    “We have stayed in this property many times.”

    The view is amazing and the location of the property so close to the station and the coastal path is just perfect. The apartment and especially the kitchen is very well equipped. Love going to sleep hearing the waves, then waking up to the most amazing view. However, a few negatives this time and advice: The security gate to the car park was broken and left open the whole week, despite Carbis Bay Holidays assuring us this would be fixed.

    The view is amazing and the location of the property so close to the station and the coastal path is just perfect. The apartment and especially the kitchen is very well equipped. Love going to sleep hearing the waves, then waking up to the most amazing view. However, a few negatives this time and advice: The security gate to the car park was broken and left open the whole week, despite Carbis Bay Holidays assuring us this would be fixed. We could not get the coffee machine to work. Was reported to CBH, who did offer to look at it but we declined but just wanted to report it. Cleanliness - looked very clean on arrival, but on our last day when we were giving it a quick hoover, a used plaster (not from us) was found under the sofa. The cleaners do need to check under the furniture too. There is a huge TV on a floor stand in the main bedroom which is a safety hazard, as you regularly catch your feet on the legs sticking out. If you need to put a TV in the bedroom, it needs to be wall mounted. The new walk in wardrobe is good, and we love the bed now facing the sea, but the door into the wardrobe needs to be removed or put on the outside as a sliding door. We both caught ourselves daily on the door handle. There is also not enough room to dry your hair in that space, a small dressing table would be a great addition to the bedroom, and as it is a good sized room there would be plenty of space. Would just add to the luxury of the apartment. Since Carbis Bay Holidays have been taken over by Sykes Holidays, they are very difficult to contact. In the welcome pack it says any issues to call your housekeeper, but no number given. The online message service failed due to being too busy. No reply from the WhatsApp message service. So I resorted to finding an old email address from our previous stays before the change, which I finally got a reply. But the above negatives would not stop us staying again, as the positives outweigh the negatives. It is an amazing place.

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. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property.
