  • "Although I gave a 5, the bathroom door needs attention and a better kettle would be appreciated."

    I burnt my arm on escaping steam due to poor design. The shower was very good indeed as was the garden and patio. The owner, Karen, is an asset to the property as she is so approachable and friendly. Nothing seems to be a problem for her. Overall, it is a fabulous apartment and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • "The property is ideally located for train and bus services and we found it perfect for our needs."

    It was bright, welcoming, impeccably clean and really well equipped. The freezer was especially welcome as were the fresh milk and goodies bag. We met the owner and she was very helpful and approachable. We plan to return and have no qualms about recommending it to others.

  • "Lovely property - very clean & brilliant position for train station to get to St Ives or St Erth."

    Great outdoor space with plenty of room. Property well equipped for holiday & extremely comfortable bed. Welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the property description of frosted glass in the bedroom window that looks onto owners garden. This was clear glass which did not give as much privacy. However, we enjoyed our stay immensely & have already booked to return.

    Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! We apologise that there was no frosted glass as thought, this has now been amended so it is not advertised. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

The property

Sea Holly is an inviting, single-storey annexe that is conveniently located in the seaside community of Carbis Bay, Cornwall.

With an enclosed private garden, an open-concept living area, and an allocated parking place, Sea Holly is a fantastic base for a romantic getaway for two or as a base to hit the coastline to catch some waves down at Hawkes Point or Porthmeor to name two popular surf spots; it is also located near a hub of amenities, activities, and the shoreline, making it an ideal abode for touring the region.

Park up in the designated parking space, before reaching the front garden, which provides the ideal location to unwind and take in your Cornish surroundings.

Venture inside to enter the living area, which has a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area for two, a plush sofa, and a Smart TV with Sky Q set on the wall for entertainment; use this space to prepare meals, dine, and spend quality time with your loved one.

If it's a nice day, make sure to set the patio table and start the barbecue to dine alfresco, before finishing your evening routine in the shower room.

Climb into the sumptuous king-size bed, surrounded by plenty of storage and homely furnishings, before waking up to explore Carbis Bay and its attractions.

If you want to explore the county, the local railway station is close by, whilst Carbis Bay Beach and Hayle Beach are right outside your door, where you can easily reach the coastal trail as well.

Before arriving in St. Ives, where you may stroll along Porthgwidden Beach, explore the Tate St. Ives, or learn about Penwith Gallery, stock up on the necessities at a nearby convenience shop or eat along the shore.

Travelling south, make sure to stop at Penzance Harbour, which is a busy place where you can people watch before dining at The Boatshed, featuring wonderful local products.

Newlyn Tolcarne Beach and the nearby Newlyn Art Gallery are well worth a visit.

Reach Godrevy Point or take a stroll through Tehidy Country Park to take in the Cornish countryside before arriving at Basset's Cove's stunning and quiet setting.

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.
