Lifeboat Inn

Discover the magic of St Ives at this traditional harbourside pub that sits right at the heart of everything that makes the town so celebrated. Whether it’s the comfort of a roaring log fire during the cold winter months or the warmth of sun-baked sand on a hot summer’s day, the Lifeboat Inn serves as the perfect bolthole for it all, come rain or shine.

Tuck into a menu that champions hearty pub classics and enticing specials, all crafted from the freshest seasonal ingredients. A tasty range of children’s dishes ensures little ones are replenished following an action-packed day on the beach. You can savor it all while gazing at the passing maritime activity and relishing one of St Austell Brewery’s award-winning beers.

St Ives has a wealth of things to see and do. Among the highlights are its many stretches of golden sands; from the surfer’s paradise of Porthmeor to the sheltered cove of Porthgwidden, a favourite with families. Further afield, popular destinations such as Penzance and the Minack Theatre lie within striking distance.

Treat yourself to a relaxing break at The Lifeboat in one of its five bedrooms. Each blends charming period features with a contemporary style, including two sea-facing double rooms that enjoy a cool coastal interior theme set to the backdrop of beautiful harbor views.

The Lifeboat also has two self-catering apartments for those seeking an additional slice of luxury.
