Nicholas, 1-night trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

This lovely hotel is well positioned for a stay in St Ives. It’s out of the town which makes parking and travelling around very easy. You can catch a bus or taxi to the centre easily. The restaurant could be improved - if you had a great chef in the hotel - this place would be awesome. At the moment it’s pretty hard to get cooked toast with your poached eggs at breakfast. The staff too are pretty changeable some are fantastic - others one guy in particular, tired and in need of a holiday himself. Luckily there’s a fab Spanish restaurant down the road - walking distance - which is a great spot for dinner.

Rooms are fabulous however in my opinion the dining areas need attention - amongst the lovely wing back chairs are rattan dining chairs which aren’t suited to the masculine decor. The sister hotel, Carbis Bay Hotel, is devine, I was surprised that when I asked about eating out it wasn’t recommended. Dining experience at the Gannet was very average.

6/10 Good

Car park too small. Room was clean and nicely furnished. Shower room way too small and the shower leaked giving the shower and bedroom a damp smell. Outside area doesn’t have enough seating. Overall although quite pleasant it doesn’t warrant the price point.

Great location and a beautiful property. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. One of the few places in Cornwall with actually good coffee!

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel had a particularly good restaurant for dinner, the included breakfast, and afternoon Cornish Cream Tea. The walk to Corbis Bay beach is quite steep but only takes about 10 minutes and the beach is great. The walk to St Ives takes 45-60 minutes and is one of the prettiest coastal walks anywhere. I think most people take the bus to St. Ives (you want to avoid parking there) but be sure to leave time for a walk at least once.

Lovely sea view room but we had an attic room so have a sore head due to forgetting to duck. Excellent restaurant with an attractive menu, Sunday lunch especially good. Had the option of limited use of spar facilities ar sister hotel Carbis Bay but did not take up this option.

2/10 Poor

Poor service and tired guest house
Service at check in was terrible. The person was really rude and argued about whether it had been paid in advance (which it had) without properly checking. No apology. Room and corridors in annex were tired and needing refurbishment. No where near the £305 a night standard.

Wonderful
Have just returned from a wonderful 7 night stay at the Gannet Inn. Hotel is impeccably clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, the food both at breakfast and dinner was superb. Would highly recommend.

A lovely boutique hotel although in need of some refurbishment in places, e.g. worn stair carpet. The hotel is in a great location for easy access to Carbis Bay and St. Ives by train or on foot.
