St Ives Harbour Hotel & Spa

Above Porthminster, dogs on the terrace and in the bar

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A hotel on the hill above Porthminster Beach with a rooftop spa, a pool and a terrace looking across St Ives Bay towards Godrevy lighthouse. The dining room is the main event and dogs do not go in, but the bar and the terrace take them on a lead, which is where most people want to sit anyway. Dog rooms are a set allocation booked through reservations. It suits people who want St Ives without parking in it.

Why it's in the collection

Porthminster Beach is at the bottom of the hill and the coast path round to Carbis Bay starts beside it, but Porthminster closes to dogs from 10am to 6pm between 15 May and 30 September. Bamaluz Beach in the middle of town and Porthkidney Sands at Lelant have no restrictions at any time of year, and both are within about two miles.

Best suited for

Dogs in the bar and on the terrace, not the restaurant or other public areas.

The open question

Specific rooms take dogs and they are booked through the reservations team rather than online. Dogs are welcome on a lead on the terrace and in the bar, which is where the bay view is. The restaurant and the other public areas are kept for people, apart from assistance dogs. No other pets are accepted.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
