The Golden Lion Hotel, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, hotel in St. Ives

Set in the picturesque market town of St Ives, Cambridgeshire, The Golden Lion Hotel, St Ives, Cambridgeshire is a delightful 18th Century Coaching Inn steeped in charm and history.

Location is perfect. Right in the centre of town. Unfortunately there is no parking. Room was big and comfortable. There wasn’t a window except the skylight and I struggled to open the blind on this. The building is lovely, with nice furnishing. Staff were friendly. Breakfast wasn’t included so we paid for that but was one price for whatever you selected, £15, so you could have had a full English or just a sausage sandwich and it was the same price. I would definitely stay again.

Lots of useful information and clear instructions. Very clean and well presented. Everything I could have wanted was provided. Excellent location for my trip. The host was very helpful for a slightly early arrival.

    The town is very picturesque, nice walks down by the river. There is a cycle path that runs all along the busway, from St Ives to Cambridge. This is flat, completely traffic-free and about 15 miles each way.

    We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives. Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose). We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

    I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

    No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.

    Perfect location in St Ives with its own parking space. Very convenient to everything in St Ives and also to catch a bus to Cambridge. Tastefully decorated with 2 bathrooms and an extra toilet downstairs. Very quiet, comfortable beds (king size in main) both showers were good all rooms were spacious. I recommend this apartment to anyone for whatever reason they are visiting St Ives which is a lovely village with many eating facilities (booking recommended) and I also recommend you consider it if you are looking to visit Cambridge.

    Very well located for access to town with plenty of parking on site. It’s a quiet, small and friendly hotel with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. The only disappointment was the lack of cooked breakfast. We’ve stayed before and this has been good but sadly they are struggling to replace staff who’ve left but I would stress this is a national and hopefully temporary problem and the long serving staff have been working very hard to keep it going. Highly recommend for visiting St. Ives or a pit stop en route near Cambridge.

    The property location was ideal for walks around St Ives and a little high street retail therapy (Honey Boutique is awesome for ladies wear!) It was also close to the river and all the restaurants along the river. The free car parking was a necessary bonus. The apartment is spacious and airy. The facilities in the flat were all lovely and high quality. The coffee machine and capsules was a real hit with my sister. The milk and cookies were also a lovely touch. The owners were very helpful and accommodating throughout.
