The Old Quay House

Amazing room with gorgeous views, the old quay house is a friendly welcoming place to stay with great attention to detail in the property to make it a great experience for their guests. Food was delicious, good options on drinks, nothing was too much trouble. The old quay house also offered privacy if needed and a central location to visit other Cornish attractions, close to St Ives, Carbis bay and Lands end. Couldn’t find any faults with our trip. Excellent views across the estuary especially at high tide with the option to view the local wildlife. We were sad to have to return home and will visit again.

Booked and paid for seaview room and was very disappointed to find the water had dried up for quite sometime. The hotel picture and description needs updating. I would not have booked had I’d known.

Really enjoyable stay here. Fantastic location. Open the bedroom door to the sea 😃. Room very clean and comfortable. Note, breakfast not included but a great breakfast literally next door. Train station at St Erth or Lelant. Definitely take train into St Ives, amazing train ride.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious and the beds are so comfortable. The outside area is lovely which was perfect for the sunny weather. The facilities are also perfect. A short walk to Birdies Bistro for breakfast and the food and atmosphere is so lovely there as well. The staff are friendly in both places which made the experience so worth while. Definitely will be going there again in the near future.

We recently stayed in the location of the Old Quay House . We drove past this Venue and as it looked so nice from outside and the location we decided to book a table the same night . We booked through the open table app a table for 4 at 7.45 as we could not get a 8pm slot . On arrival we walked o to the venue to find a nice clean and same toy decorated bat and restaurant . We noticed a lot of tables had reserved on them so we thought the place was going to get busy as there was only 3 tables with diners on a table of 8 ,table of 2 and a single diner . We ordered our drinks and informed the bar staff we had a table of 4 booked for 7.45pm which they asked for my confirmation email as they could not find it but then they did and said it was for only 2 despite the confirmation actually saying 4 . The manager / waiter said it would not be a problem and showed us to our table . Every table in our area had reserved on it . The waiter passed our menus and rattled off 4 not available dishes out of a roughly possible 18 dishes . We ordered our dishes but our young daughter could not see anything she liked as at present she’s going through a heathy eating stage and does not like the nice tasty greasy foods . We all ordered and she decided she was ok and did not order anything . The waiter asked her a few times and she politely declined and he said if she changed her mind they could quickly prepare her something so it came shortly after ours . We all received our meals which were all ok and my daughter decided she would have some of the chunky chips as they did not look greasy . I went to order some chunky fries at 7.55pm and the staff came back out of the kitchen saying the chef at turned off the fryer . Surely the oil was still hot as they had only just brought our meal out and if they turned on the fryers surely it would not take long to get up to temperature . We heard the chef swearing to the staff so it seems he was not happy having a late order . Soon after he came out of kitchen into bar when we could hear him say he lived to live not live to work . The meals we ok but a bit pricey as all of our meals were the type he would have source from the likes of Bidfood and brakes where you just heat them up.This was food the chef did not need to be very experienced to do as I am a supplier to the catering trades so are well aware or this type of quick food . If the chef was to provide a better menu with more freshly prepared and cooked food this place I am sure would be a very busy place or if he’s not willing to do this they need to employ a new chef with a bit more passion. This place as hot the potential to be really great . I never write reviews but I had to share this very honest review as I was very disappointed with it . This place on a Saturday night should be heaving .

Excellent staff and location with good food. However, our Lodge had a leaking front door, mould all round the shower tray and grouting, a shower tray that filled with water when using and lumpy pillows.
