“Beautiful house in a beautiful location.”

Wonderful views and a few minutes walk to station where you can get the train into St Ives. It is quite a hilly area but that in turn gives you the sea view spectacularly. Great parking space. We have stayed in St Ives and Carbis Bay many times but our first time at Cornerways. Yes we were very comfortable and had what we needed for a great stay however I would like to reiterate a few things that previous clients have said in reviews.

Wonderful views and a few minutes walk to station where you can get the train into St Ives. It is quite a hilly area but that in turn gives you the sea view spectacularly. Great parking space. We have stayed in St Ives and Carbis Bay many times but our first time at Cornerways. Yes we were very comfortable and had what we needed for a great stay however I would like to reiterate a few things that previous clients have said in reviews. The bed mattress and pillows in the main bedroom are uncomfortable and I certainly didn’t sleep well. There is a dressing table in that room but no stool to sit on? The family member sleeping in the twin room was unable to open the patio door, that is the only ventilation to that room, the lock is jammed solid and we tried from inside and out with no luck, fault reported. Also the fridge although fitted integrally under the worktop, it is loose and tips toward every time you open it and you really need to check that the door is shut, fault reported - I see in reviews this was reported over 12 months ago but it’s still the same. The positives really outweighed these negatives but I think the main bedroom bed needs addressing as I couldn’t sheep in that bed again!! Thank you and we will certainly book again .

- Elizabeth, October 2024

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, I am glad to hear you had a lovely time and enjoyed exploring St Ives and Carbis Bay once again. We appreciate you reporting your concerns with the fridge, patio door and mattresses. We certainly will take the time to investigate each of your concerns now your stay is over as I am aware you did not want anyone to attend during your stay. Hopefully we can get them rectified in a timely manner, thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Property Owner

“Bed in the man bedroom is v uncomfortable the pillows are hard and again v uncomfortable the duvets are too heavy and cheap.”

All of this makes for an awful nights sleep. The rug in the lounge is filthy. The rest of the house is fine if a little dull in its decor. The location and views are great

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are glad to see that you enjoyed the views. We shall pass your comments onto the relevent teams for future improvements. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“Lovely property, well laid out and light and airy.”

Well equipped with super balcony. Great location near to beach and train station. Would definitely recommend. Only things that need sorting are:- The fridge and freezer in kitchen need to be secured in place as they tipped forward if you happen to lean on the door at all. The neighbour behind the property was extremely rude (not so easy to fix)!!

- Stephen, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see that you had a good holiday. We shall look into the points you have rasied for future improvements. We hope to have the oppotunity to welcome you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“We have been staying at Cornerways for number of years now.”

We love the house, garden and its location. Provides plenty of space for our family and the children love the cinema room. We have already made our reservation for next year.

Deborah June 2024

“We had another wonderful stay at CORNERWAYS, we have stayed there many times over the years.”

The house is in such a great location and its nice and roomy. This year though there was problem with the en-suite shower. The flow was poor and the temperature control wasn’t working properly, it was either very hot or cold. We had to use the other showers. The TV in the lounge is very slow, maybe a bad connection. Apart from that our stay was perfect and we will visit again.

Lynne April 2024

“The location of the property was good.”

The house was comfortable and on the surface it looked clean. On the day of our departure we stripped the beds only to find in the 2nd double room the duvet was stained in several places and the mattress cover was also marked. In the living room when plumping up the cushions on the sofas we found that underneath the seats they were full of debris i.e dust, crumbs, part of a child’s toy and an earring! A couple of days before departure we found that the vacuum cleaner didn’t work so we asked for a replacement which arrived. On the whole we were quite happy with the property, however, we like to leave a property in a clean and tidy state and it was then that we discovered the cleanliness was not as it first appeared! Due to this we will not stay at Cornerways again!

Thank you for taking time to give us feedback. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. We hope you'll consider staying with us again. Warm regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Paul March 2024

“Firstly, the negatives: Dishwasher needs replacing - its cleaning is poor.”

Some mugs were found filthy on arrival - glasses were dirty too and all needed re-washing. Central heating is too high and is difficult to control (thermostat had little effect). Cinema room was like a sauna. Seating in cinema room is also very uncomfortable. Duvets on beds are too warm. Back garden is not fully enclosed. Our dog found a gap in the hedge and escaped - luckily the neighbours were there and alerted us. Internet-only TV has very poor signal so some channels are unwatchable or regularly drop out. Far fewer toiletries provided than in previous years. Coffee table appeared dirty but was actually marked by ring-stains/heat. Now the positives: Excellent location, easy parking and easy access to station to get into St Ives in minutes. Lovely views. Spacious and very well-equipped house. Nicely furnished. Comfortable beds (ignoring the hot duvets). Comfortable sofas. Throws for dogs are a nice touch. Cleaning generally very good (although some hairs found on downstairs shower room floor and debris on upstairs en-suite floor). Friendly neighbours.

“We have stayed in this beautiful house many times and absolutely love it.”

The house is roomy and has everything you need. The location is perfect, close to stunning Carbis Bay and the train station into St Ives. One minor issue is that the TV takes a long time to turn on and is not easy to navigate. I just thought I’d mention it just in case there’s an issue with it. Thank you.

- Deborah, October 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the location perfect. We are sorry to hear that you struggled with the TV, if you have anything like this during your stay please contact us and one of the local team will be able to assist straight away. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Daryl September 2023

“Stunning property very cosy & was well equipped with everything you need.”

We planned every nite to use the cinema room but we’re far to Cosy in the living/dining area so never got to use it! The balcony was lovely & peaceful to sit & enjoy a glass of wine. The garden was great for us as we have a small pooch, it was secure & paw -fect

Irene August 2023

“Beautiful house everything you need was available .”

We loved our stay. I would have re booked for next year but our date wasn’t available. Just one or two things to mention it would be good to have a pad to write on save putting on here The master bedroom is wonderful so big the mattress looks great quality except for us was so uncomfortable no movement probably new not sure. Also please check fridge in kitchen it’s not level keeps coming forward , and toaster was smoking so didn’t use it checked crumb tray and clean so probably something stuck inside. I’m hoping to book for 2025

- Irene, August 2023

Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback it’s much appreciated, we are pleased to hear you loved your stay and that you are hoping to book again.

Great views overlooking the sea we didn’t have a good week weather wise so couldn’t enjoy our stay as much as we would of liked but if the weather would of been nice it would of made a big difference.

Andrew June 2023

“We had a lovely week at Cornerways.”

The house itself is great, on three floors, spacious, light and airy. I loved being able to see the sea from inside the house, and the garden. The location is excellent with the beach so close - less than 10 minutes walk away - and the station to St Ives even closer. Carbis Bay felt like the ideal holiday location, wonderfully quiet and yet with all the bustle and facilities of St Ives close at hand. We visited as a multigenerational family group, and the house provided plenty of space for all of us, with the three bathrooms being particularly welcome! All in all an excellent holiday home.

Dawn May 2023

“This property is beautiful in every way I couldn't fault it, it had everything.”

The only suggestion I would make is it needs a stand up fan or ceiling fan in the single bedroom as there are no windows and it was stifling, apart from that I will be returning and the admin/booming side with Sykes was seamless so thank you.

- Dawn, May 2023

Thank you very much for feedback and comments following your stay at Cornerways. We are thrilled to see you have rated the property so high in regards to cleanliness, facilities and maintenance, accuracy of the listing and comfort. Is great to hear you liked Cornerways and have found everything you needed for a nice holiday. We will bring your comment with regards to the fan in the single bedroom to the owners attention and leave this to their consideration. Thank you for making us aware.

Paul December 2022

“Our third visit to Cornerways.”

A great house in an ideal location however we did notice a couple of things slipping this time. The underfloor heating in the downstairs wet room had been set to 45° and a sign put over the controls instructing us not to change it. The room was unbearably hot and so we had to lower the temperature. I don’t understand the instruction not to vary the temperature in a house we’ve paid for, particularly when the room had been left feeling like a furnace and therefore otherwise totally unusable. There was a very poor selection of glasses with only two of most types. Strange in a house sleeping six. Fortunately lots of wine glasses though! Teaspoons were also in short supply. Other than that though, the house is very well equipped with all you could want and more. On the whole, Cornerways is very comfortable with lovely views from the upstairs bedrooms out to St Ives and across the bay to Godrevy. It is in a quiet location and within easy reach of Carbis Bay beach and some lovely coastal footpaths. The train station is also just a few minutes walk away giving good access into St Ives for non-drivers.

- Paul, December 2022

Thank you for your feedback as it is very important to us. We are sorry to hear there has been an issue with thermostat setting in the downstairs wet room this time. We apologise for any inconvenience and want to assure you that we will look into this closely to rule out any issues with the heating system and make sure its set at the right temperature going forward. The team are also always available to help deal with any issues during your stay on 01736 630015 option 2. With regards to the glass selection in the kitchen of Cornerways, we are pleased to inform you that this has now been extended. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!

“We love this house and location so much we’ve booked yet again for next year.”

The house has everything we could wish for and allowing our 2 well behaved dogs to come too is fantastic and can’t thank you enough for allowing them to come and enjoy our holiday with us. My only very minor issue is whenever we’ve stayed we find stuff under the sofas, such as toys, food and leaflets. If it weren’t for this we would give cleanliness a

“House is in a great location and is spacious, well-equipped and comfortable.”

We have stayed her twice before but the decor and sofas are the same. Its just a bit drab and needs some updating. Also the main bedroom really could do with having a television as most other places are offering this.

Marion September 2022

“The property was very comfortable and in a great location for the train station and good sea views from many of the rooms The ground floor of the property smelled rather musty but it was very wet when we were there so that probably didn’t help.”

The kitchen is very well equipped only gripe was the two very small ovens so it was a bit of a struggle cooking for six. We would definitely recommend this property as it was very spacious and comfortable.

- Marion, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear that the property smelt musty, this has been taken on board and reported to the necessary department to look into. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“Location is good, but nice area.”

The facilities in this property is awesome. Only thing needs improvement is the toilet is not that clean. I and my wife had done some extra cleaning ourselves. The bathroom is cand the living room are quite clean. Despite of that, I still can provide 4 star and recommend.

- Bo, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you liked the location and facilities and would recommend! We hope you had a great holiday. We have spoken to the housekeeper about the points raised. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind Regards Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Tamsin May 2022

“Brilliant holiday home with an amazing view.”

We had a lovely stay . Nice quality bedding, towels etc. Plenty of parking room. We stayed in the larger double bedroom which was very nice but the bathroom doors, well there aren’t any! Even after many years of marriage I don’t think they were very nice . They are like something out of a Western cowboy bar! Need to be changed.

- Tamsin, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you had a lovely stay and found the house beautiful. The bathroom doors are how the architect designed the house, but the property owners are looking to improve them. We do hope you will visit us again soon.

“A beautiful spacious house with lovely panoramic views from St Ives to Godrevy Lighthouse.”

Nicola March 2022

“House is great - location can’t be beaten!”

Only a ten minute walk down to the beach. It was very clean and we appreciated the welcome pack. The layout of the house is great, especially if you plan to bring your dog because the garden can be easily accessed from the living area. Kitchen was well equipped in terms of pots, pans, cutlery etc. There were a few things that would have improved our stay: No soap, tea towels and only a tiny amount of Fairy liquid in the kitchen. The en-suite bedroom has saloon doors going into the bathroom and is not in anyway private. A proper door would be much better here. Tried to watch a DVD in the cinema room, but it kept showing us an error with the internet connection which we couldn’t get past. Tried to watch the DVD in the lounge instead but discovered that the scart cable was loose behind the tv and there was no port at the back of the tv to connect it to. No instructions on which colour bin we should be putting general waste in - we knew we had to put it out on Thursday (this was written everywhere) but no idea whether it should be brown or green. This needs to go into the instructions. No clear recycling bags under the sink, which apparently there should have been. Asking guests to check out at 9am AND strip the beds is a bit much - the housekeeper should be doing this (or you should give your guests an extra hour or two). Especially frustrating as we couldn’t check in until 5pm on arrival. We essentially lost a whole day of our holiday and had to do housework. The door to the third bedroom (with the two single beds) can’t close due to the size of the bed frames. It remains open by a foot, so you can’t sleep in there.

- Nicola, March 2022

Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback, it really is important to us. We are so pleased you enjoyed the house and location and hope you had a lovely break away. We are sorry you experienced some tech issues, we are always available to fix any issues, had you reported them to us. We have reviewed our check in and out times and hope to change them in the near future. We hope to welcome you again soon, Kindest regards The Carbis Bay Holidays team. Property Owner
Cleo February 2022

“Stunning property in the perfect location.”

So pleased it's dog friendly especially when we visit in the winter months. The rooms are great sizes and the beds are very comfortable. Bathroom facilities are very good. Only slight niggle is the wet room has no storage for your things, no bin and a tiny mirror. The kitchen is the best equipped we've ever stayed in. The garden is a bonus, there are some steps as the house is up high, buyt because of this you get a view of the sea, St Ives and Hayle. There's room to get away from each other with the use of the cinema room. Overall apart from a little more deep level cleaning the house is perfect for us and we'll be back in November.

- Cleo, February 2022

Dear Mrs Watkins Ross, Thank you for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Cornerways. We have taken your valued comments on board and passed these on to the relevant persons for their consideration and attention.

Becky October 2021

“Cornerways is a fabulous house in a fantastic location.”

Nice & spacious with plenty of amenities, however the fridge is small for the number of people that can stay & it's design makes it difficult to put items in & out of without dislocating a hip. Great sea views, spacious parking, overall very good. Helpful tip for owner: wetroom could do with more ventilation as its takes such a long time to de mist all condensation even with leaving the fan for a longer duration.

“I would have liked some facilities to recycle.”

We couldn't find anywhere to recycle glass, tin, paper and plastic at Cornerways. I noticed on bin day other properties in the area had some sort of recycling bags and plastic crates.

- Andrew, October 2021

Dear Mr Bradley, Thank you for your feedback. We can confirm that unfortunately Cornwall Council does not give 'holiday accommodation' the option to recycle.The bags/crates are something in which residents get, but not holiday homes. Our nearest recycling centre is now located in St Erth, behind the railway station. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience as this is out of our control.

Karl September 2021

“Thank you a well presented property and a really positive experience overall.”

The accommodation would benefit from more teaspoons glasses and oven gloves. It would be helpful to explain to the neighbour at Tryst that until the accommodation is accessed and the garage opened it is inevitable that three cars are at the front of the property Yours sincerely Karl Tupling

Michelle September 2021

“House is lovely and in a perfect location.”

We knew the area beforehand as we have stayed with Carbis Bay holidays before but not in this particular accommodation. Unfortunately the only let down was the cleanliness of the property. Given our previous experience of Carbis Bay Holidays this came as a BIG surprise. On face value it appeared clean however it was not. Reported this to customer services, by which time I had cleaned what we needed to use given the late 5pm check in. Kitchen equipment unclean, including utensils, everything felt greasy. Bedding - pillow/mattress protectors had clearly not been washed and by the looks of it had been left for some considerable time. Discovered this as bedding smelt unfresh. Decided to use the washing machine and stripped the bedding and discovered stained and unwashed bedding. Not acceptable in any circumstance, but even more so given the delay in gaining entry to the property due to apparently enhanced cleaning. Everything should be 100% clean regardless for the next occupants, no one wants to sleep in someone else’s body fluids! I could go on and on as there were many more issues. We were really disappointed with what we discovered. An apology after the event isn’t acceptable as it shouldn’t have been there for us to walk in to in the first place. We still enjoyed our holiday, but how can anyone not in such a beautiful part of the UK, simply stunning.

Sandra August 2021

“Having stayed in the property Cornerways for a number of years now, this years stay was disappointing.”

I felt that the property didn't live up to previous years standards. As in previous years, apart from 2020 due to the pandemic which is accepted, we have always been welcomed to the property personally and introduced to the housekeeper and given a mobile contact number in case any difficulties arise, and was found to be a most efficient service. It is undoubtedly accepted that times have changed due to the pandemic: summer 2021 I believe could had been planned accordingly with all the necessary safety precautions taken. A query arose this year for instructions regarding the change of linen etc., so had to make a telephone call to the main telephone number regarding instructions, to which initially there was no reply after some time hanging on the phone. When finally making contact, the person receiving our call didn't appear to know the procedures, took details and said someone would call us back with the relevant details etc., which I hasn't to add, did occur. Furthermore, I must say I am a dog lover, although I do not currently own a dog, I felt that since the acceptance of dogs in the property, has lowered the quality. For instance, the general conditions of the furniture, and particularly the rugs in the lounge, were 'scruffy'. The patio/balcony furniture was in a delapitated state. The kitchen was lacking equipment for full capacity of people in the property. i.e. lack of some cutlery (i.e. teaspoons), there was only three large mugs, and most importantly there appeared to be no grill pan so had to adapt an oven tray to use the grill. As always I reserve the property early each year and pay my deposit. Next year's stay was a complete and utter shock to learn that the fees for a 2 week stay has doubled in price, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Therefore, since this years standards have declined, I feel that unless the conditions and standards of the property are greatly improved, I will not be returning in the future, seek the return of my deposit and find another property for my 2 week stay with another company.

“"Our third visit to Cornerways and better than ever.”

Immaculately clean and bright, comfortable furniture, lovely beds and bathrooms, everything to a high standard suitable for the whole family. The welcome pack of scones, jam and cream, apple juice and a bottle of Prosecco was much appreciated. Also, the spa passes to the hotel is a lovely touch and most enjoyable. Our whole family love the house and hope to make a fourth visit. "

Great location with easy access to Carbis bay and St Ives. The addition of the C Bay Spa passes meant our granddaughter could swim in the heated pool instead of the cold sea! We’d highly recommend Cornerways for a great family holiday."

“"Cornerways is the most beautiful and homely holiday home you could want.”

It is very spacious (the added benefit of the cinema room really is the icing on the cake for a large family). The kitchen is so well equipped with high quality equipment and beautiful furnishings throughout the house. It has a beachy vibe whilst feeling very warm and cosy. We could not have walked into a cleaner property......everything was SO clean and the bed linen and towels very luxurious....thank you. We totally recommend a holiday in "Cornerways"."

Our family consists of my husband,myself and two adult children,one of them with Aspergers who lives with us.We love St Ives,me staying in Boskerris Road as a teenager and revisiting with the family when our sons were little,so to us it is like coming home.And Cornerways is ideal for us,giving us our own bathrooms and the cinema room for our sons to screen their favourite films.We love the pale neutral decor which is always immaculate and it is always spotlessly cleaned by Sally and of course the views are to die for."

“"Just wanted to say we had an amazing week staying in Cornerways.”

The house had everything we could have wished for to make our family Christmas celebrations complete including tree and tasteful decorations! We found it to be spotlessly clean throughout, beds were comfy, absolutely everything worked effectively and the cinema room was a highlight for the children. The house had a very homely feel. It also felt much more spacious in reality than it looked on the website photos. We would definitely recommend this to others and are planning to return sometime soon." Jo Balmforth

“"We had a fabulous holiday, the house was exceptional and we managed to feed all the family (19) albeit in 2 sittings.”

The kitchen was superbly appointed with everything you could possibly need. All the extra touches, lovely bedding and towels and toiletries. The children loved the TV room, peace for the adults too. Its location to the beach is excellent, 5 mins down, 10 back!" Mary Turrell

“"Just to say what a lovely time we had at Cornerways last week.”

It was our fifth visit and we were once again entranced by the astonishing views and the beautiful accommodation. The cinema room was very popular once again allowing us four adults to view our favourite TV programmes and the wifi is essential to us all. Cornerways is tastefully furnished and always spotlessly cleaned by Sally. Julie was very welcoming once more and we really loved the cream tea and chocolate buttons. We are returning in September for our sixth visit. We consider Cornerways to be our Cornish holiday home and can't wait to return." Lynn and John Burgess

“"We loved the Cornerways property and the cinema room was a bonus!”

Very comfortable and the 3 bathrooms made it convenient for bedtimes. All of the kitchen utensils were clean and we were not short of anything. As for places to go - the train ride to St Ives proved popular with our children and saved us having the trouble of having to park! We went to Trebah Gardens, Paradise Park (a good soft play area for younger kids) and the beaches around St Ives are great - St Ives harbour, Porthminster, Porthmeor and Carbis Bay beaches are all excellent."

“"We had a great time again at Cornerways returning for the second time this year, it has wonderful views, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and wifi and was in a relatively quiet position.”

We have always loved St. Ives.Sparklingly clean,in pristine condition and extremely comfortable. Our media savvy adult sons loved the cinema room and we loved the comfortable beds,fluffy white towels and the cream tea you left for us.It was a great base for us all and was very well equipped. We had a wonderfully busy week taking the train into St Ives,eating at The Ocean Grill (fantastically tasty full English breakfast,The Harbour Fish Bar (the fish platter to share between two was ample for three of us),and The Tate Gallery cafe( a great steak sandwich and breathtaking views). We went to Penzance eating at the Honeypot(mentioned in The Guardian) where one of us experienced a delicious Homitty Pie(cheese ,potato and onion).Truro was really pretty and unexpectedly quaint,the Park and Ride was useful and we ate traditional food at the Cloisters.A visit to the aircraft museum at Newquay was very interesting for us all and we rounded off the week driving to Gwithian, a place we stayed as a family many years ago,to photograph the Autumn high tide."

“"We rented Cornerways in Carbis bay over Christmas and we had a wonderful time.”

The standard, quality and the cleanliness of the house was the best we have experienced and we have been coming to Cornwall for the summer and Christmas for over 20 years. The house was clean and fresh and immaculate and made the whole experience even more comfortable. Many thanks for providing an excellent service (from the meet and greet to the cleaner texting to wish us a safe journey home!) and the welcome pack was a lovely touch." A. Escott

“"Overall we had an absolutely superb holiday in Cornerways, cleanliness was faultless and helped start our holiday off in a brilliant way, as was the welcome gifts of the bubbly and cream tea box!”

The kitchen was really well equipped with quality pots and pans (we cook a lot so this made a massive difference to us). The house itself had everything we could have wished for and the cinema room was superb, buckets, spades, balls etc for the beach were a really welcome addition for our 3 year old. Location wise, Cornerways is in an absolutely superb spot, great view and really close to the beach and train station." K. Soo

“"This was our second visit to Cornerways and we absolutely love it – would live there is we could, fantastic house, nice decor and style.”

For our needs, we liked the layout, the Cinema room giving us an alternative place to watch TV/films whilst my daughter watched other things in the lounge. Sea views from the house and location in Carbis Bay excellent. Standard of accommodation and cleanliness definitely 5-star could not go to any other house now in Carbis Bay other than Cornerways! As far as Carbis Bay goes, well we love that too- since we discovered it is so beautiful and makes for a truly relaxing holiday. We went to the Porthminster Beach Cafe on the walk from Carbis to St Ives and thought the food there was superb, if a little expensive. As always we had a meal at La Casita and The Badger Inn in Lelant – both of which we like, different types of meals." S.Harrison

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. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property.
