Fantastic stay. Everything you could possibly need available. Amazing views from apartment. Lovely area. Lots to do. Did walk the coastal path into st ives but also took the train which is so easy and quick. Saves the nightmare of parking which we liked.Hopefully we will definitely return

Waking up to the sound of the waves lapping on the shores of Carbis Bay is wonderful. The views from both lounge and bedroom are spectacular. We'll never tire of it.
Mr Griffiths September 2019
The views was great but the cleanliness of the apartment was not good

Fantastic beautiful apartment. Very clean & tidy & modern. Very spacious & comfy. The views are absolutely breathtaking. Lovely secured area with own car park space. Very quick easy access to the beach.
Mrs Cook July 2018
An almost perfect place to stay. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. There's a large terrace and there are glorious views of St Ives in one direction to Godrevy lighthouse in the other. Easy (but steepish) access to lovely Carbis Bay beach and very handy for the train to St Ives if you don't feel like the walk. Plenty of places to eat nearby and a well equipped kitchen to cook in.

This is the perfect location with beautiful sea views one side and the train to St Ives the other. We cannot recommend it highly enough

Mr Pollock July 2014
The best location ever for Cornwall,( excellent appartment) train station for St Ives behind appartment, views of beach and surrounding coast line are stunning.
Mr Carter June 2014
This is a superb apartment in a wonderful location. We have been here 4 times and have never been disappointed. The decked terrace across the width of the apartment is a great place to just sit and look out over the bay. If you want to go into St Ives, it is only a few minutes walk from the train station, and getting into St Ives by train is so much better than trying to do that by car. You do need to be aware that the main bedroom is significantly bigger than the other bedroom and looks out over the bay. However, even the smaller bedroom is perfectly ok.
Ms Crick April 2014
Perfect base to explore the treasures of South West Cornwall, and to feast on the gourmet delights of St Ives!
Mr Allen March 2014
