Boutique hotel with individually themed rooms and Rosette-winning dining
Individually Themed Guest Rooms
Guest rooms at The Gannet Inn are individually decorated with distinct themes and local decor, a characteristic not common in typical hotels. Each room provides a TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, and an en-suite bathroom with luxury toiletries. Most rooms offer sea or garden views, and free private parking is available on site.
Rosette-Winning Restaurant and Bar
The on-site restaurant is led by a Rosette-winning chef who uses local ingredients in the menu. The breakfast menu includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, along with kids' meals. The bar offers a pub-like dining experience with a casual atmosphere and quality cuisine.
Games Room, Live Sports, and Outdoor Spaces
On-site entertainment includes a dedicated games room with darts, billiards, and live sports on Sky Sports channels. The hotel provides a shaded terrace in the garden and a shared lounge area. West Cornwall Golf Club is located 1 mile from the hotel.
On-Site Spa and Pool Facilities
Spa services on the premises include massages, facial treatments, body wraps, and beauty treatments for guests. The hotel also provides a pool, sun terrace, and sun loungers for guest use. Access to the C Bay Spa at the sister Carbis Bay Hotel is available with selected packages.
Steps from the Beach and St Ives
The hotel is located 500 yards from the award-winning Carbis Bay Beach. St Ives town centre and the Tate St Ives gallery are a 1.5-mile walk or a short bus ride away. A bus route stops directly outside the hotel, and the coastal path provides direct access to scenic walking routes.
