Compass Point Apartments Beach Retreat

Lounge Area

The lounge of Beach Retreat is furnished with a large luxurious sofa so that you can just relax and slow down to the pace of Cornwall. A 32inch HDTV with Freeview, DVD and MP3 player, radio and CD player are provided for your entertainment. The entrance to the apartment ensures complete privacy to your Cornish retreat. A romantic retreat for young couples and those with a babies with cot and highchair provided.

The lounge doors open directly on to a sunny patio with table and chairs all ready for you to take breakfast or maybe lunch 'al fresco' after a morning walk on the beach. It is worth getting up early maybe once during your holiday to see the fabulous sight of the sun rising over Godrevy Lighthouse and nearby Porth Kidney Sands.

Dining Area

With the reputation that Carbis Bay and St Ives have for the quality of their restaurants it will be understandable if you choose to dine out whilst on holiday. The dining area of Beach Retreat however offers the same ambience and has a table and chairs for up to 4 people, a romantic and quiet evening meal for two after a hard day on the beach or walking the coastal footpaths of Cornwall. An ideal retreat for a romantic Cornish honeymoon.

If the weather is favourable then of course you may choose to dine on the patio terrace with table and chairs for four, this private and secluded terrace has assorted tropical plants to enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere. The "Welcome Book" in Beach Retreat provides more information on places of interest and the restaurant tips from our previous guests.

Beach Retreat has a kitchen that is fully fitted and equipped with all that you need for days when you want to "eat in".  A microwave and dishwasher are provided in addition to oven and hob and a spacious fridge-freezer. There is also a washing machine/dryer. But be sure to try out some of the many excellent pubs and restaurants in St. Ives and Carbis Bay. Leave the car at Beach Retreat and take the little train that takes you on a scenic coastal ride into St. Ives within a few minutes. This is reputed to be one of the most picturesque rail journeys in England, it's a pity it only lasts 3 minutes from Carbis Bay to St. Ives. The walk is just as enjoyable and takes about 20 minutes and has stunning views across St. Ives Bay.

One of the delights of this apartment is that there is direct access to the patio from both the lounge and the master bedroom, a real Cornish retreat.

Carbis Bay

With its golden sands and turquoise sea, Carbis Bay is recognised as one of the most beautiful bays in the world.  It is often selected as the perfect base for those wanting to relax and get away from it all but have the convenience of being just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of St. Ives.  With its Blue Flag accredited beach, Carbis Bay is a popular choice for a luxury self-catering holiday with many of our special escapes boasting dramatic sea views. The coastal railway links St Ives to Penzance and is perhaps one of the most scenic rail journeys in the UK.  The rail journey from Carbis Bay to St Ives takes about 4 minutes. It also connects to St Erth and Penzance to mainline UK stations including Paddington, London.
