Comfortable room, nicely decorated and clean. No view from window which should have been disclosed. Window unable to be kept open for ventilation. Shower tap very stiff to operate. Bed headboards should be easily cleanable and not made from a material that retains customer hairs. Lovely meal in the restaurant. Chef and staff very accommodating and understanding of allergy needs. Nice lounge area. Compulsory Valet parking wasn’t made clear beforehand. Great view from restaurant.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel, the staff was friendly and the comfort was top noch. The only challenge for our 80+ group was the place of the hotel, going down the hill to the St Ives centre was easy but we always needed a cab to go up.

Lovely stay at this hotel. Delicious extensive continental breakfast provided, with hot breakfast at a great price of £10 extra. Large comfortable king size and single beds, with great pillows and clean bathrooms. Lots of space to relax. Easy valet parking at £15 night. Beautiful beach view from our bedroom, the other room street view. Overall great stay. Will be back if in St Ives!

Decent enough. One thing that did annoy me is that I found the mini bar and tea and coffee facilities in a cupboard which I never used. It wasn’t until the morning of the check out that I realised they were there. Food in the dining room was of a good standard and the serving staff were good. Spa was ok for free, staff in the the spa didn’t really acknowledge me. Just told me to sign out when I left. All in all a decent enough hotel but I thought £500 for a couple of nights for two in November was a little on the expensive side.

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.

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.

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.
