The town is very picturesque, nice walks down by the river. There is a cycle path that runs all along the busway, from St Ives to Cambridge. This is flat, completely traffic-free and about 15 miles each way.

We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives.
Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose).
We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.
Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.
The pub and the location was perfect for us , yes it's 45 mins walk into lovely St ives but that was a bonus for us as we always like a little walk when we stay away.
The pub itself is absolutely stunning.Looks like a painting alongside some stunning cottages and on the riverbank.
A special mention to the the staff , especially young ashleigh, she could not be more helpful and always polite and smiling ,thankyou so much .
Overall the perfect break , we will be back .
It was a wonderful apartment in a quiet location about half an hours walk from St Ives centre but close to a number of shops, bars and restaurants. It was very clean and tidy with 2 large bedrooms and a very large lounge/dining room. Not ideal for young children as there are are number of breakable items ie glass table. Great for adults though .
Lovely comfortable house. Home from home. Visiting for a weekend to see family. The house made a great base and was an easy walk into St Ives. Very comfy beds. Great shower. The property was very clean and had a nice garden to relax in. The house was well equipped. Ray is a fantastic host and was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
The restaurant was well-appointed, with a relaxing atmosphere and the staff outstanding. The food was very good and satisfying. The rooms and hallways were very clean. Also, it had everything we needed: hairdryer, tea kettle and supplies, bathroom amenities like shampoo, body wash, conditioner.
I received a very friendly welcome from the Receptionist, and all the staff were very friendly.
The bed linen was immaculate and the room spotless.
The breakfast was very good, and delivered promptly.
Would particularly like to commend Elaina, who is a real asset to the hotel.
Was welcomed in reception by a very friendly lady who dealt with the booking-in whilst telling us all about the hotel and St Ives and its eateries.
The spacious double room was extremely comfortable.
The bathroom had a bath!
Enjoyed a very full English breakfast. Mmmmmm!
Beautiful!! Love the history, loved the country location!! it is close to Cambridge, but didn’t have time to go there, so will have to come stay again! There were plenty of places to go for beautiful walks. 😍
Staff was Great and food was good! Cheers!🍺
Fabulous staff, very clean and welcoming hotel, huge rooms good food and drinks, did I mention fabulous staff? Nice touch is the "doggy brew" canister just inside the main door for our four legged friends to refresh themselves.
Great location for the town and access to river walks. Nice spacious kitchen with big table for family meals. Well equipped kitchen. Bedroom and bathroom accommodation good. Helpful host answered queries promptly.
great location and close to family whom we were visiting, St Ives is a lovely town with many practical features. Host very helpful and house well equiped ,would have no reservations about staying there again
Really relaxed environment, lovely staff and beautifully styled rooms. We stayed in a superior room, coffee machine was good and easy walking distance to St Ives bridge and town. Free parking at the hotel.
Charlie on reception was super helpful and friendly, full of local knowledge and great advice. Hotel under refurbishment when I visited so can't wait to go back when it is finished as it was really good.
Great value and excellent location for access to St Ives. If travelling by car, the availability of Hotel car park is a big bonus since parking elsewhere in St Ives can be awkward and expensive.
Very well appointed and immediate impression was of high quality accommodation.
Further exploration revealed a few pointers for improvement for 'luxury accommodation '
The apartment was incredibly clean and much more spacious than it appeared in the photographs and it was fantastically located for all the amenities in St Ives.
Big Slepe was ideal to visit family. Everything you need for your stay.very clean 15/10.well worth the money. 100%Better than hotels we have stayed in .
Great location for the jazz and blues festival weekend. This hotel is under new management and the new funky decor gives it a fresh , contemporary look.
