If I could give more stars for the location I would have, this place is stunning! Waking up in the morning and have breakfast by the sea is priceless.
The hotel looks newly refurbished and it is at 3 minutes walk from the train station, very convenient location.
The staff was also great, especially at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, I have got some food allergies and they took extra care which I really appreciated.
However, despite doing their very best, they were short staffed and we could tell that they were quite stressed.
We had an amazing time and would definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Our room - number 5 - had the perfect view but it was small. We found it really difficult navigate around the room & bathroom easily.
When we arrived for our stay (around 4.30) we enquired about a late lunch and it seemed a problem even though the restaurant was almost empty with many spare tables. It took a few minutes to be accommodated by the staff. However, we enjoyed our food & it was served quickly with smiles & efficiency.
When we left two days later we realised we had left two hats probably in our room. I have emailed separately to enquire about them on two occasions but not received any acknowledgement for reply.
Finally, guests should be really encouraged /reminded not to not drive the very tight lane to the hotel but use station car park as mentioned in confirmation booking. It was a nightmare to negotiate and we had no idea how difficult this would be.
Thank you for our stay

Room 16:
There was lots of fluff on the floor of our room, it needed a wet clean as well as vacuuming
the basin in the bathroom was very impractical, the shelf above needs to be removed to allow access.
the bed needs changing the right hand side has collapsed and leaning outwards. (We did not sleep well)

Sue the person who greeted us at the reception desk was superb, friendly, helpful and went above and beyond in the services she provided. The rest of the staff were great as well and friendly! Our stay in the hotel room which had a living room area was very comfortable and the views of the ocean right at your door were awesome! I liked the quirky layout of the room, #19, and its amenities. This hotel is in a great location in St Ives to potter about. Highly recommended!

Having walked past the hotel for many years it was amazing to stay there. The hotel has had a gorgeous makeover. Amazing! The setting is stunning. The staff are all very friendly and the food is delicious many thanks to the chefs who you don’t see. The only downside was the size of the room it was a bit cramped we stayed in room 4. We only stayed 2 nights which we managed but I wouldn’t want to stay longer in that particular room. I would definitely stay again but I would have to look at the different room options. Thank you to all the staff 😃

Following its recent refurbishment on the whole it’s a lovely job. Would we stay again, yes we would. Beautiful views across the harbour and the other direction to Porthminster from the bar and restaurant.

When we arrived, I went to book in. The receptionist went to show the people in front of us their room. The manager walked past me and sat in his office. It wasn't until a waitress came to ask the manager about her ear pods that went missing. The waitress ask me if I was being seen to and when I said no she had to prompt the manager to see to me. Reluctantly he asked me what my name was. By this time the receptionist had returned and I had to give my details again. Not a good start. The receptionist asked me if I wanted to book for dinner. I asked for a table at 18.00. She said that it would be better for 19.30. What could I do but agree. When me and my wife went down at 19.15 that waitress asked if I'd booked. I said yes, room 5. The waitress said that I hadn't booked. When she looked the receptionist had booked us in a day later.

One night in St Ives

We only stayed one night but had a wonderful room with a panoramic views of St Ives. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were aware beforehand that there was no onsite parking and the only downside was finding the hotel. Although there is a post code it doesn't help. You need to park in the station car park. The hotel is then found down a flight of steps.

Second stay at Pedn Olva. As usually the servive was excellent. The views are magnificent across the beaches. The rooms are on the small side with tiny bathrooms, which is ok for a couple of nights but think id get fed up with the micro bathroom any longer than that. The view fron the room is unbelievable. Id still fully recommend for a few nights a the best location in st ives and great service..

The bed was very comfortable but it was really cold. I think it was because the room was at the end corner of building. My neighbor in next room said that when she and her husband went by that night they could feel the cold air coming out under my door in the very small hallway. It was Oct and very windy.

We absolutely loved this hotel. Our room overlooked St. Ives Bay. From our balcony (& even our room), we could see town, watch the tide come in & go out, see the night lights in town, and watch daytime activities on the beach. Made you want to stay in the room all of the time (but we didn't).
The staff was helpful, considerate, & friendly.
I loved the artwork by \"Howard\", a local, that was displayed throughout the hotel.
Great views from the dining area too.
The hotel was clean, quiet, close to town and the beach.

Lovely stay with stunning sea view.

Amazing place with spectacular sea view. Breakfast is amazing - a selection of continental breakfast with a variety options of cooked breakfast.

Location is perfect - few min walk to both train station and town centre.

A great stay

A lovely stay, made even more perfect with the weather as we could sunbathe and swim in the pool. The room was compact but fine for two nights. Only slightly a problem being 9 months pregnant the bathroom was hard to navigate and fit in the shower but under other circumstances it would have been fine. The amenities were great such as a coffee machine, canned water and biscuits. The view was beautiful however it didn’t pre-warn you that this was over the terrace so people can sit or walk past. The breakfast was lovely and a nice choice of buffet/cooked items. The hotel is clean and all staff really friendly and helpful. Only a few things to improve it:
More hooks in the room
More ventilation in the room as very hot but nothing seemed to dry
Better access to the pool so you don’t have to walk through the restaurant.

Overall a great stay :-)

I had a great time at the hotel. It is in an excellent location - right in the heart of St Ives, and the views from the restaurant and our room are breath-taking. The only fault was the price and the fact no hot breakfast was available during our stay - but we received a reimbursement for this (with thanks).
The staff were incredibly friendly and the room was clean. Noise could easily be heard in adjacent rooms however - but fortunately this didn't affect the enjoyment too much.

It is a unique hotel right on the rocks over the beach. Staff were excellent as was food and service in the restaurant. 3 minutes from the railway station. It’s a quirky sort of building with an odd mix of decor, but very clean and great bathrooms. Lot’s of steps so not so good if you have trouble with that. Would definitely go again!

The Gluten Free menu was so appreciated and the food from both menus was great quality. The staff and service was excellent, Revisiting is a definite!! Thank you!

Excellently placed Hotel, close to all that St Ives has to offer, from a fine beach to the Tate Gallery. And only minutes walking from the rail station.
Rooms have great sea views. Our room’s facilities were utilitarian but ok for a short stay.
The Hotel’s small heated pool is a real asset.
The restaurant is functional; the food is a little basic - our fish pies were rather sloppy and would have benefitted from more fish and less potato.
Service was friendly and helpful throughout.
Overall the hotel offered fair value in popular St Ives.

A lovely anniversary stay

The room was wonderful and the view when we woke in the morning was a sunrise over the bay. The people on reception were really helpful and breakfast in the morning was a lovely experience and very relaxing, no rush either as we didnt need to checkout til 11am. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary memory.

Wonderful hotel with stunning views of St Ives

One of our favourite hotels on our whole trip! St Ives was wonderful as was Pedn Olva! Smallish well appointed rooms with stunning views, great bar and restaurant. Delightful staff. We absolutely loved our time at Pedn Olva & St Ives

Location excellent.

It was goodish. Too expensive for the room I've got, but i understand because of its location, it has to be pricey. Bad wifi in the room. Single bed not recommended. No good tv reception either and very very noisy from the restaurant above. Receptionist said it wasnt possible to change room and that was the end of it. Breakfast beautiful. Room view on the sea. Dinner ok. Location excellent.

Excellent hotel and excellent location

Excellent location, amazing views, friendly and attentive service. Will definitely be back and will go for a room with a balcony next time...the extra money is definitely worth it. If you do want to eat in the restaurant in the evening though, make sure you let them know you are staying there, otherwise you will be told they are booked up for the next week when in reality, if you are a hotel guest they will make sure they get you a table. Reserving parking for £10 per day via the hotel is also money well spent but you need to do this before you arrive to ensure you are not disappointed.

The hotel has without doubt the most beautiful location, handy for train station, beach and harbour
Unfortunately our room (room19) was really noisy as it was below the bar. The manager dealt with our concerns immediately. Although view from our loo in room 19 made up for the noise ..Thank you Sue & Kelly

Great 2 night stay

Great position for exploring St Ives, watching activities on the beach and spotting dolphins and seals at high tide! Very friendly and helpful staff, particularly at reception. The room was a little small and stuffy for January but probably not that noticeable in the summer months when you don't need the heating on and can open the windows. A balcony room is a must I would say for the extra space and to fully enjoy the views. Nice interiors - good views from bar and restaurant. Would stay here again.
