I was fortunate, I had a wonderful sea view room. Fantastic location, the town is just down the road, the beach and gardens are a pleasant walk downhill. Nearby you can get the train to Penzance. It is being refurbished, it will be even better when it is finished, but in the meantime, I found it really comfortable. All the... more
I recently stayed at the Porthminster Hotel on a buisness trip to St.Ives. On arrival at the hotel I was greeted by a friendly lady at reception who was kind enough to talk me through dinner and breakfast arrangements, car parking and directed me to the nearest bank. It was refreshing to after a long journey to be greeted by... more
This is the second time we have stayed at the Porthminster. On both occasions we were delighted with everything and the following comments apply to both breaks. The room was large, with a king-sized (at least!) bed. En suite facilities were, again, spacious. The sea view was fabulous (you must have a room with a view). Refurbishment is in progress... more
From arrival to departure, the service at the Porthminster Hotel was exceptional. The staff were charming, attentive, more than helpful....The bedroom was sheer quality and indulgence. The location and views are outstanding, amazing views of the cornish coastline , just a short walk through the beautiful hotel garden to the beach. A short walk into St. Ives town centre with... more
I stayed at the Porthminster with my husband last weekend and what a lovely experience it was !. The staff are exceptional, each and everyone seems to thoroughly enjoy working there and they are a credit to the place. We had booked a sea view room and had been advised in advance of the scaffolding and the rate had been... more
Booked in for 2 nights to this hotel. Having read the other reviews, we did wonder what we were heading for, but thought that it was worth a try. Don't do it! We were unlucky in that we were obviously in the unrefurbished part of the hotel, which was very shabby. We were moved from the first room because the... more
Dear skippyDevon Thank you for your review and latterly also for your subsequent letter to me. As expressed in my letter response I hope you will now allow me the opportunity of welcoming you back to a refurbished room in order to demonstrate the typical and usual high standards we achieve.
booked through late rooms which has proved in the past to be great value for money. The room we were allocated on arrival was just horrendous.... dirty carpet, holes in the ancient net curtains, lumpy pillows and duvet and a shower in a cupboard !!! they offered to change our room the next day which I have to say was... more
Dear joulesDevon Thank you for your review, I only wish it expressed a more typical overview of our guests experience. It appears that you were the final guests to be allocated that bedroom, prior to the builders moving in - not that this knowledge helps you now, of course. If you would consider a future stay in one of our...
This was a relatively expensive 2 night break, which did not live up to expectations. The hotel overlooks Porthminster which is a really nice setting and an easy walk into St Ives. Views from the lounge and dining room were very good and these 2 rooms were well furnished and pleasant. We ate in the restaurant both nights and the... more
Dear LilyandEdward Thank you for your review, I am delighted that you enjoyed the location, views, food and service. I am, however, extremely disapointed that you felt the rest of the hotel was tired. As you will have read elsewhere we are undergoing some very large changes at the hotel with major refurbishments now fully underway. I do hope you...
Having stayed at this wonderfully located hotel overlooking the beautiful Cornish town of St Ives previously, we were looking forward to a comfortable room with friendly service. Our expectations were surpassed on this occasion! The Porthminster now has an excellent chef producing outstanding locally sourced meals at sensible prices, and the staff in the restaurant were all very pleasant and... more
We were advised to visit the 'Porthminster' for dinner, the hotel was decrepit, a rabbit warren and the facilities available when you are dining in the restaurant are abysmal and should be condemned. This should have been our first warning sign but we perceived and stayed for dinner. Don't make the mistake that we did, this is not the Porthminster... more
