  • "There is a light that goes on and off all night right outside the bedroom window."

    It looks like it belongs to the neighbouring property as it is in the wall. My partner is a light sleeper so it woke him up several times. This might be a fault with the light which could be easily remedied and we just wanted to make the owners aware of it.

  • "Thank you for a wonderful stay at Heron over New Year."

    It was exactly what we were looking for .. lovely views, fairly central (we know St Ives well, so were prepared for the short walk up the hill), and very well equipped and extremely comfortable. Just FYI, it was a very wet weekend, and we noticed the carpet was a little damp as we came out of the bedroom. Looking up, we saw water drops coming from the top of the door frame. Not sure what that was about, but certainly did not cause any problems for us - probably just needs looking at though. We had a great stay and would thoroughly recommend. Thanks again.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay at Heron. Thank you for bringing the door frame to our attention we will be sure to look further into this. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    Too small and soft. The rest of the stay was great

    Shower was dirty! There were staines on the bed and cleanliness was poor through out. The only good thing was the view! In desperate need of a facelift!!!

  • "Brilliant location with everything within walking distance."

    The Apartment was ideal for our needs. The only complaints we could have is the mattress was not the most comfortable & the shared patio could do with a revamp as this is what the window looked over. This apart we would definitely visit again.

    ***UPDATE – we are pleased to advise the mattress at Heron has now been replaced. Thank you very much for your feedback, we will investigate the mattress to ensure the quality is maintained and advise replacement if necessary. We will also feedback your points on the shared patio area. We look forward to welcoming you back to the area. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at Heron but there were a few things that i think need addressing."

    Firstly the parking space, im not sure this should be advertised as including a parking space tbh. I was unable to use the parking space all holiday (BMW 4 series gran coupe) since the space left by the cars either side simply didnt leave enough space. Personally i dont think this is the fault of the drivers in either space. The allocated bay is next to an end space which is next to a big hedge. If they parked to leave enough space they wouldnt be able to manoeuvre their vehicle. I had to pay over £60 to park in a public car park for the week which unfortunately resulted in a dent in the side of my car, so not great. I normally select properties based on having private parking so this was disappointing based on the listing. The only other feedback point would be the bed. The mattress needs replacing asap , it slopes to one side and is not comfortable. On holiday a good nights sleep is a must so this needs sorting for future customers. Everything else was as expected.

    Thank you very much for your feedback following your stay at Heron. We are extremely sorry to hear of the parking problems you experienced during your stay and following your comments we have arranged for the greenery overhanging the spaces to be cleared so going forward there should be no further problems with cars from adjoining spaces overlapping. For future refence, if you have a problem while staying at one of our properties, please feel free to call our local office on 01736 630015 and select Option 2 when prompted and one of our team will be able to assist you at the time of your stay. We also completely agree with you that a good night’s sleep is a must and we are pleased to advise Heron now has a brand new mattress. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "We arrived for a week in the heron apartment, upon entry through the door we were hit with a thick damp smell and when we looked to our left we noticed the window had been opened and yet in our friends apartment, no windows were open…suspicious."

    We walked around the apartment and aired it out, we noticed the carpet was not correctly fitted/was coming up in the doorways. The fridge freezer door was broken, one of the towel radiators didn’t work which was frustrating but luckily one of them worked. Unfortunately the worst thing about the apartment was the bed, the springs have broken in the mattress meaning one side is higher than the other, so you were rolling out of bed or sleeping at an angle to try and stay in bed. Positives - Great location - very clean - well equipped

  • "Really enjoyed our stay in a beautiful apartment ."

    Lovely views and very clean .Good location , 2 mins walk down the hill to the harbour and few mins away from shops in the centre. Had a problem with the bed . We did not get a good nights sleep all week as the bed very uncomfortable and woke with back ache every morning . The matress was very hard could be softer and thicker . Also need blackout blind at bedroom window as it looks on to neighbours back garden and when we was in bed at night the bedroom lit up with the outside sensor light when people walked past and i could see them . Had a problem with parking space as not enough room for us when the other cars got there first. Needs improvement on that .

    ***UPDATE – we are pleased to advise the mattress at Heron has now been replaced.

  • "A charming flat which overlooked st Ives in possibly the best location you could ask for and only a few mins walk into the village / Town."

    The apartment was well equipped for our stay. Including bedding and fluffy towels etc. Parking was a short 10 min walk from the property. Their are a few things that need to be addressed in the property for improvement: - the bed, the mattress is awful :( the bed is a small double (I believe) so we both ended up sleeping on our sides. - the WiFi (it only work in the communal corridor) the problem is the signal strength does not cater for the property and needs its own connection to a modem. The WiFi boosters simply do not offer any form of WiFi to the apartment. - final night of our stay the battery to the smoke alarm was going off ALL night - intermittent beeping (battery went). - bathroom mould on the ceiling, bathroom could do with a lick of paint. We do understand there is no window hence the reason for this happening. But requires addressing as a “luxury” apartment / flat. Overall a pleasant stay ( apart from the last night with the smoke alarm). “What 3 word” location ///cobbles.liberated.able for anyone who finds the property hard to find as couldn’t find on Google.

  • "Excellent apartment and location."

    Everything we needed was there. A few points however, the living area had a strong smell of wet dog, even though we are dog owners ourselves, the Wi-Fi signal is terrible and needs looking at and the mattress really should be more comfortable for such a premium property. Other than those few points the stay was great.

    ***UPDATE – we are pleased to advise the mattress at Heron has now been replaced. Dear Mr Lewis, thank you for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent holiday at Heron and good to hear the stay was great.

    The first is that internet coverage is very limited only really serving the living room. The second is there was 1 standard wheelie bin for all 4 flats and no possibility to recycle. We also had to still leave the flat as instructed with a broken dishwasher. Not ideal
