"Absolutely loved this place perfect for what we wanted."
Clean cosy very well equipped everything we needed.
-
"A fabulous place to stay in a beautiful part of the World."
Lovely maintained gardens with a view from our bedroom looking over the gardens to the sea. A short walk down to Carbis Bay or take a costal walk to St Ives or Lelant. Amazing holiday and so lucky with the weather in October. Would highly recommend and would book to stay in Millie’s again .

"Beautiful apartment stocked with everything we might need."
Stunning gardens and breathtaking views. The gate leading to the beach road/ path to station was ideal and meant we didn't need to use the car at all. Thank you for a lovely holiday!
Thank you so much for leaving such a great review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes. Property Owner

"Was our first visit to Cornwall & we had everything we needed!"
The apartment & garden both stunning, beach a short walk away, regular train service 5mins away & only £2 return to st Ives & back. Majority of places dog friendly, We had an amazing break & will definitely be back in the future. Thank you
Thank you. It brings us so much joy to hear such wonderful feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your holiday. Hopefully we can welcome you back again. With our warmest regards. Property Owner

"We loved this place."
It is the perfect location just a short-walk down to Carbis Bay beach and with easy access to the coast path for St Ives or Porthkidney Sands (which is always empty!). The property was exactly as advertised and key instructions etc were clear. The kitchen had everything required. Worth noting that there is limited inside space for dining (this is clear on the listing tbh) so the lovely outside patio area is the primary option.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Millies. With our warmest regards. Property Owner

"Lovely accommodation, in an idyllic setting."
Beautiful views and a great location for easy access to the train station or walking to St Ives. We didn't move the car for 3 days which was a real bonus. Our dog loved it too, especially the stunning beach on the doorstep - gate access was ideal. Would love to stay again in the future. Thank you!
-
"An absolutely fantastic property which is a credit to you."
We had an amazing week here in this beautifully decorated property. It was immaculate and catered for everyone with all the mod cons and modern touch. Our first time in Cornwall was made so much for pleasurable in this home from home. We couldn't have asked for a more idyllic place to stay after our 7 hour journey and look forward to staying again soon. Thank you and kindest regards.

"We had a lovely fortnight here at Millie's even though the weather was quite wet."
We absolutely loved the recliner chairs and shower and the beautiful garden and view. So lovely to be so near to the beach and we highly recommend fish and chips from Becks. We hope to be back next year.

"It was absolutely brilliant!"
Millies was amazing. We come to Cornwall every year and would love to return here. It has everything you need. Thank you to the owners and cleaners of Millies.

"The apartment was very comfortable and close to the beach."
We have stayed in this block of 8 apartments many times over the last 20 years. Very comfortable main bed and lovely shower. The single beds were not anywhere near as comfortable as the main bed. The shared outside washing line is great when sunny, but we had a few rainy days and the towel rail in the bathroom is not big enough to dry wet clothes. Why is there not a washer dryer or at the very least a clothes airier that can be put up inside to dry wet clothes? We stayed 2 weeks so the floor became dusty and sandy so a broom or access to a vacuum would have been nice. For the price we paid many places now have a pod coffee machine. There is not enough kitchen items. There is no pizza tray or pizza slice. We kept running out of clean mugs, plates and cutlery. The saucepans and cooking pots are far too small to cook for 4 people. We had to boil pasta across 2 pans while bolognaise was spread across 1 pan and the tiny frying pan. The high price of holiday lets these days means more and more people eating out less, so more stuff in the kitchen would be good.
Thank you for your feedback, which is always appreciated. The vacuum cleaner, clothes airer and brush, etc are stored in the bathroom cupboard. However, upon speaking to Housekeeping, they have advised that the cupboard was unfortunately locked in error during your stay. Our sincere apologies for this. For information, there is also a retractable clothes dryer on the outside wall, under the cover of the balcony above. We are delighted to have had several repeat bookings from guests staying this year already, however, have ordered, a coffee machine and pizza slicer etc, so that the apartment meets all our future guests’ expectations – thank you for this suggestion. The crockery and cutlery will also be replenished from this weekend. Just to advise, Carbis Bay Holidays are available 7 days a week to support any queries or concerns. With our best wishes.

"We had a great time, Millies was spotlessly clean and is in an amazing location!"
So much so we have already booked for next year!

"Our second visit, this time in June."
Had a great time again. Fab walks. So nice to have the windows wide open at night, fresh sea air and listening to the waves. Thank you for our prosecco for returning guests - nice touch. Will be back again next year!

"This property was immaculate throughout and an absolute credit to the owners, the location is stunning and the property is very well equipped as well as very modern."
The complimentary condiments and the supply of cleaning materials were a nice touch and it really felt like home from home, thank you for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back in the very near future.
Thank you so much for such fabulous feedback. We’ll certainly pass on your comments to our housekeepers who work really hard to keep it clean and tidy for our guests. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back again in the future. With our best wishes. Property Owner

"Excellent apartment with all amenities."
In lovely position with great views from garden. Lots of steps and very steep hill so not ideal for disabled or anyone with walking difficulties. Vacating by 10.00am a little early especially as cannot get in till 16.00. Otherwise great.
Thank you for your review. We’re so glad you liked the apartment and enjoyed your stay. There is a steep driveway to the apartment and some further steps, however, this has been highlighted as part of the description. Housekeeping work hard during the changeover to ensure all safety checks are carried out and the apartment is clean and tidy for guests arrival. Property Owner

"An amazing stay in this perfect holiday cottage."
All mod cons, beautiful fixtures and fittings., A view to die for and so tranquil (even the train doesn't detract). Spending the week here to attend my sons wedding at CBH. The setting for the wedding unbelievable. A stunning day to remember her at Carbis Bay. Very sad to leave but will be back at some point. With Best Wishes.

"We had a brilliant time at Millies, thank you so much!"
Everything you need for a home from home stay! Thank you!

"What a gem of a place."
Property was spotless. Views amazing. Short walk to the beach and fab location. An amazing week with lovely weather. Hope to return next year.

"We loved this property ."
We walked into an immaculate, comfortable , well equipped , beautiful holiday home . It had everything we could possibly need. The views are amazing . Comfortable beds . The guide to everything in the property and surrounding areas was so helpful. 4 minute walk down to the sandy beach below . The driveway down to the property is very steep but we quickly got used to driving up and down it . The surrounding gardens are kept beautifully and give it a tropical feel. We will definitely be returning next year .
Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback, which is very much appreciated. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Sending our best wishes. Property Owner

"A really lovely spot and the accommodation was immaculate."
Bed very comfy, bathroom and shower fab. The lounge area is very cosy and the small patio with furniture great. Views awesome. It is a fabulous holiday home with all needs catered for within the property. The hill is quite daunting for a nervous or inexperienced driver, and this should be made clear as in the current description the 'very steep hill' sounds like a comment about walking up/down it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. We will of course take your comments regarding the steep hill into consideration. With best wishes. Property Owner

"Fantastic spot and so fortunate with the 20 degree plus weather in October!"
Everything to hand and spotlessly clean. Loved the sea views, the fab walk to St Ives and even more of the glorious views!! Fabulous! Thank you.
-
"Millies was excellent, had everything we needed."
The gardens were well maintained and had a nice view out to sea.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Millie’s. With our best wishes. Property Owner

"Lovely little place, I hurt my ankle slipping on wet floors on arrival n hurt my ankle so please be careful on way in as floors were soaking wet."
Rear gardens and views are beautiful just a little tlc needed in places ie entrances needed a sweep n weeds but nothing major n damp in bedrooms behind beds so move your luggage as ours got mouldy. Lovely welcome pack on arrival thankyou for that I actually went to source out the tea. Everything provided iron was a god send as I'd forgotten mine. Great little trek down to the local beach n they're beautiful. Nice walk down into St ives if you follow the train tracks down passing all the beautiful building and views, takes about half an hour on foot. Trains were a little noisey at times at bottom of property but got use to that after few days. Chilly on a night guys so take something warm had to pop heating on. I'd suggest bigger towels n maybe a few extra as drying them was hard n the drying area was shaded so had to buy 4 from asda . Bedding lovely and comfy. Did have a lovely stay and visited all the lovely areas the beaches are amazing. Local tescos and pharmacy few mins away so that was good. Very very steep road to the property and quite tight to get to if uve a bigger car so be careful driving down. Overall a lovely little place , few glitches but didn't effect out stay. Would highly recommend
Thank you for your review. Carbis Bay is a beautiful place to stay, with all the amenities you need within walking distance from Millies. For info, there are communal clothes dryers located in the garden and also a towel heater in the bathroom. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay as do our very best to make it as welcoming as possible for all of our guests. The apartment underwent a full refurbishment in May therefore will look into the other issues raised. Property Owner

"Loved our stay and apartment is gorgeous, with great views."
Lovely and quiet. Good amount of utensils, pots etc in kitchen. It was chilli one evening so we put the heater on and it heated the room up very quick, turned of and room stayed warm for rest of evening. The only criticism and a small one is the sheets on the bed, they are too small, you need deep fitted sheets, the sheets kept pinging off the corners two or three times in a night. Loved our stay and would highly recommend this property.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the apartment met your expectations. We will certainly contact our housekeeper to ask if she can source deeper sheets. Many thanks again. Property Owner
