Kenny & Lesley welcome you to St Ives Boutique Hotel

We bought The St Ives in August 2022. Lesley is from Aberdeen and worked previously in the Oil & Gas sector. Kenny returned from overseas where he has extensive experience in Hospitality managing resorts around Asia. We loved the hotel from the minute we viewed the property. The previous owners had done a full make over in 2017 so the hotel was stunning and we have built on the success of the previous owners whilst bringing some touches of our own.
