The Mermaid’s Purse

Great location, comfortable and spacious.

Beautiful apartment - even better than the photos! (and larger than we expected). We hesitated initially because of it being on the ground floor but in fact the patio is much larger than any of the balconies above and the wicker patio furniture a huge plus! We’re so glad we took this ground floor apartment and hope very much to come again.

A wonderfully comfortable and spacious apartment with the most amazing views from it's terrace. Beautiful beach and coastal walks.

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.

The views was great but the cleanliness of the apartment was not good

Amazing view, great access to lovely, safe beach, beautiful and spotless apartment with great location for places of interest!

The view, the high standard of comfort and finish, well equipped kitchen, the telescope, the ease of parking, the location, the peacefulness all made for a fabulous and relaxing holiday.

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.

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.

We think you would never find anywhere better wherever you travel. It's wonderful.

Fabulous view of beach + Bay in general, lovely terrace to appreciate it all, great for touring or staying put, beautiful clean, comfortable + well euipped!

fantastic location fantastic apartment enjoy

Flat and equipment excellent. Location and view excellent.

'Coming Home' is the feeling we get each year we visit Mermaids Purse. It is really magical to feel its love around you.

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

We have returned to The Mermaid's Purse at Carbis Bay for some time now and really it's just such a beautiful apartment in such a heavenly spot!

This cottage has every thing you need views, very nice inside & and you would find it hard to find anything better.

A glorious location with fantastic sea viewa one side and the direct railway to St Ives the other. A perfect getaway.

We have already recommended this holiday destination to our friends and relatives as the best property we have stayed at in the Classic Cottage brochure.

Very comfortable apartment with a fantastic view of the beach, provided a relaxing and perfect weeks getaway (end of October!).

Anyone considering The Mermaid's Purse should not hesitate - ir's just perfect in every way.

One of the nicest apartments we have rented with super views of Carbis Bay.

Amazing views overlooking the balcony to the sea, lovely to eat out on, very relaxing and spacious areas.

The best location ever for Cornwall,( excellent appartment) train station for St Ives behind appartment, views of beach and surrounding coast line are stunning.

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.

Perfect base to explore the treasures of South West Cornwall, and to feast on the gourmet delights of St Ives!

Please do not tell too many people how wonderful this place is or we might struggle to re-book. I told my sister and she followed there soon after!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this most comfortable and clean apartment. This fantastic location with a stunning view is ideal for a relaxing beach holiday.

It looked attractive with a wonderful view. We couldn't fault it and would like to go back.

We have stayed there before. Wonderful views and location, excellent facilities.
