“It was lovely to spend my birthday here in Carbis Bay!”

The apartment was clean and comfortable and the decking furniture a very pleasant surprise! We enjoyed a very nice meant at the UNA Restaurant. Glendurgan Gardens at this time of year is full of colour and well worth a visit. We will be back!

C & D Apr 2024

“Just finished a really lovely week here in this fab apartment and beautiful Carbis Bay!”

The apartment was more than was expected with everything you could need. Never been here before but will def be back asap! Perfectly placed for St Ives - walk or the train is 1 stop. The coffee shop/Deli on the main St Ives Road is excellent for a great evening meal too, as was the Tapas restaurant - best to book though! Fish and chips at Becks also very good! Thank you Bright Wings!

The beds were comfy and the couch. Everything was clean and tidy nothing dirty. There is loads of room in each room . My favourite thing was the view every morning we would go out and look at the view. It only took ten minutes to walk to the beach. PS I would definitely stay here again.

“We weren’t able to get a sky connection whilst there, but terrestrial tv was fine.”

Unsure if coffee machine is working as was leaking from the bottom and not able to get it to work. We had a fantastic week at the apartment. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful & a wonderful location to the beach & particularly for the train station. We will be looking to book again next year.

Christopher October 2023

“It is a really nice well equipped apartment with a great view and would recommend it.”

However, the heating could be turned down a little as it was very warm and the fridge door needs changing round as it is difficult to open due to the handle being on the opposite side to where it opens but a very enjoyable week.

- Christopher, October 2023

“Bright Wings is a very comfortable and well-equipped apartment with lovely views.”

It had everything we needed for our holiday. The only slight problem was that the wi-fi didn't work but after a quick phone call to the holiday company, they were able to offer alternative set up details.

Nicola October 2022

“Nice apartment and view, good facilities with nice balcony and furniture.”

A few points let the apartment down, the double bed has definitely seen better days, and felt quite saggy, and the Sky TV was a bit hit-and-miss and kept dropping the reception, the apartment did feel quite warm but as it was the end of October not a problem but wouldn't like to stay there in the Summer,

- Nicola, October 2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent holiday at Bright Wings. We are sorry to hear of the points you raised and have passed these to the Housekeeper that looks after the apartment for their attention. Many thanks, The Carbis Bay holidays Team. Property Owner
Orin September 2022

“We had a fabulous week in bright wings.”

This was our second visit to the property, views are incredible and appartment is smart and trendy. The only thing I would recommend would be to have some pint glasses at the property for drinking other than that. Great.

- Orin, September 2022

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! Thank you so much again for your comments and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Tim September 2022

“Overall we really liked staying at Bright Wings however there are a couple of points that would have made our stay better.”

Firstly the single bed mattresses are not very comfortable or supportive. Second, the apartment was extremely warm. On our arrival the heating was on and the apartment was far too hot, we had to open the main window and bedroom windows to get some cool air into the apartment. We then turned off all of the thermostats to try to reduce the temperature but the bathrooms remained very warm which resulted in the apartment getting to warm. we couldn’t work out how to turn the boiler off but keep the hot water on. i appreciate that some guests would want a warm apartment but considering that the weather is still warm, the inside temperature was too high and must be costing the owner a lot to heat. Overall we liked the apartment and it’s location. Would recommend.

- Tim, September 2022

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Thank you again for your comments which have been taken on board, if you have any questions during your stay please contact the local office and one of the team will be able to assist you.

Katrina August 2022

“Amazing property, everything you need for a self-catering stay.”

View of the beach from balcony was beautiful. Loved sitting out there both morning and night. Property was very clean and lovely touch with shortbread, chocolate and fresh apple juice on arrival! Perfect location to walk to Carbis Bay beach or to catch the train to St Ives. Would definitely stay here again.

- Katrina, August 2022

Katie July 2022

“Bright Wings provided us with a great base for our holiday in Carbis Bay.”

The balcony was a great added bonus and the views of St Ives we’re fabulous. Bring Wings had everything you needed and more, the little extra’s that had been thought off made our stay even better. The apartment is modern, clean and very comfortable. Our stay at Bright Wings in one of our favourite holidays.

“An amazing week in Carbis Bay.”

Bright Wings had everything to make a very comfortable stay. We loved waking up every morning to the stunning view from the balcony. We can highly recommend the Old Forge Bistro and Una Kitchen for meals out if you can not get into local restaurants. We'll be back soon Cornwall!

Graham February 2022

“The apartment and the view was lovely the only thing that let it down slightly ...”

The apartment and the view was lovely the only thing that let it down slightly was the steep hill down to the local beach with the lack of parking at the beach Value for money at this time of yr but maybe not for the summer months as car use will be essential and local amenities at a distance

- Graham, February 2022
B Feb 2022

“Being here is the best!”

I absolutely love the view and I can see St Ives. The waves in St Ives were amazing and the same here in Carbis Bay. Everything is brilliant! If there was a place which I could chooses to go to, it would be Carbis Bay.

- B, Feb 2022
J Feb 2022

“Regular visitors to Carbis Bay but first time staying in Bright Wings.”

Lovely, well equipped apartment. Fantastic views of St Ives from the balcony and super walks along the coast.

V and L Jan 2022

“Carbis Bay is beautiful, especially the beach, even in January.”

Apartment was lovely. The view is fantastic. If going to Lands End, park at Sennen Cove and walk to Lands End, the best views. Also, must go to Godrevy to see the seals.

- V and L, Jan 2022
Tony November 2021

“The apartment exceeded our expectations.”

The view from its location was stunning and ideally placed for lovely scenic walks. It was our first time this far west into Cornwall, and we would definitely come again.

- Tony, November 2021
T and A Nov 2021

“This is the first time we have ventured this far down into Cornwall, and we have not been disappointed.”

Wonderful accommodation, stunning views, fantastic walks and the weather was kind to us as well. We would definitely come down to Carbis Bay again.

- T and A, Nov 2021
Lucy October 2021

“The apartment was way too hot!”

! The first two nights were unbearable. I raised this with the management company and their answer was not satisfactory and I came to my own conclusion to turn the heating off altogether. The instructions in the welcome guide did not make sense and the management company could not explain to me how the heating worked. I would like to make a complaint about this as I hardly slept the first night due to the heat. Secondly, it was noted that there was Sky TV available at the property. We were disappointed as was expecting this to include Sky sports. We have stayed at one of your other properties which listed Sky and it did include the sports channel. Other than that, it was a very comfortable apartment, but the heating really needs to be sorted out.

- Lucy, October 2021

Dear Mrs Sainsbury, We appreciate you taking the time to submit your feedback. Firstly, we are sorry to hear that you found the apartment too hot; we have not found this to have been a complaint before and we can only apologise that you felt we didn't help. In regard to the Sky TV, we do specify on the listing if the property has movies and sports; Bright Wings does have movies as shown in the listing, along with on demand/streaming channels. Please be assured, we will review the heating settings, and adjust accordingly. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

Lorraine September 2021

“We have had a lovely week in this very comfortable apartment which has such a beautiful view.”

Throughout all furnishings and equipment are of a high standard, well organised and exceptionally clean, all has been carefully thought through. The beds are so comfy! Just one comment - the second bedroom is short of storage space and a chest of drawers in place of the chair would be really helpful, as would a bedside table with lamp next to the bed nearest the door. We did try this and it does enhance the room. We walked into St Ives and used the train several times, so easy and such helpful staff. The walk down to the beach (and back) is challenging but so worth it! Thank you Bright Wings, we would love to stay again.

- Lorraine, September 2021

Dear Lorraine, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback for your recent stay at Bright Wings. Its great to hear you had a lovely week, and you slept well by the sounds of it. We will pass on your comments about the second bedroom to the owners. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

“We have had a lovely time in Bright Wings - 4 adults.”

The D Family Sep 2021

“I've had a great holiday here in Carbis Bay.”

The weather was great and the apartment was amazing. It had everything it needed and the location was perfect. The view of the sea and St Ives was amazing as well. Thank you for an amazing holiday here, can't wait to come back soon.

- The D Family, Sep 2021
Ian July 2021

“We normally stay either in St Ives or Gwithian and was 1st time in Carbis Bay.”

Not very keen on steep walk to and from beach so largely went into St Ives or drove to Godrevy/Gwithian. We booked latish because of cancellation of trip to South Africa and felt lucky to find this apartment which was new onto your books. Wasn't able to see any pictures on website and would have been useful to know that balcony is quite small in comparison to others and sits back into building which restricts view a bit. Given our circumstances we would still have booked but would have been nice to know. Apartment was very good and well equipped. Would have preferred higher / dining seating/outdoor furniture on balcony like most of the other apartments. We were there for 3 weeks and would have appreciated a planned weekly clean / linen change. We did ring and get a change after 12 days but this should have been pre organised. Overall a good stay and service from the company. Thank you

- Ian, July 2021

Dear Ian Thank you for your Feedback following your recent stay at Bright Wings and I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. I’m pleased to advise there is now a large selection of photos of the property on our website and it also has a lovely new dining table. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back to the area again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary.
