The room had Hessian curtains which completely failed to block any light from entering the room. For somebody who likes adult room to sleep in this is incredibly frustrating as the Sun will wake you up by 5 am! I really like the hotel but I just won’t be returning unless the curtains are replaced.

The decor and comfortable beds. I liked that there was a fridge on the landing with fresh milk! We were given a free drink on arrival.

The views from the room and restaurant were amazing! Breakfast was fantastic with lots of options and variety, the decor was simple and relaxing and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The location was just a very short walk to many bars, restaurants and the harbour.

One minor quibble - had room facing road and traffic noise most of the night was very loud through the old fashioned single pane windows. Some double glazing would make a massive difference.

Fantastic friendly staff. Great location. Clean rooms.

Stairs to top floor rooms might be challenging for less able guests.

The cook is excellent and the breakfast was the best we've had for a long time. Great attention to detail generally.

I only booked 2 nights and could have stayed longer!

This was a really great find! From the very first moment we arrived we were made to feel welcomed. The ethos, which is truly embedded through our is that every visitor is important. It’s achieved in a very relaxed and friendly way that makes you feel at home. The property is very clean and comfortable. We had the smallest room, but it was still very comfortable. If you’re not lucky enough to book to stay here but are still visiting St Ives, treat yourself to a meal in the restaurant - breakfast, lunch or dinner, absolutely delicious - and they serve the best coffee and pastries you’ve tasted!!!! Not to mention the Cider! Oh I forgot to mention the spectacular views from every window, very special stay!! As you can probably here I’ll definitely be back to stay 🫶🫶🫶 Thanks for looking after us both

It would probably need a refurbish in the rooms - noise between rooms as walls are quite thin , windows that don’t shut properly and carpet that could do with a change .

Staff is super friendly and there is a great vibe . Beautiful views and great location Food was good and dining area is lovely.

Lovely stay in St Ives great for a short break.

We were on the top of two floors. The stairs were OK, but quite steep, and it felt a long climb, which combined with walking up the hill to the hotel could be quite a mission for some. The car park is quite tight, and behind and below the hotel, so another hill climb ;)

Bedroom was clean, nicely decorated, with the most spectacular view of St Ives Harbour. Breakfast was in the cafe downstairs, again with the harbour view. Delicious options from the menu and served by very friendly and attentive staff. It was great to have parking at the hotel.

It was ideally situated and quaint place. We could see the harbour and the surrounding landscape and the chapel on the hill and of course the seaside.

Nothing, it was absolutely perfect.

The property was quirky, clean, gorgeous views and the most accommodating staff! The breakfast was an added extra and was so tasty. Both me and my partner had the best stay and would recommend the Harbour View House to anyone. We hope to return one day! Was also really easy to walk down to the harbour and surrounded by lots of lovely shops. 5 stars!! Thankyou so much to all the staff 😁🫶🏻
