"Once again, a very enjoyable stay at Glas Mor."
Gaynor Witchard
"What a fantastic apartment, the views are just perfect, we took our nearly 2-year-old who loved the open plan apartment and was in heaven watching the local trains go by.
Whilst he was asleep, we had our dinner on the balcony overlooking the incredible views, we felt relaxed and at home very quickly as did our son.

Nina
"Glas Mor is an excellent apartment, very spacious, well equipped, and comfortable.
The view over the Bay from the huge windows and balcony is fabulous."
Chris Birch
"Excellent apartment on the third floor with a large slide opening double glazed window in both lounge and bedroom giving the perfect sea view. The long balcony is accessible from both double bedroom and lounge. Two decent sized double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and flat screen televisions with perfect reception. Very comfortable beds. Nice big private gated carpark with designated parking spaces. The apartment is reached via stairway or lift.
On a separate note, the lift was not working properly from midweek onwards. Although inconvenient, it did not spoil our enjoyment."
Dave & Gaynor
Hi Dave & Gaynor. Thank you for you feedback. We will ensure the lift is double checked, thank you for highlighting this. We hope to welcome you back.
"This apartment is perfectly place to enjoy St Ives Bay. 2 minutes on the train to St Ives and all it’s attractions and a few minutes walk to Carbis Bay beach.
If you fancy a game if golf that’s 5 minutes away in the car and loads of walking either way from the apartment.
As regards inside you gave all you need in luxury
Do yourself a favour book, relax and enjoy"

"We had a fabulous week at Glas Mor. From the moment of our arrival (early) when we encountered your representative (Claire?) who was putting the finishing touches to the apartment for our stay, to our departure everything went according to plan and we felt completely relaxed and stress-free. The apartment was spotlessly clean on on arrival and beautifully appointed. All appliances worked as they should and all the facilities were first-rate. The location, with its proximity to St Ives and its ease of access via the St Erth Express, was ideal for our requirements and the unobstructed views of Carbis Bay defy my descriptive powers."
Tim Steward
"It was our second time at Glas Mor and the apartment was a lovely as we remembered it. Really perfect. It was our first holiday since my son had a stroke last May which was a real milestone and the accommodation was great for him. He currently uses a wheelchair much of the time but can walk a few steps with a stick and so being somewhere accessible was a priority.
The apartment is beautifully appointed and the lovely welcoming provisions were perfect - we particularly appreciated the champagne!"
Janine Valentine
“We had the most fantastic 5 day break staying in Glas Mor, the standard of accommodation was excellent and the views just breathtaking!! We have enjoyed it so much that I have rebooked for next year within an hour of getting home on Friday! We are so pleased we decided upon coming to St Ives and rediscovered all this beautiful resort has to offer and will be coming back for many years to come. We have travelled the world and I must say the apartment was one of the very best we have ever stayed in with all the high standards of fittings etc and the stunning sea views, Congratulations to the owners for ensuring everything is in place for all your needs. We just wanted to stay a little longer! We think all the little extra things in the apartment were very nice to have i.e the books, cd’s and films were great, the beach train was great also to access when the walking became a bit too much.”
