    Parking was a tiny bit out of the way but manageable.

    Location for a view was wonderful. Close to everything. All the staff went above and beyond with a smile. Ultra helpful, professional, knowledgeable. Small but very high quality a la carte breakfast.

    The wifi signal was very weak and it was cutting off occasionally in the room, it might have been just because we were really far up from the router which might have been on the ground floor and the room was all the way up on the third floor. We tested the wifi in the morning when we had included guest breakfast on the ground floor and the wifi was completely fine there. The showers water pressure wasn't very strong in the room and it was making consistent squeaking sound when we showered. Also a really minor thing, we had a small incident of clashing universal remote controls with another room's TV, we was not sure which room's TV it was but it definitely made the experience of watching TV not so pleasant. Despite that, the partner and I did have a bit of fun playing the battle of the remote control with whoever it was in one of the nearby rooms, quality entertainment, thank you to the other unfortunate guests that had to played along with us and sorry you had to unplug your TV, we really wanted to finish watching our film :D As a final note, take these comments as a grain of salt, this might have just been that one specific room (room 4) that had these problems, and we were very unlucky to have these issues. It has been an enjoyable stay, will definitely be coming back next time.

    We had room 4 for our stay on the top floor of the hotel and it was amazing, we saw the whole St Ives Harbour from the window of our room. The room was very clean, complimentary drinks at the bar, bed was comfortable, very soft bedsheets and duvet. The staff members were very friendly and easy to talk to. Extremely close to the St Ives train station car park. There are reserved car parking slots for guests which is really useful since St Ives train station car park is ALWAYS busy and filled up.

    This is my new go to place for staying in St Ives. Good location, parking available nearby and staff that goes above and beyond. From the morning breakfast with amazing views towards the harbour to decent cocktails in the evening with live music.

    Shower pressure wasn’t amazing but really not bad. Also, it seemed like our TV was being controlled by someone’s remote in the room next door, as the TV was turning off/on and channels changing randomly. Might have just been bad luck with our room but sometimes it got a little annoying.

    Genuinely nice owners, tasty food, lovely decorated hotel/rooms & comfy bed. Location was great, close to several beaches & shops. Parking available with the hotel was very helpful. Would absolutely stay again!

    Some rooms may be a little small for 2 people, choose room size wisely for longer stay. Window does not fully close but temperature is comfy.

    Great location and reasonable pricing. Included breakfast was amazing. Very clean considering it is seaside. Very friendly staffs.

    Most of our room was on the street side so there was some noise so would recommend a harbour view room for light sleepers or for those staying several nights. Our two night stay was great.

    A perfect location to explore St. Ives as both the Tate and the Hepworth Museum were in walking distance and the private parking area was a real bonus. Our room was simple, modern and spotlessly clean with a window overlooking the harbour and a wonderful shower. Breakfast was a real treat and the staff were very friendly and helpful. For those without a car, this would be the perfect location as it is very close to both the train and bus stations. The cafe below the accommodation serves great coffee - with a complimentary cup for residents - and has a stunning view of the harbour.
