My wife and I have been to this hotel twice,usually at end of February. It is used by the coaching firm Shearings,but non the less one is treated as an individual.Food was excellent,bedroom adequate,situation in St Ives to dream of,evening entertainment enjoyable,and very reasonably priced.Looking forward to next year already!!

We enjoyed a fantastic stay here last month with National Holidays. Whilst myself and my partner were the youngest in our party (late 30's) we enjoyed every minute of it. The view from our room was stunning and even the building work going on over the road didn't spoil our stay. The staff were all friendly and polite, the meals... More

The hotel is having some refurbishment work completed as we speak.In January the lounge was repainted and we decided that we would donate the pool table to a local charity for their community to enjoy. This was all part of our sustainability community project. The room that is referred to with a boarded window had an an original fire escape... More

This hotel is terrific value for what you get. Ok parts of it are a little dated, and I've had bigger more luxurious rooms. But it was warm, comfortable with TV, WC & shower, tea making facilities. What more do you need. Hotel meals were good with plenty of choice. Entertainment every night of varying quality, but some very good.... More

On arrival with National Holidays end Feb 2012 manager got on coach and introduced himself which was nice touch. Driver Andy very knowledgable and sociable. I'd requested room accessible by stairs (can't take lift/claustrophobic) and with sea view and got a room with balcony (not many of these) - the view was perfect - hotel just across road from beach/sea...

We always like to extend a warm welcome to visitors to the hotel. The balcony and sea view rooms are well requested and they are worth the supplement for the views overlooking Porthminster beach. There are a great number of good deals to be had throughout the company just now so why not try another Bay hotel in a great... More

Stayed at this hotel for 4 days. The hotel is extremely dated. The standard room was dreadful. On-suite had no shower, bath only. Damp on bathroom wall. With reference to the double bed, I have thrown away better mattresses - extremely uncomfortable. The rooms need a total revamp to attract us for any future use. The staff however (except one)...

The hotel is currently undergoing some refurbishment work which involves the redecoration of some bathrooms transforming them to bath and shower facilities. If you wish to return to St Ives for those stunning views overlooking Porthminster beach please give the hotel a call and we will be more than happy to assist with your requests and accommodate your needs.

Revisited this hotel two weeks ago, therefore this is my 2nd review. My gripe is really with Shearings themselves as we did not receive what we had originally booked & paid for....... ie free drinks from 7.30-10.30. instead, we were presented with vouchers for 4 free drinks per evening, also there were NO free newspapers in lounge as detailed on...

The changes that were made with reference to the vouchers were in line with the licencing board directive to stop the promotion of binge drinking between 7.30pm - 10.30pm. The vouchers actually allow the drinks to be consumed at anytime during the day. Many people have said that they prefer the voucher system. There is always plenty of food and... More

Stayed at the St Ives Bay Hotel in March travelling on an “inclusive” self drive 4 night mid week break, which included 4 drinks per night and a glass of wine with the evening meal.

What a great way to sell St Ives and Cornwall. You are quite right we have stunning views overlooking Porthminster beach, there are some great walks locally and there are some fantastic attractions nearby. The staff always try to do their best and that is one way to help customers enjoy their holidays. I will pass on your kind comments... More
