My wife and I visit Cornwal and St Ives on a regular basis so have stayed in a number of hotels and guest houses over the years in St Ives. You could not better The Rookery. The owners- Ron & Barbara- could not be nicer and make you feel so very comfortable. Ron should have been on the stage, he... More

We recently had a perfectly lovely stay at The Rookery. The location is great. We came by train and it is a very short walk from the station. Our rooms were large, comfortable, spotlessly clean and had great views of the harbor. Our genial host, Ron, could not have been more obliging - he even took us in his car!... More

My wife and I have just returned from a trip to cornwall for the new year festivities. The welcome we received from the proprietors of the Rookery was really good. The place is relaxed and friendly with a good standard of accommodation and excellent views. The breakfast is excellent. The house is part way up a large hill so may... More

It's worth starting any review of this Guest House with the phrase "Ron is a character", because that's the abiding memory I'll have from our couple of night stay here! The Rookery is perfectly situated for St. Ives, you can walk anywhere in town within 5 minutes. This important, as St. Ives does not like the car, and parking is... More

We booked in advance for a short,4 night, break and stayed in room no.3.This room has two large... More

We stayed last weekend and I have to say it was a perfect choice. We travelled by train and it took us about 5 minutes from the station to the front door. We had a heavy bag with us, so it must be a shorter walk without. Our room, number 3, had a fantastic view over the beach, a good... More

We had a great break in St Ives and enjoyed our stay here. Our room wasn't the largest and could do with a little renovation but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The best aspect of it though was definitely the view which is fantastic. Breakfast is only served between 8:30 and 9:00 and you need to decide what you... More
