“My recent exploration of the Old Ferry Boat revealed a property steeped in a quiet charm, nestled by the river in St. Ives. I found the team to be genuinely helpful, particularly the bar staff who made me feel quite welcome, and the beds offered a noticeable comfort. The food, especially breakfast, proved to be a real highlight, a welcome draw even beyond the pleasant garden setting.”
