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,

Great

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 ;)

Lovely stay thanks

Excellent staff, property, pub, location, vibe, and personal touches. Loved it. The one difficulty is the parking.

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.

The staff were so lovely. We had an amazing time there.

Great location with lovely people. Overall happy with stay, water pressure very low and shower floor could do with a clean but enjoyed. Great breakfast.

Fab view over St Ives Harbour.

Lovely place

Excellent

Perfect location superb views. The stairs are very steep bathroom ceiling painfully low still got the bumps on my head

Excellent location, lovely room and nearly all the staff were friendly and helpful. Food is also very good. One down side was there was no mini fridge as stated. I even rang as we stopped at the shop 5 minutes away to double check before buying fridge stuff for sandwiches for the forthcoming days. Told all rooms have them. Spent over £50 on food to turn up and be told our room is the only one without a fridge as it was broken! Wasn’t the best start! If it weren’t for this it would have been brilliant instead of good.

Room was clean and bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious. Great sea view.

Spacious room overlooking harbour was very clean and tidy. Good range of St Austell beers in the bar and a good choice of breakfast, cooked perfectly. Staff were amazing too, nothing too much trouble for them. A very pleasant couple of nights.

I had a beautiful view from my window. The location was superb.

Lovely location right on the waterfront- but our room was at the side so sadly didn’t get the views .. surprisingly quiet as in the centre of town, large comfortable bedroom and bathroom, great breakfast, nice place for a beer and a chat with friends, highly recommend and would stay again!!

Fabulous staff, location, room, food....best inn we've ever stayed in. The view was something special.

Great location and lovely big rooms. However, be aware that the rooms are located down the alley where the bins get moved in and out of and the beer barrel deliveries happen both starting from 6:30am. Check out is at 10am too and very limited parking in St Ives.

Amazing stay, everything so clean nice and warm. We found the automatic low lighting in the bathroom a brilliant idea. The views were lovely we sat in front of window for a hour just looking out. Definitely had the wow factor when you walked in.

Amazing location right on the central seafront in St Ives.

We loved our stay at the Lifeboat Inn. The staff was very nice and went out of their was to be as helpful as possible. The full English breakfast was very nice

A perfect ‘over-nighter’ for visiting the beautiful town of St Ives

Lovely clean room, friendly staff, fantastic sea view. The breakfast was good too!

This is w great property right in the center of St. Ives. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The only challenge is parking. We arrived at 7:30 in the evening, dropped off our luggage and went to look for parking. After more than an hour search we ended up in a far lot. I recommend you get the number of a taxi so if you are parked far away you can avoid a long walk (particularly if it is dark). Despite the parking problems I would high,y recommend if you enjoy being right on the water in the center of town.

The location and apartment was amazing and the staff were so friendly and could not have done anymore. The food was delicious and very reasonably. The only thing that we did find was that we didn’t get any sleep due to the noise outside when people were walking past late at night but overall we enjoyed our time.

We were in an apartment. It was well equipped. The location was very good, and there were sea views. The only issue was the stairs both from the street and inside the apartment. However, this is clearly pointed out when booking in reviews, and there is obviously nothing that can be done about it.

Clean & tidy room, great location with brilliant view of the harbour, good food with friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic locationVery friendly & kind staffBreakfast was one of the best I have ever tasted!Thanks
