The Gannet Inn

One thing is absolutely certain I’ll be back!!!

Pros: On my previous visit, I happened to remark almost in passing upon the absence of USB plug sockets, and also suggested that a small mirror might be most useful, with one side offering gentle magnification and the other remaining true and normal. I was therefore quite delighted, upon my return, to find that these very details had been thoughtfully addressed and installed, precisely as mentioned. It is a rare pleasure to feel so genuinely heard. What charmed me just as much, if not more, was the small sign placed outside to reserve a space especially for me. Such a gesture may seem modest, but it speaks volumes. It is considerate, personal, and deeply attractive in its attention to detail exactly the sort of quiet thoughtfulness that distinguishes the merely good from the truly exceptional. One leaves with the distinct impression not simply of being accommodated, but of being valued.

Cons: There is, quite frankly, nothing about this property that I find myself disliking. If I were pressed to offer the faintest suggestion for the future, it would be the possible addition of a steam room within the spa, and perhaps the inclusion of dressing tables in every room pieces that double rather splendidly as desks, and which a few rooms were without. Beyond such trifles, I can find little cause for complaint. It has been a thoroughly excellent day, and truth be told, that very absence of grievances is precisely why I continue to return.

Pros: Exceptional food and excellent attention from the helpful staff.

Pros: The room had a lovely view and was very clean and tidy.

Cons: Walls/ doors have insufficient sound proofing as we could very clearly hear someone else on the floor snoring quite loudly.

Pros: Enjoyed our stay staff were very knowledgeable and very nice nothing was too much trouble.

Cons: No lifts and no fridge in bedroom had to ask for milk each day but that was no bother really.

Very nice boutique style accommodation.

Pros: Comfy room. Excellent food & service in the restaurant.

Cons: Some stairs to navigate with luggage.

Enjoyed every minute. A lovely venue to stay at.

Pros: The staff are friendly, enthusiastic & willing to help. They were a pleasure to interact with during our stay.

Cons: Although the prepared breakfasts were fine, attention could be focused to provide on a self service side table an array of cheeses, fruit and cereal. This would give visitors more choice & variety.

Lovely hotel, would recommend

Pros: Spacious room, welcoming and attentive staff, use of the Carbis bay spa, very tasty breakfasts

A truly wonderful, cosy stay by the beach with delicious food and the warmest of staff.

Pros: The food at the Gannet was excellent. The breakfast included is fantastic with so many options and something delicious to try everyday - great value for money. The inn itself is really pretty inside and furnished wonderfully. Super comfy beds and pillows, and lovely little biscuits in the room alongside a variety of tea’s. The staff were so warm and helpful. Sitting in the bar area at night was really cosy, with delicious cocktails and a range of board games. And having daily free access to the CBay spa is a MASSIVE addition. Absolutely don’t miss out on that! We already intend to stay here again, and again… It was the perfect cosy stay by the beach with a partner.

Cons: Our room was a little on the small side, particularly the floor space around the bed and bathroom. The bathroom/shower doors hit each other and the sink if not opened/manoeuvred very carefully and there’s only room for 1 person to be moving around the space at a time. The room was quite hot, but they did provide a fan (a little on the loud side but we had ear plugs!). However, for a couple like us, this was still absolutely fine and didn’t detract from the stay - we would potentially just upgrade in future!

Cosy stay in a good location.

Pros: The food was excellent, beds very comfortable and the staff friendly and attentive. We also liked being outside of St Ives but with several quick and easy options to get there.

Cons: No negatives that I can think of.

Loved it. Wish we'd stayed for 2 nights, not just one.

Pros: Great breakfast. Lovely room with sea view. Delighted we could use the spa at their sister hotel in Carbis Bay. Would definitely recommend and would go back for sure. Would love to use the terrace and have a drink outside but the weather wasn't in our favour this time!

Cons: Everything was great apart from the early morning fire evacuation but that couldn't be helped and the staff were very apologetic! We just went for an early breakfast and they were very accommodating.
