There have been so many requests by people using my my search engine for information about local estate agents that I have added this list (which is more up to date than Yellow Pages!). All these firms have offices in St Ives itself.

Accomodation, including Bed & Breakfast

The main hotels in St Ives itself are The Dolphin, Slepe Hall, and Oliver's Lodge. More information about these will be found on my Recommended Eating Places page.

For information about bed & breakfast, camping sites, and other overnight accomodation, please contact the Tourist Information Centre at Huntingdon Library (tel 01480 388588). There is only one small b&b actually in St Ives, Forty Winks, but there is a good choice in attractive surrounding villages, such as Hemingford Grey, Hemingford Abbots, and Houghton.




I'd welcome comments on the service provided by any of the above, and would be pleased to add them to this page.
