  • "Overall an absolutely fantastic location with stunning views, a very well equipped apartment that was spotlessly clean, the only issues we had were very minor, the toilet seat in the main bathroom is very loose & made sitting on it awkward, the rug in the sitting area has lots fibers that come off easily & if travelling with a baby like us then be aware as our crawling baby ended up covered in them, other than that we had a wonderful time we’ll certainly look to return next year."

    So very pleased you all enjoyed your stay. The seat in the main bathroom will be fixed at changeover this weekend. Regarding the rug, it is still quite new and it is unfortunate that it can lead to some loose fibres whilst settling down. Thank you for your lovely comments regarding the apartment and look forward to welcoming you back to Carbis Sands. Property Owner

    Lovely clean apartment with excellent views. Had a busy week exploring, here are some of our highlights: Train to St Ives (and back), Lands End with a stop at The First and Last Pub, Crantock beach (Great for crabbing), Fistral Beach (watch the surfers), St Michaels Mount (incl boat ride), Lizard Point and Kynance cove, Beautiful, The Badger in Pub - great food and atmosphere, Coastal paths to Portmeor beach, Best pasties from Philps Bakery- Hayle, Rubbed shoulders with Christian Horner (Red Bull Formular 1 principle at the Sloop Inn, St Ives!) The Minack Theatre, Porthcurno - book well in advance for shows as they sell out quickly. Have a wonderful holiday! Cheers! from The Fitchetts and The Harrisons from Derbyshire.

  • "The shower door in the en-suite bathroom requires attention as does the plug of the sink."

    It was difficult to identify the allocated parking space - instructions could be made clearer eg “Go straight to block A where you will see lock box for number 1 and the car space is in front of the door.” Thanks to the very patient lady in Cheshire who talked us through this.

    Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the instructions for arrival I will check that guests are forwarded to Block C, the furthest away from the entrance to the car park. The car parking space for the apartment is the closest possible to the entrance to Block C. Also, appreciate your comments re maintenance and they will be dealt with forthwith. I do appreciate your “top marks” for Cleanliness, Comfort & Facilities/Maintenance,. I hope, despite these minor issues you were able to enjoy your week in Carbis Bay. Property Owner

    So comfortable and well equipped, it had everything we needed, would love to return. Only minus for us was the pin code needed to watch Sky Movies before 9pm. This was expected and explained beforehand but meant I could never finish a film as I'd be asleep by 9.30 after walking up that hill from the beach!

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.
