  • "The property has stunning views, very clean and tidy."

    Plenty of towels, soft bed linen and having a washing machine really helped. A couple of things we had issues with- the bath leaked and this made the carpet damp in the bedroom where the boys slept and left a smell. i reported but had no feedback. The WiFi only seemed to work in the upstairs bedroom so couldn’t get most of the freeview channels in the living room. I reported this along with the broken ironing board and the tap dripping in the kitchen. I tried via what’s app and on the online account but barely got a response. Apart from this we were very happy with our stay and the kids loved it! Would definitely recommend.

    Thank you for taking time the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased that you where very happy with your stay. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. The local Carbis Bay Holidays offices are open 9-5.30, Monday-Saturday and are available on 01736 630015. We hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "This has been out 3rd visit, and thoroughly enjoyable, but I would just mention a few things."

    We were disappointed there was no hand soap in the bathroom or en-suite. On arrival after a journey a fairly necessary thing to have in place really.Of course we go to tesco as soon as we've unpacked. The metal dish rack on the draining board is rusty. Not all the undercupboard lighting works, the en-siite basin tap needs some adjusting and the main bathroom toilet roll holder needs replacing, although everyone seems to think it's great fun taking bets on if it's still going to be there! Having said all that we really love staying at Valley View and are looking forward to our next visit. The help line people are wonderful and anything that needs tending to is dealt with swiftly. As I say my comments are not complaints, just comments!

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to see you again and the you had an enjoyable stay. We are glad to see that you are pleased with our teams services with tending to any issues and that these are all dealt with swiftly. We shall looking into the points you have raised for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    All rooms were spacious with comfortable beds, the kitchen was well equipped, the fridge did have a Good awful smell to it though, I believe there was damp beneath it which will need looking in to.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay, sorry that you found the fridge smelt, please let us know if this is the case during your stay and a member of the team will attend straight away.

  • "Great property, lovely location and was well stocked with a fully equipped kitchen."

    Pillows and beds super comfy, lots of wardrobe space and hangers! Hairdryer handles were very sticky with gel/hairspray so I ended up cleaning one as it stuck to my hand every time I used it! Slightly disappointed that there was no recycling facilities so I had to bring it home! Would definitely stay again

    Dear Sharon, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at the property and would like to stay again! We will pass you comments onto the owner for their consideration regarding the recycling. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Cornwall soon.

  • "Excellent accommodation and fantastic views."

    The pillows were not comfortable and caused me neck ache. The downstairs toilet was not checked before we arrived and needed to be repaired. Shower heads need to be cleaned before each guest as there was a build up of limescale deposits. All in all a great holiday and these are minor points for the landlords future reference.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed 'St Ives Bay View' and had a great holiday. We have raised your points with the housekeeper and apologise for any inconveinience caused. Kindest Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "St Ives Bay View: This is very difficult, as, I am not one of those people who moan about trivia such as having 'no can opener' and things like that, but as nice as the property is, and it is nice, everything nice about it was negated by the poor quality beds and our resulting backaches that followed."

    I practise yoga & hubby does football, so it was not down to our bad posture & fitness, but to the sheer softness of these beds providing zero support. It was sheer torture on our backs, so much so, even my yoga couldn't heal my back quick enough. It was like sleeping on a camping inflatable lilo. The king upstairs had a bulge in the middle, so we kept falling off to the even softer sides where there was no support at all hitting the wooden frame around the bed. My daughter & hubby only stayed two nights and said the same of the twin beds. When we removed the bedding, they were the same make. I am used to a high quality firm zip and linked king bed that is still as firm 20yrs later! We left a day early, as we couldn't bear another evening sleeping on the bed and our backs were hurting. The other issue was that we had to put white towels on the corners of the bed frame after both of us cut our legs on the corners, what with the bed frame being identical in colour to the floor and sticking out some way from the bed itself. Anything, I haven't mentioned was good and the welcome pack was a very nice touch, but overall, I could never stay there again due to the poor quality beds.

    Thank you ever so much for your feedback, we are so sorry that you found the mattresses so uncomfortable, we have checked our records and the mattresses were recently replaced (Feb 22). We will attend on the next changeover to investigate your feedback and report to the owner if the mattresses are not up to standard so we can bring this up with the company who has supplied them. If there are any issues during your stay, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 01736 630015 (option 2) and we will be very happy to help in any way we can.

  • "Apart from a few minor issues when we arrived and trying to resolve them with Carbis Bay Holidays, ie no obvious up to date information pack, extremely ill-fitting sheet on one of the beds, TV didn't work properly, no tin opener; the property itself was a lovely apartment, very clean, spacious and modern and with great views of the bay."

    It'd be ideal if the issues we'd described could have been resolved on the weekend we arrived rather than waiting till the Monday. Otherwise, staff were very helpful and friendly by phone and in person.

    The walk to St Ives was delightful so just take your time and enjoy the view and steps. It was a very central location to drive to all the Cornwall sights and not have to deal with skinny roads and traffic like St Ives. The view from the living area and upstairs bedroom was magical as we watched the weather change daily overlooking the little lighthouse in the distance."

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.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property. Access to the apartment is via 13 external steps. There is one flight of stairs internally with 12 steps.
