The Porthminster Hotel St Ives Cornwall
Welcome to The Porthminster Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall. For short breaks, summer holidays, weddings or business events we offer the best experiences in West Cornwall. Our inspirational breaks are tailored to meet your perfect holiday requirements.
Locations don't get much better than this. The Porthminster Hotel is nestled in sub-tropical gardens on the coast of St.Ives in West Cornwall. Perched directly above the beach, and overlooking the clear waters of St Ives Bay and the famous Godrevy Lighthouse (immortalised by novelist Virginia Woolf), the views from our hotel are amongst the best you'll find anywhere in Cornwall.
The Porthminster Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall provides the perfect base from which to explore the delights of St Ives - one of Cornwall's oldest and best-known holiday towns - as well as the spectacular scenery and coastline surrounding it.
With its unspoilt fishing harbour and maze of traditional white cottages, magnificent golden beaches and famously clear light, St Ives has inspired generations of artists, writers and poets for over a century. Warmed by the nearby Gulf Stream, this region's climate is the mildest in the UK, making it ideal for breaks both in and out of season. Often likened to a Mediterranean fishing village, sub-tropical plants and towering palm trees flourish here, and in summer the streets are swathed in colour as the town's flower displays burst into bloom.
As our guest you'll have direct access to Porthminster beach - the award-winning half-mile crescent of perfect, powder-fine sand that is, quite literally, on our doorstep.
And whether you're taking a leisurely stroll along the coast on a mellow autumn day, lazing on the beach at the height of the summer or exploring the galleries that line the ancient streets of the town, it won't be long before you fall under the spell of St Ives.
