Fantastic hotel - rooms a little small
Pros:

Beautiful location - excellent food - lovely staff

Cons:

Bedrooms were a little bijou - alright for a couple of nights but no decent drawers to pack away clothes - the shelf in the bathroom was directly above the sink so made washing / teeth cleaning a bit of an issue

Paradis à St Ives
Pros:

La chambre était magnifique ! C'est l'une des plus belle vue de ma vie. Cela vaut vraiment la peine de séjourner dans cet établissement, c'est juste magique. C'est un lieu hors du temps qui ne ressemble à nulle part ailleurs. La plage juste en bas est superbe. Le restaurant est très bon. Le personnel est agréable. Machine à café en chambre, petit déjeuner exceptionnel. A noter que très proche du train, donc super accessible. J'aurais adoré y rester encore, c'était paradisiaque !

Cons:

L'isolation phonique des couloirs (beaucoup de craquements) et de l'ouverture/fermeture des portes, impossible de faire doucement. Un peu trop de monde à mon goût mais c'est un lieu hautement touristique et c'est un plaisir de vivre le calme le matin tôt.
