Fodor's Expert Review Primrose House

Porthminster Beach, St. Ives, Cornwall, TR26 2ED, England

Blending the elegance of an Edwardian villa with clean-lined modern style, this friendly hotel close to Porthminster Beach has the best of both worlds. Guest rooms are bright and contemporary, and the spacious common areas include a large lounge that opens onto a veranda. Sea-facing rooms with balconies cost more. The beach is just steps away, and a pretty footpath connects the hotel with the center of town.

PROS

  • close to beach and train and bus stations
  • excellent breakfasts
  • fresh, modern decor

CONS

  • some rooms are small and lack views
  • steep and narrow car access
  • stairs to climb for some rooms
