Boskerris Hotel

Best hotel I have ever been... and I travel for a living! Any room in the house is amazing but if you get the chance, book the celebration room. You will not want to leave. Ever. Food is superb and the wine selection is very smart. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel decor is very chic. The views from the hotel are breathtaking. I wish I had discovered Boskerris sooner. I will most definitely be back!

Fantastic stay at this lovely hotel overlooking Carbis Bay, only 3 minutes by coastal train from St. Ives. Went in October--fewer crowds, weather was cool, sunny. As a woman traveling alone, I seek quality, comfort and safety--and they delivered. The devoted staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Meals were exceptional, you can't beat the view from the bar and terrace (ask Emma to mix you a gin and tonic), and they helped me find ways to explore both locally and beyond. Great walks along the cliff paths, beaches and upland into the forests. St. Ives lives up to its reputation, I had fun exploring the side streets as well as the popular tourist sites. Highly recommend the Boskerris and would absolutely return there.

We keep returning to this relaxing hotel and feel at home here. Still finding things to do in the area and the fancy Scrabble board is always used! See you next year !

My sister and I recently stayed in the Boskerris Hotel overlooking Carbis Bay. Such a wonderful experience. Hotel was beautiful with lovely bedrooms. Breakfast had a great selection and dinners were outstanding. The welcome and staff were all so kind and helpful. We will be back. Lou

What a delightful hotel! The atmosphere is wonderful--fantastic views, great local art, and comfortable rooms. The staff, especially Ann, are lovely. Everyone was so charming and accommodating. And not to mention the food. Some of the best meals we had on our 2 week stay in England, from the tastiest fish dishes to the scrumptious breakfasts to the ever-so appreciated homemade cookies in our room! I cannot recommend this hotel enough!

We’ve just come to the end of a wonderful four night stay at Boskerris. It is a small family run hotel located five minutes’ walk up the hill from Carbis Bay, with magnificent views and terrific wide sandy beaches a few minutes away. Our superior sea view room, whilst not being huge, was very well appointed and had all the features I value in a hotel room - comfortable king size bed with luxury bedding, large and well appointed bathroom, robes and slippers, plenty of storage and hanging space, sockets at counter height, tea and coffee making facilities etc. it was kept immaculately clean and every day freshly cooked biscuits were left for us. The breakfasts were superb and nothing seemed too much trouble for the chef. Which brings me on to the staff in general who, without exception, were all so completely charming and helpful. Finally, there is a little coastal train at the bottom of the hill that runs every half an hour into St Ives until fairly late in the evening and only takes three minutes. . Given that parking in St Ives is a nightmare we were so pleased to be staying at Carbis Bay with easy access to St Ives by train or walking, but away from the melée. I can’t recommend the hotel highly enough.
