Great location with lovely sea views
Decent space for a family to holiday. We mainly self catered. A little restricted on cooking utensils but otherwise the kitchen was well equiped, clean and modern. Comfy sofas and beds and clean, modern bathrooms. Tesco just up the road - very convenient. Beach a 10 minute walk away - perfect. St Ives 35 minute walk. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. enjoyed .

Views to die for
I stayed here with my husband, mother and sister (poor hubby 😂). What a beautiful house we loved it the views were amazing and it was so peaceful, We all had a room each lovely and comfy beds and a bonus of a smaller room which we used for doing our hair. The kitchen is beautiful everything you could ever need, the bathrooms were lovely too and a amazing comfortable spacious living room. We had taxis to St. Ives which varied from £6-8 it was cheaper than getting the bus. Tesco is a easy walk away and you have a pub a bit further down. Would love to stay here again hopefully soon and thank you Harry.

Lovely Carbis Bay
We had a lovely time at Michel. The weather was not great, at best, but we could retreat to the living room with a view and watch the ocean and the cloud formations change. Great to be able to walk to a Tesco and to The Bean Inn - very pleasant place to eat especially for my husband who is vegan. The mattress in the main bedroom upstairs (also with a view) probably needs to be replaced. We needed to turn the heating and hot water on twothree times a day because it only stayed on for max 3 hours at a time. Kitchen and bathrooms were well set up. Was great to be able to walk downhill into St Ives and to get the bus back.
