I have known this hotel for many years and last stayed there a few years ago for family wedding the town. This visit was a "short break" in the absence of the availabilty of another hotel elsewhere and the wish to see the current exhibition at the Tate. Being January it was early and quiet and we gathered that the... more

Just arrived home from a 3 night winter break at the Porthminster Hotel, my wife booked a sea view room which gave us wonderful views over Porthminster beach and St. Ives bay. we also booked breakfast and evening meal both of which we can fully recommend. The indoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi is also a plus for this hotel.... more

We recently stayed at the Porthminster Hotel and had a really fabulous time.We had chosen the hotel from the internet and can honestly say that we were more than happy with what we found, with the reality matching the write up. Our bedroom had a balcony where we could sit and take advantage of the wonderful views over the bay.... more

The hotel is a little more run down then the website will have you believe. Nethertheless we had a lovely room with a fantastic view of the sea, and the location was great making for a sceanic walk to the harbour. The breakfast, although cooked for the masses and served in a buffet style was generous, but I didn't like... more

We stayed at the Porthminster Hotel for the final part of our honeymoon and had a lovely time there. The reception staff were very helpful and we were even offered help with our luggage! We stayed in one of the balcony suites, which was very spacious and had amazing views over the bay. The decor was impeccable and the bed... more

We have just returned from a fantastic spring break at The Porthminster Hotel. We thought the hotel was excellent the views of the bay were stunning and the food both plentiful and well cooked. The Porthminster offered good value for money we would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends. more

Had booked an expensive sea view room. Disappointingly the room had a small window with the view only visable if you stood up. The window was covered in bird mess so further obscuring the view. We were kept awake all night by a light sea beeze causing the sash window to rattle noisily. No amount of jamming with bits of... more

Staying in a hotel in a major tourist resort out of season can be a trying experience, but I have few complaints about The Porthminster (with the exception of the restaurant food). Room was excellent, and had clearly been refurbished - clean, tidy, very comfortable, good bathroom and shower, even a small mini-bar. Service was fine, staff helpful and friendly... more

We spent a long weekend in October 06 at the Porthminster. It has a wonderful location, with views across the bay and the train station at the foot of the hill. There are tennis courts bookable from reception and free to residents, and St Ives is a short pleasant stroll away. Our suite was very comfortable indeed, with a large... more
