Families

Family friendly accommodation in the heart of St Ives, within easy walking distance of all the beaches, cafes and activities. From toddlers to teenagers - St Ives has loads for everyone!

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 (5 if you count the little one) 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!

Family rooms

We have different sized rooms and can host families of up to 3, 4, 6 or even 8 people; you could even get two rooms next to each other and come away with friends.

Each bed has a memory foam mattress, hypoallergenic linen and bedding, its own reading light, plug socket (with USB port), shelf or pot, under-bed storage space and privacy curtain.

All our rooms are within a few metres of the nearest shower block; there are 3 throughout the hostel – male, female and unisex.

For pictures and details of our bedrooms visit our Gallery or Rooms & Rates page.

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.
