  • "An amazing apartment with the best view in St Ives."

    Both modern and cozy with everything you need for a relaxing stay in St Ives. Perfect location being so central, but so quiet you don’t hear a thing, other than the waves! Highly recommend.

  • "The property was perfect for us."

    Very easy to keep clean and ‘run’. The bed was especially comfortable! Obviously the spectacular view from the living space/balcony was the main attraction- rather like a living work of art. Fantastic to go to sleep listening to the waves. Parking and access on arrival with luggage, food supplies etc was the main problem . I made a hasty exit from the car with as much luggage as possible and wheeled it along to the apartment much to the frustration of other vehicles and passers by. My husband managed to find parking up behind the Tate. Perhaps a photo of Piazza entrance and parking warning might be helpful? Otherwise a fantastic holiday, great local restaurants, pubs, history, art ..and the Ocean!!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback after your recent stay. We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely time, and also found the bed particularly comfy! Having an apartment so close to the beach does prove challenging for parking at times, but we are pleased to hear you managed to park behind The Tate. We would love to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future, so please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can help with. Best Wishes, The Team at Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner

  • "Great location, fantastic apartment with incredible views."

    We had a lovely week in Louis Lofts. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. But overlooking the beach and being able to spend the days watching the sun rise / set was what made it extra special. I would say with the beach being on your doorstep, the apartment block needs a facility to be able to wash down / off the sand and a broom in the apartment. But you can work around this they would be extra touches.

  • "An amazing place with the most unbelievable view!"

    We had a fantastic stay at Louie’s Loft and would definitely stay here again. It was so lovely waking up each day to the most stunning view of Porthmeor Beach. The apartment was modern and clean and certainly big enough for our family of 4. We used all the facilities such as oven, microwave, dishwasher. The direct access to the beach was really convenient, and everything was just on the doorstep such as shops and restaurants. We hired a parking space for the week at The Edward Hain Centre which was about 15 minutes walk away and would definitely recommend this as well. You are able to unload your belongings in the Piazza car park and we even had a Tesco shop delivered. An unreal week in St.Ives - we will definitely be returning!

  • "The property itself was lovely As a couple we’d stay again, but not with others because of the Jack & Jill bathroom."

    A washing machine would have been much more useful than a dishwasher. We don’t cook whilst away. We adored the balcony/view/location but were disappointed to find old seagull poo on windows/balcony. Expected this to have been removed before arrival. We were very unhappy with Sykes customer service or lack of The phone numbers provided were not in service - people directed to the on line portal/app. Even then questions were not answered. It was too hot to sleep and bedroom windows were locked & no sign of keys to open them. Also we couldn’t find a fan which meant we needed to sleep with the front door open - not ideal. If only Sykes had looked after us/answered the phone/responded to messages our experience would have been much better. We booked 2 properties concurrently with Sykes for this vacation but won’t use them again. We return annually and need the reassurance of having support when needed.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your recent stay at Louie’s Loft. The apartment complex offers a convenient on-site private laundry facility for holidaymakers. To maximise space within the apartment, a washing machine is not provided. Instead, a dishwasher is included to ensure the best possible facilities for your stay. We do understand the challenges that come with the current nesting season. Please be assured that the windows are cleaned at every changeover. However, due to the nesting activity, any marks that appear afterwards are unfortunately beyond our control. We're sorry to hear that you were unable to get in touch with our team during your stay. We’ve looked into this and couldn’t find any record of contact made by your party. That said, we would welcome the chance to speak with you and assist with any concerns. Please feel free to reach out to us on 01736 630015. Our office is open from 9am to 5:30pm, Monday to Saturday, and we also provide a 24-hour emergency out-of-hours service.

    The location of this apartment is so perfect we didn’t use the car at all. We used the app just park to rent a car parking spot on someone’s drive and that solved the parking issues.

  • "This property is probably one of my favourite places we've stayed."

    It looks as though it has been recently renovated and it is incredibly well thought out for guests. It has, in my opinion, all the facilities you need for a comfortable and easy stay. With an easy walk to town (easy as in close, it is very hilly but we had no issues with the pram if you're happy to pick it up for stairs etc). We also had our two year old with us and it felt safe, and worked very well with the bunk bed room. The balcony and view is just phenomenal, it is obviously the highlight. It really is on the beach, and the sound of waves through the apartment will send you into a lovely lull of a sleep and it is very relaxing watching the waves, which when the tide is in, feels as though it engulfs the apartment. It's very special. We went in May, when we had a very small pocket of good weather (ie. no rain!) and it was still very pleasant. My son enjoyed the beach and the gate is directly under the property, with a little well to wash off the sand on your feet by the stairs, so was easy to go back and forth. I would think if we went in the height of summer, it would be even more unbelievable. If it wasn't such a drive away, I think I would have booked for next month already! There were two negatives which would be no parking but even then, there is room to unload and the car park is not far of a walk. It cost us £27 for 7 days at the long stay car park. I saw another review mention a broom for sand, there was a little hoover but yes, a broom with a dustpan would be incredibly helpful and is definitely needed. But these negatives, in my opinion, will not deter another visit and are incredibly minor.

    Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to see that this is one of your favourite places to stay. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic property with stunning views, the only downfall was the problems we encountered in getting to the property by car, parking to unload was tricky, and forward booking of the Island Car park did not guarantee a space."

    Overall excellent property that was expertly designed, but we should have spent more time with homework on Google maps. If we did return would most likely go by train and cab.

    Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see that the property was excellent. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Under-floor heating didn't work the radiators only tepid even on maximum number 5"

    The heating system at Louie’s Loft is without fault, only 11 months old and has both gas central heating and electric underfloor heating, making it capable of comfortably heating a property twice its size. It would have been better if instead of contacting Carbis Bay Holidays after you left the property (in an attempt to get a substantial discount), you phoned them when you first arrived so they could have then sent a member of their team to show you how to adjust the heating, even though it is clearly shown in the owners handbook. We are disappointed it spoiled your stay, but this wouldn’t have happened if you had contacted the holiday company in the first place. Kind regards, The Property Owner Property Owner

The property

Louies Loft.

a contemporary, first-floor apartment, sits in a modern development in the popular harbour town of St Ives.

Boasting panoramic sea views over Porthmeor beach, Louies Loft provides a first-class escape for a family of four looking to holiday in Cornwall.

Enter the apartment and head into the open-plan living space and immediately you will be drawn to the stunning beach views.

The kitchen boasts everything you could possibly need, including Neff and Smeg appliances, Porcelanosa tiles, and top-notch hacienda black oak, providing the perfect environment to prepare, cook and enjoy mealtimes as a family.

Serve up the fruits of your labour at the dining table before sinking into the sumptuous settee and tuning into the 55” Smart TV.

Watch the sunset from the balcony, boasting spectacular seaside views as you enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage, and in the cooler months, the glass doors provide a wonderful backdrop for the living area.

The Porthmeor Beach, a sanctuary for watersports and surfing, can be accessed from the development through a residence door, while St. Ives Harbour is only a short stroll away; here you can spend the days people watching and appreciating a variety of boats that draw into the dock.

St. Ives offers a selection of tasty eateries and independent shops, and lunch at the oldest pub in St. Ives, The Sloop Pub, is a must, and you can stock up at the Norway Stores, a 100 metre walk from the property.

Lace up your walking boots and trail the South West Coast Path before wandering into the centre of St Ives to find a pub for a refreshing pint and bit of grub.

There’s also a wealth of fantastic restaurants to sample, including The Rum & Crab Shack for the catch of the day, Pedn Olva with a sun terrace for alfresco meals, and Porthminster Beach Café.

Be sure to explore the wonders of Tate St. Ives and the sculptures of the Barbara Hepworth Museum, a must for the artists of the group, whilst those seeking a bit of fun can head to the Paradise Park and Jungle Barn Cornwall for a great day out!
