Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is very conveniently located along the St. Ives waterfront. Check-in is at the pub below the Inn and there was no dedicated staff to assist with luggage There is no air conditioning in the rooms and therefore, windows have to be open in warm weather in order to get some “air”. This results in all outside noice from the extremely busy waterfront (including the screaming seagulls) to echo into the room. Rooms are also only accessible by VERY narrow and steep stairs. Breakfast was included with the room and it was served in the pub below the rooms - very good selection.

We loved where this place was with a lovely spacious room looking out across the harbour. The car park was a little way and the stairs up to the room were steep but worth it for a very well furnished and decorated room. Staff always friendly and helpful

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.
