  • "Lovely apartment, great position and views."

    Well equipped... Couple of things that would have been good to know ... Parking space is very tight for a larger car, between the angle, low wall and tap it was too tight for my car ( didn't risk it ) - a VW Touareg. Luckily as it was out of season, i managed to park on the road outside Karenza court. I'm coming back in July with my daughter in law - we'll come in her car !! Wish i'd known the hot water is on the immersion, not on a timer. After first tepid shower i investigated and realised situation. Would have been nice to know !! I was travelling alone this time, so only affected me. Wouldn't have been good if there were more of us.

Where you’ll be staying

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles.

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
