“Superb stay at The View.”

Perfect location opposite Portminster beach with an easy stroll to St Ives town centre and harbour. The apartment was spotless, extremely comfortable, very well equipped and definitely surpassed our expectations. Thank you for contributing to a wonderful week in Cornwall.

Elizabeth November 2024

“We absolutely love The View, it has everything you could ever wish for, to enable you to have a wonderful holiday.”

The location is perfect, you can easily walk to the beach, town or train station in minutes, which is something that we love the most. The apartment is incredibly comfortable and the patio area is great, especially for our fur baby. The internet is also much better (thank you) so I can easily work from here when I have too. We’ve already booked for next year and we can’t wait x

“We absolutely loved our stay at The View in August.”

A fabulous apartment with a short stroll to St. Ives Town Centre ... and even shorter to Porthminster Beach, which allowed our little dog to have fun before 10am and after 6pm, which suited us fine. Lovely touches at the apartment which were a big plus for us - the Bose speaker in the lounge, gorgeous Ritual reed sticks which smelled divine on entering the apartment, Tassimo coffee machine and really useful little baskets dotted in the bedroom and hallway for shoes and bits and bobs. Balcony furniture very comfy and the whole apartment was so well equipped we only ate out twice. We did go to the Harbour hotel to take advantage of the Pizza offer but were told not doing it that day. We still had lunch there and the food was lovely and we got our 20% off with the spa fob. Public transport was fabulous and surprisingly cheap, lots of regularly run buses to various places and the Open Top Lands End Coaster was a great trip. We also travelled to different places by train and it was all very easy on the Trainline app. A huge plus was the lockable parking space - although not directly by the apartment it was only up the road so no big issue for us.

- Lois, August 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at THe View and very much hope you will consider returning in the future . Aaron and Jackie (owners) Property Owner

“Great accommodation only dissapointments were bathroom sink blocked and no freebies , not even a pint of milk !”

Apart from that it was a great stay , thanks .

- Ian, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you had a great stay overall. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the blocked bathroom sink and the lack of complimentary items. Please note that we do provide a welcome pack which includes tea, coffee, milk, sugar, branded chocolate buttons, and a jute bag. I will ensure this information is passed along to the relevant team to enhance future experiences. Warmest regards The Carbis Bay Holiday Team. Property Owner
Andrew June 2024

“The apartment was well furnished and well equipped with top quality items and brands.”

The bed was comfy with a topper but we noted that only one pillow each side had a protector and there was no mattress protector over the topper. Lovely large towels with an extra bath towel each. No bathrobes which were in a photograph of the property we recall. Unfortunately the double reclining sofa ceased operation in the reclined position necessitating a call to the maintenance line. During the call we mentioned that the Tassemo coffee machine wouldn’t work as it needed descaling (we ascertained this from the instruction book but didn’t want to do this ourselves). Fab large terrace with ample patio furniture but unfortunately it didn’t look like the terrace had been cleaned. The property is set on a busy road with buses, coaches etc accelerating to get up the hill. Not overly peaceful to sit out during the day really. The view is a little limited by the trees/shrubs opposite. The owner has thought of everything with sun loungers provided but the terrace doesn’t get the sun in the afternoon which was probably when we would have used them. When we were sat early morning on the terrace a resident in the apartment above must have washed their terrace as water poured down just behind my wife. Another resident from above was witnessed shaking sand from their beach bag over the terrace - not great. The apartment is very well situated with a 10 minute walk into town. Less able should note that this is up a prolonged incline back. As keen gym goers access to the gym and swimming pool/hot tub really was a bonus. Overall a lovely stay in a great property with just a few niggles.

- Andrew, June 2024

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback after your recent stay at The View. We are so pleased to hear how comfy and high quality you found the bed and accompanying towels. We do apologise that there were no bathrobes provided for your stay. Should you have contacted the office to report this, we would have gladly arranged for these to be provided. We thank you for bringing the coffee machine and sofa points to our attention. We are pleased to confirm that they are in the process of being fixed as a matter of urgency. The owners have been in speaking with the neighbouring residents to ensure these instances do not occur again, and we would like to pass on our apologies. The close to centre proximity of the property as well as the additional amenities such as the spa facilities are a bonus and we are so glad that you managed to utilise them during your stay, We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The View in the near future. Kindest regards, The Team at Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner
Joanne June 2024

“This was our second visit to The View.”

We had loved it last year. This year was disappointing. The cleaning was not the same standard as last year. The freezer had something spilled on the door and food was left inside. The work surfaces and table looked greasy. One of the reclining chairs didn’t work. There were no robes this year and the welcome pack was not as good. The balcony was quite dirty and the cushions had to be cleaned of bird droppings before use. The upstairs apartment was noisy and kept waking us up in the night. We ended up leaving on Friday as we had had enough. Overall we were very disappointed and haven’t booked again.

- Joanne, June 2024

Thank you for leaving feedback after your stay. We are disappointed to hear of the cleanliness issues you have raised but would like to assure you that these have been passed onto the housekeeper to ensure they are resolved with immediate effect. We cannot see that we were contacted about these issues during your stay, but would like to remind you that we are available in the office from 9am to 5:30pm Monday to Saturday and are always more than happy to help. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The View for a holiday that you love as much as your initial stay. Kind regards, The Team at Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner

“We had a fantastic stay at The View.”

The apartment was extremely clean, it has absolutely everything you need and is in a great location. Just a very short walk into St Ives. Can’t fault anything at all. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Janice May 2024

“Lovely apartment and spotlessly clean.”

The only thing I would have liked is a little hand rail for getting in and out the shower with it being over the bath, I had to hold on to the radiator but that’s an age thing I’m 70. It was great to be able to use the spa in the hotel over the road because we had a couple of rainy days . Would definitely go back but not sure whether I could do all the steps in St Ives again but it is a beautiful place to see.

- Janice, May 2024

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback.We are glad you were also able to enjoy the Harbour Spa too. Property Owner
Sheila April 2024

“Absolutely lovely apartment.”

Everything you could posdibly need and very comfortable. Spotlessly clean and spacious. The beach directly opposite is beautiful and, of course, the view from the apartment is perfect. A short walk into St Ives which is well worth it. We will definitely be back!

- Sheila, April 2024

Elizabeth February 2024

“This is our 2nd visit to this lovely apartment and we absolutely love it.”

We always used to stay in carbis bay but we love being in St Ives and like that you are a little bit out of the town so it’s not to busy. The short walk to the town and the beach is perfect and parking is a real bonus in St Ives. The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need, the bed is super comfy and I love the big bath. The terrace is also great, our little fur baby loves to sit on the terrace and watch the world go by, as do we. My only little niggle (and it’s minor) is the internet, it’s very slow and a bit hit and miss. I’m self employed, so sadly have to still work when I’m on holiday and it proves a little challenging. Plus we couldn’t always watch our Netflix too. We’d love to come for a month in the low season but I don’t think I would manage internet wise. So we’ve booked for 2 weeks in November to see how I get on and then hopefully we can come for a month next year. It’s a real home from home and certainly our happy place. X

- Elizabeth, February 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feed back and for booking to stay with us again . We are looking into the internet issue and hope it will be a better experience for you next time . Jackie (owner) Property Owner
Christopher November 2023

“We found it frustrating as we couldn’t find the property as it wasn’t clearly posted on the building when we arrived, also the toilet was not cleaned properly when we arrived.”

Overall despite the things mentioned the apartment was everything we expected and more , the weather was kind to us despite going in the middle of November and would recommend this property any day of the week . Great view of the beach and plenty of public transport ready available … fantastic ..

- Christopher, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear you found finding the apartment tricky. We do apologies the toilet was not cleaned properly upon your arrival, we will be sure to raise this with the housekeeper. We are pleased to hear the apartment was everything you expected and more. We hope you had a wonderful holiday and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“Uphill distance to parking disappointing.”

Part of the route was unpavemented along a through road. Discount at Harbour hotel a bonus.

- Brian, October 2023
Andy October 2023

“Excellent property that was spotless on arrival.”

A few small gifts left for guests along with milk and artisan dog biscuits. Perfect location just far enough away from the busy streets. Car park is just a short walk away uphill but plenty of room with a lockable post. Everything you will ever need in the well equipped kitchen. Can’t wait to go back.

Elizabeth April 2023

“We have just returned from a perfect stay at ‘The View’ and we had the best week.”

We normally always stay in carbis bay and get the branch line into St Ives, so this is the first time we stayed in St Ives. The location is just perfect, you are a short walk away from the town, which means it’s not as busy near the holiday apartment as the main town but you still only have the same short walk, like you would if you took the train. The apartment was beautiful and so comfortable. Everything was provided that you could think of needing and the bed was super comfy. We have already booked for next year and can’t wait to come back.

- Elizabeth, April 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback and comments following your stay at 'The View'! We are thrilled to hear you had a perfect stay and will be returning. We are looking forward to welcoming you back soon! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

Jane July 2022

“Lovely apartment and well situated for town and beach.”

The terrace is spacious with a view of the sea, although probably not the most private of spaces, as can be viewed from what is quite a busy road. The spa passes were a bonus. Overall, we had a very pleasant week in a comfortable and well equipped space.

Maud May 2022

“The flat is very comfortable and well equipped but the directions to find it need to be updated!”

The large parking area before the flats are best indicator as Harbour Hotel has been renamed! It does feel uncomfortable even to park to unload due to the £100 parking fine notices. The parking space for flat was welcome but it is NOT 5 mins away and it is a steep climb. The flat is on outskirts of St Ives and the climb from town to flat is significant. The Terrace is lovely but there is a busy road outside the flat and from the photo I expected the beach to be closer. The St Ives Hotel said that there is no spa though this was mentioned in information in flat!

- Maud, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear you found the directions hard to follow, we will review them and update. We are pleased to be able to offer a parking space but appreciate it is a little walk away from the apartment. We are pleased to hear you found the apartment comfortable and well equipped. We are always available during your stay for any queries or help. The Spa passes are for the HarSpa at Harbour Hotel, just opposite the apartment. Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Andrew April 2022

“We're just come back from St ives, having stayed at the view chy an Porth flat 8.”

Can't fault anything, apartment was superb everything you could ask for and more(even was given a easter chocolate ,and there was a bag of dog treats too)we would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a perfect stay at St ives. Central for eveything, beaches , train station, views overlooking the sea and central for walking into St ives.booking and everything so easy , definitely got what was shown on sykes cottages .would always choose here when we visit St ives . Thank you for a perfect break we both definitely needed. Weather was lovely too. Definitely a amazing gem to find.

“We had a great holiday at The View.”

Very comfortable apartment, particularly the lounge chair and sofa. The apartment was very clean and well equipped.The parking space was very helpful, we only used the car once, because the apartment is close to the train station we visited Penzance and Hayle by train. We will definitely book The View again, and will recommend to friends and family.

Diane September 2021

“We have stayed at the View before and it’s a superb apartment.”

We have looked to book next year but the huge price increase will mean we won’t be booking. We are now thinking ( sad to say), we won’t be visiting St Ives ( we have stayed in St ives for the last 10 years)! The price of accommodation is now far too high .

- Diane, September 2021

Dear Ms. Clewes, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. In regard to the prices, there has been a huge demand for staycations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance. We hope to invite you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Linda August 2021

“Slow draining wash basin in bathroom got worse over the week bathroom had 2 ceiling down lights with only 1 working these should be attended to before next guests arrival they are both obvious to the housekeeping but ignored we reported before we left in the hope it would be sorted for the next guests.”

We have stayed in this apartment a number of times love the position but unfortunately the massive increase in the price for 2022 is something we do not feel is justified or good value.

- Linda, August 2021

Dear Mr & Mrs Taylor, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. Firstly, we would like to apologise about the slow draining sink and the lights that had bulbs out. Whenever these issues arise during a stay, we endeavor to sort it as quickly and efficiently as possible to cause a little inconvenience as possible. We do understand the point your raised in regard to the housekeeper picking up on the issues, this will be fed back accordingly. In relation to the pricing, we would like to reassure you that the prices are continuously monitored and are reviewed regular, so please don't hesitate to look in the near future to see if there are any changes. We hope to welcome you back in the future, Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

Kate June 2021

“Apartment was nice, loved the recliners.”

We had to purchase sink unblocker for the bath and basin in the bathroom. Hoover was blocked with pet hair. Previous guests took the St Ives Harbour spa passes home with them. It meant every time we went to the spa we had to explain this. Lots of noise from upstairs, sound proofing isn’t great.

““This is our 3rd visit to the apartment now ‘The View’ we have had a lovely stay.”

The new owners have made changes to soft furnishings + very nice pictures. All excellent improvements. We have booked again for next year. 2 other small improvements would make it perfect. Need to change bedroom to include drawer space would like to stay for 2 weeks but not enough storage. Also, very minor need a squeegee for shower screen. Also, Hayley is a credit to Carbis Bay Holidays so helpful. Apartment was spotless + nicely decorated. Used the spa 3 times in the week + hotel for food. Peter & Linda Taylor from Sheffield Owners response – Thank you for your comments. We have now reconfigured the bedroom to allow more storage for our guests.”
