My friends and I arrived in St Ives with nowhere to stay so went to the Information Centre to check if they could find us somewhere... they were extremely helpful and directed us to Channings. We found it easily as we were walking (car was parked in one of the car parks up on the hill at the time).

Couldnt believe our luck when we got there and were greeted by the very friendly owner. He wasnt sure we would like the room because other people had turned it down but it was exactly what we needed... we were 3 girls and needed a triple. It was extremely comfortable and we were disappointed that we could only stay one night. Would have liked to stay for the whole weekend but we arrived on the final night of our break (having stayed in Newquay the previous night - what a mistake that was!) and we had to get back to London!

St Ives itself is fabulous, the hotel is a short walk from town.

We didnt have the breakfast as we slept in so cant comment on that.

The owners were very friendly and we had no problem with them.

Fantastic hotel in a Fantastic seaside town

We were given such bad directions to get there, when we arrived, after parking the car in their "car park"(??),only to find the room we booked was given to someone else. The reception wasn;t at all welcoming, in fact, we were made to think we were more of a nuisance than as paying guests. Everything about the place was old and tired, like the other guests we saw. Jennifer24 has got it spot on - I couldn't bear to stay there even for one night, so we left. the owners responded by saying, we'll have no problem re-letting the room, we have people who come back for the last 10 years. Good for them!!

My husband and I recently stayed at Channings Hotel in St Ives. We are regulars to the town but have never stayed at Channings before. What a treat! The bedroom was spotless (with a great view over that incredible bay) and the breakfast we enjoyed each morning could honestly be called a 'full English' - delicious!

Excellent value, we'll certainly be going again, when we next visit St Ives.

We have stayed in this Hotel many times, the owners are freindly and very helpful, the rooms are clean, some with stunning seaviews, all are ensuite and serviced daily.

The owner cooks full english breakfast with varying extras each day, and there is a choice of fresh fruit salads, yoghurts cereals and toasts..

Evening meals are available again with a good selection of salads, roasts, etc throughout the week, the hotel has a bar so that you can enjoy wine with your meals..

Parking is available, this hotel is a short walk from the town so we hardly used you car from arrival to deparure..

We have a small baby which was no problem at all, they provide a travel cot, high chairs and are happy to help with warming bottles etc..

A great base for your Cornish trips..
