  The apartment provides everything that’s needed for a very comfortable stay and its contents are high quality. It’s spotlessly clean, the beds are comfortable and it helps that basics are provided. It’s in a fabulous location with stunning views over Carbis Bay and St Ives. We will definitely be back, hopefully next year! Thank you for a wonderful week!

  Thank you for your kind review, we are so glad to hear you had such an enjoyable holiday. We hope you will stay with us again in the future. For any queries please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  Only 2 minor quibbles. 1. A larger saucepan would have been useful for cooking things like pasta ...was hard to cook sufficient with the 4 relatively small pans for a family of four. 2 Ground Coffee for the coffee machines would have been appreciated

  Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback and will certainly take a look into each of your concerns. - Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Note: a large lidded saucepan has been added to the kitchen inventory. Property Owner

  The apartment was larger than we expected. The furnishings and equipment are all great quality. Bed was comfortable and lovely large, thick towels were provided.

• "This was our fourth holiday in 1 and Only and we had a wonderful time."

  The property was clean, well appointed and comfortable. The beautiful view across the bay to St Ives meant that we frequently found ourselves looking out through the large windows. The only minor issue was that the light outside the front door seemed to be faulty and flashed intermittently during the night.

• "Beautiful property with superb views."

  Tastefully furnished. Fully equipped for any holiday requirement. Outside furniture a bit dated and dirty, but the owners arrived with new patio furniture as we were leaving after our holiday. Parking a little cramped, but great to have any on-site parking. Challenging for those less able to access the beautiful Carbis Bay Beach due to significant slopes. Little beachside parking available. Other beaches available with proximate parking. Would highly recommend the property. Great to visit St. Ives by train from the nearby station.

• "Patio not suitable for people to use, at the moment."

  This apartment is conveniently located, its furniture, Sky TV, kitchen equipment and bedrooms make for an excellent stay. Nice gifts of chocolates, biscuits and champagne. However, once again the patio area was totally unusable due to it being extremely dirty and slippery when wet. It needs to be immediately cleaned, and kept clean, for the use of visitors!!!! We have stayed at this particular apartment many times, but I am afraid we will now be looking for another place to stay, in Carbis Bay. Such a shame!!!

  Thank you for your review. The patio is jetwashed several times a year and weed killed. However if the weather is particularly wet this may make the slabs slippery. As a regular visitor to 1& Only you must be aware that we always take on board your comments and have acted on them. We are sorry you wont return as we take great pride in our apartment and we visit regularly to check all is ok. We trust you find another apartment with a similar ethos to us. The owners.

  The provision of both milk and champagne is a nice touch. It is well furnished and always extremely clean and well prepared inside. However, the outside patio is very dirty and extremely slippy when wet. As a disabled person I have to use walking sticks and I was unable to access the patio during our stay.

• "A lovely flat in a lovely location and very comfortable."

  Just a few very minor maintenance issues. The main issue was that one of the sinks in the ensuite didn’t drain properly. Not a big issue as we could both share the other sink. Other small issues included the kitchen bin which was very temperamental and there were no 3D glasses for the TV as per the listing. These issues were reported to Carbis Bay Holidays following the instructions in the flat but there was no response. Would definitely go back.

  Thank you for your kind review of 1&Only. There has not been any 3D content broadcast on Sky for many years (2015) so the 3D glasses were removed. The quick start guide has removed all mention of 3D. I’m sure Carbis Bay Holidays will respond to the sink issues. The TV is not a 3D tv and was put in this year (july 2023) so the 3D glasses are no use to any one. Once again we hope to welcome you back and thank you for your lovely review.

  Clean, modern and well equipped. We had an issue with a light in one of the bedrooms, contacted Carbis Bay people and had two visits within an hour and issue resolved. If we had any issue it was having to strip the beds and vacate premises by 10 am. Except for this no complaints. Excellent and we will be returning.

  Thank you for leaving your feedback, its much appreciated. We are pleased to hear you thought the accommodation was excellent. We are happy we were able to resolve the light issue for you. With regards to the 10am check out this is to ensure the housekeeping team will have enough time to turn the property around for the next guests, we can also confirm you are not required to strip the beds when departing the housekeeping team will do this for you.

• "Good points."

  This apartment is very well appointed, practically furnished and is an excellent location for a memorable holiday. We have stayed in the apartment for several years and it is always prepared to the highest standards by the Housekeeper. At the end of each week they completed a perfect bed linen change, and she is always more than willing to provide good information about local restaurants, supermarkets and places to visit. We will return in both June and September 2022. Points of Concern. Once again the fridge was always wet inside and required to be mopped out, twice every day. The temperature in the fridge is not as cold as it could be. The sink in the shower room only slowly drains and it needs some attention. The kettle clicks off sometimes before it boils and there are quite a few bulb outages. I suggest that since the rental costs are high that either the Owners, or Sykes Holidays Maintenance Team, look at these issues immediately to provide better value.

  Many thanks for your kind feedback. As owners we take great pride in our apartment but have to rely on others inbetween our own frequent maintenance checks. We have noted all your comments. Property Owner

• ""We had a great stay at 1 and Only."

  We have stayed at Carbis bay several times before and this was the best accommodation so far. The property was very clean and extremely well fitted with all mod cons and equipment. The housekeeper(Hayley) was very friendly and efficient and the little extras (cream scones, choc buttons and prosecco) were very welcome. Thanks again." Malcolm

• ""We had a lovely few days, weather was great, apartment was luxurious!"

  You didn't want for anything and the views in the morning are amazing with a cup of coffee! The train from Carbis Bay to St Ives was lovely and our little boy loved it. Will hopefully back again soon for a mini break! Thank you once again!" Gregg, Kelly and Mason

• ""Can’t fault the property at all."

  Spotlessly clean, cosy and warm. Top quality fittings. Would definitely recommend to everyone. We ate out several times and would certainly recommend Cafe Pasta in St Ives Harbour for a fantastic steak meal. We have booked with you before and will certainly use you again Lovely mid winter break thank you." Margaret Bradbury

• ""We travelled from London to 1 & Only for a long weekend, it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish."

  On arrival after a long journey we were met by the lovely Hayley who took us through everything and made us feel right at home straight away. The apartment was beautiful; so cosy, the view stunning, it had everything that we could have asked for and more. Location was perfect, only a short train ride took us into the delightful St. Ives, where there are extensive choice of locally owned restaurants and cafes, where we had lovely meals (recommend Madeleines for a crab sandwich and a pot of tea!) We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back soon." Jenni & Zac

• ""Coffee always tastes better with a fabulous view!"

  " "We had a wonderful long weekend at 1 & Only. The mornings were so relaxing with a beautiful view from bed and from the sofas. 1 & Only is the perfect location for quiet enjoyment, and yet only 5 minutes walk to the train station meant we were in the lively St. Ives quickly and easily. 1 & Only had two different beaches that were both beautiful and accessible and maybe a 10 min walk to get to them. It was wonderful apartment – it had everything we needed and so much more! We will definitely come back to stay again." S & R Moss
