• "We had a brilliant holiday at Ocean View, the apartment is so spacious and the views are amazing!"

  ! Easy access to the train station and the beach is lovely. Things to note, the large sofa is broke, I called immediately on arrival to report this. I was told someone would come out and have a look but we didn’t see anyone. This really could do with repairing/replacing, also the mattress in the main bedroom is very soft with a dip in the middle so this could also do with renewing. The cold tap at the kitchen sink fell off and just needs a small screw to fix it. But we would definitely book again, the cleanliness was great and the apartment is well equipped!!

  Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are glad to see that you had a brilliant holiday at Ocean view. We have passed your comments in regards to the sofa onto the owner of Ocean View and they are looking into this. Please rest assured however that this does not effect the use of the sofa. We are looking forward to welcoming you back again in the near future. Warm regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "The flat matched the description, the location is perfect for exploring the local area and the view was great."

  It’s spacious and well furnished plus having Sky+ was a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped and the parking was very convenient. The gas boiler had a fault but Carbis Bay holidays sent someone to fix it within the hour which was impressive! The only negatives are the mattresses are not the most comfortable and the curtains in the master bedroom don’t block the light from the exterior lighting. Still overall a very nice place to stay in Carbis Bay.

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! We were sorry to hear you had an issue but pleased to hear we were able to deal with this quickly and efficiently. Thank you again for all your comments which have been taken on board and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "A few things went wrong and we had no local contact telephone numbers or email."

  The only telephone number on the website was a national number for Sykes. We had to leave a hand written list on our departure which hopefully will be passed on to the relevant person.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear a few things went wrong for you during your stay and that you were not able to reach out to our local team. Please be aware that we have put in place "Quick Start Guides" to be found in all of our properties which contain the phone number of our local office (01736 630015,Option 2) and helpful information to navigate your way through the property. The Chester Team of Sykes is also always able to put guests through to our local office to talk you through any difficulties experienced during your stay. We thank you for leaving us a list with bits to check on your departure. I am pleased to advise that this has been found and checked by the housekeeper to make sure there are no issues for guests staying at Ocean View in the future.

• "No Wi-Fi hence no e of the associated services depending on Wi-Fi."

  The issue was already known by the previous person staying as written in the guest log book from the week before where they had taken same steps as us and got the same reply. Which suggests that this was a known issue prior to our stay. Nobody informed us prior to the stay that there would not be any internet connection and it did affect our ability to work substantially. We were not offered any form of compensation or a work around despite our having raised it early on. Otherwise great views and lovely flat!

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the great views! and thought the flat was lovely. We understand your frustration with the WIFI problems and apologise for any inconvenience experienced, this issue was with the service provider and has now been fixed. We do hope you will visit again soon. Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "The DVD player, Ipod dock and outdoor seat cushions were not there."

  These are listed on the website and in the apartment's instructions. We brought a number of DVD's to watch, but couldn't. There were no instructions that we could find for the appliances or central heating. We couldn't get the under cupboard lights to work in the kitchen. The shower in the bathroom continues to run when the bath is being filled. The lights in the en-suite are inadequate. and the shower door does not close fully. The bin store door lock is difficult to open (This was reported at the time but nothing happened). There was no local information: Train times, local amenities, restaurants etc.

  Dear John, Thank you very much for your feedback. The instructions for the central heating system and appliances are located in the “Quick Start Guide” in the property, we will ensure that this is put out in a clear place in the future. The DVD is utilized through the Wii mode which you can select using the “source” button, and we will check on the next change over to make sure the other items are still present and speak with the owner’s if they are no longer present to update the description. I have highlighted the under cupboard lights in the kitchen; the shower which continually runs when the bath is filled and the shower door that does not fully close to the owner as we can action these repair so thank you for bringing these to our attention. The bin store key and lock may need some WD40 so we will see if this is the issue. Unfortunately, we removed lots of brochures etc from the property as we are trying to reduce contact following Covid-19. Please feel free to contact the local office on 01736 630015 option 2 if you need any advice on restaurants or so forth. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

• "The apartment was very comfortable with good facilities ."

  The cleaning was not of a good standard there was dust and hairs on a lot of surfaces the shower wasn't very clean. We spoke to the man who was cleaning the apartment and he told us he had 16 apartments to clean that day which would explain why it wasn't very clean. I felt like the money we paid for the apartment would have included an amount for the cleaning of the apartment and so we paid for something that didn't happen. We have always previously used Aspects holidays and never had a problem with the apartment being dirty this was our first time with Carbis holidays and was a little disappointed

• "We have just returned from a fantastic week in Ocean View."

  The apartment is beautiful and so well equipped, it has an enormous lounge and the views are outstanding. Carbis Bay Holidays are always our first port of call when visiting Cornwall, they have superb properties and high standards when it comes to cleanliness etc. We have already booked one of their properties for next year and are considering another for later this year.

• ""We had a very enjoyable stay at Ocean View."

  The apartment was first class with great facilities and we ended up spending most evenings in making the most of these. It was incredibly clean and was wonderfully presented which made the stay even more enjoyable. We went on a view nice walks along the coast at the main beaches which you will already know about like Perranporth etc. We also visited St Michaels Mount which was very nice. We ate at The Balcony in St Ives which was a very nice place to eat both during the day and evening." S. Horne

• ""We had a lovely stay at Ocean View."

  The apartment didn’t disappointment and lived up to our expections! The interior was of a very high specification and it was warm and comfortable. It was also very clean and well equipped. Julie was there to welcome us, which immediately made us feel at home and the cream tea was a nice surprise. The apartment was also very quiet. The views were spectacular and the position of the property was perfect for the train to St Ives and also the local shops. My boys are aged 10 and 8 and they particularly enjoyed the Eden Project. Also they went go-karting which is only a five minute drive from the apartment. We all enjoyed the Badger Inn which was family friendly and good value. The local fish and chips were also very good."

• ""The apartment is wonderfully appointed with all the luxuries required needed to make our stay comfortable."

  I am sure you have heard it many times before but the biggest factors, the fantastic view of the St Ives headland, the space in the apartment and the great fittings make this an excellent place! The kitchen holds all the utensils and appliances necessary to cater for oneself and the apartment’s security and quite peace sets it apart. We had a fantastic meal at 15 on Watergate Bay and also a great lunch on the terrace at the Porthmeor Hotel now called St Ives Harbour Hotel. Both are highly recommended. In addition I would direct guest to the Porthminster Gallery down at Westcott Quay. Some truly wonderful art/sculpture pieces which we ended up investing in!" D. Aggar

• ""Ocean View is exactly as expected i."

  E. a high standard of cleanliness, very good facilities, regarding a nice eating place I have always enjoyed 'Peppers' in the Centre of St. Ives. We took Coastal Path walks initially from Carbis Bay to St.Ives then two days later from Carbis bay to Hayle and back.The Train Branch Line connections are usually every hour stopping at Carbis Bay but most stations are visited on the half hour. Its very reasonable i.e. a £1 per person each way, the last train back on a Saturday from St.Ives is 10:05pm." L. O'Connor

• ""Ocean View is an excellent property with fantastic views over St Ives and Carbis Bay."

  The apartment is of an exceptionally high standard with fixtures and fittings of a very high quality iindeed. The location was great with the little railway line to St Ives, the beach and the south west coast peninsular path all within a few minutes. We didn't really bother to use the car during our week as we prefer a central location with good walks from the door and public transport nearby. We also enjoyed the luxury of the flat, the views, the lovely sofas and all the comforts of home - and more! We loved the games compendium and that helped on wet days. We did the coastal walk to Lelant then were lucky enough to be just in time (after a good pub lunch at the Badger) to catch the open top bus back to St Ives and then finish our circular walk back to Carbis Bay.We had a memorable evening at the Porthminster Cafe."
