Breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from and also a cooked breakfast. The hotel restaurant and bar/foyer was very pretty and inviting. Didn't sample the food but many people were eating. Loved looking around the town of St Ives, the shops and pubs had made it very pretty with all the lights and everyone friendly. All in all a great time away and would stay again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74575713-b241-463c-a60e-82a619e8319b-1766333462732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e46b2b05-8b84-48b5-9da4-68ca0628529d-1766333462846.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### JULIE Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharleen 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic.

Good location, comfortable room which could have been a bit cleaner. Beware when putting out the 'green card', as well as not changing towels and linen they may not replenish tea bags, etc nor provide clean cups. Food very good, but table service is a bit variable. ##### JOHN Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay Very friendly staff, excellent location, good food and great atmosphere.
