Booked this on spec on the net and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice staff, nice rooms. Location is a bit out of town (down a fairly steep hill for guests of reduced hillwalking desires), but it's wonderfully quiet. The breakfast is amazing!!

This was our first stay at The Nook in St. Ives but it won't be our last. Everyone at the hotel was lovely and helpful. Our room was really comfortable with two great views over the water. Everything in the room was lovely and new and we could adjust the radiators in the bedroom and the bathroom to match our... More

We have been staying at the Nook 3 or 4 times a year, for the past 5 years, whilst on shortbreaks to Cornwall, from Bristol. Ever since the very first visit John and Joan have done nothing but make us all fell very welcome. We have been so impressed each time we visit that we have, on separate occasions, taken... More

The Nook is a modern, fresh and clean b&b. Rooms have been designed with pride and the finishing touches are clear to see. Staff and owners are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is great and variety appreciated. The only small drawback is the walk from the harbour is a little steep, but the taxi ride was £3.50 so really couldn't complain.... More

Guests are made to feel welcome from the moment they arrive at this small hotel/large B&B. The property is well decorated, modern and clean. My room had everything you would expect within this price-range. The cooked breakfast is excellent (but avoid the croissants, just frozen and reheated). I had a very enjoyable stay at the Nook, with the only negative... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights earlier this month on a whistle stop tour of Cornwall (with a bit of Bath thrown in on the way home). The place is lovely. The proprietors couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, even organised a bit of late summer sunshine for us (shame they couldn't iron out the hills a but... More

Lovely welcome on arrival, spacious lounge for use of guests. Spotless bedroom, nicely decorated and smart en suite. Breakfast has everything - and so can you- nothing was too much trouble and all served with a smile.

the nook is a wonderful hotel, clean, friendly, great hosts and great breakfast, near to the beaches and attractions, good size tv, and shower room. However Ace Taxis in the town should be avoided, booked a cab for my return journey and they did not arrive and kept diverting my call, as I had a booked train ticket I had... More

My wife and I have just returned (7/9/2012) from a five night break at the Nook Hotel in St Ives. We had a great time. We had booked Room 2 which suited us very well - the facilities are just as described on the Nook website. The bathroom is small, but recently refurbished, and quite smart. A second towel rail...

As first time B&B users we are delighted with The Nook. This B&B has parking which is rare in StIves,. Our room, no 2, has a seaside view, is light and airy. The bed is extra comfy and the room has plenty of storage facilities, a small bar fridge, good size tv and plenty of power points for recharging the... More
