Certainly not a looker from the outside but 'location, location' as they say and this hotel is stunningly situated. The view from our bedroom ('Diggey') was breath-taking. My wife immediately claimed ownership of a comfortable chair at the window, just right to pour over the views of harbour, beach and fishing boats with a nice cup of tea. The room... More

Had a lovely time here. The staff were very helpfull, as the room we had booked didn't have the view we wanted, they moved things around and we got a harbour view. The room was great and had a balcony were we sat and had a drink before going into town. The quite area is a good place to sit... More

They must have their own micro-climate because whilst it was wild, wet and windy everywhere else in the UK, St Ives had blue skies for two days (ish) but when the gales did come it was still brilliant. Sitting in the bar drinking a cracking pint of Tribute and watching the sea crashing over the harbour walls. Envigorating. Restaurant food... More

Myself and my partner have just returned from a long weekend in St Ives, staying at the Pedn-olva in Room 1 which had an amazing view across the Bay and Harbour. Nothing but praise for the staff and the Hotel as a whole. Our stay was made to be very comfortable and the food/service was excellent . St Ives is... More

.. we decided to have 3 nights away from home at the last minute. We usually stay at The Portminster but as the prices were so high I remembered the Pedn Olva from a previous visit. We booked for 3 nights in a balcony room and were more than happy with the deal. A day before we received a courtesy... More

I stayed here with some girlfriends for one night in March. We were given a lovely welcome at reception on arrival and shown to our rooms. Both rooms looked out to sea - and boy what a view! The room was small but perfectly formed and was more than adequate for what we wanted. The bathroom was well appointed and... More

My husband and I decided to do a last minute mid week trip to st Ives. We called up late the night of our arrival and were lucky to get a room at the Pedn Olva. It's wonderful!!! We have a little balcony over looking the beach and can hear the waves crashing as we sleep with the door open.... More

We spent two nights here on their two night break deal and we had a balcony room(no 5) overlooking Portminster beach. The room was very clean but rather on the small side but was more than made up by the great location and superb views. The food was very good, especially the breakfast , and the staff very friendly and... More

We've stayed in St Ives many times and always liked the idea of staying in this hote as it is the closest you can get to being on the sea without being in a boat. We went for the cheapest b+b rate which meant getting a very small rooom as others have said (room 7). It was nicely furished and... More
