St. Ives (Cornwall) hoteller

Fordele: Early check in was a welcome surprise after setting off at 5.00am in the morning. We only intended to drop off our bags before re visiting places we used to visit as children. The rooms had lovely local treats were clean and comfy and decorated to a high standard. The staff and owners were really friendly, pleasant nothing was too much trouble. Right on the sea front so lovely views and close to local amenities.

Ulemper: Nothing, everything you needed was catered for

Fordele: Beautiful house set in a lovely terrace overlooking the sea. We came in Nov so it was windy and rainy but we both said it would be an amazing spot in the summer and would love to return. The beds are also really, really comfortable - we slept great! Breakfast is fantastic, the owners are so welcoming and the place is spotless.

Ulemper: Only comment to add here is the water pressure is really bad. This possibly can’t be helped as it’s a lovely old house, but after a cold and rainy day we were really looking forward to a good shower!

Fordele: Hosts were excellent and breakfast was excellent. Nice selection for variety of tastes.

Ulemper: Room a little small even for one and close to lobby so heard all traffic from that area.

Fordele: Very friendly owners, beautiful terraced street, great views, super-clean room, excellent breakfast menu.

Ulemper: Not enough time there!

Fordele: Excellent location, very clean room. Parking space available for all rooms with no tricky additional cost which is a big plus for the area (if not for all hotel rooms in general!) Breakfast was nice with many local products. Chris and Julie were very friendly and welcoming, made us feel at home. Provided us with maps of the area and plenty of suggestions! Thank you!

Ulemper: Perhaps more than one option for breakfast would be nice. But in general I cannot think of any negative comments!

Fordele: wonderful house and hosts, the best place in Cornwall

Fordele: AMAZING breakfast!

Fordele: Chris the owner was really friendly and helpful and the room was ideal. Huge bed and lovely personal touches.

Ulemper: The only thing that could have made our experience better is beans with our breakfast and that's me being really picky because everything else was spot on!!

Fordele: Everything was absolutely perfect.

Ulemper: There wasn't anything to dislike.

Fordele: Breakfast was outstanding. Lovely location, lived the local treats in my room.

Ulemper: I was on the first floor and there is a rather large gap under the door. I was woken as people came and went from the house. A door snake to block the noise (and complimentary earplugs) would be a great investment.

Fordele: Gavin and Charlotte were the perfect hosts and made myself and my wife more than welcome. When I was told that I could upgrade to Room 3 (which I originally wanted) I was over the moon. Room 3 is all that and so much more. Perfect views of the beach, the sea, just brilliant. The room was big, the bed was comfy, the room was cleaned everyday and things like toilet rolls and water were topped up. The breakfast was outstanding. What was on offer both hot and cold made it difficult to decide but I recommend the full English with the fried egg or in my wife case with the poached egg as she's never had one done so well. The information given to us by our hosts was most helpful too. A map to take out with us, directions to the easiest and hardest way to get to the harbour, things going on in town etc. It was amazing how they went that extra mile for us. Would recommend the whole place 10/10 to anyone.

Ulemper: The walk up and down the hills to town and the harbour took some getting used to but when you did it was easy peasy. If you are walking then flat walking shoes are in order especially if its been raining. Don't wear high heels like my wife did and expect not to fall on your bum! Apart from that though there were no things we didn't like. Even the bit of rain we had couldn't dampen our spirits.

Fordele: Great location. Super breakfast. Perfect hosts!

Fordele: Amazing, warm and friendly

Fordele: A perfect stay from beginning to end—warm welcome; bright, comfortable room with kettle, teas, coffee, snacks; outstanding breakfast options.

Ulemper: Everything was excellent!

Fordele: Breakfast was great-particularly the poached eggs. The hosts were very accommodating given the drama we had on the first night

Fordele: Lovely welcome, clean, comfortable and quiet, in a great location and wonderful views towards the bay. And the breakfast was fab too! What a find. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in St Ives :-)

Ulemper: Nothing.

Fordele: Very calm and comfortable with good staff and a decent restaurant

Fordele: Great place for both business and pleasure, lovely location, nice rooms, good food, nice friendly staff. Excellent. Will stay again.

Fordele: Beautiful interior design, very relaxed atmosphere, superb food, and friendly, helpful staff .

Fordele: Outstanding experience from booking to leaving. A beautiful location with impressive views meets you at the door. A warm welcome, excellent locally sourced food, gorgeously furnished and very comfortable. Helpful and thoughtful staff made our stay extra special.

Fordele: Location was excellent with a lovely view from the balcony in my room. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and breakfast was delicious.

Ulemper: I can't think of anything there that I didn't like. Everyone was friendly, the rooms were nice and clean and the only down side was the weather. I suppose it did take a while for staff to answer the phone on 1 occassion but that was no problem really as everything was great.

Fordele: The bed was super comfy and the breakfast was delicious! All the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. We had a wonderful stay.

Ulemper: Next time we’d make sure to book a room with a balcony so we could enjoy the amazing view of the mount.

Fordele: This hotel is great, we had a lovely view, the room was warm and cosy, the breakfast was great, it was easy to find and park and it was close to a lovely village. We will recommend it to our friends.

Fordele: A hidden gem! Room was clean and as described. Breakfast was lovely. The team were more than helpful and super lovely. 30 seconds from the beach. 7 minutes walk to harbour. Definitely stay again

Ulemper: Getting out up the hill in the car!

Fordele: Great variety and quality. Friendly servers, who were quite helpful.

Ulemper: Detailed instructions regarding the paved walking trail from train to hotel. The hotel focused on the narrow, curved driving way and neglected those of us who walk. Cars are a nuisance in St Ives and parking is difficult.

Fordele: Lovely staff and beautiful room , all within walking distance to town

Fordele: Great breakfasts, lovely staff and very easy walk into the town and harbour

Ulemper: We arrived on Sunday and found the door locked and no answer from the doorbell. There was no forewarning, we just had to work our way through some phone numbers for instructions on how to get in. Not a great start.

Fordele: Beautiful room comfy bed and great location

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: The place is lovely , staff are lovely , food was really good. So close to the sea and town.

Ulemper: The room I had was the studio apt, it was really really small , would not book again , but the rest of my stay was lovely . I have booked a room with a sea view for next year .

Fordele: Location. Bed linen request was provided. Breakfast. The staff we met were very helpful and friendly. Parking was a bonus.

Ulemper: Comfy chairs in room 5 would have been great, there was room. Maybe another table or larger bedside tables. Toast at breakfast.

Fordele: Everything

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: Brilliant hotel, fantastic location and very lovely staff.

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: The food view the whole area

Ulemper: I loved it all

Fordele: Beautiful room with fab views. Comfy bed. Everything spot on.

Ulemper: There's nothing to dislike

Fordele: The views were amazing

Ulemper: The whole place is starting to look tired and would benefit from a coat of paint and a good clean around bar restaurant area.

Fordele: Great breakfast. Very friendly staff. Receptionist offered to carry my case up the stairs to the road to the station, even though it was raining and she didn't have a coat. Much appreciated

Ulemper: The weather! But the hotel didn't provide that!

Fordele: Unbelievably great view from my room and the restaurant. Wonderful staff. Fantastic food and drinks and ambience

Ulemper: Leaving Pedn Olva

Fordele: Location, staff, views.

Ulemper: Car parking is at a premium and could be a real problem in season.

Fordele: Very nice stay ! The owners are very kind and helpful

Fordele: We so enjoyed the feeling of stepping back in time when we stayed at Trereife House. The size of the rooms were wonderful, especially the bedroom and bathroom. The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable. We loved the large bath towels too. The kitchen had everything that we needed for our stay. We enjoyed walking around the lovely gardens, and appreciated the easy spacious off road parking. Tim was wonderful helping us with all our needs. The position was perfect for zipping off to easily access St Michael's Mount, many Iron Age sites, Tremenheer Sculpture Gardens, Penzance, and the Minack Theatre to name a few places. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Fordele: Everything.

Ulemper: NIL

Fordele: Atmosphere

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: The warmest of welcomes from the owners Tim and Peter who couldn't have done more to ensure a fabulous stay. It was a delight to stay at this manor house. It was so much more than a hotel stay; it was an wonderful immersive experience of days gone by.

Fordele: Very nice and interesting property, huge room, comfortable bed and good bathroom. The property is full of history and antiques, which I love. The owner received us and was very helpful and gave us lots of information.

Ulemper: The only down side is that is not possible to walk from the train station, you need a taxi as the property is off a highway. But it doesn’t take long, 7 minutes.

Fordele: We really enjoyed our stay at Trereife! The location is absolutely beautiful and the hosts Tim and Peter were super friendly and helpful! Our room was beautiful and very clean as well. The breakfast was the best we had on our whole trip! I can only recommend Trereife House and we're definitely coming back!

Fordele: The house was in mint condition, the hosts were kind and welcoming. We booked the superior double room with garden view. The room was very large and the bathroom was huge! It was very quiet indeed.

Ulemper: Everything was perfect!

Fordele: friendliness of the staff - the welcome

Ulemper: nothing

Fordele: Excelent location, staff very friendly... rooms really comfortable... lovely

Ulemper: None

Fordele: clean room and toilet.

Ulemper: the noise from the street.

Fordele: Super friendly staff. Free tea and coffee until 10 AM. Great location in the middle of the city. Very nice common areas. Familiar atmosphere. Very good value for the price.

Ulemper: The drying room was very small/spartanic. The kitchen was a little messy because of all the people cooking there. One of the mattresses was old and not as comfy.

Fordele: One of the nicest hostels I've stayed at. Excellent communal room, which offers more services and amenities than the usual hostel. Friendly staff and comfortable beds. Unbeatable price in an otherwise expensive area.

Ulemper: Bedroom door latched loudly when leaving room. It didn't wake me, but might wake light sleepers. Could also hear some road traffic in the morning. Thick privacy curtains helped block some noise though.

Fordele: Staff, band on Saturday night, location,staying in an old school.

Ulemper: It was a little cool at night. Can't really think of anything else.

Fordele: The location is very good and the staff were always helpful. The hostel has lots of facilities compared to a B&B.

Ulemper: There was quite a lot of music and loud chatting coming from the courtyard into the early hours of the night. I could hear it in the room quite easily and meant I didn't get a good sleep.

Fordele: friendly and helpful staff

Ulemper: noisy, lots of banging doors and thudding as people moved around, woken up several times each night

Fordele: the friendliness of owner and ease of access to and from hotel breakfast was to die for and very good variety nothing was too much trouble for them would certainly recommend

Ulemper: maybe walk back up from town okay going downhill lol

Fordele: Very tastefully decorated, my single room was not pokey as single rooms can often be. A very high standard of accommodation. The only slight drawback that has probably more to do with the town itself rather than The Nook was that there was nowhere to eat when I arrived at about 9.15. But fortunately there was cocoa and a small pack of biscuits in the room.

Ulemper: Nothing really

Fordele: Good selection, well presented with excellent service.

Ulemper: Would like a 'fish' offer at breakfast!

Ulemper: The parking was a bit snug.

Fordele: Lovely friendly staff with a really delicious breakfast.

Ulemper: The Wi -fi

Fordele: Excellent room Excellent breakfast Great location

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: Meget komfortable, rene værelser. Fremragende morgenmad. Stort værelse.

Ulemper: Indkørslen til huset er meget smal og ca. 1/3 mile. Beliggenheden er uden for Penzance, så var nødt til at køre længere for at komme til seværdighederne.

Fordele: Clean, good bed.

Ulemper: For this price we would have loved a proper breakfast, not pre-packed bread you had to eat sitting on the bed. The host showed a bit of a salesman mentality, no common area.

Fordele: A beautiful room in an amazing house, super clean, wonderful grounds and very quiet, thank you for a very happy stay Doug.

Ulemper: There really wasn’t anything we didn’t like - it would be lovely if there was a breakfast room, a continental breakfast is taken in your room, all the breakfast goods were of high quality - so it is not a complaint.

Fordele: Loved staying in the Look Out and the food was excellent!

Fordele: Food and ambience, convenient for town

Ulemper: Low lighting in room, no power point near mirror.

Fordele: The cottage was very comfortable and stylish and has parking.

Fordele: The whole experience of our stay was absolutely wonderful. The room was outstanding, staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Slept well with the comfy double bed and enjoyed walking to excellent tea, coffee plus the use of the Bramley skin care!

Ulemper: Loved everything. Exceeded my expectations and highly recommended this excellent hotel for any length of stay.

Fordele: Nicely decorated and an attractive building.

Fordele: General feel of the place. Staff extremely nice throughout our stay. Well placed in centre of Penzance. Quirky, funky room decor. Near train station

Ulemper: Mini bar temptations too expensive!

Fordele: The commercial hotel is right in the heart of St Just , the hotel is clean , tidy and the staff are very helpful, the food is good, and the breakfast is the best we have had. And my husband is a chef , the hotel is run by a lovely lady called Michele and her brilliant staff would visit again

Fordele: Extremely comfy bed, havent slept so well in ages. Best breakfast in ages. I am not keen on sausages & lived them here. Staff friendly and helpful but not in your face. Lovely chilled out feel.

Ulemper: Nothing.

Fordele: Warm, comfortable, clean, excellent food and friendly staff

Fordele: Very friendly relaxed atmosphere, just what was required for my short stay. Very clean tidy room, first class breakfast. Evening meal was perfect as well

Fordele: A good room, the dinner was excellent, best I have had for a very long time.

Fordele: It was a pleasure to stay there the food was delicious and the breakfast was Exerlant and the staff were very happy . Would recommend.

Fordele: Easy to find and helpful staff

Fordele: Another chair in the bedroom and the chairs seemed too low in the dining areas. The door handles were a bit stiff !! But no lovely apart from that little bit of feedback .

Fordele: Friendly and helpful staff, amazing breakfast, good location, lovely room .

Fordele: The staff were very helpful The room was fantastic The food was excellent

Ulemper: Nobody on reception on arrival had to phone for receptionist Steep stairs to 3rd floor Having to o to the Gannet for breakfast along the street very wet and windy.

Fordele: Lovely rooms very well decorated with huge beds and brand new bathrooms, staff were excellent and had use of facilities in Caribs bay spa so was great value

Ulemper: There was a banging door all night because of the wind, staff were great and moved us to another room

Fordele: Stayed in the Primrose room. It was a clean, good size room with a lovely bathroom and great size comfortable bed. Breakfast was good to.

Ulemper: Only thing I could mark it down for was the lack of a view.

Fordele: Clean modern facilities

Ulemper: Told incorrect breakfast times so missed a sunday lay in

Fordele: Amazing value for money,very good breakfast super choice,Excellent staff. Very good menu and high quality food.

Ulemper: Room felt a little outdated but considering the price more than happy

Fordele: Meals were very good. we had to wait around for our flight on they day we left and they gave us coffee for free. There several other little complementary extras. The hotel is very convenient for the railway station.

Ulemper: Didn't like the music in the dining room - not our kind of music. Apart from that, there was nothing we didn't like.

Fordele: The atmosphere , quietness , location ,

Ulemper: The breakfast was not very tasty

Fordele: See above

Ulemper: There's nothing to dislike to be honest. You can walk to the Promenade in 60 seconds, the railway station is a 3 minute walk, and the town centre is a 5 minute walk. Very friendly staff, very clean and tidy with a good standard in the bedrooms.

Fordele: breakfast was excellent
