We had a top time here. We had a lovely sea view room with balcony, spa bath and 4 poster bed! Food and staff were really fantastic and we were sad to say goodbye. We've already rebooked for next year. Bring on more fun in the sun.

Disappointed

When we booked (DB&B)we asked for a brochure which was duly sent, when it arrived there was no sample menu, so I rang to ask what they had and was asked if I would like to be sent a sample menu, I explained that I had already been sent a brochure (which I had to ask for) and was told I had to ask specifically for a sample menu as its not sent with the brochure (very odd) When we arrived the staff were ok, at dinner the service was poor, and at breakfast the service was terrible we had to wait several minutes before we were told "sit anywhere you want" and before we had sat down as we were walking past other tables the waitress asked us what we wanted to drink!! The room was ok and the bathroom was very good. When we checked out we were not asked if we had enjoyed the stay we didn't even get a smile!! Won't be staying here again as simply other hotels are better.

Fantastic - What a Gem !!!

We stayed at The Porthminster a few years ago and having thoroughly enjoyed our stay there went back again this Easter. We decided to spoil ourselves and pay a small supplement and have a suite. Coincidentally the room number seemed to ring a bell as being the same as when we stayed there before. However, when we arrived whilst the room was in fact the same number that was the only thing the same. Apparently the rooms had just been refurbished and wow what a difference there is. We had our own sitting room where we could sit and look over the St Ives Bay. The bed was a massive half tester and the bathroom had an enormous spa bath. There were also sumptuous bathrobes to relax in after a long refreshing soak. The food and service were excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly with nothing too much trouble. We can certainly recommend The Porthminster and will definitely be returning before too long.

A second Home - Great Value - Great Location - Great Facilities

I have been holidaying at The Porthminster for some 30 years staying at all times of the year and can only offer praise as the number of visits which are by now too numerous to remember bear testament to. I have had many other holidays and stayed in countless other Hotels over the years so my views are not those of some parochial yokel who knows nothing different but a balanced view from experience. A visit to The Porthminster is like visiting a second home. Firstly all the management and staff are courteous, friendly and helpful with the sole intention of making your stay a pleasant and memorable one. The views of the stunning St Ives Bay from the bar lounge, lounge, and due to the Victorian design most of the bedrooms, have to be experienced as words cannot do them justice. The food is excellent and plentiful and should you not find something to tempt you on the varied choice 5 course Table dÂ’hote menu there is a wide A la Carte menu also available. There are both indoor and outdoor swimming pools together with a gym where you can work off the excesses of over indulgence or there is a pleasant garden where you can sit and while away the hours with panoramic views of the bay. The bedrooms are pleasant and roomy offering all the normal requirements and the management continually strive to improve facilities in line with modern demands. Indeed over the winter months the majority of the rooms have been subject to a full refurbishment and on my last stay in February even I was totally amazed. Some rooms boast a four poster or half tester bed together with spa baths and all the other refinements normally associated with a four star hotel rather than the three currently allocated. To coincide with the refurbishment I noticed the web site (http://www.porthminster-hotel.co.uk/) has been revised, which unlike the previous one now really does give a true reflection of what The Portminster offers. When taking everything into consideration The Porthminster offers excellent value for money. I can fully recommend a holiday at The Porthminster whether it be a family summer holiday or an out of season break and should you want something different for the Christmas and New Year period I can thoroughly recommend that as well.

Top Local Tips for St. Ives

Location Don't stay in the center of St Ives unless you don't mind crowds. I recomend staying just a short walk away from the town centre it is much more peaceful.

Restaurant St. Andrews street Bistro- fantastic food, loved it

Relax on the beach The Porthminster beach with its golden sands , beautiful turquoise sea and vibrtant atmosphere and stunning views of the harbour is absolute paradise . We love to eat at the Porthminster Beach Cafe we have been visiting that cafe since it opened well over 18 yrs ago , the food is wonderful fresh fish cooked in a mediterranean way . Or alternatively eat fish and chips that are delicious ,freshly cooked from the take away underneath the beach cafe . The magic of St Ives has drawn us back each year now for a quarter of a century , its unique light , mild climate , art galleries and friendly , welcoming local people give us a very special hoilday.
