Chy Kerris, Carbis Bay

The house was set in a really good area and was a nice house.

It did have a good standard of facilities, however this was let down by the cleanliness. Floors did not look swept,lots of crumbs under dining table and fridge inside and out was very grubby. We emptied the full vacuum and re swept the floors which filled the vacuum back up again. Clearly they have not swept for some time. We found half a bag of potatoes under the sink which were sprouting and had clearly been there a few weeks. Kettle in the kitchen was very crusty with limescale and unpleasant looking so we had to spend the week boiling water in a pan. We found screwed up towels thrown in the wardrobe on top of a set of draws in there ( road side double bedroom at the front)and it was unclear if they had been used or not. I am also not totally convinced the bedsheets had actually been changed but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Surfaces were sticky e.g. door handles, banister etc. We ended up going back up to Tesco and buying cleaning equipment and then spent the next several hours bringing it up to a reasonable standard. Not what I expected to do on my arrival. The house clearly need a good deep clean. It is a shame as all the extra touches were so nice like the flower and welcome basket however the lack of cleaning really overshadowed this.

A beautiful house in a perfect location with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing time away.

Another fantastic week at Chy Kerris.

Splendid accommodation as usual with everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend.

Fantastic property, well equipped, cosy, warm and near local amenities and the coastal path.

Welcome hamper was a delightful extra. Will re-book.

A lovely, well equipped and comfortable home from home.

Great location for exploring Cornwall with parking. I would definitely recommend staying here. I very much appreciated the welcome hamper, flowers plus milk, orange juice and eggs. I hope to return in the future.

Great holiday home with everything we needed (except a pizza cutter!

) Everything was clean and tidy, and we loved the welcome hamper. The location is ideal for the beach or the train to St Ives. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

A comfortable house, containing everything needed for a week away.

Great location for the beach, and cliff walks. The welcoming hamper was a lovely touch, and much appreciated.

Amazing house, beautiful welcome hamper.

Everything you need is available, including tea and coffee. Beds really comfortable, all towels included, definitely home from home. Would definitely recommend, we will be returning

Excellent holiday cottage in a quiet location providing all you would need especially the welcome package which was a special touch.

We had a lovely stay and the property was well equipped wigh everything you could possibly want including a lovely hamper.

All bed linen ,towels etc was provided which was great and in very good clean condition. I was though very disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage ,it did appear that no-one had checked the property before the next visitors arrived , we had to clean out the fridge due to spilt liquid in the bottom, wipe down the bannister as this was dirty and very sticky. Cobwebs hanging in all rooms ,dust on door ledges and across the top of the head boards ( not just a weeks dust) For the amount of money that my family and i paid i feel the property should of been checked over thoughly to ensure it was all in a clean condition.

An excellent stay.

Lovely house, very homely and comfortable with everything you need for a stay. A nice welcome pack on arrival. We would 100% stay here again

Chy Kerris is a lovely holiday let, located a short walk uphill from the beach.

The property is well maintained, very clean and comfortable - ideal if you are seeking a quiet location near the coast with easy access by train to St Ives. Fully enjoyed our stay there.

Perfect holiday accommodation

The property was perfect for my family’s needs.

Clean, modern, comfortable, well thought out and very well equipped. It’s within walking distance of beautiful Carbis Bay beach, Carbis Bay train station, bus stops and shops. With a two car parking bay you could holiday there and never use the car. Being on top of the hill there are sea views from the bedroom windows. A really lovely holiday home I would happily return to.

A beautiful property in an attractive location and handy for the station.

Well maintained and very comfortable. Always an introductory hamper with several essentials to start the week off with.

All good at the property.

Clean, good facilities & lovely welcome pack. Handy for bus/train.

Had another wonderful stay at Chy Kerris.

The property is very homely, beds are so comfortable and we never want to leave. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Definitely will be booking again and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Chy Kerris was perfect.

Modern, comfortable and had everything we needed for a week away. Would definitely book again.

Chy Kerris is ideally situated and felt like a home from home.

Had everything needed to make our stay more than comfortable Already booked for 2024

Location works perfectly for us to do all the usual places.

St Ives Sennen ,Porhcurno Hayle and more The extremely generous welcome pack is a real bonus as is the supply of tea.coffee and kitchen cleaning needs Chy Kerris is a perfect house for five

Enjoyed our time at Chy Kerris, property was spotless and comfortable, would stay again.

A beautiful property comfortable and well maintained.

In a fantastic location, only a short walk down to the sea and beach. Well stocked with essentials like soap, dish washing tablets, toilet rolls, bin bags, etc. A welcome basket and flowers is always a great start to a holiday.

Been to Chy Kerris several times and the welcome is always excellent.

Comfortable, clean and a great location. What more could you want!

We had fabulous stay at Chy Kerris, everything you could wish for in a holiday home.

Thank you. Will definitely book again.

Lovely clean, modern property.

Very conveniently situated close to train station and bus stop and also general store. Easy access to St Ives. Downhill walk to beautiful beach at Carbis Bay and coastal path. All essentials provided and a generous welcome hamper. Handy outside seating area. Definitely recommended.

A really lovely cottage in a beautiful spot

Wow, such a great property in a beautiful location.

There is a steep hill down to the beach and back up to the property but well worth it. Property had everything we needed and more. We stayed for a week and didnt want to leave! Carbis Bay is stunning and you can catch a train into St. Ives that only takes a few minutes which the kids loved doing. I would highly recommend.

This is a fabulous property, located in an excellent area, handy for the beach at Carbis Bay.

There is access to a railway station nearby which allows access into St Ives, but there is also a stunning coastal path to walk into St Ives. The property was perfect, with good outside space as well everything we needed inside. Would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely beautiful property fully equipped.

Very comfortable and great location. Only would suggest you let people know there are children's plastic cups and plates; I brought lots with me unnecessarily. But not really a negative - just properties not usually so well equipped!

We absolutely loved our 8 night stay at Chy Kerris.

The house is lovely, spacious, very clean & very comfortable, beds that comfy were buying the same mattresses for our beds. Everything we needed was provided for our stay. The hamper was really nice too, we felt right at home and after our 8 hour journey we were so happy to be greated by such a wonderful place. The garden is really nice. We spent our days during the heatwave enjoying the beaches and exploring Cornwall. We will most definitely be back to stay again , it was paradise.

Excellent property very clean and comfortable love the welcome pack just disappointed with the bbq

A clean, comfortable property with all necessary facilities.

In a good location, close to St Ives and close to the A30 for getting out and about in other parts of Cornwall. In a nice quiet road, the only noise we heard was the recycling collection at about 7.00am one morning. We’ve already booked again for next year!

Absolutely loved our stay, it was just what we needed and very impressed with the process, information provided and the house itself.

My only negative comment is that the floorboards are so creaky upstairs, especially heard from downstairs. Would stop again :).

Fantastic holiday house, airy and spacious whilst still feeling comfortable and homely.

Lovely hosts, and luxury welcome pack. Fast wifi and full Smart TV was a welcome change from our usual holiday house experience! Great location, just 10mins to beach, 5 mins to train stop into St Ives, great restaurants within 5-10 mins. The beach is stunning and so clean with good facilities. Wide variety of activities and attractions within easy reach….we had a paddle board lesson with the Ocean Sports Centre down on the beach which was a lot of fun, saw a show at the Minack Theatre which was a beautiful setting, lamp lit story / ghost walk with Shanty Baba in St Ives, Tate St Ives. I can highly recommend both the holiday house and location :)

Many thanks to Alex for an excellent stay as usual.

Pristine house, very comfortable and great location.

Couldn't have been happier with Chy Kerris.

Perfect location and spotlessly clean. Thanks Alex ,would certainly recommend this property.

Lovely house and up to its usually great standard.

Will be back soon.

The house is beautiful.

Very modern, everything you could need is included. Secure garden. Sea views from the master bedroom.The location is perfect. Very close to the beach. Perfect in every way

Chy Kerris is a lovely house.

It is well equipped and very comfortable. It is well situated for the beach and a short drive distance away from lots of different tourist attractions. Overall, the accommodation was satisfactory. As with most places, you can always find something that could do with doing. The bathroom seals need replacing soon, and some of the shower lights had mold in them so could do with a good clean. There was dust on the lampshades and hair still on the bedroom carpet. The decking area was full of sand/stones and there were some cobwebs on the windows. Therefore, I did feel the accommodation was cleaner once I had left. I would definitely recommend this property to stay in as it was well equipped, had a light and airy feel, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Not more you could ask for really.

Chy Kerris is in a calm and peaceful location, easy for trains to St Ives and for the beach at Carbis Bay.

The kitchen and outdoor dining area are good for enjoying food, the barbecue helps to add to the flavours. The beds are of good quality and coupled with the sea air help to make for a good nights sleep. We very much enjoyed our stay, we wanted to stay longer.

Great facilities exactly as described.

Good location and would recommend and will go back. Thanks so much

Amazing accommodation, 2nd visit for us and we’ll definitely be back again.

So spacious and the beds were fantastic! My little boy loved the single bedroom and being able to see the sea. Once again a lovely welcome hamper with some lovely treats in - thanks so much Alex. Perfect location for walking to the beach and hopping on the train to st ives. Strongly recommend this holiday accommodation to anyone :)

Chy kerris is beautiful!

It’s like home from home. Was lovely and clean, beds are so comfy & it has everything you need from a bbq, washing line, every cooking utensils down to fresh flowers and a lovely Luxury hamper left for us all. Staying in carbis bay is a great base for getting around to other areas such as st Ives, down the hill is the train station which goes into st Ives and our ticket only cost 60p per person!! Will be returning in the future for sure!

Chy Kerris is by far the best house/cottage we have rented.

It’s very well furnished, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, it’s very clean and the owner is very welcoming and helpful. The location is ideal, close to Carbis Bay beach and the station where you can take a train into the centre of St Ives (better not to drive!). We visited several major attractions, all a relatively short drive from Chy Kerris, such as Lands End, Lost Gardens of Helligan, Minack Theatre, Pendennis Castle and of course St Ives.

A beautiful and really well located house.

A short walk to the lovely beach with excellent facilities (bar, snack bar and water sports hire) and the station for the train to St Ives. (Very cheap, quick and lovely views, with the added benefit of avoiding the nightmare of parking). The house itself was even better than expected - the outside space and seating areas are much better than in the photos - benches since replaced with chairs and there is also a rattan lounge set with cushions. Also a great covered space to dry washing and hang wetsuits etc. Kitchen very well stocked and welcome hamper was a lovely touch. We would be tempted to book again but would definitely recommend for both internal space, facilities and location.

Chy Kerris was more than a home from home as it has those essential extras to make holiday life easy!

Situated in a peaceful area of Carbis Bay, close to a beautiful sandy beach and to the train station meaning you are just a 3 minute train ride away from St Ives. We highly recommend this property.

This was an amazing property!

!! Beautiful throughout with top quality furnishings and accessories. Lovely locally resourced welcome hamper on arrival. Superb location for beach days and nearby the local railway station. I would highly recommend this property thank you!!!

A beautiful property, the house was very clean and well presented.

The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and really welcomed after a long 7 hour drive to the property. Ideally situated with close amenities, it was a perfect holiday!!

A superb holiday home with all the comforts you need and more and in a great area we as a family of 4 couldn't of asked for more

Beautiful house with so many extra touches and amenities to use such a nespresso machine, all cleaning and laundry products.

As stated by other guests- lovely welcome basket and flowers on arrival. Great location to access to train or coastal walk into St Ives.

Lovely holiday house for our family

Chy Kerris was a lovely place for us to stay whilst on holiday in Carbis bay.

The house was immaculate. The welcome pack was lovely, such a nice touch. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family and we will be coming back again. Thank you

A modern fully equipped house with lots of extra touches to make you feel really comfortable.

Perfect location for the beach and train to St Ives if you are able to climb a bit of a hill back up from the beach. Beautiful bay loved the sunsets.

Lovely house, we felt very comfortable during our stay.

Very well equipped, the owner thought of everything. The welcome gift was a lovely touch. In a lovely location (as long as you are able to walk up and down a steep hill) and there are lots of things to do around the area.

We had a really good stay in this holiday home .

There was a lovely welcome hamper and fresh flowers on the table to greet us. The house was beautifully clean and furnishings were modern and tasteful.There was everything there that we needed and we enjoyed going into St Ives on the train from Carbis Bay station and out and about in the car.

The house was immaculate and the gift hamper on arrival was a lovely touch.

. House was as advertised, will be recommending this property to all our family and friends.

the house was lovely really spacious and very clean a bit disappointed that the beach was not nearer and it was also down a steep hill which was difficult with my arthritis,, and parking was not good otherwise it was a great holiday

The house was exactly the same as described.

We had a very lovely time there , everything in that house was so clean and polished.

Chy Kerris is in a great location - it was lovely to be able to walk to the beach and also catch the train into St Ives.

The house had everything we needed and the welcome pack was a lovely surprise.
