The Lifeboat Inn lies at the heart of everything that makes St Ives magical. This traditional inn, complete with roaring log fire, faces the town’s picture-postcard harbour and nestles aptly beside its famous lifeboat house. It’s the perfect spot for kicking back and savouring a delicious meal while marvelling at the passing maritime activity. Enjoy a menu that bursts with hearty pub classics and

specials, crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. The bar serves a range of St Austell Brewery’s award-winning beers, alongside West Country ciders, fine wines, classic cocktails, and barista coffees. The Lifeboat hosts five bedrooms and two self-catering apartments, each of which showcases charming period features with a contemporary style.
