We stayed at Skidden House just one night while passing through St Ives.Ginnie was very kind and welcoming.The room was very nice and clean.The heating only seemed to come on for an hour early evening and for an hour at about 7am.Overnight our room was freezing and the bathroom even colder.Its a nice old house but if you stay here...

Having lived in St.ives previously, I knew we would want a hotel near the harbour to avoid the steep walks back every night, but not too near the harbour to be noisy. Skidden is perfect.

There is the good and not-so-good to report from my stay at Skidden House Hotel in early June, 2009. The more positive aspects included the welcome and treatment I received from the ever-smiling, friendly, approachable, hugable, energetic, Marianne Faithful look-alike manager Terri, who went out of her way, during her long working hours, to make sure my eleven-day stay there...

I stayed for two nights in May with my wife and 16month old daughter. The hotel is located on a narrow street close to the harbour and is thus well located. The car park is small and worth checking for availability in advance, but remains a big asset in St Ives, as parking is difficult. I concur with an earlier... More
