• "We went to this lovely property with daughter and family for a week."

  The open living space and kitchen area really make the place amazing because when you cook, you can still be enjoying the family fun. The real garden with trees and lots of beatiful plants and grass was wonderful compared to modern day, easy maintainence concrete spaces. Spernenwyn absolutely had everything we needed to really enjoy a great break in beautiful Cornwall. If you want me to be picky, then I’d say thicker quilts on the beds for September bookings, and sort both sets of taps in the kitchen, as one doesn’t work and the other one splashes enough to need a bath mat on the worktop and floor. The living room is really comfy which you need after a busy day. The light switches are all labelled - very thougtful. I did the cooking and loved the kitchen area with all the space. We are booking next year as soon as we sort out parking for a third car for our other daughter to join us. Thank you for a great stay from Elaine, Aurel, Elena, Simon, Selena and Matteo

• "I wish we had found your property sooner!"

  . It truly is home from home. We were so impressed with how much thought had gone into the comforts and requirements of holidaymakers. Even fine details such as the books, games, toiletries, hot tub, welcome pack ....... beautifully decorated home and well kept gardens. Honestly it was exceptional. Each one of us said straight away that we would definitely return to this property again. Thankyou. PS. Whoever did the cleaning deserves a special mention!!

  Thank you for your feedback we are glad to see that you had a good holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm regards, Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner

• "Overall we had a lovely stay at this property and there were many wonderful features."

  The space, the storage, parking, hot tub, all contributed to our ability to relax and enjoy ourselves. We slept well, and the beds were as described, zip-link, so that wasn’t the shock to us as it seemed to be for others. Bathrooms and towels were lovely and there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. The kitchen was well equipped and can’t be improved, the fridge freezer was excellent. However, there are some negatives and whilst we don’t want to overly criticise, some comments are necessary. Our first impression was spoiled as we walked into the garden to be met with overgrown “grass” which was just a collection of long weeds. It looked so scruffy and we were disappointed. No one came during our stay to cut this, so I’m not sure what the arrangements are. It shouldn’t be something that a guest should have to feed back - grass grows, so you need a regular gardener. Indoors the property looked great at first glance and on the surface but the place is starting to look scruffy and not well cared for. I doubt the king size bed downstairs has been moved in months to be cleaned under, as it was dreadful. We always check whether anything has rolled under the bed before we leave and were horrified by the debris and thick dust that had clearly built up over time. The bed is on a hard floor so is easily movable. We booked a couple of months before the date of travel and therefore the price we paid was lower than usual, so we still feel that we had fair value for money when we take into account the cost of running the hot tub etc. However, looking ahead at the normal weekly cost, it can’t be justified for us, as this property needs some attention if it is to compete with other similar sized properties with the same facilities that we have also stayed in.

  Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We shall look into the points you have raised for future improvements. Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "Lovely house in a fab location!"

  We were a family of 5 (2 parents, 2 children and a grandparent). The house was suitable for all. Lots of space and the open plan worked better than I expected -we have family nearby and they were able to visit us. Lots of films and games which we took advantage of due to back to back storms meaning we didn't get out as much as we had planned. The sofas are soft for relaxing in the living area, but firmer in the conservatory if preferred, and the large dining table is great to seat everyone around. The kitchen has everything you'd need and more. The tea, coffee and milk provided on arrival were much appreciated! The bathrooms were clean and had mini soaps etc. Showers good and bath amazing! The beds are all zip up which is in the description, so you do feel the join in the doubles. We all slept OK though. Hot tub was a hit and used most days. The garden and parking are great features to the property as I'm informed there aren't many of either in the area. At most a 10 minute walk to Porthmear beach one way or the town centre the other direction (a bit longer coming back up the hills!) We are certainly considering returning. A couple of tips if you do come here - follow signs to Tate St Ives from the A30 (it avoids the town center); book evening meals in advance; go to the surf school; visit St Ives bakery; walk around all the seafront and Harbour. Enjoy this wonderful part of the country! Spernenwyn has everything you could need as a home from home. The only things we missed were oven gloves and a bottle brush to clean our reusable water bottles. One thing to note is if you have younger children all the external doors (5 around the property) can be opened from the inside.

  Thank you for you feedback we are pleased that you had a lovely time. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

• "It was a lovely stay a nice break away but unfortunately the beds were really uncomfortable and there isn’t a decent double bed there all single beds joined together, the sofa was uncomfortable, the place is cold, the tap in middle of kitchen doesn’t work, cobwebs everywhere, no proper security on the gates as anyone just could go in garden, definitely won’t be staying there again as it was a massive disappointment."

  Definitely not worth the money.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback after your stay. We are disappointed to hear you found the beds and sofa uncomfortable, but would like to assure you this has been passed onto the owner for their consideration. Spernenwyn is located on a quiet residential road in St Ives, therefore garden security has never been a concerning factor. Thank you once again for leaving feedback. Property Owner

• "Super house in a great location."

  The garden must be delighful in the summer. Parking for 2 cars is pretty tight, but doable. Look forward to visiting again
