Groups

If you are an educational group please visit our Educational Trips website.

St Ives is an ideal group destination as there are a huge variety of activities on offer along with shops, cafes and beaches all within a few minutes walk of each other and Cohort. It’s a compact, safe and secure option for youth groups through to faith based groups, through to university societies and we are perfectly located for walking groups and cyclists.

Our accommodation is ideal for any sized group and we are happy to help you plan your itinerary and organise your food.
