This is a really good restaurant to come to for lunch. Really easy to get to in the centre of St Ives. There is a good selection of food on the menu and a good selection of drink behind the bar. The place is well looked after and the staff are friendly and professional. The owners were in the building and were wondering around. Showed they cared about the place and wanted the place to be as good as it is. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again.

Beautiful accommodation, stunning bedroom, very welcoming staff. The room smelt amazing upon entry. The bed was so comfortable, soft. Jacuzzi bath was out of this world. Complimentary continental breakfast in the morning. Old build so you can hear people in the corridor , not a problem for us. |Wonderful stay, would definitely stay again.

We attended for our works Christmas party. Food was served punctually. I really enjoyed mine (sorry, no picture of Christmas pud but was nice!). This was the second works do - the first having been at the Old Bridge. Price was on par with Old Bridge (fixed Christmas menu) and I have to say the food was slightly better in my opinion! Waiting staff were a little rude towards the end - we had 4 drop out. - two of whom left midway through the meal but the staff refused to bring their puddings out to the rest of us. Otherwise, no complaints and a good evening had by all.

We went for sunday lunch as we have booked our wedding here for 2027 and my parents wanted to try the chefs food. Well what can i say about it except amazing, the beef was the best beef all 4 of us have had in a long time. Generous portions. The pigs in blankets were tasty, proper sausages too, Yumm. The veg was all very well cooked and the potatoes were exceptional. Deserts were sooo tasty, sticky toffee pudding was to die for and the cheescake was soo tasty. The only critisism all 4 of us have is there was no duck spring rolls and no hot chocolate but this didnt spoil our meal in anyway. Starters were hamhock pate and soup which were also very tasty. Safe to say all 4 of us left very very happy and very full. Whether your looking for sunday lunch or looking at this as a wedding venue its a definete yes from us. The food is sublime the chef clearly loves what he does ans it shows. The staff are all amazing, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We are very confident our wedding day will be a huge success just based on the staff and the food. We very much looking forward to coming back again and again and of course our wedding day

Please thank your chef for an exceptional sunday lunch.

Lovely place. Could do with being warmer, rooms and dining area were cold in temperature. Arrived to find nobody in reception. Waited for about 15 mins before seeing anybody and that was a builder. Other than that, all good. 😁

Slepe Hall Hotel is a comfortable, fairly small hotel within easy walking distance of the centre of St. Ives in Cambridgeshire. The route to the town centre goes along the banks of the beautiful River Ouse. |The rooms are comfortable and carefully cleaned and prepared. The bathroom had a bath with shower over and the usual toiletries. It was clean and a good size. The bed was comfortable and all the linen was clean and ironed. I had a fairly good night's sleep, though there were the usual unfamiliar noises that often occur in hotels. There was a kettle and Tassimo coffee machine in the room, with tea bags and coffee pods. There was a TV in the room, but I couldn't get it to work!|The staff are efficient and welcoming. There are several public rooms, including a hallway area with cosy settees. |I did not dine at the hotel, so I can't comment on the cooking or the dining experience. I stayed on a weekday when I think the hotel does not offer a cooked breakfast. A continental breakfast (orange juice, fruit cocktail and 2 croissants with butter and jam) was brought to my room, which was adequate. |Overall, a good experience. I would certainly stay there again.
