  • "The property is in a lovely setting in Carbis Bay, only a short walk down to the beach and also the railway station."

    The only reasons that I have downgraded the star ratings are due to the maintenance and provision of basic supplies, which are probably more down to Sykes Cottages/Carbis Bay Holidays than the owners. Firstly, there was a lovely hamper of goodies left for us which was a nice treat. However, the provision of toilet rolls for a week's stay was very basic, with no extra toilet rolls left anywhere in the property. A coffee maker was available, but no coffee pods (not even one as an indicator of which type were needed), there was no antibacterial spray or any cleaning spray, insufficient dishwasher tablets and no washing powder/pods. We bought all of the things that we needed and left them for the next people following us into the property. The fridge and freezer weren't very clean and the freezer badly needed defrosting. The dishwasher service light was showing that it needed attention. The ensuite shower was not very clean and tiles needed bleaching. Finally the TV on demand service did not work. The property is marketed as a penthouse property - which indeed it is being built into the roof space. The ceilings slope in most of the rooms and caution is needed as it is very easy to bang your head in every room. As is evidenced by the dirty/greasy head marks on the sloping ceilings in every room - a good cleaning of these areas would have been appreciated. With very small attention to detail this property could be fabulous but it is the little things that let it down. I had an issue with the washer/dryer mid week and contacted both Sykes and the owner's number regarding this as there were no instructions for the washing machine. I did not receive any response until 24 hours later, by which time I had looked on line and worked out how to operate the machine for myself (the door had stuck mid programme during drying). Whilst these aforementioned things aren't major issues I think they need highlighting in a bid to keep the property up to scratch in terms of cleanliness and maintenance, especially as it is being advertised as a "penthouse" property. We had a lovely stay apart from this, the apartment is warm, light and airy with great views over the bay and it really is an ideal spot for walking into St Ives or catching the train. It is right on the SW Coastal path so fantastic for walking either way up or down the coast. I would definitely recommend it as a place to stay despite the few issues that we had.

  • "A wonderful place to base ourselves for a week of exploration."

    Very spacious, comfortable and clean. Views out of this world and felt like a home. If ever down there again, wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Perfect location, 2 mins walk to train station, which runs into St Ives every 30 mins. St Ives itself, really is the picture postcard resort you see in the pictures. No negatives and highly recommended.

  • "7 Sandy Lane is a beautiful apartment with beautiful views over the bay."

    It’s close to St Ives and Carbis Bay which was perfect for our family to explore. The apartment was incredibly clean and well supplied with everything you needed for a home away from home. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

    Thank you for your review and we are so glad you had such a great time! Look forward to you staying with us again. Property Owner

  • "The penthouse apartment is amazing with lovely views if the sea from a distance from 2 bedrooms and living kitchen also off the two balconies."

    Bed in main en suite room super comfy. Enough storage spaces throughout. Bathrooms slighly small with sloaping ceilings so easy to bump your heads which we did many times

    Thank you for taking time to give us feedback. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

The property

7 Sandy Lane is a stunning, penthouse with magnificent views in the idyllic village of Carbis Bay, Cornwall.

Boasting a light and airy feel, sea views and positioned just a short walk from amenities and the beach, 7 Sandy Lane is a fantastic choice for families looking to escape to Cornwall for a little while.

The open-plan living space enjoys light flooding in through the Velux windows and large french doors which lead out onto the generous glazed balcony where you can dine, just sit or lounge and enjoy those sea views.

The handmade kitchen has everything you need to enjoy cooking up a feast of local Cornish produce when you feel liking dining in and a coffee machine to help kickstart those lazy mornings.

The sitting room area has leather seating and a 58-inch Smart television and Sonos Playbar for superior sound and music streaming capabilities.

The master bedroom enjoys its own balcony, bedroom two benefits from an en-suite shower room and the third bedroom is a twin room, perfect for children.

A luxurious family bathroom completes the interior, featuring a doubled ended bath for those lazy soaks.

Just a moment’s stroll away lies Carbis Bay beach where you can choose to spend summer days lounging on the sands, or get active with hiring a paddleboard from the watersports centre before enjoying a refreshing drink and food choices on offer from the beach takeaway to fine dining.

For even more variety just a stones throw away, you can make your way slightly uphill from here to a variety of restaurants, which includes John Becks which is a great local fish and chip shop.

Wander down the path opposite the front of Sandy Lane to catch the train to the famous St Ives, where you can wander its narrow, cobbled streets, visit the local museum full of interesting facts about life and sample a range of restaurants.

Those looking to get their steps in can follow the South West Coast Path and soak in the stunning Cornish coastline.

St Michaels Mount is an idyllic island just off the shore at Marazion and accessible by causeway when the tide is low, or visit Trewidden Garden and see its collection of camellias and exotic shrubs.

Where you’ll be staying

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.
