Halwell Lodge offers high-quality bed and breakfast in Lelant, an 11-minute drive from St Ives. This beautiful coastal village is home to West Cornwall Golf Club, a 10-minute walk away, and Halwell Lodge provides stylish en suite accommodation with free parking and Wi-Fi.

We loved the quiet location (5 -6 mins out of town) and especially the hosts, Steve and Tressa. As well, our room was beautifully appointed and even had welcome bikkies ❤️ with the tray of tea and coffee provisions. Excellent breakfast too.

With direct access to the award-winning Porthminster Beach, St Ives Harbour Hotel is a 5-minute walk from St Ives centre. Parking is available on site, and the Barbara Hepworth Museum is just a mile away.

The hotel is very uniqueky decorated, looking like the interior of a cruise ship, and the room furnishings matches the vibe - that was a really nice surprise! The view from the breakfast terrace was absolutely breathtaking, we actually spent so long at breakfast because we were enjoying the food and the view so much. The fitness centre with complimentary sauna, swimming pool and jacuzzi was also a great experience, we could get our feet wet and enjoy the vacation even on the days when the weather outside was too windy to swim at sea.

Sitting on a rugged rock formation, the compact rooms at Pedn-Olva offer private modern bathrooms. All rooms are stylishly decorated and have impressive sea views. Rooms also feature a TV and hairdryer.

I live locally to the hotel but have aways walked past it never stayed there . My partner and l wanted a night away from home and the hotel far exceeded our expectation. We had the most amazing view and because it was out of season, it was wonderfully quiet without the hustle and bustle of too many tourists. We will be going back for sure.

    The room was very clean and decently sized. Everything worked perfectly except a power socket, but it was reported to reception and they apologised for it. We did not enjoy the restaurant but it has a lovely view and the entire resort is stunningly gorgeous, quiet and peaceful. The staff at check-in and check-out were very friendly and keen to assist our queries. It is not very close to St Ives train station but the walk is enjoyable on a day with good weather. Overall excellent value for money compared to other accommodation options nearby.

Coffee machine in bedroom. Lovely En Suite. Tasteful interior design of the guest house. Great view from the dining room, which overlooks a golden, sandy beach. Very reasonable rates when we went in March.

    The apartment was fabulous! Gorgeous decor and spacious, with a stunning view. We loved it and felt very at home. The bath was lovely and the bed very comfortable. It was a luxury apartment, very peaceful, and we could see and hear waves sitting in bed with a cup of tea. I would highly recommend it, and the restaurant next door who owns the apartment.

    Lovely welcome from the host. All the rooms were stylish, immaculate and lovely. The kitchenette was amazingly well stocked. Bedding was gorgeous. The information that the host had provided about the local area was just what we needed. Cannot rate this property highly enough.
