Pedn Olva, St Ives in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Fantastic place great landlord and staff were really pleasant and very helpful wonderful chef and good food

We booked the New Years Eve fixed meal at £90 per head. The room was empty except for the diners which were seated along the windows. As it was dark outside on one side with nothing to see and empty on the other there was absolutely no ambiance. We were last to be seated and ended up next to a draughty fire door used frequently by smokers going in and out as well as the kitchen door. We felt completely rushed through the courses and had finished our meal in just over an hour, by which time we were the only ones left. A thoroughly disappointing experience. The pre ordered food was mediocre.

We stopped for coffee and Tiffin on our way to the station. Dog friendly with a doggy treat bar. Great views even in the rain.

Best roast dinner! Lovely meal,service and atmosphere 😍

What a wonderful place to stay, from the moment we arrived to a warm welcoming reception the staff could not have done anymore to make you feel both valued and welcomed. Reception, bar, restaurant all so very helpful, thank you for making the stay so fantastic. We had dinner on the first night as part of our exceptionallly well priced winter break, great food, cooked and served which made for a lovely evening. Breakfast was extremely good and again the staff could not be more welcoming and helpful, thank you. The views are stunning, go for a seview room its a no brainer in terms of value for money and such an amazing way to start the day with a cup of tea on the balcony looking at the waters surrounding St Ives. Thank you for a wonderful mid week break to all at the Pedn Olva ..... we will without any doubt see you again.

Great Sunday lunch, with a superb view 👍🏻

Didn't stay at the hotel but had 3 meals here over our week stay in St Ives. Food was very good, staff was friendly and helpful and the place is also dog friendly. Nice views if you sit by the windows as well.

Wonderful location, great service food looked great. I will definitely need to try it next time

Didn't stay at the hotel, we went for lunch. We had a table over looking the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious

The food & restaurant service was great! The views were amazing. The only downside was the rude woman cleaning the men’s toilets after lunch on Friday 13th September.

Luke at the front desk was so accommodating! Called from the US to ask SO many favors as my fiance was checking in later and having a rough go. Luke went out of his way to get flowers, fruit, chocolates I delivered to room and as a concierge helped me navigate local massages and such to make his guest spoiled. Truly above and beyond and I am so very grateful!

Great food well worth a visit and friendly staff, food very good, make sure you book a table

Had a wonderful meal here last night the steak was cooked perfect and tasted devine and omg the sticky toffee pudding was amazing the views here are amazing and the staff are excellent very friendly Would definitely recommend here and will definitely go again

We had food and drinks here. Its dog friendly inside too. The food and views were incredible and we will definitely be back!

Can't say much as only had a drink but balcony view was great

On this occasion, we just called in for a drink and sat on the terrace overlooking Porthminster beach, it's always somewhere we call in at least 4/5 times during our annual St.Ives holiday. It's always clean, staff are welcoming and friendly and it's dog friendly too 👍 .

Perfect location amazing views and lovely relaxed atmosphere

Only popped in for a last drink before the train home. Lovely barman, polite and jolly. The view is stunning. st Ives always beautiful but pleased we found this place. Would definitely recommend a visit.

It was a beautiful view from my room. And I like service. Sue in the reception did so good service, she was very attentive 👌

It's a great location, but dinner tonight was very poor. The place looked quite tired, all old furniture, faded interior, yet still quite pricey. Children had pasta that was OK, but menu items missing so had fish and chips for £20 that would have been far better on the wharf. Couldn't wait to leave. Could be a great place if it went up market and did things properly, but felt like wetherspoons by the sea, but expensive.

We went for a meal on a Sunday evening. We arrived early and enjoyed our first drink with the amazing views from the deck. When we came to order, we found the menu was very limited, and the only fish on the menu was sold out for by our booking at 7.15pm. Check the Sunday menu before booking - we didn't, unfortunately. The children's menu was also sold out to the extent it only contained 2 hot dishes. Our meals didn't arrive until 8.15pm, an hour after our booking. We had the crab, and it came with an extremely hard and dried out single slice of bread (this was replaced with a softer slice after complaining). The beef on the roast was good, however. The cauliflower cheese was very undercooked. Based on our experience, I would definitely avoid eating here on a Sunday and would research before booking on other days.

Location is tops but the menu is expensive. The view of course is stunning

This is one of the most magical places I have ever visited. Our room has some of the most beautiful scenic views I have ever seen! The staff was very warm and welcoming. It's a mere 5 minute walk from the trains station and another 10 minutes walk to the city center. A perfect place for our honeymoon! The food and the beer served at their restaurant is second to none! Breakfast, lunch, or dinner is perfect! Will definitely come back here! Thank you Pedn Olva, St Ives! Definitely recommended to all travellers!! 🫶💙

Our favourite spot for a drink in St Ives. Nice location just outside the chaos and crowding of pubs on the front. But with views to beat them all. The bar has a stunning panoramic window with seats overlooking the ocean. Photo is taken from this window. The service here is also head and shoulders above anywhere else in St Ives. The older gentleman who tends the bar (apologies I do now know his name) is an absolute gem. We’ve not tried the food yet but will do next time. We’d also like to stay here at some point soon.

Restaurant in lovely place, great views, but service and food disappointing. Our table wasn't cleaned after we sat down, plates not collected after eating.

Lovely place with the most stunning views.

Great pint. Stunning views of St Ives. Friendly staff.

Just went in for a relaxing drink on the terrace, staff very friendly and helpful, loved the vibe their , and views are stunning, I think I would definitely stay their ..

Popped in for a few drinks after a walk with our dog, lovely place, amazing views and very dog friendly, ceramic dog bowls available alongside fresh water in a large glass dispenser, with dog blankets and also dog treats. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding facility and amazing staff. Each member of staff was helpful whether it was at the front desk, the bar or restaurant. And the views! To die for. Thank you Pedn-Olva!!

Awesome views, and great place! We had coffee and cake (£7) lovely place, highly recommended.

Lovely views, super hot chocolate and Victoria sponge cake.

We have just returned from St Ives after a nine night stay. We visit St Ives at least twice a year. We did not stay at the Pedn Olva this time but spent most of our time there eating and drinking like we always do. What a fabulous place in terms of location, food & drink. It’s got a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are first class in everything they do. Staff always go the extra mile to make your experience the best it can be. We had Sunday lunch there before leaving. The lamb was outstanding. We will see you real soon. Neil & Denise G.

We stayed in room 32, the room was cosy in size with a fairly compact shower. The sea views were incredible with the balcony area overlooking the rocks and beach. The restaurant and bar area are great, tasteful and welcoming. The food was excellent but the best part of the Pedn Olva are the staff. All were smiley and helpful, assisting with our bags, putting up with all our requests at breakfast for options that weren't on the menu etc. The level to which we were looked after went above and beyond what I would reasonably expect from a hotel, I would give 6 stars if I could.
