Top St Ives Hotel Reviews

Orton Hall Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful friendly staff. Housekeeping services very good"

Christs College Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was a bargain."

Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Good location for Cambridge and the surrounding area for travellers with a car. Bus and park & rides within easy access to then go into Cambridge. Couple of things in Camborne to get food, have a drink but not much else. Hotel good for EVs too. No A/C in nearly entirety of rooms so beware if a hot spell. Otherwise nice spacious suites and nice compact grounds - has a pool and other good facilities. Would use again in the right circumstances."

Hilton Cambridge City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you "

Old Ferry Boat St Ives by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location, friendly staff and reasonably priced food. The premises itself would benefit from some updating."
