- Overview
- More Info
Welcome to The Old Vicarage, a charming and characterful guest house nestled within peaceful, wooded grounds in a quiet residential part of St Ives, Cornwall. This beautifully maintained historic building, once a Victorian rectory, offers a tranquil retreat just a short walk from the town centre and golden beaches.
With a proud 4 Star Guest House rating, The Old Vicarage combines the comfort and facilities of a small hotel with the personal touches of a family-run bed and breakfast. Whether you’re here for a relaxing break or a base to explore the beauty of West Cornwall, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay—from en suite rooms and internet access to a fully licensed Victorian-style bar and generous free parking.
Situated on the edge of town, near the famous Leach Pottery and the South West Coast Path, we’re ideally placed for discovering St Ives and venturing further afield to explore Land’s End, St Michael’s Mount, the Minack Theatre, and beyond—without the stress of navigating the narrow streets of the town centre.
The Old Vicarage is proud to have featured in the AA’s Britain’s Best Bed and Breakfast Guide, the Michelin Red Guide, and Elizabeth Gundrey’s Staying Off the Beaten Track. We’ve been offering quality accommodation at a fair price since 1970, recently undergoing significant refurbishment to ensure all rooms now feature modern en suite facilities while retaining the elegant charm of the original mid-19th century building.
