    delicious breakfast
    cozy lounge
    street noise

    The breakfast was a real highlight, especially the perfectly cooked bacon and sausages, and my partner raved about the salmon and scrambled eggs while we enjoyed the lovely harbor view. After breakfast, we chilled out at the cozy lounge with some live music, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that we could hear some noise from the street, but it didn't ruin our stay at all. 😊

    Beautiful view with comfy stay

    My stay was fantastic! I had the King Room Sea View, which offered stunning views of the harbour, and the decor created a cozy atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was delightful with a variety of choices. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to assist us, making our experience even better.

    kitchen needs more

    The double room was really comfy. The bed felt great, perfect for a good night's sleep. The decor was nice and gave it a cozy vibe. Plus, the view over the harbour was stunning! Had everything I needed, but could've used a few more spoons and forks in the kitchen. All in all, a cozy stay with lovely views.

    sea view
    spacious apartment
    cleanliness issues

    Spacious apartment with a remarkable sea view that makes every sunrise memorable. The perfectly located room allows for easy access to St Ives' vibrant harbor and sandy beaches.

    The kitchenette left a lot to be desired with just one pan, and I didn’t find any frying pans or baking trays. the cleanliness was lacking. I discovered some food crumbs under the settee, a remote control that looked like it had seen better days, and a forgotten tissue by the bedside cabinet, which didn't sit right for a four-night stay.
