Families

Cohort offers family friendly accommodation in the heart of St Ives. We are within easy walking distance of everything in St Ives from all 4 beaches to the SW Coast Path to St Ives Surf School and Tate. Nothing is more than a 10 minute walk away which means if you get to the beach and realise you’ve forgotten the towels it’s just not a big deal!

Safety at Cohort

Safety & Security

The front door is locked to the public at 9pm so between 9pm and 9am the only people with access to the building are guests. All bedrooms are lockable and at check-in you can ask for as many key cards as you need.

Reception is open 8am – 11pm and the hostel is managed by on-call staff overnight.

There are intercoms at both the front door and reception should you need anything outside of reception hours and all our full-time staff are trained in first aid.
