Boskerris Hotel

St Ives, Cornwall

Location
Boskerris is tucked down a side street off the main drag of Carbis Bay, just under 2 miles south-east of St Ives.

By Car:
St Ives is a long drive from the rest of the country, and in the busy summer months you'll need to allow extra journey time as the roads are much busier. If you want to hire a car, we recommend Holiday Autos.

By Train:
There is a branchline rain station at Carbis Bay (on the mainline from Paddington to Penzance, you change at St Erth for St Ives). See Seat 61 for more details.

By Air:
The nearest airport is Newquay (the 62 km/38-mile journey, is one-hour’s drive on a good day, but allow for heavy traffic in the summer months). It is 225 km (140 miles) from Exeter. The hotel can arrange a transfer (see rates) from Newquay airport or you can catch a taxi (approx £65).

Detailed directions will be provided when you book through i-escape.

Save to favouritesPrintMailBoskerris HotelIf you want a masterclass on how to run a chic, boutique hotel, this is the place to go. The owners Jonathan and Marianne Bassett were novices themselves when they planned their escape from London. But they stuck to familiar territory (Jonathan was born in the area); struck lucky when they found a tired hotel perched on a hillside just above Carbis Bay’s white-sand beach; and clearly knew what they were doing when they redesigned the place, and upgraded the service, for its relaunch in 2003. For the ground-floor salon they picked duck egg blue and Designers Guild silks, cream rugs on wood floors, deep damask sofas, piles of books, low-lighting and local art. The dining room has a fresh by-the-sea look with a hint of Provence and the 15 [r:UK031:bedrooms] are pale but interesting, jazzed up with lush fabrics and luxury bathrooms. Best of all, the wide, decked terrace has spectacular sea views – and the whole ensemble is infused with the light that inspired generations of Cornish artists.
