• "Second time of staying here, it’s a lovely property in a good location and good value."

  We’re already thinking about re-booking. A few areas to note: - on arrival a slightly unpleasant smell in the en-suite bathroom which soon disappeared - wine cooler doesn’t appear to work (not a problem - the wine went in the fridge!) - plenty of cutlery but very few food preparation knives which were not sharp - not much you can do but again the people in the apartment were noisy

  We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see you again for a 2nd time and are glad that you enjoyed the lovely property. We have picked up on the points you have raised and will be looking into these for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bamaluz in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  Foodie highlights for our family of pizza lovers were Onzo & Host in town. We hope to be back. Porthminster was our favourite beach, The puss pass for a week is a good option. Thank you.

  The coffee pot is also broken, someone has made a temporary repair.

  The apartment is fabulous, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The position of the apartment is really good for the trainline and also a bus stop just across the road. We slept really well in the very comfortable beds zzzzz. Carbis Bay and Porthminster beach are beautiful and very safe for the children. We wouldn't hesitate in booking Bamaluz again so we hope to be back soon.

• "Bamaluz is an excellent contemporary holiday apartment which is nicely furnished and well maintained."

  It is well equipped, has comfy beds and the added advantage of on-site parking. St. Ives is easily accessible by bus as the bus stop is very close to the property or alternatively Carbis Bay train station is a fairly short, hilly walk away. We really enjoyed our stay here and would thoroughly recommend the apartment.

  A bit cold on arrival, and we were disappointed with the lack of welcoming provisions (eg toiletries, condiments) in comparison with other rentals we have visited recently. However, this was not our first visit to Bamaluz and we'd certainly come again.

  Thank you very much for taking the time to leave constructive feedback after your stay at Bamaluz. We apologise that you found the property cold on arrival. Had this been reported at the time, we would have done our very best to resolve this for you as a matter of urgency. In regard to the welcome pack, this is a company wide alteration that has been implemented to encourage sustainability and to help us meet the requirements of our recent B-Corp award.

  We've done some great walks and have certainly tested our fitness going up and down the steep paths!

• "What a lovely apartment, so beautifully clean and welcoming."

  We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and both felt very comfortable. We have been very lucky with the weather and enjoyed some spectacular walks along the Coast Path. The highlight of which was the walk from St Ives towards Zennor. It is quite challenging in places but very worth it for the amazing views and sound of the crashing waves. We had lovely meals at both the Gannet Inn and The Beach Club. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we have really enjoyed it and are already planning our return.

• "My wife, our little son and I were in the Bamaluz and we loved our stay!"

  ! The apartment was very new and clean, the balcony had ocean view and despite sleeping with an open window, we heard nothing from the nearby street while sleeping. St. Ives with its bars, restaurants and beaches was just a beautiful coastline track (around 30 minutes) away and the Carbis Bay beach accessible in under 10 minutes - again, after walking down a beautiful valley. We would recommend the Bamaluz to anyone asking and will look to come back to it one day.

  Lovely weather, plenty of walks. The beaches are stunning. Just a short walk to the beach at Carbis Bay. Really handy having beach equipment available in the apartment. St Ives is a nice walk with lovely beaches, shops and restaurants. Suggest walking or catching the train to St Ives. St Michael's Mount is lovely. Becks Fish and Chips - good value. Lovely meal at The Gannet Inn across the road. Tesco a short stroll away. Refreshed, relaxed and looking to return. Thank you!

  It is well maintained, scrupulously clean, and the bed linen is really good. We found it cold on arrival this time - it took rather a long time to warm up and the heating was not easy to control - but we'd have no hesitation in booking this apartment again.

  Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you have had a good time at Bamaluz and would book another stay without hesitation.

• "Not a lot can be done about this but the apartments don’t appear to have much in the way of soundproofing from above."

  Sounded like a herd of wildebeest up there from time to time. (We are in No 4 this week and it’s the same here.) Having the boiler in a cupboard in the bedroom was annoying. Took me a few nights to get used to it chuntering away. Having said that Bamaluz is a very comfortable apartment. It was exceptionally clean and tidy for our arrival and was a perfect base for walking to St Ives. Well kitted out with good quality fixtures and fittings. Extremely comfortable bed! Parking is good for the area with a space on level ground behind the apartment block. [I’ve ticked ‘Yes’ re publishing feedback but you might wish to edit out my comments about noise. Not much you can do about neighbours or how the architect decided to configure the layout! Would we return to St Margaret’s? I doubt it. As you know we have already had two apartments on Headland Road with you this year. We miss the frontline view.]

  Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and found it extremely clean and tidy! We are sorry to hear that the apartments at St Margarets are all quite noisy, thank you but we cannot edit feedback to alter peoples comments.

• "Really nice apartment."

  We reslly enjoyed our stay at Bamaluz. The only thing that we were disappointed with was the constant noise from the apartment directly above which constantly sounded like a herd of baby elephants stampeding around at all times of the day and night. I realise there is not much that Sykes could do about this but it did take the shine off what was otherwise a really relaxing holiday in a nice apartment. Something the owners could do something about is the bushes to the left of the gate when exiting the property as these obscure the view on what is quite a dangerous bend. Overall, we were a bit apprehensive about our stay after staying at other quality rentals in the area for the last 14 years but we were very pleased with our stay with Sykes and will definitely book again.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the property and your stay! We were saddened to hear about your noise issues during your stay. Thank you so much again for your comments and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

  A comfortable & tactfully decorated apartment. Only critique would be the sofa being a little small to accommodate a family. The selection of games to play is a nice touch!

  We have been to Carbis Bay before and stayed in accommodation provided by Carbis Bay Holidays which is always excellent. Would recommend a trip to St Ives, we walked along the cost path, lovely views. We had a problem with the hot water tank, reported it at 10pm and it was fixed by 2pm the next day.

  Generally clean but we found an used shoe insert inside the drawer with the pots and pans under the cooking range top and hair in the bathrooms. Two of the bath towels were not clean - one had patches of dried sticky stuff. Hooks or bars in the bathrooms for towels very much needed. Black out blinds also a must, especially during summer months, it was very bright very early!

• ""This apartment is wonderful."

  Being brand new it is very modern and everything is finished to a high spec. The decor is lovely and it has a very comfortable feel to it. The apartment had everything we could have wanted and needed. A great location, 10 minutes walk down (a very steep hill) to the carbis bay beach and approx 25 minutes walk into St Ives along the road or coastal path. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone. The only negative is that the description says 'sea views'. These sea views are extremely limited, you can see a little bit of sea because most of the horizon is covered with a line of trees below the apartment. I imagine you do get a sea view in winter when the trees have no leaves. If you go knowing that you will not be disappointed. Everything else was perfect. "
