Stargazy

Another lovely stay at Stargazy.

A beautiful apartment, ideally situated in a quiet area in St Ives.

Wonderful views, absolutely spotless, well equipped with everything we needed and more. Car parking undercover and just over the road. Railway station 3 mins walk away. St Ives has lovely beaches, restaurants and lots to do.

The apartment is very nice and has a fantastic view of the beach and surrounding area.

it has lovely facilities and most things one would need for a nice relaxing break. The instructions regarding the glass table were a bit off-putting, "its a peice of art" also the instructions on the use of or potentially damaging the fancy mugs "if you break one please go to the shop and get a replacement". My thoughts are that if things in your holiday home are precious then they should be removed as its not creating a relaxing environment when one leaves instructions/comments that feel oppresive. This is also my view on OS maps that would be useful "please don't remove from the apartment" . that said i dont own a holiday home and maybe people remove things and thats the reason for writing on everything. This would not stop me considering staying here again.

Second stay with a 3rd already booked - nuff said

Stargazy is a lovely spacious apartment in a great location with fantastic views.

We have stayed for a week every year for the past 5 years, the property is well maintained. Always clean and tidy, a home away from home but in St Ives! Would not hesitate to recommend.

A beautiful, well maintained apartment in a fabulous location.

We had a wonderful week in Stargazy and would highly recommend. Walking distance from beautiful beaches and town. Thank you

Such an incredible apartment with jaw-dropping views.

Exceptionally clean and packed with thoughtful details from washing machine instructions to the postcard notes. Loved the stargazy theme and reclaimed artwork - it makes this place feel so much more.than just a holiday home. It’s warm and inviting and we’re really hoping to stay again. Thank you!

excellent stay - so good we've already rebooked for 2025

This is a beautiful apartment with everything you could possibly need.

The location (and view) is amazing, close to a beautiful beach but just far enough from the centre that it’s peaceful, but only a short stroll to restaurants if you wish. We would love to visit again.

No issues with the apartment, made for a very easy holiday base.

Near the beach with fantastic views. Easy to access St Ives but nice to be slightly away from the busy town area. It is expensive but it is of a high standard.

Window and patio door vents make rooms very cold (letting cold in badly)especially bedrooms.

Otherwise brilliant,thanks

Excellent well appointed accommodation with fantastic views of the surrounding area.

The apartment has maintained its appeal and high standards since our previous visits which is a feel good factor when planing our next trip to StIves.

Absolutely lovely place to stay , i would like to re-wind our visit there and do it all over again.

Relaxing , comfortable , has everything you need and more. Great views that make you smile with your heart .

We had the most fantastic week at Stargazy.

The property was immaculately clean when we arrived and we were completely wowed by the place as it was even more fabulous than the photos. There was beautiful artwork throughout, and it was tastefully furnished with lots of attention to detail. The view from the balcony was spectacular and I missed the view when I woke up in my own bed this morning!! Thank you to the owners for letting use their beautiful home.

Stargazy was perfect!

Spectacular views, great location for beach and town, and use of the gym/pool were all fantastic. It is such a beautifully furnished and equipped apartment, everything we needed was there. A real home from home. Thank you, we can’t wait to stay again.

Fabulous property, brilliant location, views to die for.

Everything was perfect, all the instructions very clear and the listings are accurate.

Excellent directions and clear key instructions.

Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean, really well furnished and stocked with amazing views.

Well furnished and equipped.

Beautifully maintained. Just wonderful. Some drawers in bedroom would be nice but that is a very minor detail in an otherwise perfect property.

Very pleased with our stay in this beautiful, spacious and very well equipped apartment conveniently located for the lovely beach and the town of St.

Ives. Parking arrangements worked out very well. Outstanding views from all of the rooms. It was quite expensive as apartments go but worth it in our opinion and we would certainly recommend it.

Stargazy is a lovely property in a great location with fantastic sea views.

This was our third visit and we have already booked for another week next year.

The only issue we had was that we arrived 20mins early, we are aware of the 4pm thing but when you have to travel 8 hours to get to st Ives and by this time there is no parking available in town it’s a little frustrating.

I would suggest that the entrance time remains 4 pm but it should be ready an hour before that. Other than that a lovely apartment, excellent.

Really enjoyed our second stay in Stargazy.

Whilst the lounge is comfortable with a fabulous view, the furniture could do with updating. You will be aware that the padlock on the car park bollard was broken on arrival and had to be cut off by a member of your staff. No replacement padlock was provided.

We have been coming to this property out of season on and off since 2013.

A fantastic apartment.

Great location and views with parking.

Very spacious, bathrooms were great but not sure why there is no thermostat on the towel rails as the bathroom was way too hot if left on.(thinking of your electric bill !) Floor was not particularly clean and the cheese grater still had cheese in it! Leather sofas tired and not particularly comfortable as you tend to slide off them. Overall though highly recommended

We have stayed at Stargazy on a previous holiday and it suited our family perfectly.

We were a little disappointed that we were not welcome at the Porthminster Hotel (residents only) but hope that their staffing issues will be resolved.

“Stargazy is one of the nicest apartments we have stayed in and having visited St Ives for over 25 years, we have plenty of experience of holiday lets Star Gazy has fabulous views and is extremely well equipped and was spotless. We just could not get over the provision for children, especially travel cots, highchair and baby alarm - we didn't bring our little granddaughter this time but we certainly shall in the future. The housekeeper met us at the apartment at the agreed time and showed us where everything was and explained the discounts at the Tate and the Spa Discounts etc., again, another great extra. The cream tea, apple juice and chocolate were a lovely touch and after our long journey, very welcome. The parking was excellent, accessible at all times, a great bonus in St Ives.” K.Hallworth

“We have been coming to St Ives for many years now and always love the place but hadn't quite found the perfect home from home until last week. Everything was perfect, clean, welcoming and to a standard we like.“ R.Galvin

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Stargazy apartment in the Peninsula, it was great to have access to the pool and gym at the Harbor Hotel and lovely to wake up every morning with a great view of the sea and Porthminster Beach. Everythingy was a very high standard and well stocked with everything you could need for a week away. We also liked the nice touch of the welcome pack with cream tea and Healey’s apple juice. We would highly recommend Alfresco restaurant in St Ives and also Seagrass and Alba, we also enjoyed a lovely Cream Tea at the Beachcomber Café by the Harbour and a good breakfast at the Yellow Canary Café on the main shopping street. We took the train to Lelant Halt one day and walked the coastal path back which was very picturesque and we also enjoyed the coastal walk around Cadgwith not far from Lizard. For days out we liked St Michael’s Mount which is great for photos and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary. We would also recommend the pitch and put course in Hayle when the weather is nice." H. Curley

"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Carbis Bay Holidays and the owner of the 'Stargazy' apartment at the Peninsula. The whole experience has been exceptional. The quality of your website, properties on offer and dealing with yourselves on the phone, or via email, has been very reassuring. 'Star Gazy' completely exceeded our expectations. The facilities on offer and the attention to detail were fantastic, as was the location and the view. The complementary use of the spar facilities was an excellent bonus and we enjoyed booking treatments on our stay. We will definitely go back to this property, as it felt a real home from home for myself, my wife and my 9 month old little boy." D. Bryan

"We we very impressed with Stargazy. The pictures looked great on your website but even they didn't do it justice. The views over the beach and towards the harbour were spectacular. It was spotless, everything was a really high standard and every little detail had been considered. All the info I could possibly need was in the folders and all the appliance switches were clearly labelled. We especially enjoyed the clotted cream scones and fruit juice which were waiting for us on arrival! The beds were really comfortable and the apartment was lovely and warm. We enjoyed splat paint a pot when it was raining and had a nice walk to Carbis Bay for an ice cream when it was a little warmer. We especially enjoyed our visit to St Michaels Mount. Everywhere we ate was delicious. We had a lovely lunch at the toastie bar near the harbour and also at the portminster beach cafe. We also enjoyed lovely evening meals and a great view at the Pedn Olva, the lifeboat inn and the sloop inn. We also enjoyed having a swim with the kids in the hotel pool. We had a really super time and loved staying in such a beautiful apartment." T.&D. Perry

"Stargazy was spotless, warm, beautifully decorated, what we appreciated was the quality of everything – such as the beautiful glass coasters. It felt like a great deal of care and thought had gone into furnishing and accessorising the apartment. By far the best place we found to eat was The Beach at Sennen Cove. Views and food to die for. We went to a KidsRUs production, which was great fun and showcased the talents of local youngsters. We would certainly go to anything they are putting on if we visit again. Although the weather was gloriously sunny, the wind was wicked, but you can’t beat walking on Porthminster Beach followed by a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows at the beach cafe while the feeling is coming back to the face! Pottering around St Ives was a joy." S. Vesey

"Stargazy's standard of accommodation was excellent – extremely well appointed and pretty much everything you wanted. We visited Heartlands in Pool which we thought was a really interesting place, especially if you were interested in Cornwall’s mining heritage. We used the complementary ticket and visited the Tate and Barbara Hepworth’s studio, was very impressed – would go again. Another must is a trip on the St Ives branch line into Penzance – the views from the train are fantastic. As for restaurants, we thoroughly enjoyed the Sea Food Café in Fore Street and visited twice during our stay. An early evening drink outside the Sloop is always good – it was just about warm enough to sit outside in early February!" N. Stocker

"We had a great time in St Ives, Stargazy exceeded our expectations and we had some fantastic food at the Porthminster Cafe and the Seafood Cafe being particular highlights. We did love our stay, if I had to write all the positives I am sure I would go over the 100 mark." M Horsman

Hannah’s birthday celebration has been absolute perfection. The location is unbeatable, and Stargazy does not feel like a holiday let – it feels like home. The immaculate décor and thoughtful touches have been much apricated. We have loved our time here.

Stargazy… Stunning apartment Tremendous views Attention to detail is excellent Really comfy and peaceful Great to have spa passes (used daily) Amazing location – St Ives is best! Zzzzzz so relaxing You’ll not find a better place to stay…we’ll be back

We have been coming to St Ives and using Carbis Bay Holidays for years. This is the best apartment we have stayed in yet. We will be back!

This is the 4th time that we have stayed in this lovely apartment and as ever we have had a great holiday. Really enjoyed the morning walks, dining out and relaxing time spent watching the best view in Cornwall. Especially enjoyed the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Looking forward to our next visit!

Another perfect fortnight here at Stargazy. We love everything about this apartment and wonderful St Ives. We’ll be back next year! Thank you to Hayley as always for a lovely warm welcome. October 18 Thank you for a wonderful week in your beautiful apartment. We find it so restful here more than any other place we have stated. We will be back next year for sure.

Outstanding Apartment.

"Stargazey is a very clean, modern 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in St Ives. We have been to St Ives many times over the last 40 years and this is by far the best apartment we have booked. We highly recommend this apartment and it is a credit to it's owners."<br/>Barry Matthews

Another great stay at Stargazy.

The weather was excellent for this time of year. The views from the balcony never fail to impress.

Stargazy is an absolutely fabulous apartment and we have loved our week here.

The weather has been very kind, unseasonably mild and plenty of sunshine. The views from Stargazy are stunning. The light in St Ives is as special as everyone says. Beautiful furnishings and an extremely well equipped kitchen. A very happy, restful and peaceful week, thank you!

Leaving today feeling rested after a wonderful stay in Stargazy and St Ives.

First Class! Thank you.

We had such a lovely visit back here thank you!

Stargazy is a perfect apartment and very generously equipped with all things needed and definitely a 5 star place. Really sad that our visit was cut short due to two days of train strikes but hopefully we'll return some day and bring the family with us who will love it. A first in St Ives for me and a return after 70 years for mum. The Barbara Hepworth Gallery and garden were a highlight and the proximity to the beach and the station was fab. Thanks again.

Lovely stay again, can't fault the apartment its like a home from home.

Can't wait to come again, Thanks Stargazy!

A wonderful time had in a shining apartment.

Beautiful views and very relaxing time to stop and reset. Highlight for us was having our breakfast on the balcony in the morning sunshine on a bright and warm February morning. Hope to stay again soon. Many thanks.

We've had the most perfect week, thank you, thank you!

Sunny and cold, absolutely beautiful and cost as can be in the wonderful Stargazy. We couldn't have a better start to 2024!

Have had a lovely Birthday week.

Views are stunning. Everything you need is here (except buckets!) Would definitely come again.

We have been coming to St Ives for many years and first Stargazy in March 2013.

We have stayed here each time since and Stargazy and St Ives never disappoint.

Well what can I say!

! We've been coming down to Cornwall for many years now, staying in Carbis Bay, but will have to say Stargazy is far the best by a mile. Lovely views from the balcony and bedrooms, we shall be returning soon!

The flat is amazing, so well equipped, and the views!

Wow! We had a fantastic week, the flat is so close to everything, and St Ives is a beautiful little village with so much to do. Cannot wait to go again, would happily recommend. 5* rating from us.

Fabulous stay in this wonderful apartment.

We have been so lucky with the weather too - breakfast on the balcony every morning. Have stayed in St Ives many, many times, think this is the best place so far! So well equipped with amazing views. Hope to come back next year. Thank you.

Our 10th visit to Stargazy and, as usual, so relaxing in this stunning apartment in an idyllic location.

The weather was perfect and helped make our visit, especially to Trebah, memorable.

Fantastic week culminating in a fun food festival.

Wonderful Apartment, great location. Loved it loads! Many thanks.

We jumped up and down when we arrived and saw the views from the apartment!

I haven't felt this excited since childhood holidays. What a brilliant week!

Another perfect week in Stargazy – braving the winds!

Thank you for allowing us to recharge in this peaceful corner of Cornwall.

We have so much enjoyed our stay at Stargazy.

The whole experience was more than we expected. This was a complete new ball game for us and we have been to Cornwall several times – both holiday lets and in our own campervan. There is a word often used on Strictly Come Dancing – “FABULOUS” – and that sums up Strictly Stargazy!! Everything for a great holiday is here: comfort, décor, views, all the kitchen equipment you need, and much more. More importantly, it feels like home. Thank you for letting us use your wonderful (fabulous!) apartment.

A wonderful stay at this beautiful apartment.

We were met with accommodation that gives careful thought to the small — but oh so important — details: the gifts, apple juice, fudge, shortbread, beach bag, lovely cream tea, and a spotlessly clean apartment. Stargazy is the perfect place to unwind. We even saw dolphins on the first day we arrived. We will return again, we are sure. Thank you.
