  • "Our third stay in Tides and good to see new beds [ very comfy ] and general refurbishments."

    Excellent base [ easy parking, very well equipped, warm apartment and just a stroll down to the beautiful Porthminster beach ]

  • "Great property in lovely location."

    We had a problem with the patio doors and the local office resolved it the same day, very professional. We have stayed at Tides before and love the apartment and location, ideal for us with a dog and the local beaches. We stayed for 2 weeks and were contacted half way through to get the towels and bed linen changed. We have booked again so well done Sykes.

  • "Lovely apartment, larger than expected which was a massive bonus."

    Very well maintained to a high standard. Was very nice to have 2 bathrooms in a 2 bedroom apartment. Very quiet even though it’s placement on the ground floor. Very much enjoyed staying there and will definitely consider rebooking again.

  • "We’ve stayed in apartment 6 and 12 in the past in this development and unfortunately the cleanliness of this apartment was very disappointing."

    There was mould on the bathroom ceiling, the twin bedroom smelt dank and mould was present on the furniture and walls in the twin bedroom. The smell was so bad that our daughter slept with us in the main bedroom as black mould spores are detrimental to health. There was hair on the top of the set of drawers in the twin bedroom. The TV cabinet doors in the living area contained bits of dirt and hair in the glass. The outside area hadn’t been swept. I can provide photos if necessary. We arrived and we thoroughly cleaned the apartment, which is extremely disappointing after a long journey. Therefore, the standard of cleanliness needs to improve considerably for future guests, to warrant the price and to be worthy of a 5 star accolade. We’d also like to make you aware this apartment is advertised including Netflix but when we tried to use it the account wasn’t registered.

    Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback, we are very sorry to hear of the cleanliness issues you experienced during your stay, we will be sure to address the issues raised with the housekeeper we are sorry to hear you had to clean the apartment after a long journey. We can confirm after your departure the owner has since had a new extractor fan fitted which has improved the issues with the mould. Regarding Netflix we believe you have to provide your own log in details to have access to this. Despite the cleanliness issues you experienced we do hope you had a wonderful holiday, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    There was also no Bose Bluetooth speaker as the listing had said. Apart from that it was the usual high standard, and we would have no hesitation returning.

    The apartment met all our expectations, clean, well stocked, and in the prefect location for us. We know St ives well, so knew we were close enough for all the beaches, walks and pubs to eat in, but also just out of the centre of town for a quiet evening. The complex and apartment is well maintained and the parking space is invaluable, if you know St ives. We had one query so contacted Sykes direct, they got straight back to us, answered our query and were very professional, so thank you. Oh yes, and we have re-booked for next year.

The outdoor table and chairs were also filthy! We otherwise had a lovely time but the cleanliness in this property was far below standard!

  • "The e-mail below was sent to Sykes on the 25/02, as of today I have had no response!"

    ! Good Morning I have had a good holiday, thank you, however it is not over for another day so I do not appreciate an e-mail reminding me what I already know, especially when it is then followed up by a text! Do not worry, the apartment will be left as we found it, in fact it will be better as it took me over 20 minutes to clean the washing machine to a standard good enough to actually put "dirty clothes" in it. We regularly holiday in St Ives and this is the first time we have ventured away from our normal location and must say that we are very pleased with the apartment, complex and its position with easily accessible parking. What I cannot understand is why, given the condition that we must leave the apartment in ( no issues , it's basic manners) does it take 7 hours for it to be available for the next occupants. We arrived early and were told in no uncertain terms by the cleaning staff to go and park elsewhere as the space was needed for the maintenance man, strange then that at least two bulbs are out and no batteries left in half of the remotes! The excuse of Covid 19 is fast ending & I hope that holiday companies soon realise that people have had enough of losing a full day of their hard-earned holidays. We will holiday again in St Ives and will look favourably at Gallinas Point and the surrounding areas but, like others, will be waiting to see if and when 7 days holiday returns to 7 days holiday? Kind regards David Roberts

    Thank you very much for your feedback as it is very important to us! We are very sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the condition you found the washing machine in and that there have been some maintenance issues. The reasons for the changeover period are to allow the housekeeping team and the maintenance team enough time to clean and maintain the property to the highest standard possible. We can assure you that we will have a close look at this and address any issues so we can resolve for the future. We are also working on pushing back on the change over time so that guests will hopefully soon be able to check in earlier. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "The property was very nice."

    My only comments would be that do not say you have Sky TV if you aren't going to share the 4 digit pin code. I was very frustrated that I couldn't watch most programmes so essentially it felt like normal TV or child friendly programmes! Also, I would have liked some more basic household products within the kitchen such as cling film or foil, salt/pepper. I have stayed in other apartments that have had all of this. Other than that, it was really well located and only a 10 min walk down to the Harbour.

    Dear Ms Roberts, Thank you for taking the time to submit you feedback to us. We unfortunately cannot give out the PIN as this allows full access to the Sky services; such as paid services and on demand movies which are chargeable etc. After the watershed, the Sky channels open up so all available channels are viewable. The household products vary between each property, as these are down the the individual owner. The location of Gallinas Point is great for accessing St Ives with the added bonus of being near to the train station, ideal for exploring the rest of Cornwall.

    We have been going to St Ives a couple of times a year on holiday for several years now. We always book with Carbis Bay Holidays, I hope now that the company has merged with Sykes cottages that the standard remains high. We love St Ives as it has lots to do for all ages. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and had all the facilities we needed. The only negative was that the living room would have been more comfortable with a rug. We are a little disappointed with the very high prices for Carbis Bay Holiday apartments for next year.

I’m pleased to advise all the old Carbis Bay Holidays team are still working at our two offices in Carbis Bay and here to help and assist you whenever possible throughout your stay. With regards to pricing for 2022, there has been a huge demand for staycations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance.

    We find this to be ridiculous, an increase of 10-20% we can understand but 100%+ is complete exploitation of the current pandemic. This has left a sour taste and despite us wanting to book next year unfortunately the price has changed our mind.
