Lifeboat Inn

We had a great stay at the Lifeboat Inn. The room had an amazing view over the harbour. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. The staff were very welcoming and friendly

Great value in St Ives. Quaint. Lovely staff. Walk to Tate St Ives.

Nice view from our room.

Up the side alley and very steep stairs to top floor. Room nice with seperate shower room which we really liked. Shower pressure good. No view, but we knew this and its a lower price to other rooms on same sight. Central location with everything we needed. We will be booking again.

Beautiful room, very pleasant staff, view was beautiful looking out at the sea (room 4) Great breakfast, staff were very friendly and helpful

We loved our stay, and will be back one day!

The Lifeboat Inn is a nice setting and the family room overlooking the Harbour is great. Great breakfast and nice staff. No fault to the hotel but being next to the road is noisy, especially when the bin collectors are out in the morning.

The stair access both within our unit and accessing the unit was unacceptable and extremely unsafe

The property is very conveniently located along the St. Ives waterfront. Check-in is at the pub below the Inn and there was no dedicated staff to assist with luggage There is no air conditioning in the rooms and therefore, windows have to be open in warm weather in order to get some “air”. This results in all outside noice from the extremely busy waterfront (including the screaming seagulls) to echo into the room. Rooms are also only accessible by VERY narrow and steep stairs. Breakfast was included with the room and it was served in the pub below the rooms - very good selection.

Amazing location in the heart of St Ives, close to 4 beautiful beaches, restaurants & bars. Accommodation was perfect. Very spacious & comfortable.

The room was amazing with a great view the stairs to the room were very steep and shear the breakfast was a good choice of foods I ordered the full English with a poached egg it arrived without the egg i asked and eventually a bowl with a split egg was put on the table was not impressed all or rest was lovely and local produce the egg just let it down and the experience.

Fantastic , room very clean and comfortable . Outstanding view from the room. Luxury😊

Great location, very friendly staff, good food. This is on the wharf, so know there will be night noise. But accommodations were comfortable and clean.

Great location, very friendly staff, beautiful view across the bay. Close to station. Delightful stay. Thank you team x

We loved where this place was with a lovely spacious room looking out across the harbour. The car park was a little way and the stairs up to the room were steep but worth it for a very well furnished and decorated room. Staff always friendly and helpful

Delightful place to stay. Friendly helpful staff. Room spotless and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast in restaurant with lovely view.

Fabulous room with gorgeous view of the Harbour. Will definitely stay there again.

Great hotel with excellent views. Staff very good along with the food. Will definitely come again

Room above a pub that was cosy and well appointed. Breakfast served in the pub was satisfying and served with a smile. Standard pub chain food in the evening was ok but won’t delight any gastro hunters. Lifeboat Inn is on the quay and behind it is the main shopping street with lots of restaurants to choose from within 5 minutes walk.

We booked this break on a whim, as it was my wife's birthday. I have to say it is an absolute gem of a place. We had booked a long weekend and from start to finish was sublime. The room was beautiful with amazing views of the bay. It was warm and comfortable, with a large bed and great facilities. The staff were always helpful and courteous regardless how busy they were. Breakfast was filling, tasty and l have to say the tea was the best l have drunk in this country. Evening meals were outstanding and l can recommend the beer battered tiger prawns in sweet chilli sauce as a starter. St Ives is beautiful and has some wonderful beaches and walks, and the Lifeboat Inn is a perfect base.
