Primrose House St. Ives, hotel in St Ives

With boutique bedrooms and a stylish bar, Primrose Valley Hotel offers free parking and free Wi-Fi. Just metres from Porthminster Beach, the hotel has wonderful views across the Celtic Sea.

A charming little hotel and an equally charming couple running it. Booked last minute for a brief weekend stay. Our room (5) on the top floor was very comfortable with a nice view across to St Ives harbour in the distance. Great recommendation for a Thai meal from our host. A delicious breakfast and coffees set us up for our travels. Would 100% stay here again. top tip: watch the video instruction of how to get to the hotel to avoid questioning whether you are going the right way...

Seaforth St Ives, hotel in St Ives

Located within 300 metres of Porthminster Beach and 500 metres of Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, Seaforth St Ives provides accommodation with seating area.

Location and view amazing. We sat in the bay window watching the sea crash about. Bed like a squishy nest to snuggle in looking out to sea. Thoughtful touches all over room, like fresh milk in the fridge, nice toiletries in the bathroom, choccies, bath robes and biscuits and parking permit. Friendly contact from the hosts. Original decor.

Cornerways Guest House, hotel in St Ives

Cornerways Guest House is set in St Ives, 100 metres from Bamaluz Beach, 200 metres from Porthmeor Beach, and 200 metres from Porthgwidden Beach.

A gorgeous guest house, beautifully furnished, including all sorts of Cornish themes being pulled into the interior decor, which was really to be appreciated, given the mad, busy attraction St. Ives has become. Tucked away in a pretty, quiet, town lane, it’s a little gem of a place to duck into (hanging baskets overflowing and vibrant by the front door). Our room let us look out over the harbour, the bay, and all the coast at least as far as Godrevy Point, and on the slate rooftops close to, herring gulls touch down, just briefly! The place captures something of St. Ives very well, in a good way. Loved it.

    Breakfast was excellent. The best memories we have of our stay at the Organic Panda are the location, which provided wonderful views of the coast and the town and allowed us to get acquainted with the route to explore walking around the town, and Peter, the host, was a very charming man, witty and entertaining, and a very good cook. He and his wife Andrea were a great source of information and ideas as to what to visit. Thank you to them both, our stay was comfortable and memorable.

    The cottage is very charming and comfortable with excellent location in St Ives. The street is quite and still right near the harbour, the ocean and the city centre. The hosts are lovely and helpful if needed! You can use an app where the hosts have provided thorough information about anything you might wonder about. The kitchen has everything you need and it has comfortable sofas to relax on after a long day of walking.

    The breakfast was customised based on each guest’s specific preferences. Both Steve and Tressa were great hosts and quite punctual in delivering it to the guest’s designated dinning table. The atmosphere was both quiet and relaxing within a very charming home and backyard setting.
