Had a nice pint of Doombar, and the missuus had Pear Rattler, and a very good crab sarnie.The service was excellent!

This should be one of Cornwalls best pubs, amazing old building with enviable location and views. Let down by the service reflected in the comments below. My experience here is the later into the evening it gets the better the pub is and the nicer it becomes, sipping their reasonable ales towards closing time when the madding crowds have gone in the front bar looking towards the rugged sea is special.

nice pub with excellent views of st ives bay, lovely location, good pint of doom bar, but otherwise the ale selection is limited, dont let this put you off as the sloop is a nice pub but can be very crowded as it has the best view of any st ives pub. could do with some new local ales and ciders, but worth a visit as is the castle inn in st ives.

Called into the sloop sat 4th june before going to the beer fest and could not believe how rude the manager/licencee was,one of our group ordered a pint of speckled hen and asked it to be replaced because it was not in good condition,only to be told the classic theres nothing wrong with that,we do two barrells a day and if you don't like it just leave!!SHOCKING

Avoid the Immoral Sloop Inn, they lied to me to keep my money!

I booked to stay at the Sloop Inn St Ives, end of May bank holiday and because of unforeseen circumstances I had to cancel my stay but I gave them 2 weeks notice. Because I had given 2 weeks notice, I asked if I could possibly have my £80 deposit back and I was told that it is non refundable but because I had given them plenty of notice they would refund me if they could re-book the room.
Being that it was a busy bank holiday weekend in St Ives, I thought it was quite likely that they would be able to re-book the room quite easily.

After one week I called them back to check if they had managed to re-book the room and I was told no and that they would call me after the dates I had booked to let me know. I thought this sounded a little bit fishy because if they called me after the dates I booked, it would be easy for them to just fob me off with a lie and keep my money, so I asked them if they can call me as soon as they manage to re-book the room and they said they would.

A few days later I got a friend of mine to call the Sloop Inn to ask if there was any rooms available on the weekend and straight away without hesitation the woman on the phone said No, we have no available rooms at all, My friend then asked “Don’t you have any cancellations?” it was at this point that the woman on the phone realised she had been caught out and backed down and told my friend that they did in fact have a room available on the Sunday night! (How convenient!)

I was so upset that they had lied to me to keep my money that I decided to call them again 2 days later and I too asked if they had any rooms available on the weekend and instantly I was told No availability at all! I then reminded the woman who she was speaking to and she hung up the phone!! I called back right away and asked why I had been lied to she told me that she only had 2 rooms available on the Friday and Sunday and that she didn’t count Sunday as on the Weekend!!

I am so absolutely shocked by this morally wrong service that I would strongly not recommend, The Sloop Inn, St Ives to anyone.
