What guests are saying
Loved our stay , location is excellent , accommodation was lovely, very clean, and the view was stunning .
Would recommend staying here . Only a few small comments to improve on - outside furniture needed to be cleaned before we could use . One of the bedroom views is a wall, not a great view . I would suggest putting plants / plant wall or art to make the view more pleasing, but the rest of the property is lovely .
This is my second stay here and my absolute favourite Carbis Bay house.
We had an incredible two weeks, the house is perfect and we were very sad to leave this morning. The views from the balcony and living room are to die for. The house is in a good location close to the train station and Carbis Bay. It’s well equipped and very clean. The housekeeper Alison is lovely and very helpful. Absolutely love it here. If I had to comment on anything not perfect I would say the plates and cups could do with an upgrade as they are getting a bit tired. Apart from that it’s perfect and we were waved off by a huge storm last night that was amazing to watch with the panoramic sea views. Thank you
When we first arrived at Gwel an Godrevy, we were impressed with the size of the property , its cleanliness and the stunning view of the sea from the main living room balcony.
The balcony is a decent size. The property is located in a very accessible location to the train station to St Ives and the beach. Our stay was pleasant, if I had to talk about a few improvements if any, I would say : the kitchen was equipped with many things but having olive oil along with the salt and pepper that was already provided would have been an added bonus! The kitchen had everything you needed otherwise and was very well equipped. The hot tub is already set to a pre - temperature , because of the current weather, I felt it was a bit cold then your usual hot tub/jacuzzi. I guess in hot weather, it would be nice. Finally, one or two of the beds were slightly hard, which could be changed as a suggestion . Overall, the heating in the house was good , providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Also, circumstances were such that originally we had to ask for a refund because my father in law had fallen ill, but the owner wasn't willing to give us a refund which I felt was unfair given the unforeseen circumstances. Once you have booked it , you have to go unless you do a flexible booking . You get what you pay for with Gwel an Godrevy, a pleasant stay!
