“The property is nicely furnished and it is well equipped.”

The owners have clearly sought to address the requirements of their guests. The view from the property is magnificent. For those who are not as agile as we once were care is needed to access the property

“The apartment was lovely and the view amazing.”

We had everything that you could possibly need. Really outstanding and the train which was only a few minutes walk away that took you into St Ives was the icing on the cake. Definitely would recommend

John August 2024

“Delightful apartment with incredible sea view about 5 mins from beach.”

Very well appointed and will definitely be coming back. The only thing I’d improve is the main bed mattress was very soft (a matter of taste, I know). We stayed with our 2 teenage kids and we all loved this holiday- great surf lessons for the kids in St Ives and plenty to do locally when weather poorer.

“We loved the view over the bay!”

The flat is really nice and had everything you need. We were completely satisfied and had great holidays there. Its only a short way to the beach, the train station is nearby and the coast path is running directly in front of the house. Just perfect!

- Beate, July 2024

Really pleased you enjoyed our accommodation and had a good holiday! We try to provide all we can and keep the apartment as clean and comfortable as possible! Property Owner

Laura June 2024

“Such a lovely property and the view is amazing!”

Much time spent with tea or wine watching the ever changing view as the weather was a bit changeable. The property is very well equipped with everything you could need and is very spacious and well furnished. The only complaint is not about the property itself but that the full description of the size of the garage parking is hidden at the bottom of the listing. It would be better if it could be in with the property description I missed this vital information and we arrived with a roof box and could not fit in. The top box had to be removed as by the very nature of the area there is no other parking. This did make for hard work but made up for by the view! I only found the details when looking later. Apart from this a lovely property in a beautiful area with so much to see and do.

Jackie June 2024

“Very comfortable, clean and well equipped with everything we could possibly need.”

Of course the wonderful views across the sea to St Ives was the highlight, an ever changing vista that it was hard to tear yourself away from. The proximity to the train and coastal path an added bonus. Thank you

Jane May 2024

“Excellent homely spacious property.”

Had everything needed for our stay. Appreciated the instruction book for appliances etc. Beautiful views. We were lucky to spot porpoise in the bay and we had our very own Kestrel display. Stunning. Good location for local eateries in walking distance and great base for exploring the area. The only down side was having to leave. Would definitely like to return.

We are pleased that you had a good holiday and look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warmest Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Marie April 2024

“A lovely, clean and well equipped flat with the most stunning view over Carbis Bay towards St Ives.”

We were blessed with a fab week weather-wise and the electric radiators kept the evening chill off nicely. The walk to/from the bay is down/up a very steep hill, although there's is a little parking at the bottom. There's a train station a couple of minutes walk away where you can catch a train in to St Ives for £1 every half hour-ish. The same GWR train goes past the end of the garden. We rode this the 10 min ride to St Erth's & back, lovely coastal scenery. The bedrooms are comfy with a hairdryer in each room. The king-size bed fitted sheet & mattress protector aren't deep enough and kept pinging off the corners in the night, as reported in an earlier review. The quilts were a little too heavy for us, but little niggles. There's zero wifi or data signal in the double room. All other areas are fine. The sofa looks nice but isn't the most comfortable for lounging and watching the view from the huge window. However, it was a great place to stay and we'd certainly return. As described, there are steep steps down to the flat and down to the coastal path/train station, so bear in mind if mobility isn't great. Sadly, there was no visitor book for us to look through, we enjoy seeing previous holiday makers' recommendations of things to do, place to eat etc. Please consider this going forward?

Anne February 2024

“A wonderful appartment.”

Fantastic views in an amazing setting. Our week here has been the perfect escape to recuperate after a stay in hospital. Would have given full marks across the board if not for the low settee which we found rather uncomfortable and difficult to get back up from. The fitted bed sheets were not deep enough so tended to slip off during the night. But everything else was spot on and we can’t wait to return.

- Anne, February 2024
Mark February 2024

“Stunning views over Carbis Bay.”

It was fantastic to see dolphins and seals twice throughout our stay. The accommodation was very nice. A very well kept apartment. Only minor fault was the frying pan set which could do with update. Nice to have the train station less than 5 minutes walk down the path. Easy access to St Ives. We liked it that much we booked for next year.

- Mark, February 2024

Thank you for your excellent feedback. Sorry about the frying pans these will be replaced on the next changeover! Property Owner
Michelle January 2024

“This apartment is placed in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and we very lucky to experience it for two weeks.”

The access to the coastal path, a train that is very inexpensive, takes you straight into St Ives and a central location to reach all the favourite locations in South West Cornwall. The apartment had a lovely feeling and was left very clean for our arrival. The living room window is the show stopper. Even on rainy days you can enjoy the beauty of the sea, local fisherman and the beach. I would 100% recommend this apartment no matter what time of year. We will be back.

- Michelle, January 2024

Thank you very much for your comments and leaving the apartment tidy. You are welcome to come and stay again. Property Owner

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.
