Bosbrea

Beautiful apartment, very well equipped throughout the kitchen, so spacious, amazing views.

When we 1st arrived everything appeared and smelled fresh and clean but after only 10mins of walking around the property my feet were dirty and covered in sand, everywhere else was clean but floors were not, the hoover provided if used by the cleaners is not picking up well at all which would explain why sand was still on the floors, would not stop us returning but thought it was worth mentioning, thankyou we loved our stay.

This was our second time visiting this property.

Again super clean, welcoming and had everything we needed. We barely used our car all week as the station was so close. Only downside for us is again the road noise- we took our own fan this time so that we could keep the windows shut but would be great to have a couple in the property. We also struggled with the lack of storage in the kitchen, there’s nowhere to put any of your own food so have to use all the worktops. Overall we loved it here but the road noise in the heat isn’t great.

The property is situated in a quiet area of Carbis Bay.

Parking is right outside the property. It’s easy to get into St Ives, there’s a bus stop outside, the train station is a short walk down the hill or you can walk the coastal path. The property itself is comfortable and well equipped. We have stayed here before and would stay again. Our only criticisms are very small but would make the stay a little easier. It would be useful to supply some bin liners, more than two dishwasher tablets and basics like salt and vinegar. There should also be at least one kitchen cupboard left clear to allow you to put food away. Little things but they make a difference. However that shouldn’t detract from what the property has to offer. The view over to Godrevy is hard to beat.

This was my second visit to Bosbrea and once again I wasn't disappointed.

A beautiful apartment with everything you need for a home from home. The views across Carbis Bay greet you every morning, it is truly stunning. Location is great for travel, with a bus stop right outside to St Ives or further afield. Absolutely fabulous. We will be back.

This was our second stay at the apartment.

It’ is the perfect location for visiting Carbis bay beach, St Ives, Godrevy and Hayle. The views from the balcony are beautiful and always great to wake up to in the morning. The apartment itself is spotlessly clean and fully equipped. Thank you for another wonderful week away.

Overall we had a great time at the apartment.

We did find the main bedroom to be quite warm but were unable to open the window due to the road noise so would have been good to have a fan in the apartment. We had some issues with the power in the kitchen, we are still waiting for this to be resolved and so far have had no response to our complaint. Beautiful view and great links into St Ives.

Great location, good public transport options that save using the car and cheaper than parking fees.

Very well appointed accommodation fantastic view to the coast, easy to locate and good parking. Makes an ideal stay. As a first floor apartment need to be able to do stairs though. A little road noise but not enough to detract from the accommodation in any way. Close to shops and good dining.

Everything as described.

Very comfortable. Amazing view from balcony. Ideally located for touring South West Cornwall. Only downside is the road noise from the bedrooms, especially if you sleep with the windows open and not used to road noise at night. Very steep hill to the beach but was not an issue fior us.

It was a joy to stay in this beautiful apartment.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything you needed for a very enjoyable stay. Wonderful view of the surrounding area and beach. Close to bus stop and station into St Ives. We stayed 14th to 21st June 2025, the weather was glorious.

This apartment is the place to be, It has wonderful views of the sea.

The walk down to Carbis Bay is worth the look, But its definately a steep hill on the way back up. Falmouth, St Ives and the Eden Project are worth a see, Don't forget to have a cream tea. Thanks for a great stay, loved every minute.

Lovely, spacious apartment.

Very clean kitchen is very well equipped. We loved the sea view and walking down to the beach and into St Ives via the coastal path. Would definitely consider re-booking.

Excellent property Very clean and well organised Lovely view of Carbis Bay Ideal for St Ives especially but also surrounding places Would certainly recommend the property Certainly considering booking again

Fantastic accomodation.

Very clean and well equipped. Lovely views over the sea. The beach in Carbis bay is so beautiful. Not much else there unfortunately. The climb back to the accomodation is not for the faint hearted. You have to have a fair level of fitness. We were very impressed with the train service from Carbis bay to St Ives. Always punctual and so cheap. Just £2 return. There is also a good coastal path to walk to Stives as well. St Ives was very busy. If you plan to eat Out I suggest you pre book as everywhere was super busy.

Lovely property, good size, great views and ideal for the beach, trains and busses will use again and recommend to family/ friends very enjoyable stay, highly recommend.

The apartment was a great space to holiday in.

The living area was so spacious, comfortable and had wonderful views. The open plan meant we could enjoy cooking, chatting and watching TV all together at the same time. The bedrooms were comfortable and had good storage. The shower was lovely and the bathroom roomy enough. It was close to the beach, so we could walk down for swim in the bay, or relax on the beach, and then wander back again. The parking was ideal and on level ground. The accommodation added to a wonderful week and was better than we even expected.

Clean and modern with good quality fittings/towels/bedding etc.

Lovely sea view from large lounge - but does overlook the road down to Carbis Bay, so no quiet rural idyll. Both bedrooms at the rear also get a lot of road noise from early am and then all day - very busy main road to St Ives

Lovely apartment, great view, so spacious and the kitchen extremely well equipped.

We had an amazing stay, thank you.

Fabulous stay, traffic noise in the bedrooms could be an issue for some.

However, everything we needed and more. There is a lack of space in the kitchen area to store cupboard food, so not advised to do a big food shop before you go. Perfect excuse to eat out more. St Ives very easy to get to by train or walking, would recommend not to.use your car. Apartment has a great view to sit and have a coffee in the.morning and relax. Would highly recommend staying and it's great having the allocated parking space. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beautifully presented, clean, spacious, great facilities and a marvellous view!

The main bed is of great quality and is comfy (firm mattress). The walk down to the beach is easy distance … but what goes down must come up…! I’d definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much! (Becks Fish & Chips are awesome, as is Beer & Bird and Talay Thai!)

Lovely spacious apartment with wonderful views.

Clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and goid quality kitchenware. Would recommend.

Outstanding holiday property, amazing location close to so many beautiful beaches.

On our arrival we had little treats left for us, so thoughtful. Super clean, spacious ,comfortable warm atmosphere, didn't want to leave. A big massive thank you for providing excellent high standards. Can't wait to go back again. 10 /10

Brosbea is a wonderful apartment.

The views are stunning. The accommodation is excellent. It's spacious, spotlessly clean and furnished tastefully. Local treats are an added bonus.

A bright, airy and clean apartment with comfortable furnishings and easy to use appliances.

We enjoyed our stay, our only issue was the traffic noise in the bedroom, especially during the day.

Fantastic apartment, but only downside was a very noisy and creaky double bed.

Cracking apartment with all mod cons and great views.

Front bedroom can get a little noisy (steady!) Due to main road to St Ives but nowt that can be done about that. Deffo recommended.

Really enjoyed our stay at Brosbrea!

Lovely accommodation

A really lovely apartment, great location.

Everything was perfect from the stunning view to the appliances, cleanliness and comfort of the apartment.

It was also very spacious, well laid out and positioned within easy reach of the bus stop. Another bonus was the parking space. The welcome pack was a nice touch as were the toiletries.

Would have given top marks for everything, but just felt the curtains in the lounge area let the apartment down slightly.

We really enjoyed our stay and would book again. Thankyou.

excellent property very clean and well maintained, brilliant views towards the sea, with good parking bay, ideal base for beaches and supermarkets etc, will be back to stay again.

The property is clean, spacious and in a fantastic location.

The utilities are all very high standard and the owners have provided everything you could want for a stay. The only problem we had was the King size bed is so noisy, every turn or roll over creates noise which affected mine and my partners sleep. I would have given it 5 stars if the bed was good.

We have just returned from a one week stay and the apartment was great.

We were a family of four and the apartment was perfect for us. It was nice clean and had lots of space. We really enjoyed our stay and will book again for sure. The view was amazing I could have sat on the balcony all day long.

Our Stay at Bosbrea was fantastic, the view from the balcony was beautiful.

The apartment was well equipped with everything you could need. The gifts on arrival were a lovely touch. Carbis Bay is a lovely, quiet place,and is a short (steep) walk to the beach and shops. There is a bus stop right outside the apartment to take you to St Ives. It would of been nice to be able to park our car at the apartment, as we arrived too early to check in and our space was available. We had driven for 7 hours. We awaited a phone call to see if we could park up, unfortunately nobody got back to us. We did however park up on tesco, so this wasn't really an issue in the end. We did have a fantastic stay. Thank you Sykes for another unforgettable holiday.

A very enjoyable stay in a delightful property, perfect for us, thank you.

This was a brilliant property.

The location was excellent for a number of reasons including being able to walk to several beaches along quiet footpaths and into St Ives. The facilities in the kitchen area were great and the owners summary instructions on how to use them and the heating - were really helpful. The bender, baking equipment etc meant I could make soup, cakes etc. The view from the property was stunning and it was clean, well maintained and nicely furnished. I had a very enjoyable two week break and would definitely visit again.

Lovely apartment.

Very clean. Great views. Only problem was key collection at this time of year its dark at 5 pm and there was not enough light which made it very difficult to see key code then the flap would not open, luckily there was someone in the office who had to get a knife to prise open otherwise I don’t know what we would have done.

The apartment was absolutely fantastic and we’ll definitely be returning.

Even better than it looked in the photos. Thanks.

"We had a lovely weeks holiday at Bosbrea thank you. It is the first time we have stayed in that part of Cornwall and enjoyed our vist. The accommodation was excellent, everything we had hoped for. We enjoyed reading some of the books in the book case; we’d brought some of our own but read yours instead and enjoyed them. We ate at the Cornish Arms just down the road three times: good food at a good price and very convenient. We also ate at the Seafood Cafe in St Ives and Waves in Penzance. We enjoyed a visit to the Eden Project and St Michaels Mount as well as visiting all the art shops in the neighbouring towns." J. & D. Nash

Excellent holiday in Carbis Bay

"Bosbrea lovely apartment great view and very well appointed. We thought the open plan apartment together with bedrooms and bathroom were all excellent as were fixtures and fittings. Apartment has onsite parking and is conveniently located for Carbis Bay rail station although quite a steep walk back from the station. We have no problem recommending Bosbrea and will probably return again. Thank you, Carbis Bay holidays."<br/>David Cotton

Excellent Apartment with a lovely view.
