• "We had a lovely time, the weather was brilliant and the area is superb."

  The apartment was beautiful, but, as with previous feedbacks, the balcony let it down. Such a stunning view but the cleanliness and upkeep of the balcony detracted from the rest of the property. Needs a coat of paint or at least wash all the green and grime off the walls and floor. Fag butts not swept up either. FYI The double socket to the left of the sink doesn't work. All the others were fine. Could do with a small sieve or colander. The freezer door, as reported a few times before, is broken and awkward to use. Also perhaps state the parking height restriction on the main advert rather than advise two days before arrival. Luckily we could lower our suspension but if we had brought our other vehicle we would have been in trouble. We had an issue with the washing machine, couldn't find the main manual for it. It was blocked with a key and coin which had been there quite a while but luckily we managed to clear it and left a note for the cleaners that the wet towels were in the bath from mopping up the near flood. Having said all this, we had a fabulous time and would definitely stay there again and recommend to others. Thank you.

• "Lovely apartment with great views."

  Was however disappointed with the balcony area, it could do with a deep clean to get rid of the moss etc. The shower was a bit faulty (switch to turn on water flow worked when it wanted to !). Freezer compartment door kept falling off and no batteries in remote for bedroom tv (had to buy some ourselves). Overall a lovely place.

• "Beautiful, comfortable, spacious apartment."

  The view is outstanding, we spent many happy hours on the balcony relaxing and watching the seals in the bay. Plenty of information regarding the apartment. Would be more than happy to recommend and we would be more than happy to stay again ourselves.

  We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Harbour View. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Kind Regards, The Property Owners Property Owner

• "Very rude cleaners when we arrived , they had been in there ages chatting , not actually sure what they was doing but the attitude towards us was awful ."

  We asked if we could go in early after speaking to the owner as it was our honeymoon, I also asked for something nice to greet us as newly weds .. nothing greeted us . The apartment was lovely , skirting boards and mirrors were dirty and the balcony had not been cleaned , we did it ourselves, . The welcome pack was nice and the views are absolutely amazing , apartment was massive and comfortable

  Thanks for staying in Harbour View for your honeymoon -we left you a bottle of Cava in addition to the welcome pack. When you contacted us we did say you could use the parking space before the 4pm check-in and that you were welcome to pop in on the off chance it might be ready. We are sorry to hear areas weren't clean and we will follow this up with our housekeeper. We are glad you enjoyed the views and found the apartment comfortable and spacious and hope to welcome you back sometime soon. Property Owner

• "With its stunning view of the bay from the balcony, this tastefully furnished and well equipped apartment is delightful."

  The additional features of the washer/dryer, dishwasher and coffee machine bestow a touch of luxury accommodation. Undercover allocated and safe parking takes away the stress of using on street parking. Check in is quick and efficient with the lock box system and the welcome basket awaiting you on arrival is a lovely touch. The golden sands are only 10 minutes away although it is quite a steep hill and would be hard for the less mobile. To avoid the inevitable difficulties of parking and traffic queues in the area, the nearby train station is a huge bonus enabling easy access to St Ives and indeed most of Cornwall using the train network. There are a few small niggles, the balcony lets the apartment down with its grimy appearance, such a shame, the freezer compartment door in the fridge falls off as the hinges are broken and the shower is more a trickle than a flow. However, all aside, I would still return without hesitation.

  Thank you for taking your time to leave your feedback it is much appreciated, we are pleased to hear you would return without hesitation. Thank you for bringing the points raised to our attention we will be sure to these rectified as soon as possible. We hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

• "Ocean View was all we expected and more, would stay there again if we visit Carbis Bay."

  Lovely furnished and decorated and exceptionally large for a one bed. Views were out of this world, could sit there all day watching the world go by! Car parking great and train to St Ives was excellent, as we had family staying there. Nice to see St Ives, but nice to get back to Carbis Bay. Easy access to beach, steep climb back, but worth it. Just a few minor things - need new toilet holder in bathroom, patio at front could do with a bit of tlc and rug in lounge could do with a clean. Incidental items but worth a mention. Apartment stocked with essentials to start your holiday - we took a top up with us - some of which was needed, but some not. Hope to come back.

  Thank you staying in Harbour view and leaving a positive review. We have a new rug for the lounge arriving this week which will be swapped over on Saturday. The toilet roll holder should have been changed last month, I will find out what has happened. Thanks again for your booking, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

  Overall the property was fine, however there was a very distinct smell in the bathroom that was probably drains, this was the reason for marking down on cleanliness and facilities and maintenance

• "Good apartment, nice view."

  Heating not working on arrival, had to call someone out and even they could not make it work properly they provided extra portable heaters. The TV only worked sometimes there is obviously an aerial connection problem. DVD player is never going to work as there are no input and output leads. The balcony was filthy a complete eyesore. The rear sun patio could not be used as the floor had been covered with artificial grass and was permanently wet. The kitchen lacked a few basic implements such as a draining board rack, kitchen tongs, collinder, lid for the casserole dish. None of the windows opened to vent so no ventilation while sleeping. No smoke alarm or fire extinguisher. We have stayed in several holiday lets with sykes and they have all been good except this one. Not value for money.

• "Lovely apartment with great views."

  We had everything we needed for a great stay. The only problem we had was getting the apartment warm. Although the radiators were piping hot the temperature only reached 16.5 degrees for the first few days. This was probably partially due to adjacent flats being empty, but we felt the panel radiators were inadequate for the size of the room. Despite this we had a lovely stay and would love to return.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We appreciate it! We are pleased to hear you have had a lovely stay and would like to return despite experiencing difficulties with the heating at the beginning of your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and want to assure you that we have informed the right departments to enquire and resolve this going forward.

• "Lovely apartment BUT there really should be a change of bedding available."

  PLUS towels. The balcony let's the apartment down big time. It would be lovely to be able to sit out in a sheltered area even when the rain is coming down with the wonderful view. A slim shoe box as you step in would be handy. Nice stay. But not exceptional and we stay in Carbis Bay every year.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear that you had a nice stay. Unfortunately, a change of bedding and towels are only offered on stays 14 nights and over. Thank you for your constructive points regarding a sheltered balcony area and a shoe box, we have passed this onto the relevant department to look into.

• "Generally a great property."

  Let down by the condition of both balconies, outdoor furniture could be updated. Lovely layout inside and contemporary look. The view is outstanding. Maybe a good check in future before change over of the oven cleanliness inside, as the tray inside still had a lot of cooking oil in it. But overall great stay.

  Thank you very much for your constructive feedback, we will check the condition of the balconies and also the oven to ensure this does not let the property down.

  The apartment is more spacious than it appears in the listing photos and is well furnished. We were so lucky with the weather with glorious sunshine throughout the week. The view from the balcony is truly stunning, sunrise over the lighthouse and sunsets over St Ives Bay. The only improvements we would suggest would be better quality balcony chairs and sliding doors to the balcony.

  The fridge door doesn't close properly, the grids on the extraction hood are missing, it is also coming away from the wall. There was no hot water, constantly having to use boost button. The laminate flooring moves, gaps in it everywhere. Dust in bedroom on the mirror and glass tops. On a plus could be a beautiful apartment, good position, comfortable bed, sofas comfy. We did contact carbis holidays about microwave and cob webs with photos, also spoke to skyes about the hot water, all the other issues should be picked up on inspection, I'm on holiday at the end of the day.

  Thank you very much for your feedback, we are very sorry that you encountered these issues during your stay. The owner and the housekeeper have arranged for the property to be deep cleaned. The hot water is on a timer between certain times and the boost button is then used for between these hours if you need a shower, we are sorry if this caused you any inconvenience. The laminate flooring has been highlighted to the owner to address when the season dips and there is more time other than on a change over to look at sorting this in a more permanent way. Thank you for taking the time to let us know of these issues and we look forward to welcoming you back to the area. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "Where to start."

  The Apartment was spotless when we arrived and the welcome package much appreciated as we arrived late in the evening. The views of Carbis Bay and St. Ive’s were truly stunning and we felt comfortable and secure throughout the stay. We were there for our Honeymoon and it felt like we were in a different country. The only negative was the Hot Water and we couldn’t quite work out how to make it hotter. Something I’m sure was in with the instructions but we lived with it anyway. We will definitely book this property again and recommend anyone looking for a romantic, peaceful break do the same.

  Thank you so much for your wonderful, positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a lovely stay and picked Harbour View for your honeymoon! We are sorry to hear that you had some trouble with the hot water, should you have any queries during any stay please don’t hesitate to contact the local office and we will be able to advise.

  The apartment is spacious with an excellent modern decor. It was immaculately presented for our arrival and everything functioned really well throughout our stay. The location worked perfectly for us - we could walk down to the beach in just a few minutes and access to the coast path in both directions was also easy and quick. And the view is to die for. The beach immediately below you and a perfect outlook right over and into St Ives harbour. We never tired of it. Covered parking was good too - no seagull poo to clean off the car!
