This hotel is in a stunning position, three minute walk to Porthminster Beach and ten minutes into St Ives. Gorgeous views and just a two minute stroll to the wonderful Porthminster Beach Cafe. We had a small sea-view double which was spotlessly clean and made good use of the space. Loved the REN toiletries. Communal sitting areas and the bar... more

This hotel is in a lovely position, with beautiful views at the front overlooking Porthminster beach. It is very convenient for the town, although it is a good fifteen minutes walk to the Tate and the surfing beach, Porthmeor. We have stayed in St. Ives many times and we are used to the generally high prices, but this hotel seems... more

We would thoroughly recommend this hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked the suite which was gorgeous and a real treat! Its location is super, a minutes walk to Porthminster Beach and the cafe there. About 5 minutes walk along a path and past a few lovely cottages and you are right in the town.... more

Very nice hotel which has a clean and contemporary feel to it. There's no tired and dusty floral patterns here thank goodness. The staff were excellent - always very friendly and helpful, which ranks top of the list in my books. Food is very good indeed, and I particularly recommend the full Cornish breakfast which is a delight - NOT... more

The Primrose Valley was great from the cream tea welcome, to the amazing breakfasts. The room was great, very modern with a fantastic balcony looking over the beach. The hotel is very well decorate with a lot of personal touches - books, art etc. The breakfast was made from local ingredients with the chef making some lovely and original specials.... more

just returned from a 2 night break there and we were absolutely impressed by this hotel. we arrived by sleeper train, at the hotel's suggestion (and what a great idea for them to give you a public transport discount!), and when we got to the hotel at 0830 we were welcomed with breakfast whilst they prepared the room. the food... more

We stayed at this hotel in March 2008 and I can quite happily say that it is perfect. We booked the whole hotel out for our wedding, and had not actually visited the hotel until we turned up on the day. Within seconds we knew it was the perfect choice, and were sitting down with the owner drinking tea and... more

After being impressed by the website I booked the hotel over the phone. The last 100 yards drive is a bit tricky but fun. The railway station is just a stone’s throw away. We arrived an hour early and were welcomed with a big smile and a Cornish cream tea while our room was being prepared. A fine sandy beach... more

Well, what can I say?! My wife and I stayed for a 2 night break for my 38th birthday at the beautiful Primrose Valley Hotel. Being born and bred in Cornwall, some might wonder why not travel further afield? The simple answer is, that when you have St. Ives, Carbis Bay, Lelant, Hayle, Gwithian and Godrevy all in the St.... more

Although a little wary of tripadvisor reviews as the sole basis for selecting a hotel, the combination of previous reviews and the description of the hotel on its website were 100% reliable. My wife and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Primrose Valley and our only disappointment was that we hadn't booked for more than 4 days. It... more
