Cornwall
 

Looking for suggestions of places to stay in or around St. Ives -- and places to avoid, the lay of the land, etc. Any help appreciated.

What is your budget and what sort of room(s) do you need?

Take a look at the Garrack, up on the hill above the shore.

HI
Maybe around $200/room -- L135. Twin beds, en-suite bath. Doesn't need to be fancy, but charming would be good.

Pedn Olva by Portminster beach looks good.
