We loved everything about the property. It was like living in a show apartment. It had everything we needed plus spectacular views. As we are in our 70s the extremely steep hills were challenging but we managed to get up and down them slowly.
A well appointed property ideal for a couple to getaway and relax. A short walk to Carbis bay train station (approx ÂŁ2 return to St Ives) and pleasant walks on the costal paths (boots req) all in all an excellent location to explore this area of Cornwall.
Our stay at Carbis Bay was exceptional. We picked a lovely week. Beautiful sunshine.
The apartment was modern clean and stylish.
Would highly recommend.
Would definitely go again
Lovely modern well presented property, in quiet location ideal for Carbis bay beach or a stroll into St.Ives.
Great views from the balcony across the gardens to the bay. Although the train line is close by this did not bother us at all.
We would very much like to return again and would recommend the property.
This apartment is lovely, everything you need, impeccably clean and so relaxing taking in the fabulous views of Carbis Bay
We were a bit daunted by the steep drive but none of us had any problems
The walk to the beach and train is short and a bit steep for the unfit like me!! But the train is so handy for St Ives or Penzance
The flat was clean efficient and comfortable. Very convenient for Carbis Bay beach and a good quick train line to St Ives. Beware the hill if your are elderly but manageable ..
Beautiful apartment with lovely views. Very comfortable and fully equipped with everything you would need. Great access to beach, although Steep hill back up. Would definitely return.
The property was exactly as described and was well equipped with everything you would need. The weather wasnât great but the views from the sofa brightened the day. We loved having a beach close by and the walk is nice if itâs not raining. The apartment was spotless and we couldnât find fault with anything. We had a great time and even managed to get out on a boat trip to see the seals.
After a tiring day there was nothing better than going to bed and listening to the sound of the waves.
Hope to return soon. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
Lowena was the perfect gateway for us . We enjoyed the proximity to public transport, the short walk to Carbis beach ( we donât mind hills) and relaxing stroll into St Ives. There is a large Tesco up the hill for kitchen basics( nothing provided in the flat) . Beautiful outlook , comfortable and quiet flat .
Very quiet and relaxing area. 5 Minutes to the beach with restaurants and bars but even in summer not too busy. Rent outs for watersports. Next supermarket is about 10 Minutes to walk, so is the station and the Busstop. Easier with a car but ok. Apartment is well equiped although there is no salt or oil, like basics to cook. They organised my a hairdrayer as theirs has disappeard. Would book again.
Generally very good, we had few minor issues.
One of us found the 'severe' drive more frightening than severe.
There are too many lights visible from the bedroom at night if you like a dark bedroom.
The shower was not up to the standard of the rest of the apartment.
Overall we enjoyed our weeks' stay in December, it's a short walk to St Ives. A regular train is also available with the station a few minutes walk away.
We would consider staying again, the apartment was warm , cosy and well appointed.
The premises were spotlessly clean as were all appliances and facilities. The interior design and decor were modern, visually matching and most comfortable. All you could need was provided.
The views over the bay are simply stunning with seals frequently being seen near the beach.
As with most locations in Carbis Bay the premises are located on a hill. Walking anywhere means steep uphill or downhill routes. The driveway to the property was the steepest I have ever driven on and could benefit from a roadside mirror part way up the hill as the drive way is not wide and does have a bend in it. The allocated parking bay is in a corner and is very tight to access/exit. The situation was eased by one of the other visitors kindly adjusting his parking position so as to ease our access/exit. There is a private footpath leading down to the beach and restaurants, the railway station and the coastal path leading to St Ives in one direction or Lelant and Hayle in the other.
The train service to St Ives costs ÂŁ1 each way.
There are frequent buses along the main St Ives road
The owner and agent were easy to communicate with, both having obvious helpful personalities.
I would have wished that the times of premises entry/departure could be flexable, a 6pm entry is too late and a 9am departure is too early.
We enjoyed a wonderful week.
This property is 10 out of 10. Very well presented. Clean and bright. Perfectly well equipped with all that was required for a weeks holiday. Perfectly situated, we only went out in the car once. Public transport (trains and buses) only a 5 minute walk away. Will recommend to friends and family. Would easily return. Itâs a little gem.
Truly wonderful place. Views from Lounge were amazing and you could hear the sea at night in bed and see the sun rise. The apartment was just beautiful.aap
We stayed here for a week. The apartment was clean and well equipped. The area is quiet, with easy access to the gorgeous Carbis Bay. There are coastal walks and great transport links - we barely used the car!
I would highly recommend staying here - we'll be back at some point!
Die Wohnung war wie im Inserat beschrieben. Alles wichtige ist vorhanden. Ruhige Lage nicht weit vom Strand entfernt. Wir wĂŒrden die Wohnung gerne weiterempfehlen.
Schöne renovierte Wohnung mit traumhaftem Ausblick
WĂŒrden die Wohnung wieder buchen. Neu renoviertes Bad, super ausgestattete KĂŒche, sehr sauber. Toller Ausblick.
Den Zug hört man etwas, er fÀhrt aber nachts nicht und somit hat es uns nicht gestört.
Es geht einen kurzen steilen Hang zum Parkplatz runter. Man ist in 5 min zu Fuà an einem wunderschönen Strand.
Die Unterkunft hat eine einmalige ruhige Lage mit tollem Ausblick .Supermarkt und Strand sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen ,wenn man Berge nicht scheut, St. Ives kann man auch gut mit der Bahn (eine Station) oder mit einem lĂ€ngeren Spaziergang, erreichen, so hat mein keine Parkplatzprobleme. Die Wohnung ist sehr gepflegt, mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht einfach wunderbar wir waren total begeistert und wĂŒrden immer gerne wieder kommen. Eine der besten UnterkĂŒnfte die wir je hatten.
