The Big Slepe, hotel in St Ives

The Big Slepe is situated in St Ives, 48 km from Audley End House, 26 km from St John's College, and 27 km from St Catharine's College.

Lots, lots and lots to like. Great bus routes near to get around, fantastic little town for things that are needed. Parking was a big bonus for us. The little touches made the stay feel really welcoming, such as the condiments, cookies and milk. Great facilities on offer, wifi, washing machine, on suit W/C, kitchen, microwave. The bed was super comfy, the stay was really nice and we would glady come back, the overall rating i would give this is 8.5, the 1 is shower error. Without that its only 0.5 off and its little things like paint marks and tv

    We were going to St Ives for the annual and amazing Old Riverport Jazz and Blues Festival - now in its 9th year - four days of free !!! awesome bands which coincides with the Heritage Open day in St Ives. Because the music was hosted for free it meant everyone had a bit more money available to pay to get to St Ives and / or to have a bit of treat. St Ives has the perfect medieval layout for such an event and the weather was perfect for the outdoor music events. Discovering the quirky venues in such a beautiful historical riverside town was a real joy, and the quality of the muscians made it a genuinally special bit of magic.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities.

    Lovely little riverside town with plenty of amenities. Some great restaurants, we'd recommend Di Ritas Italian, and the Hambleton Bakery (next door to Waitrose). We had a charter trip on the Electric Boat company, and that's 5Star! You must try it, but book in advance.

    I like the mix of little shops and cafes, and there are lovely walks by the river and beyond. We enjoyed the fabulous food at the Italian restaurant on the waterfront, and its a good idea to book, it’s very popular. It’s very easy to get around, with a lot of paved walk ways, and we walked everywhere. I was disappointed in the amount of larger shops that have closed, but sadly this is the same in many small towns, so I am not being critical of St Ives.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town.

    Interesting and attractive Cambridgeshire market town. We were only over-nighting, so didn't have the opportunity to investigate the town's attractions. The riverside looked especially pretty. Definitely enough promise to tempt us back for a day trip.

    No thru traffic which made walking around the town very pleasant; old river bridge out of the town and river quay is delightful. Very old buildings to admire and the flower market together with the food market on another morning made shopping a really enjoyable experience for the visitor to the town.

    Especially liked the ion\pod area.

    Especially liked the ion\pod area. Coffee excellent at £1.75. After 1,1/2 mile walk the bacon rolls were excellent. Butchers thick bacon , fresh baked rolls and butter. The flowers and cleanliness of the walks. Very friendly atmosphere. Had to go back for another coffe and cake on the walk back. Interesting crafts and individual shops. Will go back and spend more time there.

    Very well located for access to town with plenty of parking on site. It’s a quiet, small and friendly hotel with well appointed rooms and bathrooms. The only disappointment was the lack of cooked breakfast. We’ve stayed before and this has been good but sadly they are struggling to replace staff who’ve left but I would stress this is a national and hopefully temporary problem and the long serving staff have been working very hard to keep it going. Highly recommend for visiting St. Ives or a pit stop en route near Cambridge.

    It was a wonderful apartment in a quiet location about half an hours walk from St Ives centre but close to a number of shops, bars and restaurants. It was very clean and tidy with 2 large bedrooms and a very large lounge/dining room. Not ideal for young children as there are are number of breakable items ie glass table. Great for adults though .

    Lovely comfortable house. Home from home. Visiting for a weekend to see family. The house made a great base and was an easy walk into St Ives. Very comfy beds. Great shower. The property was very clean and had a nice garden to relax in. The house was well equipped. Ray is a fantastic host and was super helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

    A very old but popular pub in the village of Holywell a 10-15 min drive to st Ives. Free parking. Only a few rooms. Room with very comfortable bed. My single room with double bed faced inwards to a roofed area so no sound from pub below. Huge cooked breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Friendly staff

    Was welcomed in reception by a very friendly lady who dealt with the booking-in whilst telling us all about the hotel and St Ives and its eateries. The spacious double room was extremely comfortable. The bathroom had a bath! Enjoyed a very full English breakfast. Mmmmmm!
