Last week I stayed for 4 nights at Lord Ryan’s House. I was in the room next to the dining room and entrance, which the website mentions can be noisy at times. I had no problem at all, which might have been because all that sea air and healthy walking tired me out, but I like to think that in... More

Mrs Mariana is a perfect host, her apartments are very clean and comfortable, it's all very good value for money, the abundant continental breakfast buffet really is worth a try, and they are a nice family. St Ives is absolutely gorgeous, with its 3 stunningly large sandy, golden beaches. Worth it. Very good for families with children - and pet-friendly!

The atmosphere was so friendly, the staff were welcoming and easy to chat to. The rooms were beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The location was ideal and allowed us to get wherever we were going quickly. The breakfast each day was delicious and freshly prepared. The dining room was open and airy and allow for a lot of sunlight, a... More

Lord Ryans has an informal, friendly atmosphere in a beautifully designed interior. My daughter & I stayed in room no.4 - the twin/double - which is bathed in that famous St Ives light. It has a delightful seaside theme in white and blue, cheerful artwork on the walls, comfortable beds and everything else we needed for our short break. The... More

A warm and happy atmosphere, delicious freshly prepared breakfast, clean comfy beds and showers, great location. Basically it felt like staying at your family's house - kettle available in the kitchen if you wanted tea and some cookies. We couldn't have felt more welcome (didn't want to leave). At a very affordable price, the en suite double room is perfect... More

Lovely place with a lovely welcome and the studio apartment is perfect for our nights stay. Two adults, one child and a dog and we love it, cosy and inviting and all the little touches make it perfect! Just a few minutes walk to the sea and parking nearby. Very clean and comfortable.....great price too!

We stay at Lord Ryans on 21st to 24th March. Its a lovely little guest house, just 7 rooms although Room 7 where we stayed is a self contained flat with a living/dining area and kitchenette (although no cooker). It was nicely decorated with white painted floorboards and walls giving a feeling of space and airiness. The lack of a... More

My daughter & I stayed at the hostel Lord Ryans in St Ives on 28.02.13. It was extremely clean and a lovely warm friendly place to stay. A buffet breakfast was also available. I would highly recommend this hostel for the best quality and value for money if you are on a tight budget. It was excellent I would certainly... More

Light and breezy, clean and tidy with a film and classics library in the dining room. -- A backpacker, I was delighted by this gem. Very friendly contact. Arrived on a cold night in March. The place was nicely tempered. Maritime setting for a summer holiday feeling. En-suite with TV and reading material (alternatively, they also have a dorm). Healthy... More
