Now in their 2nd year, the Manager Jamie and his wife Jen, have made some improvements: there's a very pleasant wooden deck outside with chairs and tables, looking onto the pool. Rooms now have TV. There is also the possibility to attend a performance at the Minack Theatre, built out of the cliff and looking over the sea. Organised by... More

We went on an HF Holiday to the Chy Morvah house in St Ives. The views were extraordinary, the guided walks excellent, and the food was suburb. If you want to be treated like reality, taking an all inclusive HF Holiday is the way to go . This is our third HF Holiday, ST Ives does have great coastal walks... More

I've stayed at several other HF properties and whether the regime here are responsible for my disappointment or whether HF is changing, I'm not sure. Certainly a lot more skimping is, in my opinion, evident particularly on meals and their portions, bar measures (especially who is pouring) and complimentary bathroom sundries (one sachet of shampoo/week). Eating is as usual on... More

We struggled to find this hotel despite visiting St Ives before. The signage (or lack of it) needs some attention. The room was quite small, and the bathroom was not particularly clean or well kept. I left a towel on the floor (I had got some dirty sand on it and it would not come off) but it was not... More

If you book through a hotel booking site, you should know that nearly all your fellow guests will be staying there to go out on guided walks. The atmosphere is informal, and you are expected to join other people in the dining room. And don't be surprised if one of the walking leaders tries to get you into a walking... More

Once again we enjoyed a terrific walking HF holiday. This time we stayed at the Chy Morvah house in St Ives Cornwall. The hotel is typical for HF and is oriented towards social integration of all who stay for the week. The Chy Morvah is not as nice as the Whitby house as the rooms are smaller and not as... More

Had a good time on the surf and walk holiday (total of two weeks, out of eight in recent years). The walking and the sociability are the main attractions. Not for those not willing to share tables at meal times. I cannot fault the hotel or the holiday. More
