We recently stayed at the Commercial Hotel during a short break in Cornwall. First Impressions were not too bad and the room we stayed in was very nice and extremely clean too. On the first evening we decided to eat at the Hotel, having been informed they have two areas for dining, a somewhat changing rooms style dining room at the front of the Hotel which we were told by the bar person was for hotel guests only, and that local drunks weren't allowed in, the other area sounded a little more pleasant, " if you prefer, you can also dine in the conservatory restaurant" ooh! that sounds great I thought, how wrong, It felt and looked like a B&Q garden centre, what a shame and myself being a Horticulturist could see instantly the incorrect selection plants. On a positive note, the food was good, although not sure about the chips? my steak was really nice, dessert lovely, although saying that, even if the food had of been of superb quality, it's still not the decor for dining within, no ambience or atmosphere, it just needs a little thought out interior design and the place could be an outright winner. The owner Paul was really nice and most helpful regarding local areas etc,in fact, he was responsible for all our amazing days out as he would recommend the best places each morning during breakfast which we both thoroughly enjoyed each day.
I would go again and stay, but would have find somewhere with a little character to dine.

My husband and I really enjoyed our 3 nights at The Commercial.
The owner and staff are very friendly, the premises very clean and welcoming. We arrived with a 5 month old baby and a dog and experienced no problems at all.
They offer a good breakfast and varied evening meal menu.
Room 9 was compact and bijou, but very cosy, clean, light and comfortable.

The new conservatory is fabulous; in fact, so much thought has gone into the overall interior design and guest comfort – a big hat’s off to the hard working, thoughtful owners.

If forced to find a negative, it would be that we wished that breakfast was 08.00 to 10.00 instead of 08.00 to 09.00, but hey-ho, it got us up and out early!!
St Just is a great base for walkers.
We will certainly be back...

We stayed at The Commercial for 3 nights and was pleased with the overall stay. Pleasant staff, clean rooms and cheeky pub banter. If unprepared to board above a pub atmosphere probably not for you ! All noise is silenced at about 11pm anyway.
Good evening menu with local produce and good price point. Excellent breakfast, lots of choice and accommodating to dietary needs.

If looking for a negative then possibly the Bathroom would be one. Tiny "bathroom" basically an ensuite built in a cupboard. However we didn't tend to spend our day in the room so the size of the Bathroom was irrelevant. However was spotlessly clean.

Unfortunately no private parking, however 200yrds max down the road is a free 24hr Car park, that is popular so car is amongst others.

During the summer, I walked a stretch of the Coast Path from St Ives to Meva and became acquainted with St Just and the Commercial on one evening, though on that occasion i stayed in a BnB just out of town. As part of a birthday weekend surprise for my partner, I thought St Just would make a great base to explore the area and plumped for The Commercial due in part to the comments on here (and the way each one was answered in detail) and its 4 star rating (but note - it is NOT a hotel). Prior to the visit, the proprietor arranged a bouquet for my partner in the room and, once it became clear that his dinner menu would not satisfy my partner's dietary needs, provided me with a list for other options in the area. In short, nothing was too much trouble.

On arrival, we were shown to our good sized room, light and airy at the top of the building, though the stairs too it were pretty steep (note if you've had a few ;-)). As commented elsewhere the wine was a nice touch and much welcomed after our journey. The staff were friendly and courteous - and our bed was comfy. Despite a large party taking place in the conservatory area, we had an undisturbed night.

The highlight of the stay had to be the breakfast. Served in the conservatory area, you could help yourself to fresh fruit, yoghurts and cereal before tucking into a very generous English breakfast (with veggie and carnivire options). Other options on the menu included salmon. Delicious. I stayed in several BnBs round the coast during the summer and this one is up there with the best of them and great value for money.
