St Ives has hotels to cater for every taste and budget.

These include small family run establishments, boutique luxury hotels and larger places with leisure and function room facilities.

In the main holiday season, which here runs from Easter to September, places are heavily booked, so book early.

From October to March, apart from Christmas and New Year, its a bit quieter, but the best places do still get booked up well in advance.

On New Years Eve St Ives hosts one of the biggest parties in England, with thousands of people thronging the streets to celebrate. If you want to join in and stay in town then you should book a room as soon as possible.

Standing in its own 72 acre estate the hotel overlooks St Ives with glorious views over the town and St Ives Bay.

Forget your usual seaside holiday - relax in the glorious climate of Cornwall in your very own castle. From the huge range of activities on site to the beautiful beaches a stone's throw from the front door, you will never run out of things to do.

Whether you're flying solo, looking for a romantic break or relaxing with the family, they have the perfect space for you. There are 84 rooms available to choose from in six categories, including family rooms, sea views and apartments.

Whether you want a romantic meal for two or a light lunch in the sunshine on the terrace, pull up a chair and enjoy delicious, locally sourced food in The Tregenna Brasserie. Serving breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch and dinner - including children's menus.

Leisure facilities on the estate include an indoor heated pool with sauna, steam room and hot tub, an outdoor heated pool (May - Sept), a fitness suite, tennis, outdoor kids play area and a woodland walk.

There is a challenging 18 hole par 3 golf course - voted as one of the most scenic in the country.

Castle Beauty Spa is also there to pamper you with a range of therapeutic and beauty treatments.

Small, private, luxurious, informal, tranquil, relaxing. Just some of the words to describe one of St Ives' best hotels. They offer five individually designed suites and beautiful views over the bay. There is also a bar and restaurant.

According to one independent review:
"The experience of staying at the Blue Hayes is altogether unique. It is a modernized old fashioned experience, where you can roam around the house, read a book, sit on the terrace, dine – in short, enjoy your holiday without ever having to leave. This is the kind of hotel you would stay at if it was on a roundabout in the middle of the M25 - where the hotel is the holiday. It is tranquil and luxurious."

As an added bonus - Blue Hayes is not on the M25, its a ten minute stroll from St Ives Harbour !

The wonderful Garrack Hotel and Restaurant is set in two acres of gardens and with spectacular ocean views, our hidden hotel feels peaceful and secluded - but it’s just a short walk down to the beaches of St Ives town.

Most of the Garrack Hotel's bedrooms have beautiful views of St Ives Bay, and the reception rooms are inviting havens of cosy corners and open fires. The Garrack Hotel has a Trip Advisor "Certificate of Excellence".

Our AA-Rosette-awarded restaurant serves quality Cornish produce - with the most stunning backdrop imaginable. Or try our lively Quarterdeck Terrace Bar by the indoor swimming pool.

Friendly and informal, we welcome families, all couples, wedding parties, non-residents - and anyone who appreciates relaxing with fabulous food and stunning sea views.
