“Amazing stay, excellent amenities and incredible food!”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We.stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. The food is the biggest asset. It was consistently excellent. Some of the best food we've eaten. 3 course set menu is delicious with something different every night. Spa was great. Staff were sometimes slow getting the drinks but very friendly so we didn't mind :-) The rooms are comfy and... More

“Our Perfect Wedding Day”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We recently got married at the St Ives Harbour Hotel, which also included our evening reception. I can't praise the hotel and it's staff enough for their efforts on the day. However even before the day the help and advice from the wedding co-ordinators Rebecca, Elle and Serene was second to none, and nothing was too much trouble for them.... More

“A lovely break”

We enjoyed an extremely good-value two night break at the Harbour Hotel in April which included a three course lunch and a massage treatment. We were initially dismayed by the car parking facilities, but our concerns were groundless because the staff were so helpful and the car was always brought ready for our use when requested. We found all the... More

“Fabulous and comfortable with the wow factor!”

We are not oblivious to the few issues raised in some other reviews but, we felt that you'd have to be a real moaner, looking for something to grumble at, for these things to be your conclusive and overall appraisal. There was a lot of work going on but heyho, sometimes work of this nature has to be done, there... More
