Lifeboat Inn

Delightful place to stay. Friendly helpful staff. Room spotless and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast in restaurant with lovely view.

Fabulous room with gorgeous view of the Harbour. Will definitely stay there again.

Great hotel with excellent views. Staff very good along with the food.Will definitely come again

We booked this break on a whim, as it was my wife's birthday. I have to say it is an absolute gem of a place. We had booked a long weekend and from start to finish was sublime. The room was beautiful with amazing views of the bay. It was warm and comfortable, with a large bed and great facilities. The staff were always helpful and courteous regardless how busy they were. Breakfast was filling, tasty and l have to say the tea was the best l have drunk in this country.Evening meals were outstanding and l can recommend the beer battered tiger prawns in sweet chilli sauce as a starter. St Ives is beautiful and has some wonderful beaches and walks, and the Lifeboat Inn is a perfect base.

Fantastic locationOur room Was huge and very tastefully decorated Lovely breakfast and nice touch with lagers in fridge ! Staff friendly and helpful

3 french guys cycling around Cornwall, stopping at a different place every night. Life boat and Saint Yves coupled with a late dinner at Porthminster Kitchen has been a thrill. The room 1 fully booked for us was the best accomodation of our tour. And the breakfast was delicious too. Thanks a lot!

Was our first time in Cornwall, and for sure not the last!Position 10/10

Really old but sensitively maintained with the most beautiful sea views, food and service good, lovely stay and highly recommended, st Ives is very busy and often congested with people and traffic, and no parking at the hotel, finding space in any of the car parks was a nightmare, also public car parks up steep hills so be aware if you suffer any physical disabilities, however st Ives is definitely worth a visit,

Room above a pub that was cosy and well appointed. Breakfast served in the pub was satisfying and served with a smile.Standard pub chain food in the evening was ok but won’t delight any gastro hunters.Lifeboat Inn is on the quay and behind it is the main shopping street with lots of restaurants to choose from within 5 minutes walk.

Location excellent but the stairs up to and inside the apartment are very steep and narrow. Nowhere on the listing does it say there are stairs inside the apartment and you have to go upstairs to the bedrooms and downstairs then up again to the bathroom which is very difficult and a little dangerous at night in particular. Old building so I understand and the headroom in the bathroom is restricted. I banged my head a few times. If I knew about the stairs into and inside the apartment I would not have booked it. Listing says free bottled water, there was none, 2 toilet rolls on arrival and had to supply after that even though I asked for more.

Great location, stairs up to/inside a problem

Nice reasonably priced apartment with some awful stairs. May have thought twice about booking if I'd known about them. Not ideal if you have mobility issues.2 night stay so minimal contact with staff but was always courteous with a smile. The skylights were covered in cobwebs & could do with a dusting. I think some had been there as long as the building ;)

Perfect location, with awesome harbour views from the lounge area.  Clean, & well-maintained.  We were missing a towel, hairdryer & the remote for our bedroom TV.  Towel & hairdryer were requested a few times, but never materialised. No chopping board or bread knife, so if you're planning a long stay, & enjoy a freshly baked loaf like we do, make sure you pack one.  Master bed is not the most comfortable, fine for a few nights - not sure we'd have coped a full week, mattress needs replacing.That said, the location is perfect - there are steep stairs to contend with, so not suitable for those who struggle to walk or have a buggy.  Perfect for us with our 3-year-old & 11-year-old.  Tea, coffee & sugar included, which is a nice touch for self-catering.  We would stay again.

Great location, lovely views.

Excellent location, lovely room and nearly all the staff were friendly and helpful. Food is also very good. One down side was there was no mini fridge as stated. I even rang as we stopped at the shop 5 minutes away to double check before buying fridge stuff for sandwiches for the forthcoming days. Told all rooms have them. Spent over £50 on food to turn up and be told our room is the only one without a fridge as it was broken! Wasn’t the best start! If it weren’t for this it would have been brilliant instead of good.

Almost perfect!!!

This is w great property right in the center of St. Ives. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The only challenge is parking. We arrived at 7:30 in the evening, dropped off our luggage and went to look for parking. After more than an hour search we ended up in a far lot. I recommend you get the number of a taxi so if you are parked far away you can avoid a long walk (particularly if it is dark). Despite the parking problems I would high,y recommend if you enjoy being right on the water in the center of town.

The location and apartment was amazing and the staff were so friendly and could not have done anymore. The food was delicious and very reasonably. The only thing that we did find was that we didn’t get any sleep due to the noise outside when people were walking past late at night but overall we enjoyed our time.
