Restaurant & private dinners
Dinner at Seaholme is a quiet, oceanfront affair in St Ives — and for guests who want the evening entirely their own, private dinners can be arranged by enquiry.
Oceanfront dining
A small dining room, the sea in view, and candlelight after dark.
Seaholme’s restaurant is part of a six-room hotel by the sea in St Ives. The dining room is kept deliberately small, with tables candlelit in the evening and the atmosphere closer to a private house than a busy restaurant.
The menu changes with the seasons, using the finest local ingredients. Because there are only six rooms, the restaurant never feels crowded, and guests staying with us can ask about dinner when they book.

Private dinners
The dining room, the garden, or the whole evening — arranged around you.
Private dinners at Seaholme are arranged by enquiry. Whether you are marking an occasion, gathering a group, or simply want the dining room to yourselves, tell us what you have in mind and we will suggest how it could work.
The hotel’s small size means a private dinner can take over the restaurant for the evening or move outdoors to the garden. The menu, the number of guests and the timing are all agreed with you beforehand.
