"Very disappointed with responses from Sykes following 2 separate calls."
All week we were plagued by an intermittent beeping from a neighbouring apartment. Although I appreciate the resolution may have been out of your control neither time did anyone call back to report what the management company were doing. And we had no courtesy calls.
This noise was disrupting, especially at night when no other sounds blocked it out. In fact it would appear the MC did nothing. A guy testing the fire alarm on Friday ended up calling Carbis Bay Holidays who manage the property. They came out Friday lunchtime but only closed the kitchen window that had been open wide since we’d arrived. The beeping continued and was still going when we left Saturday morning.
The drains need a clean as are most unpleasant when the washing machine is on.
Otherwise apartment was very clean, comfy and welcoming.
Everything
Thank you for your feedback. I can see you got in touch with us at Carbis Bay Holidays shortly after checking in, unfortunately the noise you had reported came from a property unmanaged by ourselves, we did however contact the building management company who assured us they would do their best to get hold of the owners. As you have mentioned, sadly this issue was out of our control. We will however take note of the issue with you drains you have mentioned. I do hope you still managed to enjoy your time in St Ives and Carbis Bay. Kindest regards - Carbis Bay Holidays team.

"The property was exactly as pictured and described."
It was clean, very comfortable and the kitchen was exceptionally well presented. It was stocked with all the appliances you could need, plenty of pots and pans and crockery.
We’ve been to Carbis Bay many times and would definitely choose to stay at Lapis again. We had a fantastic week as always.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to see that you had a fantastic week. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

"An absolutely beautiful apartment with everything you could possibly need for your stay."
The Little touches such as blankets for sitting outdoors which came in very handy as we sat out on a lovely evening watching the Perseid Meteor shower. Games and books in case the weather wasn't great and all the cooking utensils and gadgets you need in a good kitchen. Thank you for the lovely welcome package of tea, chocolate, biscuits and the soap and moisturiser etc it was very much appreciated. We absolutely loved our stay here at Lapis, enjoyed the lovely artwork on the walls but most of all soaking up a view we could never tire of and the proximity to the beach was great. Very sad to leave. We will definitely be back!
That you for your feedback we are pleased to see you loved your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

Great to be able to sit on the terrace looking at and listening to the sea. One thing that you could mention is the unsuitability for people with walking difficulty as the paths and roads are quite steep. Other than that, first class! Thank you.

"We absolutely loved our stay at Lapis."
The view, short distance to the beach, rug space for the babies to play, the comfy beds, the little extras made it such a wonderful holiday.
The only improvements would be warmer duvets in the twin room and blankets in the living room/to be used whilst sitting outside.
Everything else was perfect. Thank you so much for having us!
Thank you for your helpful comments. We will be making available, single fleece throws which can be used when sitting outside and for warmth when single duvets are not warm enough.

"Great property, perfect location."
Kitchen and living room perfect.
Duvets of Tog 4.5 for April not warm enough in the twin bedrooms and no throws available. Master bedroom was good - tog 10.5.
The water temperature in both the showers was too cool . The water from the hot tap in the bathrooms was good but that temperature could not be reached in the shower.
It would have been nice to have a throw or blanket in the lounge area.
The pedestrian gate is far too heavy on the hinge. My elderly mother can make it up the hill but not hold the gate open and I imagine it is useless if using a pushchair.
I am not complaining about the property- I would love to stay again. I am making the owners and letting agents aware of its jiggles and shortcomings

"Lovely apartment, very comfortable and everything we needed for our holiday."
It was great to have the table and chairs on the outside deck area and even in the first week of October the weather was good and we were able to sit outside to enjoy the fabulous view plus watch the seals in the bay.
A couple of small things we’d like to mention - the hot water is very hot especially in the shower so maybe the temperature could be turned down a little to avoid someone being scolded. Also when we arrived the decorative edge under the shower door in the main shower room was lying flat on the floor, my husband managed to push it back into the correct position but feel this should be mentioned so it can be resolved.
We throughly enjoyed our stay at Lapis and would recommend this property to our family and friends.
We thank you for taking the time to leave us your lovely feedback and comments following your stay at Lapis.

"This is our third (I think!"

The large sofa in the lounge had stains on, the coffee machine still had coffee and a filter in it, the ensuite bathrooms bath plug didn't work clearly showing the bath hadn't been cleaned, the toilet roll holder and the toothbrush holder were hanging off the wall, the double sinks were grubby and the bath panel was dirty along the top. Such a shame as the views are insane but it really put a dampner on our stay.

"Lapis is a beautiful apartment, very well equipped, spacious, comfortable and has the most stunning views out over the bay."
We were very fortunate to enjoy perfect weather throughout our entire stay this year so also made good use of the outside decked area. Special thanks to the cleaning team who ensured that the apartment was immaculately prepared for us. This year was our tenth year of visiting Carbis Bay and of booking through Carbis Bay holidays and we are already looking at availability for next year, we would recommend Lapis as a perfect base for your holiday. The train station is 5 minutes walk and a 4 minute journey into St Ives, also enjoying stunning views along the way or there's the coastal path to follow if you like a lovely walk, and if relaxing on the beach is your thing Carbis beach is perfect for paddling, swimming or paddle boarding, rarely seeing any large waves. If you've never been before you should seriously consider it!

"Lovely comfortable apartment with everything needed for a week of self catering."
Beautiful location and fantastic views.
The walk in shower controls were broken but the property manager had already been notified and was booking a plumber.
Instructions in the folder would have been helpful to access the beach gate. We only found the fob at the end of the holiday. My fault as I hadn't seen it on the dark worktop. I had to email twice for Instructions as I didn't know it was a separate fob. A spare was posted by the property manager on the Monday. So happily resolved.

"Excellent location."
Brilliant property. Our family loved our stay there. Well looked after and we would thoroughly recommend it for other families with direct access to the beach.
Only recommendation is to advertise that the grass outside is not allowed to be played on. The picture suggests otherwise. Our little ones were disappointed. And it would be better to provide more plates and glasses otherwise the disk washer needs to be put on multiple times per day. Not efficient use.
Small points but they would not stop us from staying again. Thank you.

""Having seen the photos of the apartment online with a lounge, dining area, full kitchen, two bedrooms and a sea view, it was just what we were looking for."
The apartment was exactly as described, super clean, warm and comfortable. There is a path that leads down to the coast road where you can walk the coastal path to St Ives in approx. 20 mins. Carbis Bay is a really lovely area but a 20 min. drive to Penzance and you can explore more coastal paths on that side. Fantastic place, just what we wanted, very pleased and would book again."
