We spent last weekend at the primrose valley hotel and after ready numerous reviews of the aforementioned we were not disappointed. The hotel is not too easy to find. As you go from Carbis bay towards the rail station look out for a sign on a wall then immediately turn right down the steep drive-lane. It leads past a couple... More

We enjoyed our few days in St Ives. The hotel is well-kept and our sea-view was wonderful! The breakfasts were tasty and freshly cooked. Staff were friendly and helpful. The position was good for walking into town, although the car access was hairy! We expected nothing less from Cornwall! Would do a return stay, travelling by train, as the station... More

This is a lovley little hotel. The short walk into St.Ives is stunning. The environmental consciousness throughout is impressive, and I loved the fact that everything you eat is organic and provided from local suppliers. Breakfast is really good and they cook to order the most delicious varieties of a hot breakfast. Ah the small sausages! Yum! We had a... More

This is a very welcoming and pleasant hotel. Don't be put off by the slightly unattractive approach. It's lovely and warm, with friendly, helpful staff. My room was well laid out and cosy. They get extra kudos for providing big bath towels that actually wrap right round you. The breakfast was lovely and if you get downstairs early, you can... More

We headed to St Ives for a few days break in mid April, just as the sun decided to return to work after its year long strike..... I chose the Primrose Valley Hotel purely on the basis of the other TripAdvisor reviews and wasn't disappointed. As it was a special occassion, I booked the Mrs and myself into The Suite.... More

Lovely night spent in this idylic hotel. Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast. stunning view, loads of magazines in the room and great huge REN products in the bathroom. Bathroom did need a wee bit of decoration, but that is only the tiniest point everything else was spot on. Willbe back and back.

We were lucky enough to experience a rare sunny day last week and enjoy a fabulous walk on Porthminster beach which is seconds away from this charming hotel. We were just in St Ives overnight to see an exhibition and this hotel is the perfect place to stay. It's a brisk walk away from the Tate and town but through... More

This hotel strikes a good balance between large traditional Victorian house and 21st Century comfortable boutique accommodation. The service was very good, the staff friendly and the facilities excellent
