Silver Sands

Silver Sand a excellent apartment very clean tidy place, the only one thing we had trouble with was the WIFI password which at first didn't work but the two Carbis Bay Holidays ladies sorted out the right password for WIFI and everything worked ok

What a wonderful apartment it was perfect for our stay.

The views from the window in the living area were great and sitting out on the balcony with a glass of wine when weather permitted was perfect! We loved that we didn’t really use our car but spent the week on the coastal paths, walking and exploring. Would definitely recommend.

Property was lovely, it was a pleasure coming back in the evening and enjoying the views and comfortable sofas etc Convenient location with designated parking and short walk to train station into St Ives The biggest compliment we can make is that it felt like home from home, We would definitely stay again and look forward to going back to Cornwall

Beautiful apartment in a stunning location Well equipped and quality furnishings Very quiet and safe Ideally located for going to St Ives and Portmeister beach by train Spa day in Carbis Bay Hotel was wonderful a real treat Becks fish and chips is a must

Fantastic family stay at Silver Sands in Carbis Bay helped by the absolutely barmy April week of full blue sky sunshine every day !

!! Stayed in this complex back in October with the wife, actually next door but 1, so we knew what to expect when it came to the views from the Balcony. Epic just Epic and you will never tire of it. Silver Sands was a beautifully appointed apartment with great decor and facilities.I couldn't fault it at all although the wife did have 1 gripe in that none of the mirrors, either in the bedroom or bathroom had lights above them when getting ready for a night out, obviously an issue for the ladies, maybe. Location is great being so close to Carbis Beach and the Train station you can leave the car parked for the full week if you so desire. One point to note was in the 10 years or more of staying down in Carbis Bay with either Orange Roofs, Carbis Bay Holidays or Cornish Gems, this was the first stay where there was no Welcome Pack at all other than a pint of milk in the fridge!!! Not sure if that's a Sykes Cottages but it was a tad disappointing, on check in in my opinion but hey ho ! But then I remembered I paid £300 less then book price for the week !!!

We loved are stay in the Silver Sands.

We have stayed a few times over the years and feel it’s a beautiful location to explore this part of Cornwall. Very convenient location for the beach at Carbis Bay and coastal path walk and so close to railway station for trips into St Ives. New shower screen in the En Suite welcomed.

Property is beautiful decorated and in the great location.

Definitely the view is very nice and balcony is a great bonus to enjoy this during the good weather. I liked a secured parking with designated space. However, on our arrival we had issue with opening the gate. When I called agency the person on the phone was lovely, and promised that someone from the maintenance team would call. Unfortunately no-one called at all. For a long time we were keep trying to open the gate and other residents were unhappy with it as it was unsuccessful. We tried to input code provided in email. It's turned up that code provided in email was wrong (missing #at the end). After a long time finally asking a neighbour, we managed to open the gate and get in. Overall cleanliness of the property was OK. Unfortunately, most of the cutlery, plates and cups were dirty (some spoons and forks had a food pieces on it). That was not nice at all after you have a long journey and you would like to straight away eat. Dirty cutlery and plates made me more upset when we discovered that there is no washing up liquid (bottle was empty with literally water down one spoon of iquid). Also, there was no soap to wash hands with. So just a few minutes after we got to the flat, we were forced out to get basic shopping. Apart from this we got 2 dishwasher tablets and 2 laundry capsules. We travel often, also not first time we were renting from Carbis Bay, but that was first time that so many things were unclean and supplies were very little. We appreciated a little welcome chocolate, coffee, tea, and milk - thank you for those. Perhaps, if those little things would be right from beginning, I would happily rent this property again, but maintenance and cleanliness are the last thing you should worry about on your arrival.

Brilliant property, loved it and will definitely be going back!

Fabulous apartment, we had a wonderful stay here!

Beautifully maintained,wonderfully situated property.

Everything you could wish for in a holiday property. Having some mobile difficulties; I would gave liked to have been informed of the steepness of the hill down to the beach and the horrendous parking prices there.

Fantastic apartment in an excellent location.

Regular visitors to Carbis Bay and Silver Sands. Unable to give 5 stars on this occasion as unfortunately we noted that the property was not in its best condition & had deteriorated since our last stay in February 2023. The main issue was the condition of the washing machine- the rubber seal was mouldy & was full of slimy residue .We attempted to clean it but it still needs attention so as not to disappoint other guests.

Lovely apartment with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday.

Views are great and you are perfectly situated to visit local area, on foot, by train or car.

Silver Sands is one of the best properties that we have stayed in at Carbis Bay.

Over the last ten years we have stayed in numerous Sykes and Carbis Bay holiday destinations. The standard of cleanliness, modern furniture and facilities are all first class and the view from the balcony is very pleasing. The kitchen layout and equipment enables you easily prepare food. I am a blue badge disabled person so it was great to be able to use the level entrance into the building. The only downside was that the Sky Q Box was not functioning properly, but Luke from Property Management greatly helped to try and solve this problem. Overall, we would certainly recommend the apartment to others and we will be booking to visit again, later in this year.

Lovely apartment, very comfortable, clean and well equipped.

Felt very safe with the gated entrance. It was well situated, a short walk to the station. Quite a steep walk to the beach so be mindful if you think that it may be a struggle. We visited many nice places, St Michael’s Mount, Healeys cider farm, Eden project and St Ives. Would highly recommend

Beautiful apartment, with excellent facilities and stunning views over the bay

Loved our stay here, the apartment was perfect.

It was well equipped, clean and the furniture was so comfortable. The owners really have made sure that you have everything you need. The view from the apartment was amazing. I could have sat that there all day long just looking out to sea. We hope to return next year

This apartment is absolutely stunning, it has beautiful views from the balcony over Carbis Bay and is extremely well equipped.

It is spacious, spotlessly clean, decorated and furnished like a show home and has everything you could wish for in terms of comfort and practical living. It is only a short walk from the breathing beach of Carbis Bay and the coastal walk to St Ives is delightful plus a little train runs along next to it and is very reasonably priced. We had such a lovely holiday here, we didn't want to go home! Ten out of ten, we will be back!

The property was perfect and if anything it was better than described.

Our booking was handled professionally from start to finish. We loved our stay. Jim

Generally very satisfied.

The only dissatisfaction was that the patio door glass and the balcony glass was quite dirty and spoilt the view. I gather that they are cleaned every two months. If they have been cleaned in that timescale it is insufficient.

A wonderful apartment.

A credit to the owners. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic location overlooking St Ives. Many thanks to all. Annette and Ian Parry.

Lovely property in ideal location.

Very well appointed with everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Will certainly come aga8n.

The property was as described and as per pictures on the site, one of the nicest properties we have stayed in so we were very pleased

Wonderful apartment everything you need and more very well thought out just as described found somewhere to stay when visiting family

We have stayed in the Silver Sands several times, the recent improvements in furniture etc has made the property more appealing.

In a great position to explore the local area, we love the walk along the coastal path into St Ives.

Our second visit was really good apart from no notification ( until we arrived at the apartment and read the info book) that the access to Carbis bay hotel spa had Ben withdrawn ( May 22) .

We booked this apartment 12 months ago , so feel you have let us down. Great apartment great place .

A beautiful apartment with stunning views.

Exceeded expectations on all levels!

Easy booking with no 'jargon' to negotiate.

A great, clean, light and airy apartment with all you need for comfort. A home from home for our one week stay. Highly recommend and we will definitely return.

This was a lovely apartment, we have stayed at The sands before, but in a different apartment, so had a little bit of a heads up with directions and keys etc….

.fantastic views, perfect kitchen and bathrooms and everything was beautifully clean . Two little things we couldn’t get the patio door to unlock in the bedroom however much we tried , so had a few very warm nights and also the car park lights are so bright , so being on the middle floor , even with blackout curtains the light shone through a bit too much . ( we had penthouse last year , top floor ) But it would not put us off from staying again , in fact we are already trying to see if we can get a crafty week away in September. Thankyou and hope to visit again , and sgain

Fabulous apartment, really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent property with all amenities.

Clean and well equipped

The apartment was super clean the balcony needed a bit of a clean but it did not effect our stay The extraction system was turned off and the bathroom got steamy But other than that loved everything The small touches like sandwich containers Maybe flasks for hot drinks would be useful for pic icon the beach

We had a lovely week at Silver Sands.

The apartment has everything you need for a very comfortable stay and it's in the perfect location to explore Cornwall on foot, by train and by car. very The view out over Carbis Bay is beautiful at all times of the day and night matter what the weather. This is our 3rd stay at The Sands and we will be back.

Lovely property with everything you need .

Outstanding apartment with everything you need.

Spotlessly clean with high quality fixtures and fittings. Lovely position and perfect base to explore further afield if you wish to. Could not fault the apartment in any way and would love to return.

Fantastic view, fittings & use of spa was a very welcome bonus thank you!

Hope to be back

Excellent place comfortable great view Had everything we needed Only complaint is the master bed room bed is a very small king size bed - if actually a king but apart from that brilliant place will look to return next year

Everything about the holiday and accommodation was first class .

You wake up in morning and you feel your in a 6 star hotel in the Caribbean!! Well done to your team

Property was fantastic, view and location was perfect.

The use of spa facilities at Carbis Bay really made it a special break. The only negative was the intercom did not work, with only 1 key we had to stay up for our guests. Would return again and also book with Carbis Bay holidays.

Our 2nd stay in this lovely apartment. Really enjoyed our week here and the location was perfect for us. Thank you

Fantastic time, beautiful place and loved the spa passes. I loved seeing the seal at Godrevy, thank you.

Lovely apartment, everything you need to relax. Great views. Julie is a super lovely lady.

Our third Christmas here, lovely as always and thank you for the tree and decorations at such late notice.

We had a lovely time going on walking, seeing seals and dressing up for NYE in St Ives. Although Madison was grumpy at being beaten in a game of Bananagrams

Our 3rd visit to this lovely apartment. Stunning views from balcony. Never tire of walk into St Ives along coastal path. Hope to return very soon.

"We enjoyed Silver Sands, it was clean and comfortable with wonderful sea views, and it met our expectations. We especially enjoyed being able to catch the train into St Ives and had a very good lunch at the Porthmeor Beach Café. We also enjoyed an excellent cream tea at Rosemurgy Farm near Morvah on the road to Lands End." J. Ward

"We had an excellent stay at Silver Sands. Carbis Bay train station is very close to the apartment and it's only a few mintues to St Ives along the coastline, much easier than driving there and trying to find a parking space. Whilst staying at Silver Sands we visited Kynance Cove, the Minack Theatre and the Bedruthan Steps. We also ate at plenty of good restuarants, including the Badger Inn (along the road from the apartment in Lelant), Cherry Trees (Padstow), Manning's (Truro)." J. Cannon

"This is the second time we have stayed in this Silver Sands and the standard was as high as ever, everything was spotless and the apartment is exceptionally equipped. We made a suggestion last time we were there about a blind in the main bedroom and we were very impressed to find that this had been done on our return. Nothing is too much trouble and the service from booking to the end of the holiday was faultless. We caught the bus to Penzance and walked to Mousehole through Newlyn which is a very nice walk also the walk from Penzance to Marazion is flat with beautiful views." Lynda Vickerstaff

"We had a great holiday in the Silver Sands apartment and found the facilities provided and cleanliness were excellent. The welcome touches such as the cream tea and milk in the fridge really were a thoughtful and welcome touch. We had a couple of meals at La Casita at the top of the road and found the standards of food and friendliness of the staff excellent. We used the train several times to get into St Ives and found this really easy and obviously much better than trying to find a parking place in the town." L. Cotchie

"Our holiday was fantastic, we have stayed at The Sands in a different apartment before but Silver Sands exceeded that one, it was exceptionally clean and the furnishings were of a good quality and well looked after. The service from booking to collecting the keys from the housekeeper was faultless. We went to Truro and walked the coast. We will definitely be back." L. Vickerstaff

"We had a great week in Carbis Bay and St Ives with dry, sunny weather for most of the time and we enjoyed all the opportunities presented by the St Ives Festival." M. Morrish

"We were very pleased with Silver Sands, ideally located, wonderful view and spotlessly clean. Restaurants we would recommend are Mount Haven Hotel above Marazion, The Scarlet Hotel near Bedruthan Steps, the cafe above the beach by the north carpark at Sennon Cove, Zizzi's in Falmouth." R. Cheetham

"We had a wonderful week's holiday at Silver Sands. The apartment was beautifully clean and we really appreciated all the little welcoming touches left by Julie, the housekeeper - especially the Easter egg, scones and clotted cream! The apartment had everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. Our two-year old daughter slept brilliantly well in the travel cot in the second bedroom and loved eating in the high chair provided. The fact that the apartment was on the same level as the carpark made access to and from the apartment really easy, even with a pushchair. We really enjoyed day-trips to the Eden Project, St Michael's Mount & Kynance Cove. In terms of toddler-friendly activities, we had a great time at Paradise Park in Hayle, meeting penguins close-up and feeding the goats and sheep. The Play Zone soft play area just down the road in Carbis Bay was also good for a rainy morning." The Hato Family

"Silver Sands is fantastic and it was good to be back there (We were the first ever guests, according to the Visitors book!). We can recommend a couple of places to eat - the new Pizza Express in St Ives was very good; we also enjoyed Fish and Chips at the Balancing Eel - top place. We also had a great day out in Falmouth, which exceeded our expectations, plus Godrevy Point - there were around 100 seals on the beach around from the lighthouse - absolutely awesome. Good beach cafe up there too. We also dined at the new Italian at the Atlantic Hotel. Excellent food, nice people and family friendly." M. & J. Fraser

"We enjoyed our holiday at Silver Sands very much. We loved the apartment, which was very clean, comfortable & well appointed, we enjoyed the lovely view from the window, watching the boats in the bay. We had my parents with us who are both 88 & not very mobile, but they managed very well with the easy access into the property.We visited the Tate, Trengwainton Garden which is nearby & the Eden Project, all of which were very enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed meals at La Casita and The Badger at Lelant (they do a good carvery)." S. Lovegrove

"We really enjoyed our stay at Silver Sands. The standard of accommodation and equipment was above our expectations. The flat was spotless when we arrived. Blas certainly do a good burger and the walk into St Ives is worth the effort. Zennor is also worth a visit, especially the museum. We had a great holiday ." I. McLean

"We' ve had a fantastic Holiday at Carbis bay. Wonderful weather, Silver Sands is a nice Apartment, beautiful countryside. We will come back in One or two years." D. Schneefuss

"We had an excellent stay at Silver Sands, it was one of the very best apartments we have stayed at and we come to the St Ives area at least once or twice each year. The service from Carbis Bay Holidays was very good, friendly and efficient. The apartment was exceptional in cleanliness, specification,bathrooms, position, view, and hi tech in that it has wifi. Best restaurants- Porthminster Beach cafe (on the beach-fish and chips 1/2 price of restaurant and just as good), Porth Gwidden Beach Cafe -excellent food and view, Blas Burgers-food excellent and creative and ambience really friendly, relaxed and innovative-love it!" D. Morrish

"A fabulous time thank you. Could not find fault! The restaurants that we found excellent were: The Loft, Porthminster Cafe and Alfresco. Had a great day out at Sennen and the Beach restaurant was very good." M Beech

"Silver Sands exceeded our expectation it was very clean and provides a high standard of accommodation. I can recommend the apartment to anybody who requires a good standard of accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives with convenient access to the railway station." C.Wilshaw

"We really had a great stay in Silver Sands and Cornwall. The apartment is fabulous and of high quality. It was spotlessly clean on arrival. It was a nice feeling to come back to this beautiful apartment in the evening after a busy day of sightseeing. The walks we really enjoyed were to Zennor Head, Gurnards Head, Godrevy Point, Hells Mouth, Kynance Cove to Lizard. Pendennis castle at Falmouth is worth visiting as it offers fantastic views. The same goes for St. Michael´s Mount. We also enjoyed Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan very much. Our recommendations for restaurants would be La Casita at Carbis Bay and The Badger Inn. Both offer very friendly service and good food especially La Casita. Thanks for offerring this wonderful apartment." Hafiz Munshi

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Silver Sands in Carbis Bay. The apartment was lovely, very clean and well equipped. We loved the walk from Carbis Bay to St Ives and found the train was very useful too to save taking the car to St Ives. It was quite a bargain for the 4 of us travelling together as we could use the Groupsave fare of £4 for the 4 of us for a return journey. It was fun to be in St Ives for November 5th, and to watch the fireworks on Porthminster Beach. We also enjoyed trips out to Lands End, the Minack theatre and the Lizard peninsula. Restaurants we particularly enjoyed were the Seafood Cafe & the Porthminster Beach Cafe, and we also had a superb lunch at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen at Watergate Bay, about 45 minutes drive away." J. Stanton

"I believe that the accommodation actually made the holiday. Overall accommodation was 10 out of 10." F. Gold

"Silver Sands as a holiday accommodation exceeded our expectations on every level. From the secure gated access and allotted parking, to the WI FI access, the cool mood lighting, superbly comfortable beds and invigorating shower to start the day, were all to die for. The facilities are superb, with a quality of finish hard to find anywhere. Then we opened the curtains!!!!!!!!! the view ............Amazing!!" J. Ghent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and the accommodation was excellent. We could not ask for more and the apartment offered everything we required and was beautifully appointed." C. Owen

"We had a fabulous time and we were really impressed with Silver Sands - not least because it was brand new and we were practically the only 'residents' staying that week! the view, the fluffy towels, the peace and quiet.....to name but a few." J. Crawford

"We had a fabulous time at Silver Sands. The apartment was exactly as described on your website, and more. The apartment was spotlessly clean and met our requirements." P. Baker

"Just a short reply to state that the property Silver Sands was excellent in every way. The location, facilities and cleanliness was first class." B. Suddon

"Thank you. We are always very pleased and satisfied with the properties we have stayed in with Carbis Bay holidays. They are of a high standard of decor, style comfort and cleanliness. Our housekeeper Julie Hadfield was very helpful." Christine Dean

"Thank you, once again for a great property. Clean, bright and very suitable for an elderly person with limited mobility. the membership of the Carbis Bay Hotel Spa was a bonus, as we had the discounted afternoon tea and I made use of the pool several times." Caroline and Val Dunton

Exceptional View from a great apartment

"Initial thoughts are you get a secure parking area behind a keypad operated gate. Easy access to an excellent apartment. The view from the lounge is straight out the patio window and you see the sea and St Ives - stunning. It's a great 2 bedroom apartment, in walking distance to the beach and train station. We keep coming back each year."<br/>Paul Dennis

We love this place.

The appartment is beautiful, functional and comfortable.. We really enjoyed Romano's restaurant next to the Costcutter- a delicious addition to Carbis Bay.. Se you all again really soon. Thanks to all the staff and team that make this place possible! - Guest Book review.

We've stayed at a number of 'The Sands' apartments and Silver Sands is up there with the best.

We've loved it and will certainly be returning soon! Thank you! - Guest book Review.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and can see why so many people return!

The apartment is beautiful wonderfully comfortable and clean. The view from the balcony is quite magical! For other guests we particularly recommend the coastal walks to St.lves, Porthkidney Beach, and Lelant. Also the Land's End Coaster bus which we picked up where it started at Penzance to ensure good seats. The Old Forge at Lelant Bier Huis Grand Café in St. Ives and La Casite. just up the road were great for food/drink. - Guest book review.

After a very long drive it was lovey to arrive in this lovley appartment.

Everything we could want, light and airy and loved the sea air and views from the balacony. Headed to St Ives on the train which was great but very busy. Carbis Bay was definetly a good choice, Lands End was also a surpisingly good day out. - Guest book review.

We have had a fabulous week at Silver Sands.

Such a lovely appartment- home from home. The weather was kind to us during our stay and we enjoyed a number of days on the beach at Carbis Bay. The location is perfect for exploring and catching the train to St Ives. We enjoyed a trip to seal island on the Doll P- Mike was extremely knowledgeable. We headed to Lands End and where suprised by how much there was to do there, we will definitely be back to Carbis bay and hope to stay at Silver Sands again! - Guest book review.

Lovely appartment, clean & fitted out well, best we have been to in Carbis.

Hope to visit again, thank you & best wishes, we loved being here. - Guest book review.
