Right in the heart of St Ives lies The Old Workshop, in a listed building that used to be a plumbing workshop. It has been in the same family for 5 generations and has been sustainably converted into two spacious rooms on separate floors, King Room downstairs and Deluxe King Room upstairs, showing old plumbing graffiti and the original beams (upstairs), granite walls & original sash windows, as well as a Juliet balcony in the Deluxe King Room. Here you have everything St Ives has to offer right on your doorstep. Cafés & restaurants around the corner plus the harbour & beaches only a stone's throw away. Please note that due to regulations for this listed building, there are no cooking facilities available with these rooms. However, there is a kettle and a small fridge in each room.

I am originally from Sweden, but moved to St Ives when I met David, my late husband, in 2005. After working abroad for a while, and having two children, we ran an award-winning restaurant below The Old Workshop for 10 years. We then started converting what was David's dad's plumbing workshop into two rooms. Unfortunately David was diagnosed with a brain tumour in the middle of the conversion, and sadly passed away in August 2021. I have tried to finish the rooms in the same spirit as David started them, and managed to open them in April 2022. I hope you will enjoy your stay at The Old Workshop!

The Old Workshop is situated next to Trewyn Gardens, and just around the corner from the hustle and bustle of pedestrian Fore Street. Down the road is the harbour with all its cafés and restaurants, and all the beaches in St Ives can be reached by foot. Just below the rooms is a retro shop and there are some lovely little shops, cafés and a hairdresser surrounding the rooms. Please be aware that being in the town centre in a listed building with original single glaze windows, some noise from outside is to be expected.
