Golden Heights

A great apartment in a fabulous location, just a few minutes walk from the beach, coastal path and train station.

The property has amazing views over Carbis Bay, and towards St Ives and Godrevy. It’s a great base for exploring the local area. The welcome hamper is a lovely touch. We can’t wait to return for our annual trip to Cornwall!

Perfect in every way.

The spotlessly clean flat has everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped. The layout ideal and you could never tire of the fantastic views. The bed was also extremely comfortable!

This is a fantastic apartment that we would recommend to everyone.

The view is stunning, absolutely riveting. Everything is comfortable and superbly equipped. It is in a convenient location, close to the station, beach and walks.

Wonderful location with the best view from accommodation we’ve ever found!

Apartment is clean, modern, tastefully furnished and well equipped. Perfect location for watching the sea, beach, seals and taking in the view. So easy to get into St Ives either on foot via lovely coastal walk or by train, 3 minutes on train with station 2 minute walk away. Our 3rd stay and we can’t wait to return again Only small gripe was scaffolding and work being done in adjacent apartments with hammering starting at 8.30 every morning. We did report to Sykes but had no feedback or resolution

Stylishly presented apartment and of course the amazing view!

!! Well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. Luxurious bedding was appreciated. Cleanliness was of a good standard, but extra work to the grouting in the en-suite needs to be addressed. The lock jammed whilst we were in the apartment and had to call someone to let us out! I think an upgrade to a proper lock would be a good idea.

It’s a beautiful, comfortable apartment in a fabulous location and is very well equipped.

Wouldn’t hesitate in going back or recommending it to others. For the owners information: we didn’t seem to be able to get the dryer to work very well, it didn’t get hot. It would be great to have a couple of hooks somewhere in the en suite to hang towels on after use to help them dry. The hot water in all the taps is dangerously scalding hot and probably needs to be turned down. But we loved it and had a wonderful time thank you.

We had an amazing stay, amazing weather at the amazing golden heights.

waking up to that view never gets tiresome. The only thing missing was a spatular for our eggs in the morning.

The flat was beautifully updated with an amazing view!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The only small issues were that the carpets had not been vacuumed and we were surprised to find that the most minimal soaps and toilet paper provided were not enough to get us through our five night stay. Overall, a great property.

We love staying here and will be back but We feel a couple of things would really make a difference to the apartment and comfort of stay.

1- Twin room really needs blackout blinds on both windows. 2- The front door doesn’t feel secure at all (even a chain at the top would make a difference) 3- A curtain at the front door for privacy Also the tumble dryer didn’t work.. it wouldnt heat up.

This property is stunning inside with a stunning view.

We enjoyed our short stay here and would return again.

Our fourth visit to this apartment.

Only improvements I would suggest are a pizza cutter and tongs in utensils drawer. Blackout blind in second bedroom and sofa is rather uncomfortable. This apartment is always beautifully presented and extremely clean and welcoming. We look forward to a fifth visit soon

The apartment was brilliant all round except the furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable, we came for a relaxing holiday but we all found it hard to get comfortable in the living room.

Excellent service as usual with Sykes.

Great location and apartment. Everything that we needed for our stay. Will definitely be back!

What a fantastic property - we loved the whole apartment.

Location, decor, but that window and view was

There was a few little problems, the front windows were very drafty and when we opened the right hand side one the hinge was rusty , we know it was very windy but also the noise from the dining room window side was very annoying, not sure where it was coming from but may have been from the extraction vent in the bathroom , also the second bedroom needs blackout blinds as we could not differentiate from night and day , but saying all this we had great time as we have for the last 3 years at this time of year .

The only downside was the connnection didn’t work on the television so some nights the television kept going on and off and the Wi-Fi was very weak but the holiday accommodation was excellent and very cosy and we really enjoyed our week .

A wonderful stay in a lovely apartment!

The view is amazing! The beach is a few minutes walk away and St.Ives is a 4 minutes train journey away (Carbis Bay train Station is very close). Well worth it.

The overall feedback is positive, the flat is beautiful and the view is amazing.

A bit more attention to details would have made the experience extremely positive. 1. Lack of blackout blinds in the bedroom with twin beds has been an issue. It required 4 telephone calls to customer service to have help. 2. The flat was clean but not to high standards . 3. Tumble dryer filter full above limits therefore not clean to use. 4. There is possibly some dump behind the wardrobe of the second bedroom. Clothes became very smelly. I would highlight that this may be a problems for people having mold allergy and/or a condition called MCAS. Happy for you to publish the feed-back if you wish.

Beautiful apartment, very clean and well equipped with stunning views!

Will definitely return.

We loved our stay at Golden Heights.

It was out of season so considerably quieter than at peak times, but this suited us. The property was very impressive, in a great location with a fantastic view. It’s very well appointed, perfectly comfortable and with all the appliances and style of decor you would expect in an apartment of this calibre. Also the complimentary tea, coffee and milk was appreciated. The only minus points for us was a wish that the front door to the property could have been a touch more secure with possibly an inside bolt or safety chain and that the toilet roll holder in the main bathroom could be fixed to the wall more robustly. Not out and out problems by any stretch though and in no way did this detract from our enjoyment of a very luxuriously appointed property. I would recommend it thoroughly.

3rd visit and whilst we love the flat we found some crockery is chipped, not enough glasses, and floors weren’t as clean as previous visits En-suite smells damp and sealant looks in need of refreshing Good to see blackout blind has been fitted in bedroom with en-suite, one in the second bedroom would be a good addition due to outside light On the whole we love staying here and will be back, these bits would just make it perfect!

The property is lovely, the tv takes some working out as channels hard to find , would prefer to have some sort of blackout curtains in the bedrooms as the lights outside the apartment stays on all night so does not go dark at all .

We have already booked next year

What can we say.

When when we first arrived and saw the apartments and street view was not sure what to expect. Once inside....The pictures do not do this property justice!! Wow!! The view from the lounge stunning just an amazing beautiful apartment with extra little welcome gifts to welcome us, so thoughtful that after just over 7 hours driving. It was home from home and all ages catered for at the apartment, bonus of DVDs TV channels, wifi, weather was kind to us though prior looking at forecast we expected rain all week. Only the last day it rained but that was not going to stop us!! well placed to explore all around. First time in Cornwall and first time booked with Sykes was not too sure what to expect, definitely will not be the last for sure. Absolutely loved our holiday and stay at Golden Heights Breath taking as soon as walked in and we both had sad faces when had to leave. To Sykes for having and sharing this gem of a place to stay. To the owner, what an absolute privilege for us you share your apartment for others to enjoy and stay in. Thank you!! Cannot recommend this apartment enough. Already looking at returning as soon as we can again!! Laura & Steve x

Superb accommodation with beautiful sea view.

Very conveniently situated.

Lovely apartment with great facilities and the view… just wow!

However, we didn’t sleep very well as the bedrooms do not have proper blinds or curtains. The maintenance light outside the main bedroom really didn’t help the situation, especially as it needed changing and was constantly flickering, making sleep almost impossible. I would also suggest checking the fan in the en-suite as it makes an annoying sound when it’s windy.

Wonderful stay here at Golden heights, the apartment is much larger than it appears on the photos, everything you could need is provided and the free standing bath is perfect for a relaxing evening!

The parking is adjacent to the property as opposed to being across the road with some of the other spaces. You are a 1 minute walk from the station and a 2 minute walk to the beach. We will certainly be coming again!

Absolutely stunning apartment, gorgeous views.

We will be back!

Fantastic Apartment with probably the best sea view you will ever get.

Apartment has everything you need & i would def stay here again. Couple of points apartment would def benefit from a larger TV Better wifi. & the seal inside the washing machine needs a really good clean. Other than that perfect

A fabulous escape in a beautiful apartment with spectacular views.

Golden heights felt like home from home, the apartment has excellent facilities and offers a luxury feel. Any issues raised were dealt with promptly. Both the owner and Cameron’s customer service was next to none. We felt well looked after. We will definitely come back.

The car parking space was not as listed - over the road.

It is actually on the site of the property The television is far too small for a room of this size.

A lovely apartment with an amazing view Could do with a little bit more storage space in the bedrooms.

Lovely apartment , great location and views.

Wifi terrible and unable to watch any t.v lots of feedback sayiing the same , unfortunately nothing done to improve or resolve this

An absolutely beautiful apartment- great facilities and unbeatable views!

!! Very convenient for station to get to St Ives. We stayed with our 9 and 5 year old who loved it too. A few things to help further improve the stay: - more hangers would be helpful - may be some drawers- storage for our clothes was slightly lacking. - hooks on doors to hang towels/clothes. We would absolutely love to stay again! Shame to see the price has increased, but well worth it!!!

V helpful responses from Cameron Henderson when we had a couple of issues - thank you.

Though, with the lack of direct house keeper number to text (as in previous years), or email address, it was frustrating not to be able to raise an issue until the Monday morning when you lines opened. If we were only staying a week that would be a couple of days of the holiday gone before we could raise an issue (not wanting to use the 'emergencies only' number). (Our key issue in this case was tv not working.)

Problems with TV and internet.

TV needs internet connection which was erratic even after extender fitted after complaint logged. Visited local office to raise these issues and was informed by a member of staff that "WiFi is complimentary" although WiFi availability is listed as a property feature and one we always check when booking. Cannot fault property view and other facilities but have also realised since booking that your reviews listed on website are all favourable and that any review we leave 'may' be used on your website. Please ensure ALL reviews are listed to make people aware.

Golden Award Apartment!

"Golden Heights is one of THE best apartments we've stayed in. Equipped with everything you could wish for, and everything is of the highest standard. Lots of thought has gone into the layout, fixtures and fittings and it really is outstanding. Right from the minute you enter the apartment, that home from home feel is there. Location of course must be mentioned.... with a view that is to die for! Parking space a bonus and so close to our front door made unpacking & packing the car a piece of cake! We're already checking dates for next September. Thank you to the owners of Golden Heights for making our 'holiday home' so special."<br/>Wendy Lucas

‘What an apartment! We’ve spent many holidays in Gwel Marten over the last few years, but this has to be one of the best apartments for comfort, equipment & a real home from home feeling. Both the location & family bathroom are to die for (wish I had them @ home!) And of cause the view…well what can I say, just perfect!!Fixtures & fittings really good with lounge seating soooo…comfortble. Everything we could ask for and look forward to many more holidays at Golden Heights…oh yes, and the sun shone too!!! Thanks so much x P.s the windbrake was very useful on the beach!!’ Margaret Lucas – Brighton, Shropshire.

‘A very enjoyable stay at Golden Heights. Many Thanks.’ Alan & Jan Roblin – Hampshire

‘We have had such a lovely, relaxing week here in Carbis Bay and have completely fallen in love with the area – Love St Ives and being able to walk or hop on the train is an added bonus. But ultimately, the week has been made by the apartment and this incredible view – Wow! Have loved just sitting and watching the sea, the beach and the seals! Will definitely be back, need to see this view again! Apartment well equipped - …’ Sally & Tim Browning

“A fabulous apartment and a view that’s good for the soul. We seriously considered squatting.” Richard & Kath Crawley, London

Excellent accommodation with spectacular views

"We have just enjoyed a week walking the cliff tops and beaches in this beautiful part of Cornwall. The apartment was very comfortable. The beds are comfy, the main bathroom is very spacious. The kitchen is well equipped and the view looking over Carbis Bay are spectacular. There were only a couple of things we though could have made it even better, there isn't much storage for clothes and no hooks in the bathroom or in the hallway for coats. A black out blind would be handy in the master bedroom due to a security light which shines in through the blind all night. We have stayed in a couple of the other Gwel Martin apartments, Gold Heights is the most luxurious."<br/>J Manners

Favourite view in the world!

We returned to the beautiful apartment again and soaked up the view and the lovely unexpected great weather. It is glorious here we are so grateful. Thank you! The Thompson family.

A home away from home

A home away from home but with an exceptional view. Thank you for ensuring guests are looked after. Patel family August 2020.
