September 2024

“A lovely property which comfortably slept 6.”

Very well equipped and immaculately clean. The property is just a short walk to Carbis Bay station, has a beautiful beach down the hill and is a perfect base to explore West Cornwall. I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Cheryl September 2024

“Excellent location and a fabulous spacious, very well equipped bungalow.”

Comfortable beds and very dog friendly! We would love to stay here again. Great access for the branch line train to St Ives. One thing for other guests … do your homework on dog friendly Cornish beaches. Seasonal restrictions apply and Carbis bay is one of them!! So the beach in walking distance to the property is restricted.

- Cheryl, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see that you had a good holiday. Porthkidney Beach is dog friendly all year around. Other beaches have restrictions on dogs, this infomation can be found on Cornwall Council's website and we also reccomend looking into this before your stay. We hope to have the oppotuninty to welcome you all back again in the near future. Kindest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Christine August 2024

“The property is beautiful.”

Unfortunately, whilst the inside was spotless, the terrace and garden hadn't had any attention- there was an empty bacon packet in the garden and the terrace was full of sand (the rattan furniture and sand on the glass balcony). There was also half the cushions missing for the furniture which made it uncomfortable to sit on.

- Christine, August 2024

Thank you for choosing to stay at Penlan. We're very pleased the bungalow was spotless on arrival. There are two large storage boxes under the decking with the cushions in; unfortunately it sounds like you only located one of them. Apologies for the sand, your feedback is valuable to us. We hope you enjoyed your week and had a good journey home. Best regards from all at Penlan Property Owner
Suzanne August 2024

“We throughly enjoyed our stay at Penlan.”

The house is well kept and comfortable. It takes about 5 minutes to walk to the train station and about 10 minutes to walk to the beach. It is very steep walking to and from to the beach so something to be mindful of. Make sure you get some fish and chips from Beck's which is the local, very nice. I would stay here again, thank you.

- Suzanne, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to se that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warm regards Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Michael June 2024

“Penlan is very well situated for our needs, it is furnished to a high standard and has everything we needed.”

. The internal layout is well thought out and the external decking is a great place to relax on a nice day. The garden is very secure for our dog and access to the property and parking for two cars is very easy. This is the second time the family have stayed there and we have no hesitation recommending it and the service provided by Sykes.

- Michael, June 2024

Thank you for you feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your holiday. We hope we will see you again in the future. Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holiday team. Property Owner
Lyn May 2024

“We had an amazing stay at Penlan.”

... It was spotless and so comfortable... It was like being at home .. the owners have thought of everything from the outdoor areas and the quality of the interior... We have stayed at other holiday homes that were no where near the luxury of Penlan. Thank you so much... Keep up the excellent work. We will be back.

- Lyn, May 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience at Penlan. It’s wonderful to hear that you found the accommodation spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed. The attention to detail from the owners, both in the outdoor areas and the quality of the interior, clearly made a significant impact on your stay. Your feedback highlights the exceptional standards maintained at Penlan, setting it apart from other holiday homes. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Deborah March 2024

“Excellent accomodation beautifully decorated and excellent facilities and kitchen items.”

Very spacious for 6 and 2 dogs. Only problem was smart heating that kept resetting that couldnt overide making it very hot if wasnt in or during the night. We turned rads off in bedrooms as never have heating on during night. Plus if was sorted would save money for owner. Apart from that fantastic. Nicest place stayed. Son left blue tooth headphones under pillow in twin room nearest to door. Have they been found ?happy to pay for postage.

- Deborah, March 2024

Good morning. Thank you for the lovely feedback, we're pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Penlan over Easter. The headphones have been found and are with CBH to post back. We also turn the radiators off at night as it's not a cold property and does warm up quickly. We'll take a look at the smart settings. We hope you had a good journey home. Best wishes, all at Penlan and Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“A lovely property in an ideal location, very clean & comfortable.”

Everything in the property was good quality. A couple of small niggles :- not much of a welcome pack, one pint of milk & a small bag of chocolate drops, we usually have a lot more in other places and we’ve stayed at a lot. The moss & leaves outside were everywhere and I was clearing the steps & path regularly. I know it’s February but it just would have been nice on arrival if the steps had been cleared. One last thing, on arrival the property was very cold & it would have been a lot more welcoming if the heating had been on.

- Julie, February 2024

It sounds like you had a generally positive experience, but we understand how those small details can make a difference. Your feedback is valuable so thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Warm regards The Carbis Bay Holiday Team. Property Owner

Diane October 2023

“We could not fault the property.”

So comfortable, we felt at home within an hour of arriving. It had everything we needed. Very spacious,beautifully furnished, and the location as lovely and quiet. Our only gripe was the very steep hill between the bungalow and the beach.

- Diane, October 2023
Miranda October 2023

“We have stayed in many Skyes properties over the years and visit Cornwall every year.”

This was our first stay at Penlan and it didn't disappoint. The property is very well equipped, comfortable beds, fantastic showers and plenty of room. Due to the close proximity to the railway line we also made good use of that going to St Ives. We would usually walk there takes about an hour then get the train home. We would highly recommend.

- Miranda, October 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience at Penlan. It’s wonderful to hear that your first stay there met your expectations, especially given your extensive experience with Skyes properties. The well-equipped amenities, comfortable beds, and fantastic showers clearly contributed to a pleasant stay. It’s also great to know that the proximity to the railway line added convenience to your trips to St Ives. Your recommendation is highly valued and will surely help others considering a stay at Penlan. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Cornwall! Warm regards The Carbis Bay Holiday Team. Property Owner
Thomas August 2023

“We had an enjoyable week, the accommodation was everything we wanted and more.”

Great location for exploring the area, minutes to the beautiful beach. The welcome gifts were much appreciated, Willow and Mabel loved the doggy treats too!!

- Thomas, August 2023
Charlotte July 2023

“Property was clean and tidy upon arrival - modern facilities and nice furnishings.”

Great location to stay - beach only 5 mins walk away, train station into St Ives also 5 mins walk away which helps with the hassle of trying to park in a very busy St Ives!

- Charlotte, July 2023

Thank you for you feedback we are glad to hear the property was clean and tidy upon arrival, we hope you enjoyed your holiday, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Michael June 2023

“We have stayed in many bungalows, apartments, and cottages in and around St Ives and Carbis Bay over many years.”

Penlan is undoubtedly one of the best, if not, the best we have stayed in. It was very clean, had all the equipment we needed, the facilities were excellent and the location was good. The furniture and beds were of the best quality and very comfortable. We highly recommend this property and the instructions and support from Sykes cottages.

- Michael, June 2023
Stephen June 2023

Jane March 2023

“This place provided everything we needed and more.”

The beds were really comfy and we all enjoyed our welcome pack , Benson especially enjoyed his biscuits and outside was really safe for him to roam about. We will definately be coming back and have already recommended it to friends. It was an added bonus to have sky which we watched on the comfy settees. It was really near the station where we caught the train into St Ives.

- Jane, March 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you and your dog Benson enjoyed staying at Penlan so much that you would like to return and have also recommended staying at Penlan to your friends.

“Penlan is one of the cleanest holiday lets we have ever stayed in.”

It was just perfect, warm and cosy but with plenty of room and ample facilities for 4 adults, 2 children and a little dog. Highly recommended.

Barbara February 2023

“As with others reviewing this wonderful property, we were blown away by how beautifully appointed, equipped and spotless it was.”

A lovely welcome pack of milk and Cornish goodies included - even hand-made dog biscuits ! Good position too - just wish I'd found the large fields with sea views just up the road from the house sooner in the week (it was quite a long, steep road down to the beach otherwise) - great for the morning dog walk. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

- Barbara, February 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! Thank you so much again for your comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Shelley January 2023

“We had a very comfortable stay at Penlan.”

The property has everything you need & is in a great location for accessing everything on foot. It’s definitely a great choice if you want to take your dog on holiday with you - lots of fantastic walks on the doorstep & the beach is just down the road too. Just one minor issue during our stay - we didn’t find the front door very easy to lock & we were given a bent key initially. This is definitely something that needs to be looked into for future guests - especially as the lock turns, you think you’ve locked the door but you haven’t. This didn’t impact on our holiday however as we were able to lock the door eventually. We definitely recommend the property. Thanks for a lovely stay.

- Shelley, January 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for bringing the the lock of the front door to our attention. We want to assure you that we will have a close look into this. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Abby November 2022

“Absolutely fabulous property.”

We felt at home immediately. It had everything we needed for our family of 5 which included 3 young adult children and our dog. The location was perfect for the beach which our dog loved and being out of season had no restrictions. We often come to the area and will definitely be back to this property. Thank you for making our holiday a fantastic experience.

- Abby, November 2022

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

Michelle September 2022

“The property was perfect for us on many levels and beautifully presented.”

Everything has been catered for with an extremely well stocked kitchen, The cleanliness was second to none. Given our previous experience at another Carbis Bay property last year, it was pleasant to see the cleanliness issues had been addressed. The location is perfect. However, we knew the area hence why we selected this property. Unfortunately our stay was left a bit somber due to a leak in the roof which occurred early in to our stay. Given the leak was within the cupboard which housed the main consumer unit, this did cause concern. Carbis Bay representative attended the same day and a roofer was called the following, who confirmed there is a hole in the felt roof which in turn was causing the leak. Due to the weather, heavy rain. the leak did become worse and as such we no longer felt secure within the property and left a few days before our holiday was due to end. We have had no follow up from Carbis Bay since they acknowledged us vacating the property. I do hope this matter was addressed whilst the property was empty.

- Michelle, September 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Penlan and we are pleased that you found the property perfect on many levels, beautifully presented and that you also appreciated the well stocked kitchen and the cleanliness of the property. We are very sorry to hear of the problem you experienced with the leak from the roof into the cupboard and that although they attended immediately the roofer was unable to repair the issue at the time but confirmed that it was safe. I understand that we have been in continued communication with you during and after your stay. Thank you for your continued support, Th Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“An excellent property in a lovely location only issue was the shower in the main bathroom it had a mind of its own in relation to the temperature!”

Andrew May 2022

“Very impressed with the bungalow, very clean and welcoming, perfect description of the property, everything you could need was there and more, great outdoor space.”

One small issue with locking / unlocking front door, not a problem as able to use the back door instead just as easily.

- Andrew, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you found everything you needed and more. Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Joanne May 2022

“Penlan is a lovely bungalow in an ideal location for accessing Carbis bay beach and the south west coast walk into St Ives.”

The house itself is beautiful with all the facilities you could need and was spotlessly clean. We had a brilliant stay and would love to return Thank you Carbis Bay holidays!

- Joanne, May 2022
Kirsty April 2022

“Great property!”

Great location! We loved that there was a train station so close to the house to get into st ives (3min train journey) for £1 each way. My only criticism (if you can call it that!) is I couldn’t find a pizza cutter, there may be one so apologies if there is but if not may be worth getting one! Thanks for a great stay!

- Kirsty, April 2022

Thank you for the lovely review Kirsty; we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Penlan. There should've been a pizza cutter, we'll ask our Housekeeper to have a look at the next changeover. Property Owner
Sam November 2021

“This was totally a home from home experience.”

Had an absolutely fabulous holiday and will definitely be using Sykes again and very likely we’ll make a return visit to Penlan. I cannot rate it highly enough; on every level.

- Sam, November 2021
Julie-ann October 2021

“Absolutely fabulous bungalow.”

We loved the interior decor, which was very stylish whilst also being homely and comfortable. The beds were super comfy with lovely linen. Loved the pictures throughout the house, really gave the property great character. Perfect off road parking & plenty of safe / secure outdoor garden space for children & dogs. Very convenient location for beaches, the train station and St Ives. Carbis Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been to in the UK. We would highly recommend this property. Every little detail has been thought of, we had the best time - thank you Penlan for having us!!!

- Julie-ann, October 2021
Rachel October 2021

“Loved our stay in Penlan.”

We took a risk when booking, as the bungalow was being renovated at the time so there were very little photos to see but we are so glad we took that risk- it was beautiful! So many lovely touches which made our stay feel very homely. Amazing that it was dog friendly - we had the best week exploring all the breathtaking beaches around the area - the bungalow is in a fabulous location. The only negative is that our week went way too quickly!

- Rachel, October 2021

Dear Miss Hemmings, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback to us. Its lovely to here that you feel the 'risk' was worth it. Penlan is a lovely house and we would most definitely agree, it really does have that modern homely feel. The location is wonderful for those dog walks, exploring the coast and is ideal for accessing the rest of Cornwall. We sincerely hope you had a lovely week and we can only recommend you come back and continue the enjoyment you had; look forward to inviting you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Susan September 2021

“Well we feel really blessed to have been able to stay in Penlan.”

It was our 40th wedding anniversary. We had to arrive at midnight due to a work commitment and the pint of milk in the fridge was most welcome. The local team were fantastic as we had to take receipt of a covid day two test at the carbis bay offices. They co ordinated brilliantly. We have booked again already for next year with Caribs bay holidays which we have used many times before. Thanks again for a great holiday

- Susan, September 2021

Dear Mrs Ainsworth, Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback for your recent stay at Penlan. Its lovely to hear you had an enjoyable stay, and we hope to be able to invite you back in the near future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Robert August 2021

“The cleanliness of the property was no where near satisfactory and very dusty indeed handfuls of dust infact in every room ( I have photos of this when we arrived and had to clean lots of the property before we could unpack) medication ie tablet was found in children’s room which is unacceptable and proves that cleaning just wasn’t good enough even though you have added 2 further hours since Covid ( delaying our check in time) to allow for a more thorough clean?”

The fault with the hot water was sorted 4 days after arrival but for a property of that standard it wasn’t really good enough at least twice both myself and my son nearly scolded ourselves with the hot tap in the bathroom. The issue with the wooden floor was also terrible and several times it was a tripping hazard especially for my young children again not good enough especially for such a new property. Overall good location but disappointed with the standard of property especially when we have stayed with Carbis Bay holidays on many occasions

- Robert, August 2021

Dear Mr Lunn, Firstly, we would like to thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, Carbis Bay Holidays weren’t made aware of the cleaning issues during your stay, had you reported these issues to us during your stay we would have done our utmost to resolve them for you as quickly as possible. Once again we would like to apologies that you didn't feel that you could have approached us during your stay to have given us the opportunity to resolve said cleaning issues, we would have been happy to enter the property while you were out and about for the day, alternatively when you were in situ for you to discuss the findings if you had felt necessary. In regard to the hot water, we are of the understanding that this was resolved at the earliest convenience and we can only apologise that you encountered this issue. I would also like to assure you that the flooring in the hallway was repaired shortly after your stay. If you have any concerns in the future, you are very welcome to give us a call in the office on 01736 630015 and press option 2. We offer a fully managed service for the owner and are also here to support the housekeeping team who do a fantastic job under difficult circumstances, equally here at Carbis Bay Holidays, we want every guest to experience our high standards and we find it terribly difficult to put things right for your stay after departure. Sincerely hope to invite you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Patricia August 2021

“We had a lovely week’s holiday in beautiful accommodation and Carbis Bay was breathtaking.”

The train into St Ives was very welcome as it meant we didn’t need the car.

- Patricia, August 2021

Dear Mrs Connor, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. Its lovely yo hear you had a lovely stay. The train from Carbis Bay has to be one of the most beautiful ways to see the coastline. Sincerely hope to invite you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Leanne July 2021

“Accommodation was beautifully decorated & in a great location.”

We love st ives & carbis bay. I was slightly disappointed by the lack of response to email enquiries from carbis bay holidays prior to our visit. We had a couple of issues with the accommodation- flooring was damaged meaning we had to be vigilant in watching the children when walking in that area, we personally think small things like providing toilet rolls & refuse bags would help.

- Leanne, July 2021

Dear Leanne, Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback. Firstly, its lovely to hear that you love St Ives and Carbis Bay, we are very lucky. I echo my email from earlier; please accept our apologies regarding the communication with us here at Carbis Bay Holidays. We hope to invite you back in the future. Kindest Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner
Carly July 2021

“My family and I had a fabulous stay at Penlan during a very hot week in July.”

The house has been beautifully renovated recently and feels very relaxed and calming when you arrive. I loved the layout and seating areas which are really good for families and lots of space too! The welcome pack and photo album helps you to settle in and learn about the area. Our main feedback is about the garden, we would have loved there to be a BBQ as the disposable ones are not very effective or safe. But we've got our fingers crossed that one may appear by the time we go back next year, as we've already booked again for August 2022! Carbis Bay is a beautiful area with links to surrounding towns on the train being really quick and avoiding having to keep driving everywhere. I've reccomended this home to lots of family and friends already.

- Carly, July 2021

Dear Carly, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are so happy you had such a lovely time and hope you made lots of family memories. Regarding the BBQ, unfortunately the owners are not looking at providing a BBQ but there is a Quick Start Guide in the property to say that guests are welcome to use disposable BBQ's but only in certain areas of the property. We look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon! Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

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.
