description
St Ives hotel accommodation
This hotel accommodation in St Ives, Cornwall is an Edwardian seaside villa which has been redesigned to offer modern, relaxed and stylish comfort just seconds from the beautiful Blue Flag Porthminster beach. Whether you're planning to spend time walking, surfing, art-browsing, touring, lying down, going out or staying in, and whether the stay you're planning is a couple of days or a summer holiday, you’ll appreciate the relaxed hospitality.
Take a look at their luxury hotel suite - a beautiful cocoon for an indulgent couple - which feels more like an apartment than rooms in a hotel, and is perfectly suited for a romantic break in Cornwall. The St Ives hotel accommodation bar is where to come just to relax; it's where to come for an espresso made with the finest Illy coffee, or for local, award-winning beers and ciders or for a platter - local cheeses and handmade Cornish salamis - to complement your drink, day or night, or a glass from the extensive hand picked wine list.
We welcome children 8 years old and over. Please note all our rooms are either double or twin, no family rooms.

Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
