Imagine a hotel in which you are instantly swept into a state of blissful being. Where oceanic vistas form a beautiful backdrop and sunrise and sunset seem to linger a little longer than anywhere else. Stepping out onto the private terrace supping on champagne whilst surrounded by tropical palms and sublime seascapes on a balmy summer's night, you feel as though you could be anywhere in the world.
The Blue Hayes Private Hotel is perched on the hill rolling into St Ives, affording spectacular, almost-aerial views of the Bay stretching from the harbour and island to Godrevy lighthouse. The private landscaped gardens offer guests a green oasis of calm and beautiful surrounds. Ideal for reading, napping or simply lounging amongst with a glass of wine or afternoon tea.

On the last night we enjoyed the dinner platters again and, as a wonderful farewell, we both had lobster. It was presented beautifully, was delicious, and was a fitting finale to a wonderful stay. Whether you've found haven in the hotel all day and cannot bear to drag yourself away, or you're simply exhausted from a full day's outdoors exploration, a light evening supper menu is available at the hotel.

Absolutely amazing private hotel that gives you a warm welcome following a long journey, the staff are very attentive and the surroundings offer tranquility, peace and quiet as well as options to explore the coastline, the many attractions and resorts around this wonderful coastline . Picnic hampers are available as well as Cornish afternoon tea. An incredible breakfast is served fresh, (no food left on hot plates to serve yourself) plus an extensive cold supper menu which is difficult to choose from. Superb in every way!

Everything about this hotel is wonderful, plus a fantastic location. The welcome from Malcolm and his staff is excellent all so friendly, helpful, professional and with nothing being to much trouble for them. Breakfasts and suppers are absolutely superb, served in a beautiful dining room. It's extremely covid safe throughout in every detail.
Returning here is always an absolute pleasure.

We absolutely loved it here. Private, away from it all and backed up to Porthminster Beach. Its elegant surroundings and beautiful views are complemented by superb service. This is class, but definitely not pretention. There are only five suites here and we took the Master. It wasn't ridiculously large or furnished in royal ado, but was instead crisp, open. The French Doors opened to a private patio and harbourscape devoured our hectic senses.
The facility itself is rather modern despite the 1920s history, what with smart minimalist furnishings, bright splashes of colour, a lovely terrace
