COVID-19 Owners statement.


Your families Ideal location for the 2020’s. In a private road and a secluded setting with its own front door just far enough away from the bustle of St ives and yet within easy reach if you desire. Overlooking Carbis Bay with the facilities of the Carbis Bay Hotel a 10 minute walk away. In the other direction can be found the Tregenna Castle hotel with its golf course which is also a 10 minute walk.
Go to bed with the doors open and you will fall asleep to the sound of the sea; step out onto the covered balcony and be instantly connected with the coast line and beach. You may even spot dolphins in the Bay. Have breakfast outside under cover in the early morning sun and plan whether to go out or simply stay where you are. The view is stunning. This Light Filled apartment is on the first floor of an Edwardian Country House which was built for the St Ives School of Artists. There are 2 bathrooms (one en-suite), with a large, high ceilinged Bedroom with Sea views and a door to the Balcony. The Main living room is double aspect with French Windows also leading onto the balcony. The kitchen/diner has a range cooker, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dish washer. The property is set in a Sub Tropical Garden It is accessed via 2 sets of steps down from the lane outside. It is suitable for couples of all ages and those with children, however, children should be supervised on the balcony. There are 7 other properties in the building, some of which are private residencies and not rented out. The house is situated in Treloyhan which is the most exclusive area of St Ives. In springtime the scent of wild garlic is wonderful. The house is ideally situated 100 metres from the South West Coast Path. The whole area is a haven for wildlife which includes Owls, Buzzards, Green Woodpecker and a myriad of smaller birds. Foxes and Badgers may be glimpsed. Specimen trees are in abundance in the area. The best way to enjoy all of this is by walking. The pedestrian pathway leads through the Gardens on the Seaward side of the house down a pathway lined with ancient moss covered granite walls to Haines Walk . Then you must decide whether to turn right to Carbis Bay where you can enjoy the facilities of the Carbis Bay Hotel, the beach with its water sports and marvellous walks or turn left towards St Ives itself. The location is perfect. Another option is to walk to the Tregenna Castle Hotel where you can be enjoying a round of golf within 10 minutes with probably the best view of St Ives from the 12th Fairway! Tescos is also a 10 minute walk as is our local the Cornish Arms. This is genuinely a special place. This apartment is also perfect to explore the Poldark series locations.

Delightful cottage with stunning views of Carbis Bay and the property’s own beautiful gardens. Step onto the coastal path from the garden access and walk to the beach in ten. Excellent amenities with super eat in kitchen, laundry, spacious living room and pretty bedrooms. We enjoyed many meals on the balcony, listening to the breaking ocean waves. Wifi and quick walking access to Tesco. Take the footpath to St Ives and beyond along the stunning coastal path.No car needed to enjoy this property (we walked from Carbis rail), however parking is available anyway.

A superb base for our week discovering West Cornwall. The views from the apartement are outstanding, even better than the photos suggest, and the covered terrace is a great place to relax and soak in the view. The living room and spacious light-filled master bedroom are both nice, second bedroom is really small. Well-equipped throughout, particularly the kitchen, with a range cooker, and all the pots and pans necessary for cooking (note there are no restaurants in easy walking distance). All equipment is modern and in good working order, better than usually found in rental accomodation these days. Shame there was not a better coffee making machine.Only real negative is the size of the beds, both the singles and the small double seemed undersized. Otherwise, no complaints.

Relaxing week

A quiet, relaxing place to stay with a fabulous view over Carbis Bay. Be prepared for the challenging up and downs of the paths at first… however after a few days it was a real pleasure to walk into St Ives and back and Carbis Bay and back. Would stay again.

Lovely stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The view was stunning ... we were sad to leave and are still missing that view and being able to hear the lovely sounds of the sea ... very relaxing. My only criticism is that the bed in the main bedroom could be a bit bigger (it's only standard size) and more comfortable, although it may of course suit other people.

Stepping Back in Time with Outstanding Views

We stayed for a week at this Edwardian flat situated high above Carbis Bay and near the coastal path. We woke up to coastal views from the master bedroom and I often had my coffee looking out to the sea. The property has a nice balcony with grand views up the coastline. If you like historical properties you'll like this place. The kitchen is well equipped and the listing description is accurrate. I would highly recommend this place.

Perfect to unwind

We had a wonderful week staying in this apartment. A great location for exploring this corner of Cornwall and easy access to St Ives, without the challenge of finding somewhere to park! The views were unbeatable ! We loved having breakfast on the balcony or sitting in the garden, watching the waves rolling in. SO very relaxing :) The flat itself has everything you need and very spacious. Very well equipped and with Tesco just up the road, self catering is very easy. Big thanks to Susie who was very helpful and brilliant at replying to messages/ questions we had. That was much appreciated. We would love to return here and would recommend 100%!

A spacious , light apartment with fabulous views .

We were greeted by Jill who was friendly and very helpful . The apartment was homely and spacious .We were also greeted with vases of flowers and a bottle of wine . Views from the bedroom and verandah were stunning . Access to the coastal path directly from the garden was ideal . We enjoyed lots of fabulous walks into St Ives and beyond . Our only criticism was the allocated parking space , it was not always free and turning a larger car in such a congested area was tricky .

Carbis Bay Wonder Views

We had the most amazing week in Carbis Bay, made all the better by a week of blue skies and hot (for May) sun. The apartment is in a great location with clear views over Carbis Bay and out towards Godrevy Lighthouse. It was clean and tidy when we arrived with a well stocked kitchen which felt more akin to a second home being rented out than a commercial rental property. Due to its location above the western end of Carbis Bay, it was a downhill walk via the Southwest Coastal Path (although paved, it is steep in places) to either St Ives (for a mooch around the shops or popping into a restaurant or two) or Carbis Bay Beach for a day messing around in the sea.

About the host

Hosted by Susie

Host profile image
We love this area and property and were visiting regularly but we now have grandchildren and busy lives so able to let the apartment for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Our first sightings of the coast line here were of huge areas of golden beaches glimpsed through the trees as we wondered down to the sea shore. The tide was out and we instantly fell in love with the scenery.

What makes this property unique

Glorious golden sandy beaches, lots of trees, clean air and friendly people. Supermarket less than 5 minutes and close to the sea-side town of St Ives and yet we enjoy total tranquillity and stunning sea- views. 100 metres stroll through the sub-tropical gardens down to the West Coast Path. You can sit out in all weathers under the cover of the balcony gazing out onto the Bay and at the unspoilt coastline. Numerous cafés and restaurants nearby in Carbis Bay or. St Ives. Endless places to visit with the South coast and nearby rivers for day trips.
To quote from a guests review "Spent a great week here with a very warm welcome and special welcoming touches that made us feel very at home. The views really are incredible and we didn’t want to leave. We hope we can come back soon. A great place to explore with lovely coastal walks on your doorstep. A little slice of heaven."
