“Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Lanyon and would love to stay again in the future.”

The property is stunning, very spacious with outstanding views. The location is also perfect- easy walking distance to wonderful beaches, shops/cafes and train line into St. Ives. It was clean and tidy with great living space to unwind after our busy days. There were a few minor issues which didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment but would make the property even better, these include: updating the bathrooms and having a minimum of 2 showers.

There were a few minor issues which didn’t detract from our overall enjoyment but would make the property even better, these include: updating the bathrooms and having a minimum of 2 showers. Also getting rid of the post in the driveway as it restricts manoeuvrability for larger cars. Thank you so much for hosting us.

“No light in the downstairs shower room .”

I am disabled and found using it even with a torch balanced on the loo very uncomfortable. Toilet seats are broken and swivel . Mattresses too soft . Kitchen good except -no microwave - really big omission . Sofas /chairs in lounge look good but are hard and uncomfortable - general decor in lounge is wierd - painting of a man having his throat slit ? We found dog poo on the lawn - previous guests no doubt but still bad news for kiddies . The drive has a concrete post probably old gate - but i nearly reversed into it a couple of times -drive is tight for three cars and we had to keep reversing in and out to let the other guests out .

- Robert, September 2024

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to inform you that the light in the downstairs showerroom and the toilet seats have now all been fixed. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. Warm regards Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“This property needs a lot of updating.”

The bathroom and shower room were very dated and not particularly clean, there was a lot of hair in the shower room ( disgusting)No microwave and the toaster was absolute rubbish. Two chairs in the garden were broken so only 4 chairs for an 8 person house, the hot tub took ages to heat and we spent a lot of money on logs, kindling and firelighters. One shower for a 8 persons house , really??? The beds were nice, the towels were lovely and the kitchen fully equipped., other than the above. The view was amazing but the grass needed a good cut and the garden needed tending. The previous occupiers left loads of rubbish in all the bins which meant we had nowhere to put ours. We would not return to this property.

Nicola September 2024

“We loved the property’s location & layout, the weather was amazing and we found the house comfortable, slight gripes no microwave, toaster useless & the beds way too soft for us.”

The only major let down was cleanliness, id describe this properly as surface cleaned at best, on arrival the downstairs shower room was filthy! The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the floor was thick in hair, we pushed the twin beds together and underneath was grim, this is a real let down, I had to go out buy cleaning products and clean, which I definitely would not expect to do, who ever Is responsible for this job needs a lesson in cleaning because it’s a real let down to such a lovely place. We enjoyed our stay we would definitely return if the property was deep cleaned, had I have paid the prices in high season then I’d be really annoyed at how dirty places were! The woodwork throughout the house absolutely needs painting which looks tatty and lets the house down.

“Unlikely to book again.”

The house overall was adequate, over priced. Bathroom and shower room need updating also the furniture very tired and a strange odour in the dining area.

It is in an amazing location and the kids really enjoyed the toys. There is plenty to keep the family occupied and we will definitely be returning. The property has been well thought out and has something for everyone. Thank you for a memorable break away!

“Great location and view over the Bay, 5 minutes walking distance from the train station with easy access to St Ives.”

Before diving into a bit of detail I would like to say my family and I had a lovely holiday at the Lanyon and made some great memories. On booking there were no reviews as it was a new listing at the time so we took a risk and overall we were very happy. The walk to the nearest dog friendly beach takes you down an undulating coast path/track which is challenging, lots of steps and takes about 10 minutes once you cross the train track. But the reward once down on the beach is great, a very nice sandy beach and no restrictions for the dog. We stayed there for several hours on one of our days. Carbis bay is a lovely sandy beach but down a steep road. There is a hotel/bar where you can have a drink or two which was nice. The beach has restriction on the time dogs are allowed, I think 10am-6pm (but pls check) The house is big and spacious, but perhaps could do with some updating in the main bathroom and shower room. All works perfectly fine but just looked a little dated. No TV in three of the bedrooms, but as we were out and about most of the time not too much of an issue. Doors: a few of the interior doors did not open or close easily, you had to apply some force and this created a loud noise each time, not so much of a problem in the day, but at night was just not great. (easily fixed I am sure) The garden is a big space which is great for the dog, but the lawn needs cutting and grass needs some attention. Also need some better quality outside furniture, what is supplied seems very much like an after thought. Also a couple of sun loungers would be great. We liked the idea of the Wood burning hot tub in advance, but there is no wood supplied and the reality once there is it all seemed like a lot of effort. Would strongly recommend installing an electric hot tub in the future, as the view is great. We had two cars, one being a largish 4x4. The driveway to the house had an old cement post to one side of the entrance which was more of a hindrance/hazard and would recommend this be removed. The main sitting room/tv room is a nice large space with comfortable seating and open fire, I would recommend they remove the main painting opposite the TV as it depicts somebody being beheaded!, not great for young kids.. St Ives: Take the rain as parking in St Ives can be problematic, it is one stop on the train. We enjoyed Cintra as a fish/tapas type restaurant overlooking the harbour. Very fresh and tasty. I hope this helps, all in all the house and location worked great for us . (3 adults, 2 children (11 & 14) and a Cockapoo dog)

“Comfortable and spacious house with a good garden and lovely views.”

Fantastic position close to Porthkidney sands where our dog enjoyed his days immensely. Fairly well appointed although a house at this price point should have a BBQ available for use. Some of the listed facilities (‘outside shower’ and ‘coffee machine’ ) are a bit misleading - hose with sprinkler attachment and cafitiere would be more accurate. Bigger bath towels would be better. All in all though, a nice place to stay.

The property

Lanyon sits in a prime elevated position overlooking beautiful and secluded Porthkidney Beach, Hayle Estuary and the 3 miles of stunning, golden sands towards Godrevy Lighthouse in Cornwall.

This well-styled, detached house boasts four bedrooms for eight guests, with a large garden, hot tub and superb seaward views.

Park on the driveway and enter your new abode to find the welcoming interior, a spacious contemporary retreat ideal for families and friends.

From the hallway, the large sitting room boasts an open fire for those relaxing evenings, whilst the front views capture the beach and seascape around beautiful Carbis Bay.

The large, sophisticated kitchen is well equipped for cookery creations, with a breakfast bar plus access to the rear garden.

Eat in the separate dining room and recount the day's adventures, savouring precious family memories being built.

Four superbly presented bedrooms await, with pristine linens and sumptuous throws; choose from a super-king, two king size beds or a twin room.

The twin room is suited for both adults and children, and there are toys for the little ones.

The house has a fully equipped children's playroom with a wide selection of toys and games to entertain the important little members of the family.

Let your little ones dive into a huge magical play tent with puzzles and books, or explore the world of cookery at the play kitchen.

They can practice their screw skills at the construction table, race cars on the ramp or build an imaginary new world with the bountiful trunks of toys for all ages.

There is also a full library and games available for the adults in the house.

With extra TVs and three bedrooms with sea views, all your guests will be catered for, serviced by two smart bathrooms.

The large garden at the rear and side is enclosed, with a lawn and patio with garden furniture for sunshine meals.

Pop the bubbly or sip a cup of tea with views from the garden, or enjoy the wood-fired hot tub, perfect for two against the ocean backdrop.

The golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach are within a short downhill stroll.

This Blue Flag-awarded beach is super sandy for leisurely walks along the shore with your four-legged friend, with distant views to Godrevy lighthouse.

Enjoy swimming and watersports in the azure waters or discover the coastal path around the bay.

Locally, you’ll find restaurants and eateries such as La Casita and The Gannet close by.

Within a short walk, you’ll also find the food shop for any provisions you might need during your stay.

Head into the hot spot of St Ives and spend a day at one of the four stunning beaches, for surfing and sandcastles.

Harbour Beach is dotted with little boats, where you can take a fishing or leisure trip.

The characterful lanes have an abundance of independent shops and galleries, cafes for Cornish Cream Teas, eateries offering locally freshly caught seafood and international cuisine restaurants.

Home to The Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, there is something for everyone.

A little further afield, take a drive to St Michaels Mount in Marazion, Pendennis Castle in Falmouth or rugged Lands End.

Lanyon is a truly special holiday retreat you’ll want to return to again and again.

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.
