This sea-facing hotel has excellent views of St Ives and boasts direct access to Porthminster Beach from the sheltered, heated outdoor pool and sun terraces. Pedn-Olva is set into the blue-black rocks of St Ives' harbour and bay. Since the 19th century it has been a navigational mark for ships. Each compact and comfortable room has a sea view. The hotel has a unique location; it seems to float on the sea without leaving dry land. There are many places to sit and enjoy the views with a drink from the stylish bar.
