Hotel Review
Boskerris Hotel, St Ives, Cornwall
Experience a chic Cornish bolthole with echoes of the Mediterranean - once you've settled into this dreamy coastal retreat, you could be forgiven for thinking you've been transported overseas. Set within leafy grounds on the edge of St Ives, Boskerris is a thoughtfully renovated 1930s hotel which makes the most of its clifftop setting, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing amazing views across St Ives Bay and to Godrevy lighthouse. The striking decked terrace has stunning ocean views too, with the promise of Carbis Bay below. This is an idyllic setting to unwind and enjoy Mediterranean-inspired cuisine on the South coast of Cornwall.

Style & Character
Geared towards the summer months, Boskerris is suited to those looking to bring a hint of the Mediterranean to their Cornish coastal break. The large and inviting open-plan lounge is a delight to settle down and relax in over a St Ives blood orange gin.

Taking in the views out on the terrace, before heading to George's Bar to sample a Cornish wine followed by a laidback meal, is an afternoon well spent.
