  • "The house is beautiful and in a great location."

    The area is beautiful and perfect location for St Ives and Carbis bay. The supermarket around the corner is extremely useful. My parents used the public transport to enter and return from St Ives. Parked one car on the drive and one on the road outside the property. Will definitely return.

    Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see that you had a good holiday. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Everything was perfect but the dryer wasn’t drying clothes and the tv placement in the living room was annoying."

    Wish the bigger tv was in the sofa/living area. Also the lack of accessible hdmi ports to connect external devices was a problem.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. The local office is avaible to help with anything during you stay, they are open 9-5.30 Monday-Saturday and can reached 01736 630015 . We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to St Ives in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Only issue was the hanging facilities in the wardrobe to short for dresses, and I am only 5’2."

    Therefore had to hang clothes outside.

    Thank you for your feedback we shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Immaculate property in walking distance to Carbis Bay beach via steep coastal path."

    We enjoyed our week's stay here and were blessed with sunny weather, would highly recommend it! A few things that would have helped make our stay better: Instructions on how to open the patio doors. Some labels on the switches for the hob and shower, more details as to what is in the property, like hair dryer, tea towels etc as we brought our own as we didn't know these were already there.

  • "Excellent all round."

    Nothing at all missing or requiring improvement. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

  • "We had a fantastic week at Nova cottage, it is exactly as it is in the photos and had everything we needed (except an airer if I’m being picky- there is a washing line but it was raining!"

    ). The beach at Carbis bay is beautiful and the cottage is also about 15-20 mins walk to Porthminster and St Ives. If you don’t want to walk that far there are regular buses there and back too. We will 100% stay again, even my teenage Son didn’t moan about anything - must be good

  • "The property was fantastic and spotless, located on the main st ives road traffic noise not too much of an issue, parking at the property a bit tricky but mastered that,Tescos right on your doorstep and the Cornish Arms pub excellent food 2min walk, patio table and chairs at the property need to be sanded down and painted as we got a couple of splinters from the chairs but won't put us off coming back, finally the bifold doors were open when we got to the property didn't no how to lock them called the property management and it was sorted out straight away, i suggested that there should be some instructions in the itinerary book on how to lock/open them as there's no key."

    We had a fantastic time shame about the weather Regards.

    A lovely home which was absolutely spotless on arrival. Brilliant location and we’d definitely come again!

  • "Lovely house in Carbis bay."

    Excellent location with a short walk into St Ives or down to Carbis bay beach. The house is beautifully decorated and comes with everything needed to have a lovely break away from home. We will definitely return.

  • "Parking space is too near the junction and difficult to see the coming car."

    The kitchen need a suction system for cooking as living room will become oily and smelly.

  • "Positives: An immaculate property well-placed location wise."

    The property was very clean on arrival and check in was easy through communication with sykes holidays. Sea views from upper floors, especially the top floor. Really lovely. Parking space right next to the property makes life easy. Beds were comfy and plenty of towels for each person which we appreciated. Safety lights in corridors helpful for children or elderly people in the night. The kitchen overall was very well stocked with high quality items including pans, glasses etc. The shower didn't drain but we contacted sykes and it was fixed the same day. We cannot complain at the speed they came. They also brought the high chair. Points to consider: The property was down as having a high chair but when we arrived it wasn't there. We arrived too late to do anything on the Saturday as offices were closing and had to wait until Monday when the offices opened. If you desperately need something, perhaps worth calling in advance to check it'll be there. Pleased with how it was manages. The parking space is right next to a busy roundabout. You just have to be really careful and would recommend reversing in. The kitchen and house are lacking some essentials that we felt are important. Might seem small, but there is no peeler or scissors. We were left with no bin bags nor did we have hand soap in the upstairs bathrooms. There were anti bac wipes but no kitchen cleaner. Finally no clothes airer. It rained for most of the week so we couldn't dry clothes easily. When it was sunny, we tried to use the line outside but that was also broken. As I say, small things that didn't limit our enjoyment but just perhaps need a quick look at.

About the location

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.
