Hotels and guesthouses
Atlantic
Hotel, Carbis Bay
Carbis Bay is a mile out of St. Ives; you can reach the old fishing village by bus or via
a cliff walk.
Howards Hotel,
Carbis Bay
All 22 guestrooms have central heating at Howards Hotel, which also features a
heated swimming pool. The hotel has a licensed restaurant and free parking on
the grounds.
Hollies Hotel
The Dowland family's cozy bed-and-breakfast is in a residential area near Porthminster Beach. The
granite house has ten rooms, many with ocean views.
The Old
Count
House
Tin miners were once paid their wages at the granite "count house," which is now
a B&B with nine rooms. In the old days, mine shareholders dined here; today, breakfast
and an optional dinner are served to guests. See
review.
Old Vicarage
Hotel
Eight guest rooms occupy this Victorian rectory, which is located half a mile from the
town center. Free parking makes it a good bet for travelers with cars.
The Porthmeor
This family-run 12-bedroom guest house is on a hill above the old town.
Porthminster View
This seven-bedroom guesthouse overlooks Porthminster Beach. Rates include a
full English breakfast, and a vegetarian menu is available.
Skidden
House
The oldest hotel in St. Ives is a 500-year-old coaching inn with eight rooms and several
benign but mischievous ghosts.
Seagulls St. Ives
A dramatic photo of St. Ives and its beach are on the home page of this
hilltop hotel, which offers views of the town and the ocean. The converted
Victorian house was built for 19th Century steamship captains.
Sloop Inn
A harborside location, a lively pub-restaurant, and a stone-and-slate building dating back
to 1312 make this a popular choice for extroverts with a taste for tradition.
(The inn didn't have a Web page the last time I checked, but here's a
review with an e-mail address and phone number.)
Tregorran Hotel, Carbis
Bay
Family suites are available at this "Mediterranean-style" hotel, which has a heated
swimming pool and is within walking distance of the West Country Golf Course.
Westcliff
Guest House
Westcliff overlooks Porthmeor Beach and is handy to beach and cliff paths. The St. Ives
branch of the Tate Gallery is a few steps away.
The Western
Hotel
One of St. Ives's original coaching houses is now a hotel. It's located in the
center of town and has two public bars that are listed in The Good Beer
Guide.

Ayr Holiday Park

the park also has pitches for tents, motorhomes, and touring caravans. The season runs
