    “Whilst this is a beautiful apartment in a superb location, there were a few things that made me mark it down.”

    The cleanliness was not great. On arrival, I went to use the loo, and the toilet seat was dirty. There was what appeared to be congealed urine on the seat. I wiped it, and the wipe was filthy. There looks to be urine in the gap at the bottom of the lid, too. The bath had a white powdery coating in it, so I didn't use it. The bath, sink, and shower all look like they need to be sealed as there is a gap in some parts. The double bedroom has mildew on the windows and the net curtains. I wiped the ...

    The cleanliness was not great. On arrival, I went to use the loo, and the toilet seat was dirty. There was what appeared to be congealed urine on the seat. I wiped it, and the wipe was filthy. There looks to be urine in the gap at the bottom of the lid, too. The bath had a white powdery coating in it, so I didn't use it. The bath, sink, and shower all look like they need to be sealed as there is a gap in some parts. The double bedroom has mildew on the windows and the net curtains. I wiped the kitchen work surface down as there was something on it near the sink, and again, the cloth was quite dirty. The oven door did not close properly, so we did t use this. We emptied the kitchen bin on leaving, and there was some eggshell and other rubbish in the bottom. Generally, we felt that the lounge was a bit run down. The sofas feel like they don't have much support in the seats. The chairs in the window are grubby. The pillows on one of the sofas were torn, and one had a big stain on the back. The pillows on the window seats were also stained. The windows themselves looked like they had been cleaned but were all smeared, so we did the big window ourselves. One night, we had strong winds and rain, and both were coming through the big window. The wind was coming in at the hinges, which made an awful noise. It was also blowing through under the window sill. We couldn't work out where the rain had come in, but the window sill was soaked the length of the main middle window. The other thing that concerned me was that the info book seems very out of date. It mentions window keys in case of fire. However, this was nowhere to be found. In any case, even with getting the window open, you wouldn't be able to get out as there is no window ladder. There is also no fire blanket in the kitchen. The emergency torch didn't work. Despite the above, we enjoyed our holiday, and the apartment is in a great location, we just feel like the owners should be made aware of these issues. We would give this apartment another chance as it is a good size, bright and the location is amazing.

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.
