St Ives has many guest houses and bed and breakfast establishments - more than fifty at the last count.

There is a great variety of places to stay:

• Traditional family run .
• Boutique luxury.
• Small hotels.
• Specialist - Vegetarian etc.
• Pubs.

In the main holiday season, which here runs from Easter to September the town gets very busy - so its a good idea to book early.

If you are making a last minute booking then it might be worth calling Tourist Information on 01736 796297 as they have a list of available rooms.

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