Thank you for a lovely week in a beautiful apartment in a wonderful location.
Enjoyed all local beaches the train and particularly the dolphins. We will be back.
We have just got back from a week at Carbis Bay View.
We had an amazing week and the apartment was great, we have stayed in various apartments in Gwel Marten before and this one did not disappoint, the view was amazing and access to the terrace was a bonus as it made the walk to the beach even easier.
Kids loved seeing the beach & watching the train out the window and were really sad to leave. We have booked again for next year already to stay here again.
Highly recommended.
Great apartment and fantastic views. Blessed with wonderful weather for October. We loved the coastal path walking and running. Easy walk to St Ives and loved catching the train back. Such easy walking distance to so many placed, great location! We will be back, many thanks.
What a delight this apartment is! Congratulations to all concerned. We’ve had a lovely week in spite of our weather. Carbis Bay never loses its magic for us. We first came on our honeymoon 63 years ago and we come as often as we can. Thanks to everyone.

"Lovely apartment, had everything you could possibly need, lovely and clean. Fabulous views and good weather!"
The Days
Another wonderful week plenty of walks into St Ives. Would recommend the Hub, Pedn Olva, Porthminster Beach Café for food. The Yellow Canary does gluten free pasties. Penrose Estate offers lonely walking on the south coast and coastal path into Porth Leven, very huge waves.
"First time in Carbis Bay and St Ives. We loved it. Lots of great places visited. We’ll be back."
Turnock Family
"What a great week! Apartment wonderful, very clean, roomy and relaxing. Spent time on Carbis beach, in St Ives looking for sea glass/pottery, visited the seal sanctuary at Gweek, looked round Porthleven and Godrevy beach. Can recommend it all."
The Millingtons
"We had a wonderful week. We have been to West Cornwall before and staying at Gwel Marten was perfect. We kayaked on the Helford, enjoyed breakfast at the Sunset Surf Cafe at Gwithian. Got to Porthcurno, The Minack Theatre and Sennen Cove. The highlight: stand up paddleboarding at Carbis Bay for the first time."

"A lovely holiday in this gorgeous flat – our second visit to Gwel Marten but first stay here. Loved having the garden. Only two days of rain – not bad for half term! Thank you!"

Great family break, lush apartment and weather was lovely! Thank you for a lovely stay!
Thank you for a brilliant holiday, the house was as good as we wanted it to be. The location of the train was fabulous, we walked most days. The views from the house are superb. We wished we could have stayed for longer. It was most Definity worth the 7-hour drive! Thank you
"Enjoyed staying here again and the week of stunning sunshine added to the experience"
