We booked this break on a whim, as it was my wife's birthday. I have to say it is an absolute gem of a place. We had booked a long weekend and from start to finish was sublime. The room was beautiful with amazing views of the bay. It was warm and comfortable, with a large bed and great facilities. The staff were always helpful and courteous regardless how busy they were. Breakfast was filling, tasty and l have to say the tea was the best l have drunk in this country. Evening meals were outstanding and l can recommend the beer battered tiger prawns in sweet chilli sauce as a starter. St Ives is beautiful and has some wonderful beaches and walks, and the Lifeboat Inn is a perfect base.

Quite the worst experience we have ever had with Hotels. com, probably 15 years now. Room, no 3 , can not possibly be legal in terms of accessibility. Basin permanently blocked. Vastly overpriced at over £200 per night.

3 french guys cycling around Cornwall, stopping at a different place every night. Life boat and Saint Yves coupled with a late dinner at Porthminster Kitchen has been a thrill. The room 1 fully booked for us was the best accomodation of our tour. And the breakfast was delicious too. Thanks a lot!

Location excellent but the stairs up to and inside the apartment are very steep and narrow. No where on the listing does it say there are stairs inside the apartment and you have to go upstairs to the bedrooms and downstairs then up again to the bathroom which is very difficult and a little dangerous at night in particular. Old building so I understand and the headroom in the bathroom is restricted..banged my head a few times. If I knew about the stairs into and inside the apartment I would not have booked it. Listing says free bottled water, there was none, 2 toilet rolls on arrival and had to supply after that even though I asked for more.

The apartment was well equipped and a good size. The view was amazing. I cannot put into words how awkward we found the layout with so many stairs. There are stairs that lead from the ground to the front door of the apartment. Once you are in the apartment there are stairs that lead from the kitchen and lounge up to two bedrooms. There are seperate stairs that lead from the kitchen and lounge up to the bathroom. So if you are in bed and need the loo you have to go down a set of very steep stairs and then up another set of very steep stairs. Also the windows are locked and cannot be unlocked as there is no key (this needs to be addressed urgently). Due to the stairs we did not feel that this was a particularly relaxing stay.

Really old but sensitively maintained with the most beautiful sea views, food and service good, lovely stay and highly recommended, st Ives is very busy and often congested with people and traffic, and no parking at the hotel, finding space in any of the car parks was a nightmare, also public car parks up steep hills so be aware if you suffer any physical disabilities, however st Ives is definitely worth a visit,

Literally right on a noisy crowded boardwalk. When the tide comes in there is some water to look at. The rest of the time there are some small boats sitting there. Room was missing a phone and other basic amenities. It was not a pleasant experience and I left a day early, losing the money I had spent rather than staying.

Lovely stay in quirky old building, steep steps up to room which were tricky with a suitcase, but amazing location.

On the waterfront is this amazing property. The rooms are pleasant, the place is full of history. Parking is a little difficult and the streets very narrow but it is an ancient town

Nice reasonably priced apartment with some awful stairs. May have thought twice about booking if I'd known about them. Not ideal if you have mobility issues. 2 night stay so minimal contact with staff but was always courteous with a smile. The skylights were covered in cobwebs & could do with a dusting. I think some had been there as long as the building ;)

Perfect location, with awesome harbour views from the lounge area. Clean, & well-maintained. We were missing a towel, hairdryer & the remote for our bedroom TV. Towel & hairdryer were requested a few times, but never materialised. No chopping board or bread knife, so if you're planning a long stay, & enjoy a freshly baked loaf like we do, make sure you pack one. Master bed is not the most comfortable, fine for a few nights - not sure we'd have coped a full week, mattress needs replacing. That said, the location is perfect - there are steep stairs to contend with, so not suitable for those who struggle to walk or have a buggy. Perfect for us with our 3-year-old & 11-year-old. Tea, coffee & sugar included, which is a nice touch for self-catering. We would stay again.
