    Very well equipped and to a very high standard. The weather wasn’t very kind to us but it was still amazing to weather watch from the warm comforts of the apartment. Very easy to visit the surrounding towns on foot or by train or bus.

  • "Patio not suitable for people to use, at the moment."

    This apartment is conveniently located, its furniture, Sky TV, kitchen equipment and bedrooms make for an excellent stay. Nice gifts of chocolates, biscuits and champagne. However, once again the patio area was totally unusable due to it being extremely dirty and slippery when wet. It needs to be immediately cleaned, and kept clean, for the use of visitors!!!! We have stayed at this particular apartment many times, but I am afraid we will now be looking for another place to stay, in Carbis Bay. Such a shame!!!

    Thank you for your review. The patio is jetwashed several times a year and weed killed. However if the weather is particularly wet this may make the slabs slippery. As a regular visitor to 1& Only you must be aware that we always take on board your comments and have acted on them. We are sorry you wont return as we take great pride in our apartment and we visit regularly to check all is ok. We trust you find another apartment with a similar ethos to us. The owners.

  • "Once again we have enjoyed another stay at this comfortable property."

    The provision of both milk and champagne is a nice touch. It is well furnished and always extremely clean and well prepared inside. However, the outside patio is very dirty and extremely slippy when wet. As a disabled person I have to use walking sticks and I was unable to access the patio during our stay. Given that this is one of the selling points things need to be improved.

  • "A lovely flat in a lovely location and very comfortable."

    Just a few very minor maintenance issues. The main issue was that one of the sinks in the ensuite didn’t drain properly. Not a big issue as we could both share the other sink. Other small issues included the kitchen bin which was very temperamental and there were no 3D glasses for the TV as per the listing. These issues were reported to Carbis Bay Holidays following the instructions in the flat but there was no response. Would definitely go back.

    Thank you for your kind review of 1&Only. There has not been any 3D content broadcast on Sky for many years (2015) so the 3D glasses were removed. The quick start guide has removed all mention of 3D. I’m sure Carbis Bay Holidays will respond to the sink issues. The TV is not a 3D tv and was put in this year (july 2023) so the 3D glasses are no use to any one. Once again we hope to welcome you back and thank you for your lovely review.

  • "The accommodation was excellent."

    Clean, modern and well equipped. We had an issue with a light in one of the bedrooms, contacted Carbis Bay people and had two visits within an hour and issue resolved. If we had any issue it was having to strip the beds and vacate premises by 10 am. Except for this no complaints. Excellent and we will be returning.

    Thank you for leaving your feedback, its much appreciated. We are pleased to hear you thought the accommodation was excellent. We are happy we were able to resolve the light issue for you. With regards to the 10am check out this is to ensure the housekeeping team will have enough time to turn the property around for the next guests, we can also confirm you are not required to strip the beds when departing the housekeeping team will do this for you. We hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    The only complaint is that the light outside the second bedroom window kept coming on and going off during the night, which disturbed the sleep of the person using that room.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback and comments following your stay at 1 and Only. We are thrilled to hear you had a very enjoyable stay. With regards to the light we are sorry to hear that this has disturbed you in the night. Unfortunately this is controlled by a sensor which can not be turned off. The owner has therefore installed black out blinds for the bedroom window to keep any disturbance through the sensor light as minimal as possible. Please note that we are also always available to help deal with any issues during your stay on 01736 630012 option 2 and are able to provide further black out blinds.

    Indeed, we have already booked a further 3 holidays for 2023. Sykes are constantly badgering us to provide a complimentary review of our holidays in 2022. I would be grateful if both Sykes Holidays and the Owners would acknowledge our past reviews, on their website, rather than ignoring them completely. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST ANY FURTHER REVIEWS IF YOU AND THE OWNERS ARE QUITE SIMPLY GOING TO IGNORE THEM. AS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE MAKE SURE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE ALL REVIEWS PLEASE.

    Thank you for your feedback, we believe that because you have stayed at the property four times in 2022 and each time you stay you will have a feedback request this may be the reason why you feel you have had so many requests. To confirm, after your first comment in February 2022 regarding the fridge, shower draining slowly, the kettle clicking off and the lightbulbs being out - the owners replaced the fridge and kettle, the housekeepers has replaced the bulbs and also the shower drainage has been checked. If there are any issues during your stay, please do always feel free to contact our office and a member of staff will do all the best to resolve these for you.

  • "Good points."

    This apartment is very well appointed, practically furnished and is an excellent location for a memorable holiday. We have stayed in the apartment for several years and it is always prepared to the highest standards by the Housekeeper. At the end of each week they completed a perfect bed linen change, and she is always more than willing to provide good information about local restaurants, supermarkets and places to visit. We will return in both June and September 2022. Points of Concern. Once again the fridge was always wet inside and required to be mopped out, twice every day. The temperature in the fridge is not as cold as it could be. The sink in the shower room only slowly drains and it needs some attention. The kettle clicks off sometimes before it boils and there are quite a few bulb outages. I suggest that since the rental costs are high that either the Owners, or Sykes Holidays Maintenance Team, look at these issues immediately to provide better value.

    Many thanks for your kind feedback. As owners we take great pride in our apartment but have to rely on others inbetween our own frequent maintenance checks. We have noted all your comments. Property Owner

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.
