We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the hotel. I did quite a bit of research before choosing this hotel as it was both valentines week and our anniversary and I was not disappointed, the room (3) was large, nicely furnished (traditional) with a leather settee in the bay window with views of the beach and sea...

The approach to the hotel is via a steep drive way. Everyone seemed to manage it ok. To be honest it's so close to the beach and St Ive's town there is no need for a car ...unless you plan see a lot of the surrounding area. Next time we plan to do overnight sleeper and leave the car at... More

My husband and I decided 5 days prior to the weekend to head to St Ives, my top 5 choices were all closed including most of those on the Mr and Mrs Smith website for the area. One very kind gentleman from 11 SeaView Terrace (closed) suggested I look at Primrose Valley Hotel. It looked overpriced to me for what... More

Awful quality of sleep. Room was small and very cold with an ineffective electric heater. Bathroom is part of the bedroom so using it disturbs your partner. There was a near constant sound of the hot water tank for the hotel filling up. Duvet was too small for the bed so one of you will be cold during the night.... More

One night break felt like a real little holiday. Great location in a wonderful little town. Can only agree with previous positive reviews. Welcome, hospitality and breakfast all as good as you could wish for. Would certainly stay again if in the area. More

The location of the hotel is very favourable, on the beach, a short walk from the pubs and shops and galleries and next door to a great restaurant. What's not to like! The hotel is modern, stylish and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of breakfast foods served in a nice space in the hotel.... More

We stayed here in Nov for 2 nights on a Groupon deal which was excellent value for money. The hotel was slightly tricky to find but a call to the hotel for directions did the trick. The welcome was very friendly and, when we saw that the room size (no 5) was really small, the young lady happily changed us... More

We visited here for a couple of nights and were blown away by this small hotel tucked up from the beach. The lounge was very welcoming with a beautiful wooden floor and comfortable chairs. The reception was quick and easy with a very friendly lady receptionist. We'd arrived early but that was no problem and we were shown to our... More

We stayed at the Primrose Valley for 2 nights early December with brother & sister-in-law. Booked through Groupon so were a little dubious about the way we might be treated after bad publicity for Groupon & the fact they take large cut of fees. However, staff were very friendly & welcoming & we felt immediately relaxed. Breakfast & Platters were... More

We enjoyed our stay at this fantastic venue! The REN room treatment was fantastic (ladies...have the facial!) The staff were attentive but not intrusive, and the breakfast was one of the best that we have have had in the UK. More
