Lifeboat Inn stay
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 ;)

Great location, lovely views.
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.

Almost perfect!!!
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.
