“We had a lovely stay at Moonsail apartment in Carbis Bay, even better than we anticipated and had everything we required for a pleasant stay thanks.”

Feedback: Torches had no batteries, maybe supply rechargeable torches. Patio doors from main bedroom would benefit from a deep clean around the frames as they are getting black mould growth. We couldn't find the recycle bags as they were not by No5 wheelie bin. Hope that helps and and thanks again for a pleasant stay.

Brian September 2024

“We first stayed at Moonsail 6 years ago and loved it.”

The location alone was fantastic but the property was extremely comfortable and the fixtures and fittings were top notch. This time however it was clear the fixtures and fittings had not changed or been replaced over the last 6 years and some were rather tired. A shortage of crockery and glassware being particularly of note and the cutlery was a bit of a Mismash. The Sky box had to be rebooted three times in the week we were there as it kept losing its channels. Overall though, still a lovely property in a great location and we will probably book again.

- Brian, September 2024

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see that you had a great stay. We shall investigate the points you have raised for future improvements. We hope to see you again in the near future. Warm regards, Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner
Ruth September 2024

“It was our second stay & we were really pleased with the facilities again.”

It was very well appointed & clean. The gifts on arrival were much appreciated. Just one thing the door to the second bedroom really sticks.

- Ruth, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback we are glad to see you again for ypur 2nd stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Margaret September 2024

“We had a lovely holiday in moonsail.”

Very clean. Comfy bed and good showers. Light and airy with good outdoor space and a private parking spot. Bottle of wine and flowers were a lovely suprise. After long days out in lovely weather it was a treat to return and relax in the evenings. Great location. Already booked for 2025. !

- Margaret, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to see that you have a lovely holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back again in 2025. Warm regards Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Daniel August 2024

“Lovely flat in a fantastic location, with the additional benefit of being pet friendly.”

Our only problem was the Spinnaker parking, with both residents and holiday lets double parking in single spaces. The residents whose parking was directly behind our allocated space had visitors staying and so parked their two estate cars directly behind ours blocking us in. Frustratingly, they rarely answered their door and on the one occasion they did, had been drinking and told us they were unable to move their car. Although they did the following morning, they then still continued to park there! Worth noting for anyone who plans to use their cars a lot. With this in mind and yet another huge price increase for next year (we understand costs increase but it’s doubled in 4 years) we just don’t think it’s worth the money anymore and so sadly won’t be returning to this area for the first time in over 20 years of holidaying there.

- Daniel, August 2024

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are sorry to hear that you had this issue with the parking. We hope you will consider rebooking with us in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Antonia July 2024

“This is absolutely a beautiful property.”

We have stayed here a number of times. It would be nice to be able to hose the garden and the back. A few more utensils and a tumble dryer. A bin in the smaller bedroom other than that it was perfect.

- Antonia, July 2024
Richard July 2024

“Lovely 3rd visit to Moonsail.”

The apartment is in a great location and beautifully appointed with everything you need and great outside space too. Can’t wait to return !

Andrea May 2024

“Fabulous! The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave!”

This apartment was spotlessly clean, spacious, well equipped, furnished to a high standard and has sea views. The beds are comfortable. It’s a short walk to the beach, however, the road is very steep, which is something to consider if you have any mobility issues. The apartment is perfectly located to explore the area. We had our food shopping delivered (as we do at home) but there is a decent sized Tesco close by and we spotted most of the big supermarkets within a short drive. We usually make a point of staying somewhere different every time we come to Cornwall but we would happily return here. I would recommend it to anyone.

- Andrea, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback we are pleased that you had a good stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Paul April 2024

“The property was very very good - very well equipped - living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms ideal - outside area very handy The only slight negative was the cleaning team arrived at 9.”

15, waiting outside for us to leave and although we would have been easily out by 10.00 we felt under a little pressure - never had this in all the times we have stayed in St Ives (have been for the last 20 years) But overall thank-you for a very enjoyable holiday

“Very nice property, just one small point Comments made in visitors book,not been acted on I.”

E loose toilet roll holder, salt and pepper pot would be useful. I suggest your cleaner or handy man read it sometime,as its a great way of picking up feedback

Deborah October 2023

“Thank you for letting your wonderful apartment.”

Beautifully set out, like a home from home with everything we needed. Clean and comfortable. Guests treats a welcome touch especially the dog treats :) Would happily stay here again. Just a couple of small things, couldn't find salt and pepper pots, toilet roll holder in loo kept slipping, grab rails needed in bathrooms. Thank you again for our wonderful stay. Highly recommend x Deb O'Neill, 28th Oct to 4th Nov

Peter October 2023

“The cottage was lovely and very comfortable.”

We arrived late as there was disruptions on the trains so the welcome pack including wine was very much appreciated. We stayed in and cooked a couple of nights and the cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was in a good location for walking to local eateries and we loved La Casita (we visited it twice as my husband loved the Paella) and we also had a lovely meal at the beach club restaurant down in the bay - but watch the wine prices! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking of staying.

- Peter, October 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such great feedback after your stay at Moonsail. We are so pleased to hear you managed to relax and enjoy your stay at the property, as well as sampling the local restaurants and café's we are so lucky to have on our doorstep. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future. Kindest regards, The Team at Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner
Jane October 2023

“This was our second stay in Moonsail and once again we are very pleased with this property.”

It has a great location near the beach and a very pleasant walk takes you to St Ives. The apartment was clean, bright, modern and well equipped. A very nice welcome pack was waiting for us on arrival.

- Jane, October 2023
Faith August 2023

“The hand basin in the shower room was blocked and the tap had to be held still with one hand in order to turn the tap either way.”

The basin became disgusting to use. There was no signal from Carbis Bay - which is something Sykes must be aware of. I borrowed a computer to send an email and my phone number so that I could be texted. We received the normal automated reply acknowledging the receipt of our email and nothing further for the rest of our stay. There is nowhere in the shower to put soap, shampoo or face cloth, which all have to be juggled while taking a shower. When paying the equivalent of a month's rental for a family home, you do expect everything to be in working order! Most businesses use texting as a way to be able to contact even when phone reception is poor. Sykes needs to move into the 21st century.

- Faith, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear of the issues you encountered during your stay. We will be sure to pass on your comments. For future reference please contact our local office on 01736 630015 we are open Monday – Saturday 9am-5:30pm and we will be more than happy to assist you. Despite the issues you experienced we do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Karen August 2023

“We booked a week at Moonsail with our dog.”

The apartment was beautifully appointed and met our expectations. I agree the path down to the beach is steep but it’s expected to be as we are in a bay. The beach at Carbis Bay & Porth Kidney were stunning, particularly the latter as it’s open to dogs all year round. What you don’t get at Porth Kidney is the facilities such as toilets / refreshments or parking. We walked the 3km south coast trail path and back to the apartment or parked at the church in Lelant late afternoon. I would thoroughly recommend Moonsail to dog owners as all needs catered for. Thanks Carbis Bay Holidays, we will be back!

- Karen, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear the apartment met your expectations, we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Caoline August 2023

“A lovely apartment set in a perfect position.”

Short walk to a beautiful beach and to St Ives. The kitchen had everything you needed and having a washing machine and BBQ was a bonus. I would recommend this apartment and will be coming again to stay. Thank you!

- Caoline, August 2023
Margeret June 2023

“The yard outside had a pizza oven and a BBQ both were both not fit to use and ...”

The yard outside had a pizza oven and a BBQ both were both not fit to use and unfortunately the yard floor needed a good hosing The apartment was excellent we had the electrician who-sorted a new fan quickly in one of the bathrooms The literature states a short walk to beach we found it very steep and the return walk was very taxing for older people Very good for Tesco etc

- Margeret, June 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback. We will speak to our maintenance team and also the housekeeping to ensure the yard and BBQ is kept in good condition. If you need any further information in terms of alternative properties which would be more suitable for you please do give the local office a call on 01736 630015 (Option 2). Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Janice May 2023

“Very comfortable and well equipped, even for the dog.”

We all commented on how comfortable the beds were and the quality of the furnishings. Up to the high standard we have come to expect from Carbis Bay holidays. Initially I was a little concerned about the dog and cream carpets in the hallway and living room , however they were spotless and the availability of a very efficient vacuum cleaner meant we could clean up as necessary. Outside space was bigger than expected and the sofa seating an unexpected bonus. I’d like to suggest an additional blind or curtain at the French doors in the main bedroom as the folding blinds are very thin and the sun rises on that side of the property so it was very light in the room shortly after 5am. A thoroughly enjoyable stay, only wish we’d booked for longer.

- Janice, May 2023

Thank you very much for your Feedback following your recent holiday at Moonsail and we are so pleased that you and the dog all enjoyed your stay. Thank you also for your recommendation with regards to an additional window covering on the French doors in the bedroom we will pass this on to the Owner of the property for their consideration. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Emma April 2023

“We have been visiting for a few years now and will continue to do so.”

We love the area and the walks are amazing, this year we were disappointed with the welcome pack, in previous years we have had poo bags for the dog, scones cream etc but none of this was there this year.

- Emma, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Moonsail and we do hope you enjoyed your holiday. We are very sorry to hear you were disappointed with the complimentary Welcome Pack, unfortunately the local bakery that used to supply our Cream Teas has closed but after much research and consideration we are pleased to advise that these have been replaced with traditional Cornish Fairing biscuits as well as other local treats. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Caris Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“WOW ,what a beautiful place ,had a bit of anxiety at cream carpets through out with a black Labrador n beach walks!”

Would definitely recommend,it's convenient for everywhere n wanted to stay there to cook as kitchen is way better than mine! ,It's on the list now! Will definitely return some day, thankyou so much ,you do need to take own condiments n fairy as they ask you to take everything home,but was a Tesco close by for everything but no biggy , didn't want to leave xx

“A very comfortable and pleasant apartment which is located in a wonderful position close to the stunning beaches of Carbis bay.”

So nice that it is pet friendly.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and felt very welcome. We also really appreciated the personal touches such as the local biscuits, fruit juice and doggie treats which were waiting for us on arrival.

Neil September 2022

“Very nice apartment.”

Good location within walking distance to the beach. Generous sized , clean, good tv. Have stayed in Carbis Bay a lot over the years and this apartment is right up there in terms of the best we have stayed at for the price paid. Not a fan of leather sofas ( bit small). Other than that would definitely use again. Probably the worst weather I have ever had in Cornwall

- Neil, September 2022

Thank you so much for your Feedback following your recent holiday at Moonsail and we are pleased to hear you thought the apartment was very nice and in a good location. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future and hope the weather will be better for your next stay! Best wishes, the Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

Tracey July 2022

“It would have been nice if the faults we found ie no shelf for drink in the fridge door.”

Dirty back yard squeaky fridge door. Dirty cutlery chipped cups and plates. Dusty head board in the main bedroom . If these had been resolved before our stay it would have been amazing. Easy to fix faults that should never have happened. The office did sort what they could which helped. If these things were fixed it would have been 5 stars all the way.

- Tracey, July 2022

Thank you very much for your constructive comments, we have informed the housekeeping team of the issues you found and we are pleased that we were manage to fix the issues you encountered promptly. We hope to welcome you back to the property again soon. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Louise May 2022

“I could not fault this property at all the location is brilliant for both Carbis Bay and St Ives.”

The property is spotless and the additional seating outside (which is not pictured) is a real sun trap and really added additional value on a warm day. It really was a home from home and I would definitely recommend.

- Louise, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed the location and property. We hope to welcome you back soon! Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Stephen April 2022

“Overall a beautiful apartment with high quality fixtures and fittings in an ideal location.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch. However, there were a number of issues we need to bring to your attention: The twin beds were not pushed together into a double as requested when booking. There was no Nintendo Wii games console, controllers etc as stated in the accommodation details. The washing machine was very dirty with gunk and mould. We had to clean the drawer and door seal then run a hot wash before we felt able to use it; not something you want to spend time doing on holiday! It may be beneficial to put a notice on or near the machine requesting that the drawer and door be left open after use to allow it to dry out. Also for the machine to be regularly checked and cleaned. It was stated that a hand towel, bath towel and bath sheet would be provided for each guest but there was only a hand towel and bath sheet. There were complimentary toiletries for three guests rather than four. The bottom of the blinds in the main bedroom were dirty/mouldy and one of the plastic tabs was broken. The wire racks on the barbecue were rusty. We have been staying in self catering accommodation in Cornwall, and throughout the UK, for many years. This was our first time with Carbis Bay Holidays and we were disappointed that we found it necessary to have to bring these issues to your attention.

- Stephen, April 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear that you didn’t find the property up to standard, we apologise. The website has also been updated to reflect the removal of the Wii console. All of your feedback has been taken on board, reported to the necessary departments to ensure these things do not occur again and the housekeeper has sent her apologies regarding the bed make up. However, the team are also always available to help deal with any issues during your stay on 01736 630015 option 2 and would do what we can to resolve them as soon as possible. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Deborah March 2022

“Accomodation and facilities second to none will definitely book moonsail again.”

Only negative thing we would say - getting in accomodation at 4pm and having to leave at 9am should be reviewed as covid restrictions have now finished. We travel from sheffield 6 hour journey - would be much better to get in for 2pm and leave at 10am particularly if a short break. Thankyou.

- Deborah, March 2022

Dear Mrs Dobson, thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. We are so pleased to hear you would definitely book again. We are currently reviewing our check in and out times and hope to ensure a later check out for guests. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kindest Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

Jackie January 2022

“We had a amazing week at Moonsail considering it was January we were very lucky with the weather daily walks on Carbis bay beach.”

Several walks into St Ives along the coastal route. Felt fitter after the week very steep hill on the return walk but well worth it. Moonsail was a beautiful place to stop in very comfortable, we loved the jacuzzi bath. Lovely welcome gifts,it felt like home it had everything you could possibly need including a fan which my daughter uses every night. Would definitely come back.

Justine December 2021

“The apartment was lovely!”

Clean and with everything we needed. We were a little confused by the instructions about where to leave the bed sheets as we couldn’t find the red laundry bags anywhere or the padded envelope for the keys so we just did what we thought was best.

Angela August 2021

“Another fabulous holiday at Carbis bay.”

We have stayed in a number of properties over the last 7/8 years and Moonsail was one of our favourites. It was very well equipped with everything you could need and more. A short walk down to the beach but a bit steep on the way back up but to be expected in Carbis bay. Sadly this may be our last break in Carbis bay as the prices have increased about 2 1/2 times for next year on this years price which does not seem justified as still only getting the same property.

- Angela, August 2021

Dear Mrs Cooper, We are delighted to hear that you hand a wonderful stay. Its lovely to hear that you may have found a new favorite. There has been a huge demand for stay-cations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Sean June 2021

“.A Wonderful, large and overall comfortable property. Would like to point out a few minor issues”

. The kitchen tap was dripping from the minute we arrived. Thus should have been reported as I'm sure the cleaners would have noticed. The kitchen bin was an issue, with the lid closing. The plastic catch was bent and eventually snapped, through wear and tear. Poor quality bin, compared to all the other appliances and equipment. The lighting to the large bathroom mirrors could be improved to allow shaving and applying makeup. The shower screen wasn't particularly clean upon arrival nor was some cutlery. ( A fork was filthiest). Given the 8 hour cleaning window of 9am until 5pm this should be 100% spotless). We haven't had any previous issues with our carbis bay holidays in the past. Whilst the above points are negative, the overall experience was still very good. Kind regards Sean

“"We enjoyed our stay at 'Moonsail' very comfortable and warm, lovely location and views.”

We followed one of the recommended walks in the 'Moonsail' information pack and took the coastal footpath to Lelant. Had lunch at the Badger pub. Then caught the train back to St.Ives to finish the day off. Another day we drove to Truro one of our favourite Cornish towns and got the River Fal to Trellisik? and spent an afternoon in the gardens. On Friday the only rainy day we visited the Eden project. Well worth giving a day to. We would be happy to stay at 'Moonsail' again and enjoyed our stay. There is parking for a large car and the supermarket is also very handy for supplies." G. WIlliams

“"We enjoyed our trip to the Minnack Theatre.”

We were surprised we were allowed to take our dog into the Theatre as well, which was fabulous. We also drove to Lizard Point and had a pleasant stroll down to the old lifeboat station before enjoying a proper Cornish Pasty for lunch. During our previous stays we have also visited Trebah Gardens, St Michael's Mount, Sennen Cove and Mousehole Penzance is always a good trip to wonder around the shops and while away a few hours. Although we live in Cornwall, we just love St Ives and its many beaches. I have some fantastic scenic photographs. We enjoy the train ride into St Ives, even the dog! Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The Sheaf of Wheat and the Sloop Inn are our favourite dining experiences." N. & M. Wood

We were impressed with many places and attractions in the area such as the National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek. We enjoyed the coastal walk into St.Ives and the coastal walk to Lelant in the other direction. We ate at several restaurants but were impressed with Saltwater." L. Sanders

“"We had a fantastic time and Moonsail was fantastic - a real home from home.”

Everything about this booking has been simple and good value , thank you for making life easy and our holiday on we will never forget. With 2 small children we didn't get to experience the local restaurants much although we did enjoy the beach cafe in St Ives ast the end of the coast walk (which was stunning). We visited The Camel Trail with our bikes and it would be useful to have some information about that in the flat. We also visited many of the child friendly attractions in the local area but the most enjoyable was Lappa Valley Rail." R. Houston

It was clean with the fixtures and fittings to a good standard. A real home from home. The location was ideal for St. Ives and general touring. With the weather being so good last week we enjoyed all the local walks, the best being around Godrevy. All in all the best holiday we have enjoyed in England for a long time and we will definitely revisit. Many thanks." M. Howard

“"Moonsail is an exceptional property.”

The owners have put a lot of thought and care into furnishing this luxurious apartment and we had a very comfortable stay there. The flowers were welcoming and we really appreciated the Cornish cream tea, they were a lovely touch. We particularly liked the thought the owners had put in for entertainment, our children loved the Wii and we had some good nights playing the traditional family board games and watching the DVD's."

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.
