Hotels in St Ives

Boskerris Hotel sits above Carbis Bay with Atlantic views and a calm, boutique feel — a good first base if you want coastal quiet over town-centre convenience. It works well for leisure stays and working retreats, less so for back-to-back meetings in St Ives. Booking is easy year-round outside peak summer. Compare it against Trevose Harbour House or Headland House if location is your priority.

Harbour View House Hotel occupies a well-placed address near St Ives harbour, making it a practical base for exploring the town's beaches, galleries, and coastline. It suits guests who prioritise location over amenities — there's no pool or spa here. For returning visitors, the position delivers; for first-timers wanting more facilities, consider Trevose Harbour House or Carbis Bay Estate instead.

Headland House sits on the quiet side of Carbis Bay, a mile from St Ives town centre and above one of Cornwall's better sandy beaches. It suits travellers who want a calm, residential-feel base over a harbour-front location. Book two to three weeks out in low season; six to eight weeks ahead for August travel.
