Overview

With its world class Blue Flag beach, fantastic restaurants and proximity to St Ives, it’s no wonder holidays in Carbis Bay are something rather special. White sands, subtropical surroundings and safe swimming make it a perfect place for holidays.

Set on a quiet street on the outskirts of town, this spacious bungalow is perfectly suited to family getaways on the north Cornish coast,. Three double bedrooms provide ample space for 6 guests with one of the rooms being self-contained with its own bathroom and entrance (ideal for guests who like a bit more privacy). A large sitting room and bright conservatory mean there’s plenty of room for all to unwind in with attractive furnishings creating a welcoming atmosphere. The established private garden to the back of the house is just the place for relaxation and guests will be able to enjoy outdoor dining or entertaining in the sunshine. With its range of appliances, cookware and utensils, whisking up freshly prepared meals in the home’s big kitchen is a breeze, and guests can gather around the dining table for mealtimes together before challenging each other to a game of cards or a board game.

Being so closely positioned to the towns of Hayle and St Ives means there’s plenty to see and do in the area, with the beauty being that both can be reached either on foot or via a short train trip on the scenic St Erth line. The town’s award-winning C Spa with its wonderful pool, incredible sea views and on-site facilities is open to the public, so for visitors looking to treat themselves to a touch of indulgence there’s no better place for it.

3.8/5

Perfect location and walking distance to Carbis Bay and short drive to St Ives. Overall house was nice. Layout was good and lots of space. Kitchen was fully equipped but no tea, coffee or sugar provided. We’ve stayed at several luxury coastal holidays over the years but this one lacked the luxury part. The TVs are outdated and weren’t SMART TVs. So it made chilling in the evening mundane with just terrestrial channels to watch. We wouldn’t normally complain but if you’re looking for something luxury this needs a little work before that’s possible.

Hi Charlie, Thank you for sharing your detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location and the spacious layout of the house. However, we are sorry to learn that certain aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. Two of the TVs in the property are Smart TVs and the owner has advised an Amazon Fire Stick will be added to the others so guests can access things such as Netflix. Since your visit, we have welcomed a new housekeeping team who are dedicated to ensuring that all the points you mentioned are thoroughly addressed. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal team
