Do you still serve evening meals? Due to reduced demand, we now maintain only an emergency evening menu at Chy an Creet, for the odd occasion on which it may be needed. We recommend exploring the wealth of restaurants in the area, the nearest being only a ten minute walk from Chy an Creet. We are happy to mention various options, based on our own experience and reports from our other guests, to help you choose, or to make reservations for you. If you opt instead for a takeaway, please eat it in the bar, the Breakfast Room or al fresco - plates and cutlery are available in the Bar for you to use free of charge. Do you have a convenient off-street car park? Yes. Our little private car park is right alongside the hotel, in what was once part of the garden. With a little consideration, even in busy periods, all of our guests' cars can be parked so they are ready whenever they are needed. Leave your car parked throughout your stay if you wish - there's no charge. Will we have our own private shower and toilet? Yes. All of our rooms have their own en-suite shower and toilet with clean towels, shower gel, soap, tissues and hairdryer. The bathroom on the first floor is also available to guests who crave a relaxing soak in a hot tub, perhaps at the end of an energetic day's walking! May I smoke in Edgar’s Chy-an-Creet? Not anywhere in the house. Since 1st October 2003, Chy-an-Creet has been a non-smoking house, for the comfort and safety of our guests. We are proud of our NHS Gold Award for clean air. Do you have a colour brochure? Yes. It is available on this site for download (as a .pdf file). You can print it out yourself at home, as soon as it has downloaded. To read it you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. The rest of our internet site gives much more information than we could ever fit into a brochure so we hope you will enjoy exploring here. If you have been asked to enquire on behalf of someone who does not have internet access, just mention this and we'd be glad to send a printed brochure to them. Do you take pets? Sorry, no. We strenuously resist attempts by a couple of local kittens to adopt us and regret we can no longer accommodate pets in the hotel as when we did accommodate pets they caused problems for other guests such as those with allergies. With prior arrangement, however, we do make special arrangements for Assistance (Working) dogs. Do you cater for special diets? Yes. We always have vegetarian options available and are pleased to make more extensive arrangements if you can kindly let us know what you require, preferably as far in advance as possible. Where are you in relation to the town centre? St.Ives is a small seaside town, originally a fishing village. Chy-an-Creet is in the residential area in the west of the town, set back from the B3306 road at the top of The Stennack. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the shops, restaurant, harbour or beaches. Not being in the narrow streets of the town centre means we are easy to reach and it is easy for you to reach the places you want to visit. There's a convenience store just around the corner and another nearby. Please be aware, however, that West Cornwall is quite hilly so ask us for advice if hills are a problem for you or one of your party. Many guests enjoy the walk down to town and take a taxi back (around £3 one way). Do you open for Christmas and New Year? Sorry, not this year. Chy-an-Creet is closed for winter maintenance between the end of October and March. St.Ives has been a popular New Year venue in recent years and this seems set to continue. Check out www.stives-cornwall.co.uk/ , the town's official web site, www.go-cornwall.com/ (with vacancy indicators) or the Tourist Information Centre (01736) 796297 for accommodation enquiries for this period. If I stay out late, will you let me back in? Yes, of course! You will have you own key to enable you to come and go as you please. We do ask you to consider other guests' comfort, especially late in the evening when quiet is much appreciated. Do you give any of my details to other people? No. We use details you give us only in connection with your reservation or enquiry and keep them only as long as we are legally obliged to. We have to comply with any official requirements (a rare event) but otherwise we do not give any information about you to any other individual or organisation. You seem to emphasise "relaxing"? Yes, we do. We try to make Chy-an-Creet a comfortable place where you can relax and unwind. We are in the real world, so we cannot guarantee quiet but try to promote a reasonable degree of calm which is appreciated by the majority of our guests. The peace is, however, shattered every morning when, with your permission, we service each room (and replenish the coffee and biscuits) between about 1000 and 1300 hrs. Do you reckon this looks like writing in the sand? Well, no. We're not graphic artists so any similarity between this background and the wonderful golden sands of our sea shore is more by luck than judgement. Letters in the sand get washed away by the tide but we do our utmost to honour our promises and try our best to provide a comfortable base from which you can set out to have a enjoyable, relaxing, refreshing holiday. |
