    Everything you need in the apartment. Building works next door put a bit of a damper on it though.

    The only thing we could fault was the mattress. Personally we thing the mattress could do with upgrading to match the high quality of the rest of the apartment. Would we stay here again?? YES

  • "Pelagos is an amazing apartment!"

    The moment you enter and the magnificent view of Carbis bay beach hits you from the lounge picture window you just know you’ll enjoy your stay! Pelagos is a very luxurious apartment, subtly and stylishly decorated in very neutral colours. There is every appliance you need to have a stress free holiday! We stayed for Christmas week and the heating which is controlled independently for each room was simple to use and made it very cosy and snug! The hosts were very hospitable and provided us with tea, coffee, milk, condiments and a lovely Cornish fruit juice! A lovely touch as it was Christmas week was that there were some simple and stylish decorations in place when we arrived. But!! the icing on the cake was that view!! Looking out of that lovely picture window onto Carbis bay and beyond to St. Ives is wonderful.

    Hi Adrian We're really pleased that you enjoyed your Christmas stay at Pelagos so much. Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We work very hard to make Pelagos somewhere we love staying and we're pleased that you liked it too. Credit also to Julie our brilliant cleaner, who keeps Pelagos spotless. Kind regards The owners Property Owner

  • "Our second visit to Pelagos and again the apartment was really lovely."

    Those views are just stunning. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and we have never been in an apartment so well equipped. We were warned before hand about the building work being done next door so was prepared to stay out of the apartment most of the day. Sadly for us it was the noise that came from within the building that spoilt it for us. Very heavy foot steps and loud noises very late at night and early in the morning. Also very clear loud talking and banging of doors/drawers late at night and early mornings. We are tolerant people and would accept these sounds during reasonable hours but the other occupants didn't seem to have much consideration. So for us this was not the best week. We went home feeling really tired through lack of sleep. Saying all this I don.t want to take away how really nice Pelagos as aparment is.

    Thank you for you lovely feedback, we are so pleased to hear that you loved the views and apartment. We are saddened to hear that there was noise made by other residence the week that you were staying, as you understand this is out of our control but we are sorry you were disappointed. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "The apartment was beautiful, very well equipped with everything you need."

    The most amazing views and fabulous walks on the coastal paths very close to the property. Wonderful places to eat in the Carbis Bay Estate and a couple of other eateries which were good too. Only problem we had which is really out of owners control is the tight parking especially with apartment no 4 who owned and lived in his apartment. We never used the car after initially parking under his strict instruction so he could get in and out without damaging either vehicle, we didn’t want to get into any disagreements. Unfortunately this would stop us using this beautiful apartment again

    Thank you very much for your feedback, we are so sorry to hear that the space was tight for your car we have not had a report of the space being difficult to park in recently. I believe the neighbour has recently changed their car. We will speak with the neighbour to ensure that the space is still accessible to all visitors.

    Very clean and standard of furnishing and fixtures and fittings second to none. Only gripes are the noise from the apartment above, you can hear every footstep and the parking. If all four apartments are occupied good luck parking if you value your car. With cars parked in 1,2 and 4 I was unable to park so had to leave it on the road. I think the description should say parking space for a 'small car' then perhaps parking would be possible.

    Wonderful and carefully maintained subtropical garden. Extremely well equipped flat - all fittings to a very high standard. Very nicely styled, in line with modernism - a lot of thinking went into this. Two small issues: water was either hot or cold, mixing in kitchen and bath tub seemed not to work well; noise insulation in building is a bit of an issue - you can hear steps someone makes on the top floor. But overall superb holiday flat, which we fully enjoyed!

  • "Fantastically positioned apartment."

    Stunning views, and all the essential facilities. The listing details could do with updating .. Electric heating not Gas , No DVD collection. Apartment was exceptionally clean which is comforting at this time. Only gripe is we didn’t have electricity till following morning & we arrived as it was getting dark. I’m sure there’s a means by which we could have been notified as been off since early hours of previous morning. It would have been good to have been prepared as we had to go out to get candles food etc. Just one very low powered torch in property. Aside from that all good.

    Dear Mr Smart, Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking the time to review your stay in Pelagos in late November. Please be assured we will look at the listing and update accordingly; we are apologies for any inconvenience caused. Regarding the electricity; due to Storm Arwen, this caused many properties to have an outage, unfortunately making this out of our control. Although the adverse weather brought some wonderful 'storm watching' opportunities, it can impact us in a more inconvenient way, as much of the country found. Once again, we are sorry that this caused issues for your arrival. Our check in and check out times are reviewed regularly and we listen to all parties involved; guests and housekeepers, so please be assured that we will take your points on board. We hope to be able to invite you back in the near future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner

    Which has to do with the house keeper Julie Hadfield especially with COVID ever thing first class. The views are out of this world we have stopped in Carbis bay for many years and are one of the best views. We have booked with carbis bay holidays many times and it has know been taken over by Sykes holidays have to say i am concerned that standards will not be the same. If I may I would like to make 2 suggestion's a hand rail up the main stairs as you turn to the flat ,when you are carrying things up and down you have to hold onto the wall. The other is a full sized ironing board when you are staying for 2 weeks you need to iron things the little one that goes on the table is not sufficient.

  • "The apartment is beautiful, well decorated, very clean and with all mod cons, but the Piece de Resistance is the absolutely amazing view from the lounge windows looking over Carbis Bay and as far as St Ives Bay."

    We had 2 minor negatives: 1, The pressure on the hot water was extremely inadequate and there was never enough hot water to fill a bath which was strange considering the size of the tank - showering was fine as this was electric. 2, There are 4 car parking spaces (1 for each apartment) but these are extremely tight, if we had fully pulled into our space then we would not have been able to get in or out of the car. There is available parking on the roadside but this was always full with day trippers and users from other hotels. Regardless of these 2 negative remarks we would return to Pelagos Apartment 3.

    Dear Carol, We would like to thank you for taking the opportunity to submit feedback. Lovely to hear that you found the apartment had all you needed and I agree the view is definitely amazing. Firstly, we have passed to our property management that you had issues with the hot water and please be assured we will look into this.

    The apartment has such fantastic views I dont think you will find better! , it was clean and of a very good standard. It was great getting the local train from Carbis Bay to St Ives and we ate out most nights. I would recommend the Porthmeor beach cafe (opposite the Tate), lovely food and the views were stunning. We took a drive to Godrevy lighthouse, then walked around the area. It has stunning scenery and we were lucky enough to see the seals on one of the inaccessible beaches. We also went to the Geevor tin mine which we both felt was really interesting. On one hand you get to see the history of mining, but also you experience the underground tour led by an ex miner and can discover how events affected real people. On our last day we drove to Falmouth, and you can easily spend a day here pottering about , watching the boats, but we visited Pendennis Castle as well. We had the 45 minute tour which was an interesting insight into the history of the castle." L. Holding

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.
