centre. Breakfast was fantastic, they even catered for our 7 month old and cook her food how we ask. We want to thank John and his team for a fantastic stay and can’t wait to stay again soon.

Points positifs: Belle chambre, bon accueil petit dejeuner tres bon. Hotel charmant, un peu difficile a trouver cependant.

Points positifs: Very friendly host and plenty of parking (in St Ives!). Short walk to sea front and town centre. Very nice carpets throughout. Tasty crusty bread.

Points négatifs: Would have like a fruit salad or fruit option at breakfast.

Points positifs: Great location Friendly and welcoming owner/staff Beautiful building Breakfast was superb Comfortable and clean room, with balcony sea views

Points négatifs: Bathroom / shower very tight No bar as advertised

Points positifs: We loved Primose House - it was super stylish, in a great location walking distance to the centre of St Ives and the staff were all lovely and very accommodating. Great breakfast too! Would definitely stay there again.

Points positifs: L’emplacement est très sympa et les chambres ainsi que l’hôtel en lui même sont très bien décorés Le petit déjeuner est excellent

Points positifs: La salle / espace de petit déjeuner.

Points négatifs: Chambre était certes très bien décorée (cosy pour utiliser un terme anglais) mais pas du tout fonctionnelle (à la fois trop petite et trop meublée).

Points positifs: our room was spacious, airy, beautiful view of the harbor. the staff where very friendly and made us feel very welcome. in the morning the breakfast was very generous and tasty. i will be using this property again. i highly recommend the primrose.

Points positifs: Petit déjeuner, cadre général, accueil

Points négatifs: Manque des mouchoirs en papier, et possiblement une baignoire. Pour ce prix, cela semble nécessaire ! Le papier toilette pour se moucher, c'est bien mais pas dans un 3*. Loin du centre malgré tout, la voie ferrée gâche un peu la vue sur la plage.

Points positifs: The location is hidden away which adds a sense of mystery and charm whilst benefiting from being colocated right next to by a quiet beach. The building had personality and character, and the reception/breakfast/lounge area setup was welcoming, relaxed and peaceful. The host was wonderfully polite and personal, offering home baked cake on arrival. The breakfast offered choice and was plentiful and delicious.

Points négatifs: Very little wrong with the property. I did feel that the room was a tad basic and would benefit from a few more luxury items. However, did not affect the quality of our stay and we would come back.

Points positifs: La chambre était jolie, spacieuse et bien décorée. Bow-window et terrasse agréables. Bon petit-déjeuner. Personnel jeune, détendu et accommodant. Il est très facile de rejoindre le centre de St Ives à pied, tout en passant la nuit au calme absolu face à la mer, et à deux pas de la plus grande plage de la ville.

Points négatifs: Attention l'hôtel est particulièrement difficile d'accès en voiture (longue pente très très raide en voiture où il est impossible de croiser un autre véhicule, avec en plus beaucoup de touristes qui se rendent à la plage à pied, puis tout petit espace pour se garer). La voie ferrée bouche quelque peu la vue mer (mais le train est assez silencieux). L'aspirateur n'avait pas été passé sous le lit depuis des semaines, peut-être plus.

Points positifs: A lovely little hotel situated right next to the sea. It’s a little tricky to get to, down a very steep hill. But it’s so worth it. The rooms are lovely- stylish, clean and quiet. We were upgraded because it wasn’t busy. The beds are really comfortable and the vegetarian breakfast was delicious. The owners were warm and friendly and their little daughter adorable. We will be back!

Points positifs: Lovely room, well decorated and really clean.

Points négatifs: Small sink in bathroom, couldn't put the kettle under.

Points positifs: Close to centre Spacious Clean Friendly Helpful staff

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: Everything. Great location. Parking nearby.

Points négatifs: It was perfect

Points positifs: The Cohort Hostel is right in the centre of St Ives. It is a beautiful old building which has been stylishly renovated into a hostel. We had a private twin room, which was lovely and spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable too. The staff at the hostel are lovely and gave recommendations for places to eat which were spot on. It is great value for money and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Points négatifs: Everything was great.

Points positifs: The commitment to drive plastic Free & eco movement. The passion of this hostel oozes out of all employees and so infectious. They’re amazing as too the hostel

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: Les lits superposés avec les rideaux. Le côté eco-responsable.

Points négatifs: Temperature de la douche non reglable (un peu trop chaude)

Points positifs: Staff, band on Saturday night, location,staying in an old school.

Points négatifs: It was a little cool at night. Can't really think of anything else.

Points positifs: Gavin and Charlotte were the perfect hosts and made myself and my wife more than welcome. When I was told that I could upgrade to Room 3 (which I originally wanted) I was over the moon. Room 3 is all that and so much more. Perfect views of the beach, the sea, just brilliant. The room was big, the bed was comfy, the room was cleaned everyday and things like toilet rolls and water were topped up. The breakfast was outstanding. What was on offer both hot and cold made it difficult to decide but I recommend the full English with the fried egg or in my wife case with the poached egg as she's never had one done so well. The information given to us by our hosts was most helpful too. A map to take out with us, directions to the easiest and hardest way to get to the harbour, things going on in town etc. It was amazing how they went that extra mile for us. Would recommend the whole place 10/10 to anyone.

Points négatifs: The walk up and down the hills to town and the harbour took some getting used to but when you did it was easy peasy. If you are walking then flat walking shoes are in order especially if its been raining. Don't wear high heels like my wife did and expect not to fall on your bum! Apart from that though there were no things we didn't like. Even the bit of rain we had couldn't dampen our spirits.

Points positifs: Bedroom and dining room . Breakfast was very good .

Points négatifs: The shower was a little cramped , I need to lose more weight than I thought !

Points positifs: Breakfast was great-particularly the poached eggs. The hosts were very accommodating given the drama we had on the first night

Points positifs: Lovely welcome, clean, comfortable and quiet, in a great location and wonderful views towards the bay. And the breakfast was fab too! What a find. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in St Ives :-)

Points négatifs: Nothing.

Points positifs: Gavin and Charlotte have a talent for making people feel really welcome in their beautiful house. Room was beautiful & clean with ultra-comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast with an amazingof fresh fruitsalade. I really loved this place and would happily return.

Points négatifs: My bedroom (Nr 4) was at the rear of the house with separate showerroom, however for private use.

Points positifs: Great location and very comfortable room. Gavin and Charlotte are exceptionally attentive hosts. Generous water/ coffee / tea supply and varied breakfast options .

Points négatifs: bed mattress could be better and too much stuff in the room and furniture taking too much space

Points négatifs: Room was a little poorly sound insulated - not for light sleepers!

Points positifs: View and cleanliness was phenomenal, better than some 4/5 star hotels I’ve stayed in

Points positifs: Would have liked bacon/sausage for breakfast choices. Very friendly owners but breakfast a little boring, sorry. Weather perfect too.

Points négatifs: As before - breakfast menu.

Points positifs: Rathlena was absolutely outstanding B&B. Breakfast was yummy, the room was lovely and comfortable. Evenlyn and Tony were amazing host and every morning for breakfast was a little something special for all to enjoy. Highly recommend Rathlena.

Points positifs: Evelyn is a wonderful proprietor. The breakfast was superb. The location was good. The company at breakfast (always a random aspect of a stay) was excellent and we had to drag ourselves away to get on with the day. Overall it was great and should we return to St. Ives there would be only one choice.

Points positifs: The breakfast was excellent, Evelyn the host treated us like family.

Points négatifs: The bath and shower could have been a walk in shower. The walk to town was downhill, which was ok, but hard work walking home.

Points positifs: Beautiful B&B, great room with en-suit and it’s own sun terrace. Spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were superb in a very attractive dinning room also our hostess Evelyn, was the nicest person you could ever wish to meet. Plenty of great conversations during our breakfasts and suggestions for our day ahead. It’s location was also a bonus as we could leave the car there take the 10min walk down into the centre of st Ives. First class, superb place and would recommend this to all.

Points négatifs: Nothing

Points positifs: The property is situated a short walk from the main town centre, this was perfect for walking off our evening meal. The breakfasts were fabulous with everything you could possibly want to eat or drink. Our room was very spacious and clean. Fantastic hot water and plenty of fluffy towels. There is a lovely sea view and also a view of the garden. Our hosts were delightful and friendly and Evelyn is great cook. It was great being picked up from the station on arrival. I can highly recommend Rathlena as a place to stay.
