Porthia Blue

A lovely fresh and modern apartment which was pristine clean, very comfortable (seats and beds!), well-equipped, quiet, and with a lovely seaview - and you can just see St Ives' headland temptingly in the distance one way, and Godrevy lighthouse over in the corner the other way. You can sit on the covered balcony and if it's a teeny bit breezy at times there are lovely throws provided to wrap around you. We have stayed in other apartments in Carbis Bay and knew to expect the very steep road down (and up!) to the beach and train station and were ready for it - maybe not so good for anybody with mobility restrictions, but it is very handy either getting on the train and taking the 3 minute trip into St Ives, or enjoying the slightly challenging coastal path in with its marvellous views. Carbis Bay beach is quiet and if you like variety, there are others along at St Ives too but we've often overlooked Carbis Bay beach when it was right under our nose. If you're vegetarian or vegan there is a restaurant nearby and you can get take out, and there are good options in nearby St Ives too. A big Tesco store in Carbis Bay is great for stocking up if you are eating or snacking in the apartment. Carbis Bay is a handy place as a base to visit other parts of Cornwall too - a week is not long enough! We definitely hope to return to this apartment, which suited our needs very well and has left us with good memories of our trip this time....

Very warm and comfortable apartment with great sea views and good quality furnishings and fittings. Ideal location with a short walk to the train station and its own parking space.

Very good apartment close to Carbis Bay Railway Station and Carbis Bay beach. Coastal path to centre of St Ives approx. 2 miles, very steep in places. The apartment is first floor with one below and one above.

Porthia Blue is a lovely apartment in a great location. The views from the balcony are to die for and even in bad weather the views can be enjoyed from the strategically positioned sofas! The apartment is immaculate and is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need on your holiday. The nearby train station is a bonus for nipping into St Ives and a snip at £1 each way! ...

Porthia Blue is a well equipped, spacious apartment in an excellent location with spectacular views. Despite being a short walk from the beach it also felt very private and tranquil. Overall excellent
