Fantastic Views

We recently stayed at Turquarze and has a very happy family holiday, kids loved the entertainment and we loved the views, apartment was clean tidy and had everything we needed, can't fault it - we will be back

Mark Morris 06 2017
"We have had yet another fantastic holiday in Carbis Bay. The apartment is the best we have ever stayed in. As we were blessed with plenty of sunshine during our October stay."

Jayne Rushton

Testimonial 10 2016
"Lands End to Sennen Cove very enjoyable and not too long, also St Just to Cape Cornwall and obviously Carbis Bay to St Ives. The position of the apartment meant the train and also good bus services so that we were able to get about without having to use the car all the time. (We particularly enjoyed the 300 open top bus from St Ives to Penzance). Restaurant wise we enjoyed the Badger Inn at Lelant which we discovered near the end of our holiday."

"We really enjoyed Turquarze, only disappointed we cannot get it for Oct! ; we loved the view -so close to the beach from Caribs beach Apartments, we. Could even see the beach from the bed! Our fave meal has to be the Thai chef in Hayle-been going here now for 15 years! Also the Firehouse Restaurant in Fore Street is very good."

D. Scott

Testimonial 06 2015
"We had a great time and must say Turquarze was one of the best places we have ever stayed at. The accommodation was superb and was the location and views from the apartment. We went on walks in both directions to St.Ives and also Lelant along the coastal routes. We thought the walk to Lelant was the better of the two with better scenery along the way albeit slightly longer. The use of the local train line was also an added bonus. You could not ask for another thing in the apartment itself , fully kitted out and very clean and tidy."

D. Mathers

"We would like to thank you particularly for the delicious welcome basket and for decorating the apartment for our Christmas stay. The interior design of the Turquaze is very stylish and everything compliments the beautiful sea view outside."

Testimonial 05 2015
"We had a wonderful week in Carbis Bay - our first in that part of the country. The accommodation and services offered were superb and we would not hesitate in recommending you and/or the apartment. We did try the beach path walks either side of Carbis Bay, one to St Ives and the other to Hayle, both of which we enjoyed immensely and of course the beach there was lovely. "

P. Murden

Testimonial 04 2015
"The views from Turquarze are to die for and the short walk to the beach was like paradise.The whole experience lived up to our expectations. Our two young sons (5yrs and 2yrs) loved every minute including watching the trains going past out of the bedroom window. We found a wonderful place to visit for young families and that was Paradise Park which we visited twice."

R. Muguza

Testimonial 04 2015
"What a fantastic apartment with such stunning views. All of us enjoyed waking up to the glorious vista every morning ! Turquarze was very well appointed with virtually everything you would need for a complete self catering holiday even a cupboard full of games, dvd's and a play station. We enjoyed the walk to St Ives, enjoyed a meal in the Sloop Inn and the Ocean Grill both on the Wharf. Good, reasonably priced food with friendly staff."

N. Rowland

Testimonial 03 2015
"We have had some really good cottage holidays in the UK and Turquarze was our first apartment. The view from the balcony took our breath away enhanced by the wall to wall sunshine and the blue sea. Everyday was so enjoyable, particularly the walk to St Ives, the walk to Lelant and around Godrevy. We mostly left our car in the car park and only travelled to a few places which included St Michaels Mount and Mousehole. The rest of the time was spent around Carbis Bay. The apartment was very clean, well appointed and a delight to stay in. "

A. Gurney

Testimonial 03 2015
"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Turquarze. The standard of accommodation was exceptional, along with the standard of cleanliness. The administration has gone without a hitch, so all in all a wonderful holiday. The two restaurants we frequented whilst at the apartment were La Casita in Carbis Bay and the Alba in St. Ives. Both restaurants provided wonderful food and good service."

P. Hunt

Testimonial 02 2015
"Turquarze, is by far the best ! I cannot fault the welcome from Pauline and cleanliness of all rooms. Best local discovery was the Badger Inn, Lelant and the cream teams in the garden of the station house at Lelant railway station."

M. Howell

Testimonial 01 2015
"We are thinking very often of our fantastic holidays we spent at Carbis Bay. We loved the apartment and especially the beautiful view on the beach, water. Everything was perfect: administration, service, standard of accommodation and fully met our expectations! We can recommend, walks on the costal path to St. Ives and Lelant, helicopter flight to Tresco (lunch at the New Inn), Porthminster Beach Café, Seafood Café at St. Ives"

"We really enjoyed our stay in Turquarze. We found the administration efficient. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Appreciated the "small" touches...the crisp white cotton bed linen, fluffy towels, good quality appliances, plentiful crockery and glasses, american fridge freezer...the list is endless."

A.Powell

Testimonial 11 2014
We had a fantastic week in Turquarze - yet again. We loved the refurbishment and the standard of cleanliness, furnishings and equipment was again second to none. As usual, the holiday went really smoothly - from the booking, payment, key instructions, meeting with the housekeeper, through to the apartment itself - and all topped off with superb weather! We love our annual visit to Carbis Bay and wherever else we holiday it's never quite the same! Look forward to booking next year's holiday with you in the not too distant future and thank you for making our holidays so easy, relaxing and enjoyable
