Clearwater

Beautiful well equipped property less than a 10 minute walk (downhill

This is the 2nd time that we have stayed at clearwater, the property was around 7/10 on cleanliness, although i do always like to give everywhere a clean myself there was quite a lot of dust under the units in hall and lounge.

The flooring in the kitchen by the dishwasher and near the main bathroom door is wearing quite a bit, that would not stop me staying again. I think that the rugs, cushions and sofa could probably do with updating, the sofa isn’t very comfortable. Some of the cooking equipment had dried on food and cups had stains, no problem tho as I popped them through the dishwasher. Overall we had a fantastic week, we have booked a different apartment for next year, only because it’s much bigger and more modern with its decoration, perhaps a few changes with decoration, sofa and rugs would be in order to keep the property as up to date as other apartments on the building. Would I stay again, yes if no others were available.

Wow what a lovely place to stay with safe spacious easy parking right outside the front of the apartment.

It exceeded our expectations providing everything needed (even for the dog) for our stay. It was like home from home with ample crockery, cutlery etc and so clean a pleasure to cook and eat in. The bedding was great quality and ensured we had a good nights sleep. If I was to be at all critical I would have liked somewhere in the main bathroom to put my wash bag and toiletries. It’s an easy walk in and out of town and we will definitely return

Clearwater Appartment is the perfect location, just 5 mins into the town centre.

It was homely and had everything you need whilst there. It was clean and tidy, or so I thought, that was until the last day when I stripped the bed. It has always been my policy to take off the bed linen in any holiday home and leave it neatly folded for the cleaners, so imagine my surprise when I found a dirty disguisting mattress protector underneath. It was stained with either pee, blood or the unmentionable. It rather put a damper on my stay. Good job the bed had a clean bottom sheet that I layed on. Would still book there again, but check the bed.

Lovely apartment very clean beds were comfy only thing was the internet went off for a day but it did state that it could happened other than that would recommend

Absolutely loved our stay at Clearwater.

The place is spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing stay and enjoy this beautiful part of the country.

This is the third time we stayed in this apartment and it will likely be the last.

Whereas the apartment itself looks very pretty and clean the furniture in it is very very uncomfortable. Specially the double bed in the master bedroom. The mattress is very old and as a person who suffers and has medication for a lower spine problem it caused really bad pains to the point that I ended up sleeping on the floor in the room. The kids have complained that their mattress is very uncomfortable too. The settee in the living area is very old and very uncomfortable as well. I know you will probably think "You not meant to be in the apartment too long, you should be out in town" but what are you meant to do when the weather is bad? Or after a long day at the beach? You just want a shower and chill out but the furniture won't let you.

Lovely well equipped apartment with everything you need.

Well located for walking into centre of St Ives. Will look to book again!

Lovely spacious apartment, located just outside the town centre.

Well-equipped kitchen and well cleaned through-out. We very much enjoyed our week stay at the property.

Lovely property , comfortable , spacious .

, great parking , only slight issue is as it’s ground level people can see in so need blinds closed all the time . Good sized terrace and seating area - would deffo stay again .

I cannot praise Clearwater highly enough.

The apartment was superb, spotlessly clean and fantastically furnished and equipped. This was our second visit to Gallinas Point simply because we were so impressed on our first visit. Just go here you won't be disappointed.

Lovely apartment, quite spacious.

Very clean. Facilities were excellent, could do with a rack in the shower. The walk to the beach is quite steep, no problem if you’re fit!

We had a lovely stay with our little dog at the apartment.

The weather certainly helped. It is in a great location to just walk down to the harbour or get the car out and explore the area. Having a car parking space was a massive bonus.

Great apartment , welcoming and super clean with all you need for a relaxing stay , doggie friendly Comfy beds , hot showers , easy access to town and beaches .

Second time at Gallinas point.

Great location, lovely apartment, very pet friendly thanks for leaving the doggie blankets!! Rebooked already!

The location of the property was ideal, the property was kept in good condition and very clean.

Would definitely stay again.

We appreciated the great location and quiet surroundings of Clearwater.

Porthminster beach is only a short walk away as is the heart of St Ives town . This modern apartment was clean and comfortable, decorated thoughtfully with some quality art work. In St Ives particularly, the provision of a parking space, as provided in the complex, is very convenient.The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the only thing lacking was a washing machine.Overall, a very pleasant experience.

We have stayed at Clearwater a few times, its always clean & comfortable.

We did notice a little black mould around the bedroom window & on the wall near the floor, but its end of season, so no biggie. Everything is there for your comfort, thank you very much to the owners & to Carolyn & her team. Would highly recommend the apartment to anyone.

Excellent apartment very well equipped and secure parking straight out side was most helpful.

Potio area was very useful.

No.

4 Clearwater is a great apartment and we had a lovely stay. The only one thing I would say is that in the Bathrooms, particularly the ensuite, there was no where to put anything, no shelves over the sink and none in the shower to put shower gel etc. Aside from that, great stay and great location, closer to the beaches than we thought.

This is the second time of staying .

The apartment is clean and in an ideal location. Things are starting to look tired like the radiators in the room and bedroom need changing starting to go rusty. Broken can opener, temperamental oven would not always work shame these things let it down

We have stayed at Clearwater a few times now, lovely clean comfortable apartment.

The owners keep on top of the maintenance, Carolyn & her team keep it very clean. Once again had a lovely holiday in St Ives at Clearwater. Many thanks to the owners & to Carolyn.

Lovely stay at Clearwater which is in a great location and just as described .

Only points to note are that although we easily found the dos and don’ts book about the property which was helpful we could not find the book for clients comments that was mentioned or any collections of leaflets and advice about local amenities walks restaurants etc which would have been helpful. I would also advise that the en suite shower seems to have a small plumbing issue that’s needs attending with water leaking where the shower hose joins the valve . Also the toilet in there stuck on fill once so maybe that needs some attention too. But a lovely flat with good facilities and highly recommended

Overall we loved our stay.

The location was great, the flat was great, parking superb, super comfy beds and quality bedding. The layout and the flooring made it very easy to keep clean. However we thought it needs a bit of a refresh. Paintwork is a bit tired, radiators dusty and rusty in places. Coffee machine leaks. Freezer needs defrosting. One glass was cracked and others chipped, some crockery was scratched and chipped and everything was rammed into the cupboards. Towels were poor quality. We think the property needs to up its game to warrant the cost of the rental. Just a few simple updates and upgrades and we’d be regular users happy to pay to stay here frequently.

This is the first time we have visited St Ives at this time of year, and it won't be the last, enjoyed the town being much quieter, but far from a Ghost Town, fortunate enough to catch some of the Sea Shanties on the Friday evening.

Loved being back in this property, it is our favourite, but since Carbis Bay have become part of Sykes we have found their pricing policy based on the number of online views extremely frustrating. As when we have tried to make our summer bookings, we have viewed it at one price, then when we go to make a booking the price has shot up!! A set price as it used to be was much fairer way to treat loyal guests, we even had priority and a small discount for re-booking with Carbis Bay. The housekeeper as a point of contact was also a massive bonus, or being able to speak to Carbis Bay themselves, rather than a national helpline where you are in a queue , no one needs that on holiday.

Nicer than Waves we stayed in last year, a better layout, TV signal dropped in an out but apart from that very nice, a good parking space too, we live St Ives and Galinas point but unfortunately won’t be back next year (shame) as the cost of the property has increased significantly for the dates we like in October

Excellent clean accommodation.

Loved our stay. The only downsides for us were the room fig could do with a good clean. Toilet roll holders on the walls.Less things in the kitchen cupboards to give more spare space for food. These are just our preference and did not change our option looking to book for next year already

Absolutely a lovely stay so close to town lovely comfy bed we will be booking for next year definitely

Our second visit to Clearwater and it didn’t disappoint, we were pleased to see that it has been maintained well since our last visit 2 years ago so well done to the owners .

We stay in lots of similar quality rentals all over the country and this is in our top ten . Phil from Staffordshire

Property spacious and bright and nicely furnished.

Bedrooms a great size. Whole property very well equipped and maintained. Little extras very nice- milk, biscuits, tea, coffee etc. Only negative was floors dirty but we mopped them and it wasn't an issue. Terrace a bonus with sun most of the day. Would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable and well located apartment.

overall the property was as detailed and very well appointed and serviced and everything had been thought about with regards to self catering needs.

Appliances were all in good condition with the exception of the travel cot which was in poor repair and caused some issues with 1st of all putting up, keep the sides up and then taking down, no mattresses. overall we would bring our own next time. The only other comment would be that the vacuum is in need of a new head as well as we tried to tidy up after the dogs prior to leaving the head it self wasn't the best. overall a great property with great access to St Ives and would look to return.

Our apartment was absolutely fantastic.

Beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly wish for. The place was spotlessly clean throughout. I cannot fault anything, thank for making our holiday although short, most memorable.

We have booked with Carbis for a number of years, never disappointed.

This is our second visit to this apartment , third to the complex. We prefer this apartment due to the open plan area having more space and great facilities. We will be back it’s a great location, with parking, super clean, spacious and Extremely comfortable stay. Thank you for another great stay already looking at next trip. Note: Porthminster beach cafe restaurant 5 mins walk to the best beach and restaurant is a must during your stay. Walks Zennor is very hard walk but amazing landscape with stunning sea views. St Michaels way pilgrim walk fab coast to coast walk.

I felt so fortunate to be able to stay in this delightful apartment.

It was particularly helpful to be able to do a Monday to Monday booking as I am on a course in St Ives school of painting for the next few months and the teaching is always Friday Saturday and Sunday. I can't drive back to Manchester on a Sunday evening! The apartment is beautiful: gorgeous bedding and plenty of lovely soft white towels; good sized televisions, easy-to-use coffee machine etcetera etcetera. I am hoping to be able to book again when you have availability in December – when I will need a Monday to Monday booking again. Thank you so much. Mary

extremely well equipped, comfy beds, nice and clean.

great base to walk into St ives and the beaches. We are going to book to return in November. Thank you. x

We had a wonderful stay at Clearwater and would highly recommend.

It was spotlessly clean and the little 'welcome pack' such as tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc was a lovely surprise. Loved the high quality toiletries (White Company fan here!) and Lola our four legged friend was particularly impressed with her treats too. My only suggestion might be to explain in your listing that it is quite a steep walk into the town and beaches. It was not an issue for us at all as we are used to hill walking, our 16 year old pup struggled a bit towards the end of the week but as she is small we could carry her as needed. Less able guests or those with bigger, older dogs may find it difficult. However I must stress that this was no bother to us in any way and at least it worked off all the lovely food and wine we consumed!!! Mentioning the brand of coffee machine in the listing would also be useful as we would have taken some pods with us (Tassimo for those reading the reviews!) - there was only one type of pod available in local supermarkets. Thank you for such a lovely stay, we will be back!

A very well appointed apartment with fantastic facilities and comfort.

I would highly recommend

Very good experience.

Nice touches like milk, biscuits, mince pies etc. Lots of crockery and cutlery. Also small amount of groceries and cleaning products to get through the weekend.

We enjoyed a fabulous stay in this property.

The furniture and beds were really comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. Nice walk into town and close to Porthminster beach which we love. Would highly recommend and it is great having a good sized parking space right outside the apartment.

Clearwater is a very comfortable, clean apartment, well maintained by the owners, who very kindly left us some nice goodies in the fridge, so thank you for that.

Carolyn the housekeeper is excellent & very friendly, so thank you to her & her team. Unfortunately, regarding our booking experience with Sykes cottages, it was not so good, so will probably look for another company in future. Always used Carbis Bay Holidays in the past, but don’t really rate the service now from Sykes. Just my personal experience.

Clearwater is in an excellent location.

Close enough to walk into St Ives, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. The apartment facilities were very good. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you would need to prepare and cook a meal. It is clearly well-maintained and cleaned after each stay. I would definitely recommend it.

Loved this property which is within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants and has a parking space!

! Very comfortable and well equipped - perfect! We very much appreciated the welcome gifts as did Lola our schnoodle.

Loved the property and location.

Have booked already for next year.

Had a great time in a lovely apartment.

Brill location to everything but far enough away so we had a 10 minute walk in to town each day which we like. Only minor negative but no surprise was a Grass Garden would have been better for our Dogs.

Clearwater was lovely!

The location, facilities etc were great. We had a really pleasant week there. I took a point off for cleanliness. The windows had mould on them, there was litter under the sideboard and chair and there was opened items in the fridge. Really lovely property and I would book again as I understand that the cleaner can’t cover everything in a short space of time. The one thing for future bookings if you have dogs. Tregenna let off fireworks and whilst my dog doesn’t care about them they were very loud! I know Tregenna notify the residents of this. Maybe the owner or Sykes could notify staying guests. Please don’t let the mouldy windows deter others from booking. This was a really lovely place.

Clearwater was a beautiful spotlessly clean & comfortable apartment to stay.

We enjoyed our stay there very much, & are looking forward to going back in September. Thank you to the owners & to Carolyn the housekeeper & her team.

Cannot fault and absolutely spotlessly clean.

Will definitely stay again. Karen,Simon and Archie our dog.

We really enjoyed our time at Clearwater.

The location was great, so close to the beaches & shops having off road parking in st ives is a massive bonus too! The property itself was clean & comfortable. However, the heating was very temperamental, we never complained about it because it was overly cold and we just put an extra layer on. Also, the pillows are a little hard, but that’s personal preference! Overall we throughly enjoyed our stay!

Patio furniture and outside patio were not cleaned.

Table and chairs not been cleaned for along time. Lamp in bedroom did not work, and no extra bulbs to change. Glass storage shelves were not clean. Could have done with more hot water. Standard of cleaning is what is letting this apartment down on our occasion. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Clearwater.

Only issue was the central heating & hot water not working but Carbis Bay Holidays did their absolute best to sort it out. Would have been a 5 otherwise.

Sadly this lovely property’s heating was not on, on our arrival at 18.

00 in Dec! Also no lamp working in twin room. Tried putting heating on, but would not work. After phone many calls two different people arrived but was unable to fix it Saturday. Eventually a lovely guy came in Sunday evening and said he could only fix it for the evening only, as there was a problem with it. So throughout the week we had hot water, no heating, then when the heating was fixed, the next day we had no hot water.!!! In the family bathroom the bath was extremely slippery, as my wife is disabled, she could not get out of the bath. No rubber mat or hand rail to get out. She had to stay there until I came back. Which was frightening for her. It’s a fabulous property, wonderful location and was perfect on the ground floor as my wife has difficulty walking. It’s a shame these issues was not dealt with BEFORE our arrival, then it would of been a 5 star stay as expected and as your website promises.

Having been a regular customer of Carbis bay Holidays for the last 10 years coming 2-3 times per year, we are extremely disappointed with the 50% plus price increases, other competitors of yours seem only be increasing prices inflationary.

This is obviously going to impact our future holidays in st Ives which is a shame as we have been very happy to use Carbis bay holidays for our breaks in st Ives.

Cleanliness not up to standard as detailed in separate correspondence.

Several items/areas not cleaned and very dusty. Several lamps not working. Shower mouldy and in need of regrouting. Window frames mouldy and dirty. Mould on wall in master bedroom.

Had a wonderful holiday & location of the property was perfect

Lovely accommodation, really close to st ives centre.

Great to have a parking space too.

Clearwater apartment was ideally located for us with a small dog , with one of the best beaches in the country 5 minutes down the hill , the car parking space is essential in st ives .

The apartment was very clean and well equipped and we made best use of the outside enclosed patio in the brilliant weather. Only Niggles are the Main bed needs a new mattress and the current regime that you have to be out by 9:00 am and can’t arrive until 17:00 and as parking in st ives is virtually impossible there is no point in arriving early. Overall an enjoyable holiday and I would recommend.

"We had a lovely stay at Clearwater thank you. Perfect location, lovely and clean and the complimentary cream tea , shopping bag etc were really appreciated. Will hopefully be staying again next year. " Ava Gunning.

"We had a great week in St Ives. Clearwater is in a fab location and is a comfortable, stylish apartment. We enjoyed coffee and cakes and great service at Pels which is especially good for me as they do a good range of gluten free products, even crepes, Blas is great for a burger and we had a very sociable night in there, for steak I don't think you can beat the Fire House, and for a drink and a view The Hub. For something a bit different The Bean Inn at Carbis bay had a good choice of dishes." C. Rawlings

"We had a great holiday at Gallinas Point, the property was clean , well equipped and very welcoming, close to st Ives and the beach at Porthminster is just perfect for our two preschool aged children. Had to visit Carbis Bay quite a few times tho as we just love it there & it's there that our whole love affair with this area of Cornwall began! The outdoor area at Clearwater was also a real plus point for us with two rather adventurous toddlers as it was SAFE and enclosed." H. Bond

"We had a fantastic holiday in St Ives and could not have wished for better accommodation. The apartment was immaculate and had everything in it that we could have needed. Thanks for a wonderful holiday." D. Logan

"We had another fantastic week in St Ives and the apartment was beautiful, the location and cleanlines of the apartment was great." E. Torr

"We had a great stay in Clearwater at St. Ives on our recent holiday, it is a stunning area. The accommodation and its location were excellent. We enjoyed the coastal path walk from St. Ives to Carbis bay and had enjoyable meals in Blas, Rhubarb and The Mermaid as well as a fantastic fish suppers from Becks in Carbis Bay. A visit to St. Agnes is worth a trip as the beach area and walks are stunning." T. Coyle

"We had a very enjoyable holiday at Clearwater. The apartment was clean and tidy well equipped and in a good location, handy to walk into St Ives. One of our favourite trips was to nearby Godrevy Lighthouse, parking at the National Trust car park and walking by the crashing sea. I'm sure we will re visit the apartment sometime and we will recommend to our friends." B. & R. Pope

"We stayed at Clearwater, the apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of how well equipped the apartment was. It was in a great location, close to Porthminster Beach and a short, yet pleasant walk into town, it was spotlessly clean and very well equipped ensuring that we had an easy, enjoyable stay." J. & L. Bullock

"We had a great time the welcome pack and flowers were a pleasant surprise especially as we had forgotten to take tea and milk. The apartment was very clean and had all mod cons and more. We would recommend the walk around the Penrose Estate lake and Looe bar with a drink at the Ship Inn Porthleven." C Spearing

"Myself and my partner enjoyed our holiday very much. We found the apartment very clean with all the 'mod cons'. It was in a great location, 5 minutes walk to the beach and 5 minutes walk into town." A. Barnes

"The accommodation was in a perfect location and the apartment was very nice. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the stay very much. The good weather was a big bonus and made our first holiday in Cornwall a memorable one." H. Patel

"Would like to congratulate you on the high standard of the accommodation provided. We were very impressed with the apartment and will definitely book again. We have recommended to a number of friends." P. Allen

"Thankyou for your recent email. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 'Clearwater,' the apartment was absolutely beautiful with every need more than adequately catered for! We also enjoyed the short walk down the hill to the centre of St Ives." Ann Shields

Accommodation was lovely

"Just stayed in an apartment in St Ives Cornwall. It was beautiful and very clean, modern. Close to the beach, and town centre. Really enjoyed our holiday, would recommend staying in this accommodation, and would definitely book it again. Thank you."<br/>Loraine Hartley

Lovely apartment - clean and fully equipped, comfy beds and all you need for a home from home break, the milk and chocolate treats were very welcome.

Thank you. Very doggy friendly with bowls and blankets, excellent! We would hope to return and would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Thank you, M
