Terrible place. No, sauvignon and no pino. One very foul-mouthed woman who had a bell in every tooth..... place i wouldn't frequent unless they stock their fridges and change their clientele.....

A lovely place, nice decor inside with some lovely Xmas decorations. Food was good but the fish was a bit small. The drinks were lovely as well. Extra shout out to the barman though who was friendly and enthusiastic. We will visit again.

Beautiful little pub, delicious food and fantastic customer service. Regular food offers mean it doesn't cost a small fortune to eat out. We've held business meetings and celebratory meals here and will continue to do so. The St Ives has a real family, friendly and welcoming vibe.

Dog friendly and very relaxed. The staff were very welcoming, and friendly. There was a great atmosphere within the pub itself, we had a great couple of nights. We would recommend staying here, I can understand it is not everyone’s cup of tea due to the nightlife, but we had a great time. Our room was lean, the shower was amazing, great to ease those aches and pains. Clean and fresh towels and bedding. Although they had a couple of staff not turn in for work, it was not noticeable. We enjoyed our food on both nights and got a good nights sleep on both nights. Thank you for making us feel welcome. We would use again if ever in the area. X

Visited the St Ives for New Year 2024 (ticketed event at £15). Staff very friendly, an impressive hot & cold buffet, busy but not too crowded and live singer/dance floor. An enjoyable night to see in the New Year!

Myself and my 13 year old sister had a fabulous night's stay here. We just wanted a base to stay with our dog before we did the 4 Falls Trail the next day. We paid £65 for the room, we got a double and a single, tea, coffee etc and TV, in my opinion it was fantastic value for money! The service was great, the pub itself was rammed due to the rugby and although loud it didn't bother us one bit. The lady who showed us to our room was brilliant, she even walked down the road to show us where we could park overnight for free. It was a perfect stay for us and we will certainly be returning when we come back to Wales for more adventures. Thank you The Ives!
