Would absolutely recommend staying at the gannet inn, we had the most lovely stay, we checked in and the 2 ladies at reception were super lovely, friendly, polite and helpful, the restaurant was beautiful so cosy and atmospheric, the food was amazing with a fantastic menu and reasonably priced. We were in a room in the gannet house which was right next to the main hotel, couldn't fault it at all, it also had its own bar, the rooms were very spacious, clean and cosy, lovely shampoos/ soaps etc, nice big shower, the bed was massive & would probably say the comfiest bed I've ever slept in, i didn't want to leave it! You can catch a bus into st ives easily enough, we would definitely stay here again.

A fabulous stay from beginning to end. This stylish hotel has excellent service, delicious food and cosy, spacious light bedrooms. We enjoyed the use of the spa at Carbis Bay during our stay and it too was a delight. We look forward to returning very soon!

This hotel was lovely, small but cosy and welcoming. Rooms were nicely decorated although the sea view was disappointing. The hotel is across a road and not as close to the sea as I expected. The food is amazing! Both breakfast and dinner was about the best I had tasted! The spa at the Garbis is free to use and is stunning but all outside, so not so great if it's raining. Also hilly walk back up to the gannet.

Food was amazing, the quality was really good. Classic carbonara was lovely, chicken Kievs was a little dry but over all really nice. Staff super friendly and helpful, didn’t get the name of the girl serving us but she was lovely and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

This is my second stay in the last 6 months. The Gannet Inn is simply amazing. We did the dine and stay deal with the use of the C spa. Rooms - spacious, clean and modern yet still country-style Food - always yummy and perfect portion size Service and staff - nothing was too much trouble and always lovely Everywhere is beautifully done out and very clean. Felt like we were getting a lot without braking the bank!

We went for Sunday lunch here today. It was exceptionally good. One of the best roasts I’ve ever eaten… and I’ve eaten a few! The service was really good. We had some excellent Italian red wine too. We will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff.

I had an advert pop up on Facebook and see they had curry evening on a Friday, as we both liked curry we booked to go, when we arrived we see it was a Chicken Madras, as I’m a whimp we decided to have a burger instead, £18:50 we wasn’t expecting much or a lot for our money, how wrong was we, we had loads, the coleslaw was amazing too and we was both full. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the inside was beautiful and well decorated, would highly recommend and will definitely return when we are back down this way from the midlands ♥️

Friendly welcome at this lovely hotel a short distance from St Ives. My cosy room on the first floor had a king size bed which was so comfy, windows which opened, en suite shower room, tv, tea/coffee making, hairdryer and iron. The room was very clean, fresh and well decorated, quiet location. The bus stop into St Ives was a few minutes along the road, served by regular buses. The Carbis Bay hotel with Spa facilities was a 10 minute walk downhill with a few minutes more to the beach. We had the use of the spa facilities which was very relaxing. Lovely breakfast served by friendly, helpful staff. Overall a wonderful short stay and would recommend and certainly stay again. Thank you.
