• "We a lovely break and if priced appropriately would consider staying again."

  We have stayed at several apartments in this block over the last 10 years and there are a few things that let it down compared to the others. The left hand bedroom door doesn’t open ( as stated by others on trip advisor so you know about it) the lounge doors do not lock at the top and so a bit draughty . If you know about it why not fix it? Same comment applies to the lamp in the lounge - some shades missing, odd bulbs and only one works - this makes the apartment look cheap. The cleanliness was ok ( noting that there’s a comment in guest book that a previous customer 2 weeks ago needed to give the place a deep clean , so perhaps this is why ) but we did need to clean the shower head as it was really grubby and personally I’d rather my water came from a clean source. All of this may sound trivial but if you expect people to pay top end prices you need to invest a very small proportion of your income back into the property. By comparison other properties in the block have been better .

  Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you had a lovely break away. If you have any issues during your stay, please call the local office on 01736 630015 and one of the team will be able to attend straight away. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "Had a lovely holiday again at Halfway tree, although there were a couple of issues."

  The cleanliness of the property was not up to standard. The oven shelves were filthy black with burnt on grease. The toaster and cutlery draw were full of crumbs and dirt. The toilets had dried poo in the pan and the sinks had soap stuck around the edges. The dining table was sticky and so was the floor, when we mopped it the water was black. As an experienced housekeeper in hospitality I understand that you have limited time to clean the properties, so we decieded to do it ourselves as it would be quicker and easier. We did have some maintenance problems, but they were dealt with right away and we were very satisfied. The only other thing we would suggest, is that the balcony should have chairs and a table to cater for four people as advertised. Despite the negatives, we had an amazing holiday, we love the apartment and location and will definitely book for next year

  Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear that the property was not up to our usual standard on your arrival, your comments have been passed onto the correct departments to ensure these things don’t happen again. If you have any issues like this during your stay please contact the local office on 01736 630015 as we would always like the opportunity to rectify any points and we will be able to assist straight away. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "Lovely location and property."

  Bathrooms need to be updated! Bidet (not used by us) leaked throughout our stay and the ensuite smells mouldy. I had to buy a scent diffuser but it was still quite overpowering. Otherwise great apartment which was nicely clean. Telescope was a great addition. Good WiFi coverage.

  Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to hear you thought the apartment was lovely. We will be sure to address the issues you've raised. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "Carbis bay I’ll try and make this succinct."

  Pros View, Location and access to the beach deserve every superlative. You get the feeling that they want you to enjoy using the apartment and have a great time. Decor and art work gorgeous. little touches, toiletries good quality that smell divine binoculars, lovely towels, welcome pack. Windbreaks and beach chairs. ( pack a mallet) Bidet. Every home you have one. Maybe that’s just me. Negatives but not a deal breaker considering the positives The Wi-Fi phone and Tv signals are poor, no Tv in the bedroom. Couldn’t work the sky box, despite reading & rereading the detailed instructions. Maybe it was us. Lots of missing light bulbs, no spares as described. Broken light shade on the stunning lamp We didn’t do it. Only one of the double doors to the Juliette balcony opens. Would have been a treat if two did. I loved laying on the bed watching the sea. Balcony furniture not as shown, two plastic chairs and a small low coffee table. We used the balcony a lot and were disappointed to find we couldn’t eat our meals on the balcony as suggested. Despite the negatives, We didn’t want to leave.

• "This was possibly the best property that we have stayed in."

  It was very nicely decorated, clean and spacious. The location was absolutely brilliant and views were amazing. The appliances, pots, pans, knives etc were all good quality and worked exactly as they should. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils etc, I could have easily cooked a full mea, which is often not the case in holiday homes. Bathrooms were big, showers very powerful, the private balcony by the front door was ideal for drying wetsuits and leaving sandy shoes outside. All in all an absolutely fantastic stay, we’ll be back. Thank you so much.

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

• "We had a fantastic time at Halfway Tree."

  The apartment was spotlessly clean had everything we needed and was very comfortable . The views from the apartment were breathtaking and it was wonderful to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. The surrounding area was stunning and we felt and thought we were in the Mediterranean. It was easy to get to St Ives by train which took only a few minutes. We were sorry to leave and would definitely recommend Halfway Tree. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

  Dear Eleanor, we are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Halfway Tree and found the apartment spotless! The area surrounding Halfway Tree is stunning and we are glad that you were also able to experience this. We hope to welcome you back to Cornwall in the future.

• "We had an enjoyable stay in this lovely apartment with gorgeous sea views."

  Enjoyed the coastal walk to St Ives and the nearby railway station allowed us to travel without always using the car. The walk around Navax Point looking towards Godrevy Island enabled us to watch the seals and their pups.

• "A comfortable, well kitted out apartment."

  Sometimes they are style over substantance, but the view was just as amazing as the photos (even in March!) sofas not only looked good but were comfortable, the beds were good ,there were enough cups to have drinks and still put a couple of lots in the dishwasher. Although it is “first floor” the whole block is built on a slope so you actually walk down half a flight to the entrance door, so no problems for my Mum who walks with a stick or getting my shopping delivered. The view is truly stunning. The train station is just behind the car park up a very steep incline, and the ride to St Ives is only £2 and 4 minutes, much easier than finding a parking space. Plenty to visit, would recommend the Minnack Theatre, the PK museum, Tate St Ives and Trevaskis Farm for lunch.

• "Upon arrival, we were shocked to find a “number 2” waiting for us in the main bathroom."

  Given that you expect toilet facilities to be sanitised ahead of your arrival we were concerned as quite obviously human faeces in the toilet pan shows all is not as it should be. In fact, prompted to look, it became apparent that a whole host of simple cleaning tasks had been over looked:- the toilet brushes in both bathrooms were dirty and rendered unusable, the brush in the kitchen was embedded with clumps of human hair and was rendered unusable, the skirting boards throughout were dusty, the shelves in the master bedroom were thick with dust, a towel was soiled (unsure if it had been washed or not, it was at best unsightly) which we felt unable to use, the bin in the kitchen was dirty with waste, there were finger prints on doors and mirrors, the cupboard under the kitchen sink was dirty and the cutlery tray was dirty with dust and food crumbs. The bathroom was in a league of its own, dirt encrusted around the skirting boards, soiled laundry basket, soiled bath mat and of course, the toilet itself. There were no cleaning products so we had to source our own and set about cleaning, effectively within minutes of arrival - having paid in excess of £1000 we believe we had a right to expect better indeed, you would get better in a budget hotel! We raised our concerns immediately and to be fair some of these were dealt with when a cleaner was sent to us but obvious ones were not (the brush in the kitchen complete with human hair remained untouched up to the point of out departure) and even then we had to wait until the following day. It is such a shame, the property enjoys pretty much unravelled views and location. In other circumstances we would potentially be looking to return, but not now, not ever. We were so looking forward to enjoying what the property was meant to offer however we were left feeling grubby, certainly days one and two were utterly ruined - we do not expect to have to clean after a cleaner and without doubt we do not expect a soiled toilet to await us.

  Thank you very much for your Feedback and we are extremely sorry that you experienced these issues when you arrived at Halfway Tree and very disappointed that it did not reach our usually very high standards of cleanliness. As you are aware we notified the Housekeeper that looks after the property of the problems as soon as you spoke with our office and a member of their team attended the property to rectify the situation. Once again we would like to pass on our sincere apologies for this situation. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "This is our second stay."

  We felt the property is becoming shabby in some respects; quality control is deficient. The main reason for this comment was the number of dead light globes: Main bathroom ceiling - 1 of 2 Main bathroom light over mirror Ensuite bathroom - 2 of 3 Lounge room ceiling - 1 of 3. When replaced it was with a mismatched globe (bright white instead of soft white) Lounge room wall light - 1 of 4 Lower oven light Also, Kitchen clock battery dead - I replaced that with my own. Torch batteries in kitchen drawer almost dead. Bed linen in main bedroom starting to look tired, and the duvet cover had a couple of ties that were broken. We made two notifications to your office, and had two resultant visits from the maintenance people. It was apparent that they were unable to obtain some types of globe, and by the time we vacated no further action had been taken to finalise the job, leaving two globes still dead in the main bathroom. We are disappointed that the tariff has increased by around 30% for our September 2022 booking - five star prices for less than 5 star attention to detail.

  Dear Ruth, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide Feedback following your recent stay at Halfway Tree and I am very sorry to hear you felt the apartment did not reach our usual high standards I am pleased to advise all lights in the property are now working, including the two in the bathroom. With regards to the pricing, there has been a huge demand for staycations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance. Thank you again for your Feedback and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  We stayed in this one two years ago and since then it feels a bit tired. The placemats, glasses and mugs are all damaged, marked or fading and there is a broken tap in the bathroom. The cleaning needs a bit more attention as well, particularly given heightened sensitivities in covid times. When we arrived we found some old, opened ice cream in the freezer and later when looking under the bed we found a dirty old sock. On the positive side the addition of a nespresso machine is a great addition and I don’t think was listed!

  Dear Nathaniel, Thank you very much for your feedback, it is much appreciated. We will pass this across to the owner of the property and also highlight the cleaning issues to the housekeeping team.

• ""The location of this property is ideal if you are travelling by rail as the local station is an easy stroll around the corner."

  We chose to stay in these apartments because they appeared to be so close to the bay. Halfway Tree was wonderfully well equipped, clean and with the most perfect view of the sea. Fabulous to be able to hear it too. We spent quite a time in the apartment as it was so relaxing only making short trips down the private path (surprisingly easy even though we experience some mobility problems) and getting a snack at the Carbis Bay Hotels' restaurant on the beach. Also, a trip or two to St Ives on the train, so convenient. Special thanks to the staff in the Carbis Bay holidays agency who handled our booking and sent helpful extra info prior to our holiday, were always prompt and polite and friendly and to our housekeeper Kerry who met us in the biggest rainfall we'd had this year and settled us in. Also, thanks to the rest of the housekeeping team who called to prepare the apartment for the next visitors just as we were leaving, how patient and friendly they were. We would definitely recommend using Carbis Bay Holidays and staying in the Halfway Tree Beach apartment. "

• ""A great holiday in Halfway Tree, it fully met all of our expectations in terms of furniture, fittings and outlook."

  The location and views over the bay were superb and the proximity to the railway made visiting St Ives a much more pleasant and convenient experience than driving and parking. The Coastal Walkway to St Ives was also very pleasant and not too challenging. The path to Lelant is a bit narrower, with more ups and downs and more restricted views - but providing access to the fabulous deserted beach. One of the best experiences we had was at Goonhilly Downs, at the Offroad Segway centre - approx 45 minutes from Carbis Bay. Eating out was all very good, the Badger being excellent value for money and the small Italian restaurant, Caffe Pasta, facing the harbour on the west side, providing a high quality and not too expensive lunch."

• ""It's fair to say that we did have a really good time in Carbis Bay."

  We were lucky to have some sunshine and also experienced the wrath of a Cornish storm which made for a dramatic afternoon watching the waves from the comfort of the front room. There is little praise to heap on the accommodation that you won't have heard before, it is a very well furnished flat with lots of space and light, and a brilliant kitchen. We decided, that in the many holidays we have had over the years - to the Caribbean, to many cities, New Zealand, Dubai etc - this is the most spectacular and inspirational view we have ever had. It really is a privilege to have woken up every day to such a beautiful scene - and in England! Regarding the restaurants, the pick of the bunch was the Porthminster Cafe with its signature monkfish curry dish, but you need to book and it's expensive. Mermaids was also excellent, as was Alba. For those going a bit further, Rick Stein's Seafood bar in Falmouth was superb with a tapas menu based on his travels around Spain and all delicious. We also went to see the Kidz R Us production of the Seussical while we were there - would recommend any visitors going to see their work if it is on at the time. Incredible energy from a talented group of kids. My husband had a great time building sandcastles and exploring the rocks with our son. Carbis Bay and the surrounding area is stunning offering an incredible ambiance and the perfect setting for a relaxed family holiday." T. Vokes

St Ives and the surrounding area is lovely, having not visited for many years myself and this being the first time I have taken my own children, I am glad to see it hasn't been spoilt and commercialised like many areas. The service given by yourselves has been excellent with very comprehensive information supplied. We hopefully look forward to another holiday with yourselves next year." P. Flint

• ""Thank you for a wonderful stay at Halfway Tree."

  The apartment itself was clean and spacious and allowed plenty of space for our young children to enjoy themselves whilst we were there. Having the free wifi and sky tv were also bonuses as we felt that we were at home and not out of touch. One of the best parts of the holiday was coming back to the apartments with a beautiful view and the sound of the tide lapping on the shore." J. Kanwar

• ""We had a really fantastic time staying at Halfway Tree."

  The apartment is really great - very spacious, clean and such an amazing view! It felt like being on an island somewhere and we didn't want to leave! The coastal walk to St. Ives was very nice and we went to the Eden Project, which was a really good day out. Thankyou very much for a great holiday and we hope to come back in the near future." Anon
