  • "Property was great thanks."

    Locating the property was not easy the post code takes you somewhere else on Sat Nav and the estate agents that you say the property is next to no longer exists. Luckily we know the area so it was okay for us but I guess other guests will have more difficulty locating the property. Just need to update your directions description.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see thart you had a great stay. We shall look into ammending the directions for the Sail Loft so they are more up-to-date. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "We stayed for a fortnight in the Sail Loft, it was fabulous."

    Lots of room for the four of us. Appliances and furnishings were high quality. Beds were very comfy. We very much appreciated the welcome items, thank you. Having a washing machine and drier was great. Shower and bath were lovely. Usually when I stay in a holiday apartment there is something missing that would improve the apartment, not so with the Sail Loft, it is a real home from home. We appreciated the wetsuit, beach chairs, buckets and spades, there was even hair straighteners! Sky TV and a dvd player are in the living room, all the bedrooms have TVs too, the main bedroom has Netflix, NOW TV etc. I enjoyed lovely walks to Carbis Bay each morning, then everything within St Ives was within walking distance. The restaurants were amazing! St Ives even had a visit from King Charles while we were there! We bought a Rover ticket for parking which meant we could park in all the places that we visited including St Ives. There is a Co op very conveniently situated about one minute from the apartment. We would love to come back one day. I highly recommend this apartment.

    Thank you for your fantastic feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved The Sail Loft, the location and your stay! Thank you so much again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

    However, the stairwell and access were messy with a TV Box and other unnecessary bits of 'stuff' which needed negotiating. There isn't a sea view... But otherwise, nice and very well presented.

    Don't assume everyone consumes dairy and animal products. Dairy and animal products/ingredients left for us would best be replaced with soya. Also, games, cards / puzzles not full sets which was irritating when playing games. No laundry detergent left which was disappointing. Freezer also needs,defrosting - was iced up. Don't think we will book this flat again.

  • "The holiday flat was lovely."

    Very spacious and thoroughly enjoyable to stay in. The king size bed was so comfortable, one of the bed I've stayed in. Lots of wardrobe space and beautifully laid out with added entertainment of games and puzzles for us to enjoy as a family. Just a couple of points to add. There were so many unexpected extras which were brilliant, but it would have been great to have known some of these in advance e.g. hairdryer and straighteners, ample amounts of fans to keep us cool and washing up accessories - dishwasher tablets and fairy liquid included. It mentioned in the booking info to bring beach towels and tea-towels, however, the property had plenty of tea towels which was very useful. A little list of what the property included would have been wonderful to know in advance. Slight issues - the TV controller in the small bedroom didn't work, the bottle opener is not easy to use as has wonky arms making opening bottles very difficult and making guests aware of the unpredictable wifi before arriving would have been a great heads up - especially as it advertised as one of the amenities included in the property. However, we had a very enjoyable stay in the Loft within the busy heart of St Ives. Thank you

  • "We have stayed at the apartment twice now."

    Its lovely and spacious. I like that there are tvs in each bedroom ( bring dvds for the kids rooms as they don't have channels) it gives everyone their own space to relax. The kitchen is very well equipped, we made a few meals during our stay. The beds are very comfy. It's easy to drop luggage off outside and for food deliveries. We will have no hesitation in booking this property again. A couple of very small things for improvement, the advertised Wii hasn't worked on both of our stays and a chair in the living room could do with replacing.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so glad that you love the property as much as we do! Your comments have been taken on board and reported to the relevant departments to try and rectify. We are glad to hear that you had a wonderful stay, thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the near future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  • "Regular visitors to St Ives."

    This is a busy noisy location which is unavoidable. Windows although closed, let in a lot of noise (people outside shouting, buses, cars etc). Suggest an extra layer of glass as it disturbs sleep. TV in main bedroom had no signal so unuseable. Main TV and Sky remotes are difficult to get to work. Tried replacing batteries. Althouh beds were of a big standard we found the pillows too thick making sleep uncomfortable. A choice of pillows (some thinner spares) might have helped. Shower sprays all over the floor which needs mopping up after each use. Not a big problem but you can see the effect on the flooring grout. Perhaps install another drain in the floor near the bath. Overall a good stay. Noisy nights outside around 12 am were the issue for usm Thank you.

    Because of the location and the crowds in St Ives, however, our party of 4 adults did not get a decent night's sleep in the whole week and parking was a nightmare. Revellers till 1am, seagulls and joy riders on motorbikes till 5 am, bin men and construction workers from 6am till early afternoon. This is not the owner's fault, but the noise and the difficulty in parking was not a great holiday experience. The Sail Loft is great, alas the location was not.
