This hotel is a bit special, so if you are in the West Country and have the chance to stay go for it. We have stayed at the Pedn Olva several times over the last few years, tried other St Ives hotels, but always come back, this speaks for itself. Spotlessly clean rooms, nearly all sea facing, some with balconies.... More

In the evening, when we arrived, we could just enjoy a discrete dinner in the hotel restaurant and the warm atmosphere of the lounge. We got a room with balcony, quite small but very well furnished. The bed was like a soft hug overnight. A big window separated us from the ocean, it was late so no landscape to admire,... More

Just returned from the Pedn Olva and I must say I was very impressed! Managed to get an amazing deal on Laterooms at the end of last year for room only at under £50 for the night so decided to give it a go. On check-in we were told we had been given a comp upgrade (being a Thursday straight... More

We arrived by train and stayed three nights in a room with a balcony and so had all the benefits of the location. The sea roared all night which was marvellous- shut the door if you want it quietened! We would have liked a security chain on the sliding door so it could remain open all night and yet be... More

We've just spent Christmas at the Pedn Olva and here's our thoughts. Yes, the hotel is very expensive but it was the festive period and the location is simply spectacular. There was nothing between us and the sea which we used to drop off to sleep whilst listening to. Breakfast and Christmas dinner were really good and drinks reasonably priced... More

I think this place is trading on its stunning location. Its disappointing because it wouldn't take much to make it a much more luxurious stay eg new carpets, cleaning the toilets properly etc.we had to keep the door to our ensuite closed because of the awful smell.This smell put me off eating in the dining room as it didn't inspire...

The Pedn Olva has been on our list of "places we'd like to stay" for a while, but has always seemed a little on the pricey side, and the TripAdvisor reviews have been a bit mixed. Anyway, we found a good off-season deal, so gave it a go. The location is simply spectacular, overlooking the harbour to one side, and... More

Couldnt ask for anything more, it was lovely. Took advantage of a mid week offer for one night out of season and so it was very good value for B&B basis. All rooms have a sea view and a what a view! Although our room was tiny, it was perfect for us as we wanted a cosy little get away... More

We stayed in a balcony double and thankfully didn't pay the full room rate (>£140/night) as we booked at the last minute. After being greeted with a surly check in with no pleasantries we were shown our room which was miniscule with our 'en suite' resembling a cupboard, it wasn't big enough for me, an averaged sized male to get...
