"Room 6 - Lifeboat Inn St Ives"

8.0

Up the side alley and very steep stairs to top floor. Room nice with seperate shower room which we really liked. Shower pressure good. No view, but we knew this and its a lower price to other rooms on same sight. Central location with everything we needed. We will be booking again.

"Nice place to stay in heart of St Ives"

8.0

The Lifeboat Inn is a nice setting and the family room overlooking the Harbour is great. Great breakfast and nice staff. No fault to the hotel but being next to the road is noisy, especially when the bin collectors are out in the morning.

The stair access both within our unit and accessing the unit was unacceptable and extremely unsafe

The property is very conveniently located along the St. Ives waterfront. Check-in is at the pub below the Inn and there was no dedicated staff to assist with luggage There is no air conditioning in the rooms and therefore, windows have to be open in warm weather in order to get some “air”. This results in all outside noice from the extremely busy waterfront (including the screaming seagulls) to echo into the room. Rooms are also only accessible by VERY narrow and steep stairs. Breakfast was included with the room and it was served in the pub below the rooms - very good selection.

Great location, very friendly staff, good food. This is on the wharf, so know there will be night noise. But accommodations were comfortable and clean.
