The Situation
Superior comfort and a warm welcome awaits you at the Countryman Hotel, set in two acres of landscaped gardens with a trout stream, pond and paddock but just a five minute drive to the quaint town of St Ives. Although dating from the 17th century, today this small hotel has been renovated to meet the needs of the modern visitor, all rooms have en suite shower and toilet, television and tea making facilities. The atmosphere of the hotel is friendly and inviting, the emphasis being on cheerful service and good value for money. This is a totally no smoking hotel. The patron/chef Howard Massey likes cooking to order from his varied and interesting menu containing Cornish fish supported by a sensibly priced wine-list. St Ives has always had a tradition for generous hospitality. A former mayor, the legendary John Knill, bequeathed £10 for an annual banquet. Prices may have altered a little but high quality of the local cooking has not changed.
