We got married at The St Ives Harbour Hotel on 6th May 2012. We booked the hotel 18 months prior and when we visited the hotel we knew instantly it was the one for us. The views are just amazing and the function rooms tastefully decorated. Throughout the planning Becky and all her team were brilliant, nothing was too much... More

I stayed at St lves Harbour Hotel and Spa last weekend as a weekend away with my partner. I was most impressed with first impressions of staff and the lovely atmosphere the moment you walk in, with valet parking! All members of staff are very helpful from the moment I checked- room service, and pleasant housekeeping and portering staff. The... More

I had visited this hotel for several years as a child with my family back in its old state with an outdoor swimming pool, old furnishings and basic food, we returned 6 years ago to St.Ives however visited the Porthminster for some afternoon tea, we described it as being "stuck in a time warp". Fifteen years later I wanted to... More

Firstly may I thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay with us and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. To address your particular issues often the TV signal in St Ives is disrupted by the weather, but the problem is often resolved by retuning the set and all our porters are able to do this... More

Stayed for 2 nights over bank holiday weekend. Friendly staff and valet parking. Any sort of parking in St Ives is an absolute bonus, so valet parking was a treat. Beds were extremely comfortable and room was clean and tidy. We had one of the older rooms (hotel going through lovely refurbishment) but this was not a problem. View was... More

We had a two day deal which was excellent value. However, the restaurant was a bit shambolic. There didn't seem to be any organisation. When we were eventually shown to our table, we had to wait ages for our order to be taken and then were given the wrong meal! The food was rather expensive and not that good but... More

Lovely Hotel, even with the renovations that where in progress in the public areas. Our room was a small suite, with a balcony and view of the golden sands below. Big four poster bed. Restaraunt overlooked the beach and the food was good, tasty but of the small and pretty style. Staff very attentive. Wine was reasonably priced. A short... More
