Lots of useful information and clear instructions. Very clean and well presented. Everything I could have wanted was provided. Excellent location for my trip.

George Hotel by Greene King Inns, hotel in St. Ives

Situated in Huntingdon center, the George Hotel is a historic inn with elegant rooms and a traditional ale bar. Huntingdon Train Station is a 10-minute walk away.

Lovely staff. Fantastic location. This room Wouldn't be suitable for anyone disabled the second flight of stairs were a killer 😞 I mentioned the smell and the mouldy taps and shower guard to the gentleman on reception when we left.

Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon, hotel in St. Ives

Boasting excellent transport links, this contemporary-style 4-star hotel is set on the outskirts of Huntingdon, just minutes away from the A14, linking to the M11 southbound and the A1(M) north.

The location was great, close to shops as well. The room is a good size and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of storage, great size desk and TV. The staff were friendly on arrival and bookout. I didn't use any of the other facilities, Luke the pool, gym or restaurant, so I can't comment on those. Room service is available late night and early morning if needed. Blackout curtains were good and Aircon in the rooms which was good.

    We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives. Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose). We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

    I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

    No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.

    Especially liked the ion\pod area.

    Especially liked the ion\pod area. Coffee excellent at £1.75. After 1,1/2 mile walk the bacon rolls were excellent. Butchers thick bacon , fresh baked rolls and butter. The flowers and cleanliness of the walks. Very friendly atmosphere. Had to go back for another coffe and cake on the walk back. Interesting crafts and individual shops. Will go back and spend more time there.

    Very well located for access to town with plenty of parking on site. It’s a quiet, small and friendly hotel with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. The only disappointment was the lack of cooked breakfast. We’ve stayed before and this has been good but sadly they are struggling to replace staff who’ve left but I would stress this is a national and hopefully temporary problem and the long serving staff have been working very hard to keep it going. Highly recommend for visiting St. Ives or a pit stop en route near Cambridge.

    It was a wonderful apartment in a quiet location about half an hours walk from St Ives centre but close to a number of shops, bars and restaurants. It was very clean and tidy with 2 large bedrooms and a very large lounge/dining room. Not ideal for young children as there are are number of breakable items ie glass table. Great for adults though .

    Wonderful size property in a fantastic location with parking, close to all amenities in St Ives which is a lovely town. Apartment was more spacious than photographs show, the rooms were large and bright. Walk in shower was a good size but the extractor fan did not work which causes a lot of steam. The provided toiletries were a nice touch.

    Room spacious and clean, large bed comfy, good sized tv and decent shower. Very close to town so easy to get food. Nice walk over the old stone bridge - very picturesque. I bet this hotel gets packed in summer with patio area on riverside.
