Another fabulous stay at Mermaids Purse what a fabulous location. Spotlessly clean, great location right near the station 3 mins into St Ives. We loved it so much we have booked for next year thank you to the owners and excellent housekeeping team. ...

Great apartment with a wonderful view of the sea and Carbis Bay. The train line to St.Ives and St.Erth was so handy and had great views of the coastline. So many things to do in the area too.

Mermaids Purse is in a perfect location. There are stunning views from the lounge and bedroom. Being a three minute train ride away from the hustle and bustle of St Ives , is a great plus. The apartment is very attractively furnished and has everything you need for a wonderful holiday....

We enjoyed a week at Mermaid’s Purse with our two young children. The location was great, just above Carbis Bay - the walk to the beach was easy and quick. The views from the back patio/deck were beautiful and greatly enjoyed once the children were out to bed. The apartment itself is great for a small family - the rooms are comfortable, the lounge is comfortable, the kitchen is kitted out well. We would happily rent there again. ...
