Testimonials
Lovely breakfast and we were well looked after by the staff throughout. My daughter said she'd like to stay at the hotel again. We walked into St. Ives centre in 10 minutes aswell, a super central location. Great facilities for weddings and parties. Would highly recommend!
The hotel itself is full of character, with beautifully maintained interiors that combine classic elegance with a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Everything is kept to a high standard, creating a relaxing and enjoyable environment throughout. My room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful and peaceful night’s sleep.
One of the highlights of my visit was the dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and presented with care. Every meal was enjoyable, and the quality was consistently excellent, adding to the overall experience.
The staff truly stood out—they were friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the stay feel special and memorable.
Overall, Slepe Hall Hotel offers a perfect combination of comfort, quality, and outstanding service. It’s an ideal choice for a relaxing getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality and enjoyable stay.
A warm greeting was received by staff and owner, service was excellent as was our afternoon tea- very fresh and tasty food.
Amazing food. Great value indeed
The team were great to work with. From the warm welcome on arrival to keeping me informed about the flow of service, everything felt organised and supportive. It made it very easy for me to plan my route around the room and ensure every table got a great experience. I was able to move easily between tables, and the layout made table magic work really well.
There was also a separate drinks reception space, which worked perfectly for mix-and-mingle magic before and after the meal, a lovely touch for events like this.
All in all, a brilliant venue for corporate functions, weddings or celebrations. Friendly staff, well-run logistics and a great atmosphere. I’d be very happy to perform here again.
Brian Storey, Magician
The venue itself is fantastic for events. Spacious, well‑kept, and with a charm that makes it feel special without being over the top. Whether it’s a wedding, party, or corporate gathering, Sleep Hall Hotel has the right mix of professionalism and warmth to make it memorable.
Highly recommend both the team and the setting — they made my time there a real pleasure.
While the service and rooms generally met expectations, the family room beds' noise levels (super squeaky) disrupted sleep, and the absence of a warm breakfast option during the week presents a bit of a drawback.
Great rooms.
Nice bar.
Free breakfast.
