This review is about the rooms. A perfect base in St Ives with an unforgettable host. Host St Ives was the ideal base for exploring this stunning part of Cornwall. Rassie is an exceptional host—helpful, genuinely friendly, and full of great local tips. His warm South African accent alone could brighten your day, and honestly, I’d happily grab a pint with him anytime. He even inspired us to go for a sunrise swim in the sea—an unforgettable experience! The accommodation itself is beautifully designed, with thoughtful details in every corner. The interior is stylish, the lighting can be adjusted with different ambient scenes, and even the shower gel smells like gorse—the iconic yellow flowers you see everywhere around here. As tempting as it is to just relax in the room, be sure to get out and explore. There’s so much to do in and around St Ives: hike to Zennor or even Gurnard’s Head, take a boat trip, visit beaches, explore the chapel, discover great restaurants, check out 3 Mile Beach, or catch a film in the small cinema just around the corner. Highly recommended—we’ll be back!

Visited Host about a month ago…early evening, five of us. Excellent pizzas and very tasty side chips. My pizza contained béchamel sauce and truffle which I wasn’t sure about to start with but it was fabulous! Front of house staff ( young girl and guy ) were very attentive and knowledgeable. Lovely meal, will return 😁

What a find! A fantastic place to sit and relax with a drink. Hosts were friendly and made you feel very welcome. We had a Sunday roast and was by far the best we'd ever had! Will definitely recommend this gem of a place to any friends or family visiting St Ives.

Fantastic customer service, very accommodating. Partner is lactose intolerant and was able to have dairy free cheese. Pizza lovers run don’t walk. Food was delicious. Rosemary fries were super tasty. We will return.

I didn't realise that this is a hotel? My partner and I had a couple of the best pizzas we have ever had! Who would have known? Truly enjoyed the impeccable service. The only is that it felt a little tight as it was crowded and seats were too close to each other and little room on the table. Otherwise it was a fantastic place for cocktails and chill outs.

Fabulous stay, incredible decor with rolltop bath and an amazing shower. Breakfast of yoghurt, granola and pastries was perfect. We'd love to come back, especially as it comes with parking. Slight communication hiccup on checking out with the cleaner but otherwise such an amazing place to stay

Stayed here, got lucky with having fabulous weather, but the rooms are awesome, coupled with great service made for a great stay. Only ate there once, which was good, but had drinks there before going out every evening. Made for a very memorable trip/holiday, great beaches, loved sitting out watching the tide go out and in overlooking the harbour 👍👍. Really great location in my opinion, couldn’t really fault it, and definitely somewhere we’d definitely go and stay there again!!

Just went for cocktails. Great service and atmosphere. Cocktails were nothing special though, even with happy hour.

Started off well. Food was good, but we were just forgotten about after the main course, even though tables next to us were being asked if everything was okay. Such a shame, we were looking to get desserts and more drinks.

Food was a little too salty. Think it should be reigned in and allow us to add salt as required. Apart from that all was good.

Absolutely phenomenal! My partner is Italian, so can be hard to impress when it comes to pizza, but we loved the food so much we agreed we would happily do the 2 hour drive again just to eat at Host. The ambience was lovely, the staff so friendly and helpful, couldn’t have chosen better!

The Host is a place that never fails to impress, whether I’m visiting with my partner, friends, or family. The team strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making every visit feel special. Their top-quality cocktails are crafted to perfection and the pizzas are simply amazing and full of flavor. Ontop of this they manage to fit in one of the best roasts around every Sunday! The modern yet cozy city-style vibe of The Host creates an atmosphere that feels like you’ve been transported to a chic destination and even offer live music to enjoy. A huge thank you to the incredible team at The Host for consistently delivering such memorable experiences. Here’s to many more wonderful evenings spent there!

Made a reservation of a small party of 9 following a wedding, they cancelled last minute (at xmas time so we struggled to find any other reservation) Unreliable and just disappointing Looks lovely but looks aren’t everything

Host is just the best place to come for food, drinks, fancy or chilled… I just love it. We have just had a really good pizza. Rassie the owner from the start remembered that I liked red wine and would always come and tell me what he had that suited my palate and I can’t recommend this place enough! If you want pizza, live music and really good wine you have found your place. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

As we were just singing at this venue as part of the St. Ives Shanty Fest, Quay Notes get a glimpse of the "other side" of venues. Place was pretty much rammed with smiling faces eating and drinking good quality food and served by efficient and cheery staff. Obviously the owners understand the challenges of the times. Their positive manner to the customers and us as entertainmers is at the top of the league. Well done and look forward to returning as a punter next time. Good Luck. Host.

A delightful stay in one of two carefully curated rooms. The location is perfect, plus there's parking and a lovely bar & restaurant downstairs.

We visited on our first night in St Ives this year, the Pizzas were amazing, the pizza dough/crust is really special. It was really busy when we went so quite loud and we did wait nearly an hour for 4 Pizzas. We didn't mind too much as we were not in a rush and like I said the Pizzas were fantastic so worth the wait maybe? We walked past another night and they had live music. Staff were nice.

We came for dinner and drinks as we were staying nearby in St Ives, my partner up until recently is not a lover of seafood, however he wanted to push the boat out and he was so glad he did! He said it was one of the best meals he has ever had! I equally enjoyed mine to the fullest and the wine we had was also the nicest we have had in a while! We had everything seafood on the menu and it was incredible. The service was also excellent, even though they were short staffed. Would come again.

We had a fab meal and cocktails 🍹 the location was lovely and comfortable but also we were very well looked after by all the whole team. Service was 100% spot on and the best pizza I think I have ever had (carbonara with truffle 🤩)

Had a great meal here last night. In a party of nine we had one vegetarian, one vegetarian plus gluten free, and one small person (under three years old). All were catered for without problem and the food and drinks were great - one person said it was the second-best pizza he'd ever eaten. We weren't rushed but at the same time the service was prompt. If we return to St Ives, we'll definitely be coming here again.

Was disappointed to receive an email a day before our booking to say the Sunday roasts were off until September, but they did offer the option to cancel for free. They offered instead to extend the offer for a pizza + pint for £15, but upon arrival said this offer only extended to 6.30pm (there was no mention of this on the email, if so we probably would have cancelled). The pizza was average in my view - I tried the vegetarian carbonara pizza and tasted pretty bland. Overall an OK experience but quite an expensive option for just pizza!

Great little restaurant with super food , cocktails and service . The one watch out is they allow dogs to sit with their owners at ( vs under) the tables - very unhygienic and off putting to other guests

Booked a table for 7pm tonight, when arrived was seated and then after around 3/4 mins of deciding what to eat the manager came to the table and moved us to the bar where he offered us free drinks while we were at the bar however was very disappointing as we watch another group take our place by pushing two tables of two together to make a table of 4 took a further 20/25 mins to be given a table and but not given the chance to order any food or drink. Asked tables around us if they had managed to order any food and how much of a wait it was but seemed like the manager didn’t mind us not being given any attention by the servers so ended up leaving having not received any food. Service needs improvement but the bartender was very attentive and caring towards the customers. Manager seemed to care more for the money than the customer satisfaction.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Queen’s Head in St Stephen, Cornwall, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was. The roast dinner was an absolute standout—perfectly cooked meat, tender and flavorful, paired with golden, crispy roast potatoes that were some of the best I’ve ever had. The homemade Yorkshire puddings were a delight, light and fluffy, and the generous helping of rich gravy tied it all together beautifully. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the food here, making it a proper Sunday treat. The atmosphere in the pub is just as impressive. It’s a charming, cozy spot with a warm, welcoming vibe—think crackling woodburners, friendly chatter from locals, and that quintessential Cornish village charm. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re a regular or just passing through. The beer garden and play area out back are lovely touches too, perfect for a sunny day. The staff truly elevate the whole experience. They’re incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles and made to feel like valued guests. Service was spot-on—quick without feeling rushed—and they were happy to chat and offer recommendations. All in all, The Queen’s Head is a gem. The roast dinner alone is worth the visit, but the fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff make it a place I’ll be eager to return to. Highly recommend!
