“Internet is a bit Hit and Miss.”

It was clean and comfortable and was a good base for our Holiday. Being a loft apartment the ceilings are a bit low so be aware when looking at it. However, a good place to stay for 2 people

“Perfect stay at the Hideaway!”

Spotlessly clean and fresh on arrival. Cost, quiet and very clever use of space. Very comfy bed with high quality bedding and towels. Big comfortable sofa. Great TV. Yes, you have to watch your head on the eves but it's an attic apartment! Am excellent example of pet friendly accommodation without compromising cleanliness. Also, great location for Carbis Bay and bus route to St Ives.

Thank you for your feedback we are glad that you had a perfect stay. We hope to see you again in the near future, Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“The apartment was not clean at all.”

The bathroom had hairs and dirt in the shower, sink and on the toilet, there was also cobwebs in the shower and we were left with 2 half used toilet rolls and no hand wash. The shower is quite dangerous as it comes out either freezing or scolding and is very difficult to find a suitable temperature meaning we burnt ourselves a few times. The floor throughout was very dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned, there was a dead fly on the floor in the bedroom. The sofas in the lounge were filthy, so much so we didn’t even sit on them, they had stains on them and even the throw used on one was dirty as if it hadn’t been replaced/washed from the previous guests. The bedding had rips in and there were no cleaning products in the apartment to try and resolve the issues so we had to buy our own. There were also no spare bin bags for rubbish. It’s a huge shame as this was our first family holiday with our 3 month old and we felt like we couldn’t enjoy the apartment because we were too worried about the lack of cleanliness, especially with our baby. We made this known on our first night to Sykes and they tried to contact Carbis Bay Holidays and received no response, and we are still awaiting a response after leaving nearly 2 weeks later. The apartment is in a great location and could be lovely if it had been cleaned and some of the issues sorted. Overall we were really disappointed and wouldn’t book again.

- Sam, March 2024

We are sorry that you where disappointed with your stay. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. The Carbis Bay Holidays Office is open 9-5.30, Monday to Saturday and can be reached on 01736 630015. We hope you will reconsider booking with us. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

“This was our second visit to the property so we obviously love it.”

Perfectly positioned for what we wanted, visiting the beautiful Carbis Bay beach and StIves. The only draw back for my partner is the sloping ceiling as he is very tall, also the flights of stairs were more difficult this year ( age is not kind) We had to move the bed to retrieve a dropped item and found a lot of dust etc. However the rest of apartment was spotless.

- Christine, September 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased that you love the property! We are sorry that you found some dust, we will pass this onto the housekeeper, however we are glad the rest of the apartment was spotless! Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
MYA July 2023

“Apartment was lovely my only complaints would be we were not advised there would be no cutlery knifes forks etc we assumed as there was everything else we would have those, we had to go buy.”

We also weren’t aware we were on the top floor and have a baby so was pretty difficult to keep getting up and down 3 sets of stairs a lift would’ve been very helpful the room also only had sky light windows which wasn’t great for ventilation or when it rained as couldn’t let any fresh air in.Lastly as a pet friendly accommodation would’ve been better if the sofa in living space was fully leather as they held a dog smell from being soft velvet also had many marks on which didn’t fulfill me with confidence about how clean it was, full leather would’ve been a lot easier to wipe to give confidence of cleanliness. Other then that stay was pleasant

- MYA, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to hear you had a pleasant stay. Sorry to hear you had to go and purchase cutlery, as stated in the property's quick start guide there is a note to state cutlery is to be found in concealed drawers within the drawers of the kitchen. Please note our local office is open Monday- Friday 9am-5:30pm and we will be more than happy to assist with any queries. We will be sure to pass on your feedback regarding the sofa to the owner for their consideration. Many thanks and we hope to welcome you back to again in the future. Kind regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Launa July 2023

“A small flat.”

The pictures were not misleading, but the layout was all wrong. The kitchen area was right in the corner, and I kept banging my head on the ceiling next to the fridge. The floor was dirty and the vacuum cleaner had loads of long hair stuck in it. There were no instructions or user manual for the oven, so I had to download one to work out how to use it. The sofa was dirty and needed cleaning before we sat on it, although to be honest it still looked dirty after that. Overall, some work needs to be done to improve what could be a cosy flat. Not worth what we paid for it.

- Launa, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you found the property not up to our usual standard. Now we are aware, this has been passed onto the housekeeper. We would always like the opportunity to rectify any points so please contact one of the local team on 01736 630015 and we will be able to assist straight away. Thank you again and we hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“Water pressure in the shower was poor and the Wi-Fi rarely work which was particularly annoying on the evenings apart from that it was lovely.”

- Jack, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear that you had a few issues. If you have anything like this during your stay please contact the local office on 01736 630015 option 2, and one of the local team will be able to assist you straight away. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“The instructions on how to entre the property left some room for interpretation.”

Also, the WiFi was not working. The frustration of this came from being unable to restart the router, as this is the most common way of resolving this issue. The guide made it clear that complaints about the WiFi would not be accepted, however I do feel WiFi is now an expected service.

- Jack, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and comments following your stay at The Hideaway. We are saddened to hear you have had some issues with the Wi-Fi but hope you overall still had a lovely stay. As described in the Quick Start Guide of the property we are unfortunately not always able to offer technical support to enable the Wi-fi connection due to the number of third parties involved i.e. Internet Service Provider, British Telecom etc.. Therefore we cannot guarantee that the service will be available at all times. We want to assure you that we would still always do our utmost best to resolve any issues with the Wi-Fi connection if contacted under 01736 630015, Option 2. We have now amended the wording of the arrival description slightly to hopefully rule out any lack of clarity at this point going forward. With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“We had a wonderful stay.”

The property was exceptionally clean and the arrival gifts were much appreciated and a lovely surprise!

Christine July 2022

“Very nice apartment that suited my partner and I and our Springer spaniel well.”

A frying pan and a few more kitchen utensils would have been helpful. Our stay was the week before the heat wave and the apartment was hot so I think the following week would have been unbearable. Generally very happy with our holiday.

- Christine, July 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your feedback, as it is very important to us. We appreciate your comments and will look into the points you have raised to see if there is anything more we can do for guest arriving in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Simon May 2022

“The property is well maintained, very spacious and was spotlessly clean.”

The lounge provided a lovely relaxing area with comfy settees and a large tv, especially after some long walks! The kitchen was well equipped for our stay and the coffee machine was an added bonus as was the complimentary welcome pack, local apple juice, biscuits, milk and chocolates, what a lovely touch! The bed was super comfy, and the linen of a high standard.Perhaps more storage in the bedroom would be my only suggestion. The bathroom was of high spec and again spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend this apartment and Carbis Bay Holidays as they also provide a great service and quick to respond to any questions.

- Simon, May 2022

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

The property

The Hideaway is a contemporary second-floor apartment in Cornwall's fabulous town, Carbis Bay.

The apartment is a great location for a romantic break, accommodating one canine friend, whilst being close to the beach, local amenities, and attractions along the Cornish coast.

Climb the stairs to the second floor of this lovely apartment building, where you can make yourself at home; sloping ceilings, eaves, and Velux windows provide a charming room, with white walls and minimal décor for a sophisticated finish.

Before a day walking along the coast, prepare in the open-plan living space with a hot coffee from the coffee machine, or set the dining table in the evening and rustle up an easy meal in the kitchen area, which includes a fridge with freezer box with mini electric oven combination with microwave and a two ring hob.

The Hideaway offers a Smart TV, Speakers, and a Playstation 4 for evening entertainment; host a game night or relax on the sofa with a movie.

Wake up in the light and airy king-size bedroom, which features plenty of storage space and a wall-mounted TV, ideal for lazy mornings spent under the blankets watching your favourite shows.

While getting ready for the day in the en-suite shower room with a spacious walk-in shower, warm your towel on the heated towel rail for extra comfort.

The Hideaway, located just outside of Carbis Bay's town centre, is a great place to stay for a self-catering holiday with necessary services nearby, such as a convenience store, restaurants, and friendly bars.

Pack your towels and sunscreen and head to Carbis Bay Beach for some sunbathing, reading, or, for the more daring, sea kayaking or paddle boarding.

It's simple to travel further afield from The Hideaway thanks to great rail and bus connections!

Visit the popular seaside town of St Ives for boat tours across pristine waters to Seal Island, stunning beaches along the gorgeous Cornish coastline, and amazing art in Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.

Historians should travel south to Marizion, where St Michael's Mount, with its magnificent mediaeval fortress and wonderful gardens, can be found across Mount's Bay, or stay in town for fish and chips on the beach and a stroll down the high street.

If miles of soft sand are your idea of paradise, head north to Gwithian for a selection of charming seaside cafés in a picturesque village ideal for wildlife enthusiasts; St Gothian Sands and National Trust Godrevy offer headland trails, breath-taking views of cliffs, and the 19th-century Godrevy lighthouse, which sits out at sea on an uninhabited rocky islet.

The Hideaway is the ideal location for a romantic getaway for two, surrounded by Cornwall's history, culture, and breathtaking nature.

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.
