“A lovelybreak”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

My husband and I decided we deserved a treat and booked for the special break weekend. We arrived on Friday afternoon, were met by friendly and helpful staff, parked the car and started to relax. Our room was in the original part of the hotel and was certainly 'tired' but had everything in it one needed. The water was always... More

Arrived from yorkshire after a long but pleasant journey with our driver michael who was a jordie and very friendly and accomadating. Our room was small and at the rear of the hotel room 308, but newly painted with flat screen tv and crisp white bedding the bed was a bit hard but you cant have everything,meals were fine and...

I must say that I agree with you when you say that the break was value for money. Shearings often have special deals so keep an eye out for those. Maybe you would like to try another Bay hotel in the future, there are many to chose from around England, Scotland and Wales. The newly refurbished rooms are lovely and... More

“"For what we paid very good value"”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

This was just a over night stay ,met by a very friendly happy receptionist. We were very surprised as we got just what we wanted a nice room with a fantastic view. For what you pay and get is very good value for money! St Ives can do you fantastic bed and breakfast places at double the money hotels as... More

Shearings Bay Hotels like to offer value for money, comfortable accomodation and good hot food along with friendly staff. It would appear that we have managed to tick the boxes required. Thank you for taking the time to write this review if you are ever interested in coming to St Ives again please do come and stay. More

“Shearings 'holiday' was more like endurance test!”

Reviewed April 24, 2013

The journey to Cornwall from Nottingham took an unbelievable 11 hours all together for which we were totally unprepared. The Hotel was very old and in need of refurbishment. Had to pay £42 supplement to get a sea view room. The meals were served in a dining room in which 23 people were squashed together in a very small space... More

Our regular drivers are a font of local knowledge which they like to share with their passengers so that they can enjoy the delights of Cornwall, it appears from what you are saying that this was not the case in this instance. Shearings do offer a range of breaks which include self drive in which you can either drive yourself,... More

Room 12 and 32 the rooms with the balcony are well requested rooms and they certainly have lovely views to enjoy whilst sitting outside and enjoying a glass of wine or two. The menus are varied and we would hope that something would appeal to all, most people enjoy the choices and quality so I am surprised to read your... More

The hotel has two sides to it, with the lift serving one side and three floors, reception side has two floors and is not served with a lift. You said that you were moved to a ground floor room and this would have been done to try to make your stay a more comfortable one. The fact that we did... More

We stayed here one Sunday eve after a last min idea to get away! We got the room cheap from late rooms (half price £50 instead of £100). The room was a good size and clean, the only gripe we had was no where near enough coffee/tea for us in the room and we had to ask for more. The... More

Its good to hear that you enjoyed the stay with us. It is never a problem to aquire more teas and coffees from the reception for your room. The fact that the alarm was activated and everyone was safe is of prime importance to us. There are many Bay and Coast and Country hotels within the group so why not... More

“friendly, helpful staff, good deal”

We booked the hotel direct, but was given our laterooms rate we had found online. When we arrived we were actually given a superior room with sea views. Really lovely, clean and comfortable with amazing views. Great deal which included breakfast and parking. Can't complain. Thanks

The superior rooms have fantastic views over the bay I do agree. It is good to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We do have some super deals on at the moment so if you ever fancy a trip to St Ives or any of the Shearings Bay or Coast and Country Hotels give the hotels a direct... More
