Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean and continental breakfast had a good choice. The spa was nice but it was really busy. Nice little touches in the room such as a gin and tonic and you could see they had used local providers which was great to see.Location was excellent for the beach and the town.
the beach view was good, but our room had beams in the middle of the room which we had to climb over to get to the other side of the room, the hotel is looking really tired, they wouldn’t let us eat in the restaurant because they had a big party coming so we sat in the bar but no big party came, I wouldn’t stay there again.
The hotel was in a great location, beautiful setting on the beach & friendly and helpful staff. Each member of staff we met was friendly & approachable. The hotel and room was clean. Beautiful pool area.
We stayed for 1 night. Amazing views over the bay. Staff were lovely. Our room was very noisy overnight. Our shower did not drain properly and almost overflowed, which was reported at checkout.
Relaxing few days away.
Room was perfect, with amazing views of the sea and St Ives bay.
Very comfortable and service is excellent.
Food outstanding.
We look forward to returning next year
Lovely hotel overlooking the beach. Pleasant staff and very good continental breakfast every morning. Spa was excellent and a nice bit of luxury at the end of the day
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. I and my husband came to the town ro soend our 10th wedding anniversary and the staff were very welcoming and quick to respond to requests. We recommend.
Disappointed with the service. Although my Hotels.com booking clearly stated a double bed and a single bed, we were given a family room with a double bed and a bunk bed. When I raised the issue, the staff claimed that the requested option wasn’t visible in their system and blamed the third-party booking platform. However, my confirmation clearly showed the bed request. For nearly £400 a night, I expected reliability and transparency. Unfortunately, the receptionist was dismissive and made no effort to accommodate the request. This experience has left me unable to trust the booking process and very dissatisfied with the service.
Very pretty hotel with beautiful views and a particularly goos breakfast. Windows were a bit tricky to use and rooms got very hot in the night. Rooms were not made up well (bet made but rubbish not removed and dirty glasses not replaced).
We asked for a bit more with this local and hotel and got it. It is a nicer place for a higher level stay. The front staff were obsequious and pleasant.

We had room 309, and it was by the main road into St Ives. As a result it was very noisy at all times.

The hotel is conveniently located about a 15 minute walk from the centre of St. Ives and is directly above Porthminster Beach. In terms of overall amenities and service, I would rate this property at no more than 4 stars. We stayed in an ocean facing room with a balcony. The room only had a double bed and a very small bathroom. The balcony was not cleaned and the chairs and table had bird droppings on them, making it not pleasant to use. Our daughters had a room without a view on the lower ground floor; the room was bigger and had a king sized bed and a sizeable bathroom.
