  • "Hi, family of 2 adults and 2 children."

    We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location as you well know. All of the goods inside are excellent quality but the main thing that lets the property down is the bifold doors. They have been misused and unfortunately are so hard to open we didn’t bother most of the time. These would really need replacing. As the property is rented out many people are not educated on how to open and close them properly and they damage the rubber gaskets at the bottom. That’s exactly what has happened here and the tracks are rusty so they don’t even slide anymore. There are doors that would be better suited to this and I would be happy to explain if you did ever consider changing them. Other than this we would definitely recommend the property and even consider returning in the future.

  • "Very disappointed with the hot tub situation which we were only able to use about 4 days out of 7."

    Also extremely disappointed to having them claim the good housekeeping bond for a mattress, a child’s mattress that had a useless protector on and not a waterproof protector which if are a good quality one they are very comfortable and not noisy, which is why they said they don’t supply them. I’m sure most customers would agree instead of being charged hundreds of pounds they would prefer a waterproof cover.

    Thank you for your feedback. We were pleased that we were able to sort the hot tub issues out for you during your stay and that the owner kindly offered you a good will gesture for any inconvenience, which you accepted. Following your stay, from the damage found, unfortunately the owner decided on this occasion to deduct from your good housekeeping bond as they are having to pay out money themselves to resolve. We hope you understand, thank you. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved the property and view."

    The sofas and chairs were wonderful and we would love to return again soon! The only issue was all the family complained about the comfort of the beds, too hard and not at all comfortable, we have a sealy mattress at home and we’re glad to get home to it. It was the same for all the guests so we would love to come back but please can you invest in some good quality medium mattresses as this makes a huge difference.

    Thank you very much for your constructive feedback, we will share this with the owner of the property in case they wish to purchase replacements. We are glad you had a wonderful stay and hope to welcome you back to the area soon. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

    Only negatives were the beds which we found to be too hard for our own personal taste. We also could not adjust the temperature settings so we were hot whilst in bed. Everything else was perfect. The house is very well appointed and has all comforts. The hot tub is fabulous.

  • "The check in and check out times actually make the holiday more like 6days not 7 days."

    The crockery needs checking for the correct quantities, only 4 mugs for example. The ventilator in the upstairs bathroom needs attention. We were hoping to stay an additional 3 nights but the charge was only £1.00 less than a full week. The property appeared on the website to be be available. We would have happily paid the pro rate weekly rate. There were only 2 of us and there would have been no additional cleaning, linen etc, disappointing. The property is in a fabulous position for views as well as easy access to the beach and walking opportunities and has the bonus of the hot tub. The parking is less than ideal but manageable but the bigger cars get it could prove an issue.

    Dear Mary, thank you for taking the time to leave your valued comments following your recent holiday with at Gwel an Godrevy and we do hope you enjoyed another lovely stay in St Ives. With regards to the check-in and check-out times, I am pleased to advise these are currently under consideration and we hope to be able to amend these in the near future.

  • "The house was lovely, however, a few issues on arrival, mainly the hottub."

    Water quality poor. Maintenance person turning up at 7am most days, disturbing us, thinking we had been broken into with someone walking around upstairs when we in bed. It got to the point we didn’t want to use the hot tub. It was filthy inside and grime all on the seats. It had taken the shine off the holiday that we paid a premium for and was looking forward to. Another example was the back door handle was broken and although fixed, could not lock the door. Could not get through to anyone as phoning was a waste of time!

    Thank you for your Feedback following your stay at Gwel an Godrevy and we are pleased that you thought it was a lovely property. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you experienced with the hot tub during your stay, the owner has advised that it is maintained by a private company and the water is changed after every guest so would have been clean on your arrival. The company check the tub every few days and add chemicals as necessary. There are recommendations to follow to keep the water in premium condition including showering with soap before entry to ensure sun lotion, moisturisers and fake tan are removed, as these will affect the quality of the water and cause grime to build up in the tub. We are sorry you had a problem as we have had no other feedback of this kind. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

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. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
