Carbis Bay Holidays :: About Us

We are one of the largest letting agents in the St Ives area of Cornwall, members of Cornwall Tourist Board, South West Tourism and 100% quality assured with Visit Britain.
We fell in love with Carbis Bay, St Ives, Lelant and West Cornwall through our early family holidays and it has been a love affair ever since. So, feeling passionate as we do about this area, we knew that other people would love it too!
You only need to see the glorious sandy beaches, the bright blue seas and experience all the different aspects of St Ives for yourself, and we guarantee you'll be as hooked as we are.
Today, we are a family run agency who pride ourselves on our personal and professional approach. We believe that we understand what is important to you when considering holiday accommodation, it is these things that we place the closest attention to. We want to share with you all that West Cornwall has to offer, and more, to ensure your holiday is the carefree break you deserve.

"Booking with Carbis Bay Holidays was so easy and all communications were dealt with speed and satisfaction, we wouldnt hesitate to use you again and recommend you to our friends.

"The apartment, location and overall service was superb. The standard and quality of the apartment was first class, extremely well fitted out with everything from Wifi internet, flat screen SKY TV's, to a PS2. The apartment was well prepared for our arrival and handed over to us professionally. The whole administration piece of reservation, confirmation of booking and payment was easy and friendly. "
J. McGarrigan
"We had an amazing time, my son described the week as “the best holiday ever”. The place itself was spotless, and had everything you could ever need, even down to the buckets and spades. The welcome “manual” was great too. Booking with Carbis Bay holidays was so simple and straightforward. The website is so clear and its really easy to search for properties. We were met by the housekeeper on the day, a few minutes after we had arrived so that we were on the beach within half an hour. We loved Carbis bay so much that we have already booked a week in the summer, and who knows after that, it could be our holiday destination for a long time."

"Your 'Welcome Home' email was the final piece in the excellent serivice we have received from you. Our apartment, far exceeded our expectations in terms of furnishings, equipment, cleanliness. The fact that the station was so close was a real bonus, particularly in the evenings so we didn't have to take the car into St. Ives. We enjoyed many walks into St. Ives along the coastal path and also to Lelant and the option of returning by train if need be was great ! We have already recommended Carbis Bay Holidays to friends and would definitely have no hesitation in booking with you again. "

"Thank you to you and your team, we had a wonderful holiday. The four of us enjoyed every minute of everyday thanks to the professional service and excellent accommodation. Our expectations are very high, however, Carbis Bay Holidays managed to exceed those expectations in every way passible from booking, arriving, the Apartment layout and facilities as well as the cleanliness which was second to none. The location is terrific. It has been 12 years since we last visited St Ives. Thanks to you we will not be leaving it so long next time. Once again our sincere thanks to you and your team at Carbis Bay Holidays."
G. Billingon

"As usual the administration/organisation from Carbis Bay Holidays was excellent - one of the reasons we keep coming back to you...The facilities offered and the cleanliness is always beyond our expectations."
S. Butterfield
"Just to let you know that everything about the holiday was perfect,in fact the best holiday in this country that we've ever had. I had stayed in Carbis Bay a couple of times before and knew of it's beauty but staying in that lovely property with it's stunning views was the icing on the cake. Booking on the internet was so easy and the one telephone call I made to you was very friendly and welcoming. There was no hold up in getting in the property and the housekeeper who greeted us was warm and helpful. Have every intention of booking with Carbis Bay Holidays again soon."
M.Tomkins
"I’m pleased to say that we had a great holiday in Carbis Bay and the apartment exceeded our expectations. As you know we have been staying with Carbis Bay Holidays for a number of years so to say that the apartment exceeded our expectations is high praise indeed! I must say it’s good to see that Carbis Bay Holidays have managed to maintain their high standards over the years despite the growth of the operation."
J. Adams.
"First and foremost I would like to say that the apartment and our holiday were fantastic, and that secondly I have found (after 16 visits to St Ives in 11 years) the absolute perfect location for all future visits! Also as a business owner myself I think your website, descriptions, details, information, presentation, responses, service and execution of business are fantastic."
