My single room was beautifully decorated, had a comfortable bed and it had a good choice of tea/coffee provided. Breakfast was a lovely full English (no option) and quite late (9-10am) because of the bank holiday weekend.
Although there was a wedding on at the hotel on the first evening, I was given a room well away from the noise.

Room was very tidy and an additional towel was provided on request. Asked for lower floor because my wife was disabled and was changed without any problem.
Bed very comfortable.

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. 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.
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.
Lovely comfortable house. Home from home. Visiting for a weekend to see family. The house made a great base and was an easy walk into St Ives. Very comfy beds. Great shower. The property was very clean and had a nice garden to relax in. The house was well equipped. Ray is a fantastic host and was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
Overall an excellent inn, we really enjoyed it in fact so much so we had come back to it after trying to stay at another hotel The only downside of the entire place is there is no lift to the second floor so to get your heavier luggage you do have to get it up the steps. But they are also happy to help you take it upstairs.
Great place to stay tranquill and very peaceful yet a busy pub with great views of the river 20 foot away and great atmosphere.Have a beer and watch the boats go by.
big thankyou to Claire and here staff and Chris congrats to the chef great food try the brownie you wont be dissapointed
Excellent location in the centre of St Ives, but in a quiet residential Court yard. The facilities were superb, with a very well proportioned kitchen and diner, a cosy lounge, comfortable beds and a lovley long bath. It is a very well heated house too, ideal for a mid winter stay.
Lovely location, love st ives. Little things let the room down. Also couldn't get my head round getting draft beer outside then having to go inside to pay. What happened to the old restaurant?? Also the bar is tiny now. Much prefered how it used to be. It just needed updating
Beautiful!! Love the history, loved the country location!! it is close to Cambridge, but didn’t have time to go there, so will have to come stay again! There were plenty of places to go for beautiful walks. 😍
Staff was Great and food was good! Cheers!🍺
Penthouse was very clean and well equipped, information sent by Simon to gain entry to the apartment was clear and precise.
Nice residential area, a bit to far for us to walk into St Ives (but we are getting on a bit)
Great location for the town and access to river walks. Nice spacious kitchen with big table for family meals. Well equipped kitchen. Bedroom and bathroom accommodation good. Helpful host answered queries promptly.
I stayed at Slepe Hotel as was working at a local festival for the weekend. Nothing was too much trouble for the extremely friendly staff and they were very accommodating about my late arrivals back each night.
Really relaxed environment, lovely staff and beautifully styled rooms. We stayed in a superior room, coffee machine was good and easy walking distance to St Ives bridge and town. Free parking at the hotel.
The pub itself is very old and quaint. The location is right on the lake and very pretty. Good size car park. Not too far from St Ives. The owner was friendly and helpful. The shower was nice and hot.
Great value and excellent location for access to St Ives. If travelling by car, the availability of Hotel car park is a big bonus since parking elsewhere in St Ives can be awkward and expensive.
I stay in St Ives typically once per month (if not more) due to work (in normal non-covid times). This has become my first choice, excellent value for money, friendly staff and comfortable beds.
Very well appointed and immediate impression was of high quality accommodation.
Further exploration revealed a few pointers for improvement for 'luxury accommodation '
Big Slepe was ideal to visit family. Everything you need for your stay.very clean 15/10.well worth the money. 100%Better than hotels we have stayed in .
