We were very happy with the standard of the room, the bathroom was a little small but perfectly useable. The location was fine - even though it was up the steep hill this was quite good for working off dinner! I have to say though - this is definitely more a B&B than hotel and we were looking for more... more

Nice hotel, with car paking, very clean, good value for money, friendly hosts and good breakfast. Only one smal 'quibble', you have to order your breakfast the day before. It's a real pet hate of ours - as you never know what you will feel like eating (a lot depends on the night before!). We were visiting with friends -... more

Myself and my best friend stayed here between 8th-12th June 2008. When we arrived Louise was actually at the house waiting for us as we had emailed her to let her know our ETA which she asks all her guests to do given that her and her family do not live on the premises. We were given our own key... more

Our room was compact but everything was modern but also homely throughout. The proprietor was very welcoming and helpful. He and his wife are proud of their little hotel and rightly so - everything was to a very high standard. He runs the bar and was chatty. Breakfast was very good too. Location is a walk up hill from down... more

We stayed at The Nook for 3 days in May 2008 and would highly recommend it! The room was compact but pefectly formed. The breakfasts were fab! The hosts were very helpful and friendly. It's about a 10 minute walk to the town centre. All the main beaches in St. Ives can be easily reached by foot within 10 minutes.... more

We stayed in the 2 single rooms at The Nook. Booked for 3 nights ended up staying 4 due to fab weather and fab hotel/B+B. Lovely 10/15 minute walk into St Ives centre. Perfect hosts with very high standards of clenliness, food, etc. Nothing was too much trouble, they were polite and efficient, but not in your face! Rooms excellent,... more

i stayed for 3 nights and was really pleased with my stay. i went by myself and although the room was small it certainly was adequate. nicely decorated , the bed was a tad soft for my taste - butcertainly not uncomfy. i chose it specifically from the website - which was a nice touch! very clean and a sweet... more

Contemporary, clean, comfy and welcoming.....this sums up this lovely small hotel. Booking was easy especially as you can view their rooms on their website and choose which one you would like to stay in. we chose room 4, decorated in chocolate brown and neutral colours with a recently refurbished en suite bathroom....both fantastic. only down side is we are used... more

We would like to thank Pinklady for her review. Currently two rooms have king size beds and we plan to add another four during this Autumn's upgrade. We look forward to seeing you again.

I agree with the previous two reviews in every way. The only things that I would add is that the hotel is at the top of some very steep hills. It can be hard walking up these on your own but try pushing a buggy , its impossible. The other little thing I would say is that there is no... more

we arrived on the 4th september, booking was easy and we received some info in the post. we rang the previous day to say when we would roughly arrive. on arrival there was a walkie talkie system to announce our arrival. on doing this twice no one answered so we rang the doorbell. A rather irritated lady answered and asked... more
