Great views of St Ives, beaches and sea, more than just 'sea view'. Downhill walk via interesting cemetry (artists & titanic) takes you to Tate St Ives (15 minutes downhill, 20 minutes uphill). Taxi to Porthminster Beach (excellent restaurant) was under £5. Coastal path with field of llamas is at top of car park and takes you to St Ives.... More

Over the last 6 months we have stayed twice. Both times we had lovely rooms with sea views. The room each time was very clean. The evening meals were of excellent quality and value - top notch! The breakfasts were perfect with lots of choice all served up in a lovely bright and airy restaurant with wonderful views. All the... More

Clean rooms, but a bit underwhelming. Bit dated. Food good. Dinner menu fine, breakfast good and freshly cooked. Staff good and very friendly. Long walk down to the town, and quite a trek back up. Not a cheap experience by any means- and a firm request when paying to add gratuities for staff! More

We recently enjoyed a long weekend with the family at the Garrack. It is a somewhat hidden gem overlooking the sea on the outskirts of St. Ives. The best part of our stay was the friendly attitude of the owners and staff who made our vacation more pleasurable then in a standard hotel. The only mistake we made was to... More

This place has so much potential - a very attractive garden and the restuarant is lovely, serving a really good breakfast, but the rooms really let it down. For what I paid and what I saw on the website, I wasn't expecting my room to be as dated (and mix & mash) as it was. It was a bit depressing,... More

The Garrack is a lovely hotel in a fantastic position overlooking the coast and St Ives. We have just returned home, having enjoyed a weekend break there. Our room was clean, comfortable and warm. The hotel serves amazing food - and we have previously experienced amongst the best in Cornwall, having stayed numerous times at the hotel of a certain... More

We really enjoyed our stay at The Garrack, which is in a superb setting on the outskirts of town set within its own grounds and has a nice relaxed atmosphere, also very friendly and helpful staff/owners. We had a lovely room - good sized with a large bed and superb sea views. We could not fault the meals which were... More

Just returned from a visit to St. Ives and a three night stay at the Garrack. Wonderful service on reception when we arrived (unknowingly) a day late. They didn't bat an eyelid but gave us a large, very clean and comfortable room with amazing views over St.Ives. Food was fabulous with panoramic views from the restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful.... More

I needed a couple of days R and R and booked St Ives mainly for the Tate. I ended up at the Garrack, and I will return. Yep it is a tad dated. A trifle stuck in the seventies and eighties. In a little need of some updating and TLC. But it would probably cost £100k plus to turn it... More
