• "We had a wonderful time in the beautifully furnished house with its lovely parquet flooring."

  We were particularly impressed by the fantastic view of the sea and the beautiful bay from the picture windows. Very impressive. Thank you very much!

• "Had a lovely weekend with great weather."

  Views from the balcony are amazing and saw the sun rise on the summer solstice. Beautiful, pink sunsets. The apartment had everything we needed, and the bunk beds were fine for 2 adults. Great seating area for eating, playing games, watching TV and relaxing. We would definitely come back.

• "It was a beautiful property, but there were a couple of issues that I wouldn’t have expected at the given price point."

  Firstly, the beds and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable, this was mentioned many times in the guest book but appears not to have been acted on. Different mattresses and pillows are desperately needed. Also, the boiler was not working when we arrived, I had to reset it multiple times and watch YouTube videos to get the hot water on. Finally, some toiletries beyond empty bottles of carex would have made the stay feel as premium as the price point. Despite the beautiful view, we would not stay at the property again.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the property and its beautiful views, though we're sorry that some aspects of your stay impacted your experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the beds and pillows. Comfort is very personal, and while a selection of pillow types is provided, we understand they were not to your liking. We will take your feedback into account when reviewing future replacements and upgrades. We're also sorry for the inconvenience caused by the boiler on arrival. We understand how frustrating this must have been during your holiday, and we're pleased to confirm it has since been fully checked and is now working correctly. Thank you as well for your comments regarding toiletries. Following changes to our soap provision as part of our single-use plastics policy, we recognise there is room for improvement and appreciate your suggestions. We're grateful for your feedback, which helps us continue improving the guest experience, and we wish you all the best for your future travels. Property Owner

• "Overall the property was clean and comfortable and the location was very good."

  There was no soap in the toilets, not enough dishwasher tablets and welcome pack was not very good.

  We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. As Carbis Bay Holidays is a B corp company we have to be considerate of the single use plastic products used in our welcome packs, we are looking into improving these. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "The only two issues were 1) car park spaces too small for most modern cars and there’s nowhere else close enough to park."

  2) the sofas rate among the most uncomfortable we’ve ever had. Other than that all was great !

  We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your great stay. Porthrepta Long Stay Car Park is within a 5-minute walk from the property for alterative parking nearby. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "Would we go back, yes 100%."

  Fantastic location and view was amazing. Was there niggles well just warnings really. Parking is tight as many visitors had SUVs so it took some manoeuvring. Also ensure you take soap or pump soap for the bathroom sink area to wash hands it isn’t provided. There was many mentions of the nice pack left for visitors, we only noted a pint of milk and a nice tote bag , maybe cut backs. This is a lovely place though and fully recommended for other visitors to the area .

  Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holiday team. Property Owner

• "Wonderful apartment with fantastic views."

  Location perfect for the beach & train station. Local superstore close by. Plenty of space for a family of 4 & fully equipped with kitchen appliances. Car spaces are quite small & hilly but managed to park & well aware how hilly Carbis bay is! Great to have Sky tv in evenings & on rainy days. Outside space is great, unfortunately we didn’t make use of it due to the weather but fantastic in the nice weather. Would recommend the apartment & hope to come back again.

• "Property is beautiful, stunning views in a stunning location overlooking Carbis Bay, the property is modern and has everything you can think of in terms of functionality, kitchen,bedroom equipment, parking, when we arrived, we were pleased to see some fresh milk, apple juice, tea, coffee, etc and this is very nice, I would make the point that it’s probably time for a bit of a refresh in terms of some small areas of paint work and the stairs carpet, also only one bedroom has a bathroom sink that I could really describe is functional for anything other than washing your hands, but it has three nice bathrooms with beautiful Aqualisa style showers ."

  The design has attention to detail and if you want a modern property in a stunning location, this is the place, definitely recommend and would stay again.

  Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback, it’s much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed the welcome pack and are very pleased to hear you would stay again. We will be sure to pass on your suggestions to the owner for their consideration. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "Superb location, amazing views, kitchen appliances was fantastic even managed to get all the holiday clothes washed and dried we was luck with the weather."

  The beach is literally a 5 min walk down the steep hill. It’s a lung burner walking back up but we all love walking so no problem! The only minor thing is the bed in the 2nd bedroom is very hard. I like it to be softer however some people prefer a harder bed. The bedrooms could benefit with a fan as they do get warm at night if you don’t like leaving the door open. That’s my only minor issue and it never spoiled my holiday it was a fantastic week! We will 100% be coming back

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! Thank you so much again for your comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  We arrived and brushed the floors. Full of hair and dust. Top of bed head full of dust. Rug in living room worn and dirty. Need replacing. In general value for money very poor.

Please note as per your key collection details, check in is strictly from 4pm. If you have any issues during your stay please contact the local team and we will be able to assist straight away.

• ""The location is fantastic, two minutes’ walk to the beach, two minutes to the train station to take a train to St Ives which is MUCH easier than parking and cheaper!"

  You can walk to St Ives to (or run) even with the children, a nice steady walk rewarded by a tea and scone at the end! The accommodation has outstanding views of the beach/St Ives (fireworks at New Year), showers were out of this world (hard to get out of once in!), all the utensils/white goods were high end, had everything you could ask for. My husband and children found the TV’s with sky Q a huge bonus for films and sports on lazy afternoons! I made use of the washing machine! The beds we found extremely comfortable and cosy, the older girls LOVED their bunk beds! The welcome pack (sparkly wine, apple juice etc) was a lovely welcome and needed after 6 hours in the car! Checking in was simple and straight forward and was wonderful to be able to get into the property a few hours early. We had the best 4 nights away and can’t wait to return! "

• ""Having always stayed in a caravan in Cornwall or tent, we opted for luxury this time."

  I can honestly say it was exactly that, it was stunning from the minute you walk in the door, nothing was forgotten! From arrival snacks, lovely thought. Fully equipped kitchen with even a washing machine! The house/apartment was immaculately clean as well as having brand new / high end quality appliances! The best part of the house was by far the stunning view! One and only criticism, motion senses in the bedroom at night, bit bright when they go off with any slight movement. Would absolutely highly recommend this place and the Carbis Bay holiday team, from booking, arriving, and leaving. Perfect in every way. We will definitely be returning! Thank you, x "

• ""Gwel An Chapel was absolutely fantastic, it had everything we needed and more!"

  The view was stunning and we spent most evenings enjoying it. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and enjoyed by all of us. We often caught the train into St Ives as it was cheaper and easier than driving and parking. The beach is 5 minutes away. It is a very steep hill but worth it for the blue flag beach. We would definitely stay again!"
