Location and facilities

Sofa bed is very inconvenient and difficult to sleep. It has caused back ache Ventilaton was a issue

loved the location

lots of stairs, very steep, no fan or air conditioning and washing machine dryer not very good drying

Location was good Room was fine

Menu could have been better choices Water supply to room poor Breakfast from 9am till 10am not practical for.the business traveller.

Lovely place very clean and well located. Ran by a professional / always available team of women.

An easy 10 minute walk from the train station The Lifeboat Inn is located on the harbour edge with fantastic views.

great location, right on the boulevard.

no parking

We were on bikes and able to pop them in the room for security. Staff really helpful & friendly & efficient & the breakfast was fast and tasty. Located right on the harbour the view was amazing.

We liked everything

Breakfast good, location excellent, staff great

Sunday lunch. No selections only burritos! What’s all that about?

the location

breakfast was terrible, out of date yogurts, sink in bedroom was blocked - repeatedly asked for it to be sorted, it wasn’t. secondary glazing in bedroom broken so kept awake by blaring music until 1am.

breakfast was very nice, just one piece of bacon which is unusual but it was well cooked as was the sausages etc, my partners salmon and scrambled eggs looked great and I was told they tasted great as well. the location for breakfast was very nice looking out onto the harbour.

No parking within a reasonable distance, had to leave the car at a nearby public car park which the only one we could find that had available spaces was on top of a very steep hill.

Pleasant stay in large clean bedroom..with large ensuite. Very good breakfast with views over the harbour

Love the location being in the middle of it all

Just the stairs in the apartment really, I don't think it's advertised enough that it's no good for children and the elderly. Having shower we found difficult not to get the whole of the floor wet.

amazing freshly cooked breakfast looking out into the sea and beach area what more could you ask for

nothing everything all good

Breakfast was excellent both in quality and quantity. The room was spotless; we stayed for 2 nights and asked for it not to be cleaned. The room was very modern, the view excellent.

Nothing. Breakfast staff were very attentive.

warm room , comfortable bed close to centre of St Ives

bathroom was a bit cold

The location was amazing, right next door to some really good restaurants. The sea view room was definitely the right choice as the sunrises in the morning were spectacular. The rooms were extremely warm and comfortable, perfect for a winter getaway. The free continental breakfast had some great options and we felt that we didn’t even need to order the hot breakfast which cost a little extra.

There was a quiz night in the main bar which you could hear quite clearly through the floorboards which might bother some some grumpy guests, but it all adds to the vibrancy of St.Ives The parking situation is the only main downside but the fact that you are literally in the best location in town completely out weighs this.

A very welcoming friendly and homely hotel, fantastic location with beautiful views.

It was ideal for what I wanted, so I couldn't say something I didn't like.

The location of The Lifeboat on the harbour at St Ives is magical. The winter sunrise from our window was fantastic. The room was warm and cosy. It was very comfortable and quiet and the decor was very attractive. There were two good armchairs and the teas/coffees included real coffee! There was also a large modern bathroom. Breakfast was served in the pub and had a very good selection.

In fact, our room was really far too warm as the heating had thoughtfully been turned up to max. As the room was well insulated and the windows only opened partially, it took a while for the room to cool down to about 23C. Conversely, the radiator in the bathroom, didn't work - but by leaving the doors open, our surplus heat managed to heat it sufficiently! Also, the room was in a converted 'loft' and the stairs up were very steep and narrow, which was tricky with cases. Parking is in one of the carparks which are a distance away.
