Carbis Bay :: Compass Point :: Golva
Taking its name from the Cornish word for ‘lookout', guests won't be surprised that the coastal views from Golva span eastwards from St. Ives and westwards to Godrevy Lighthouse. Many an hour can be whiled away watching boats pass by on the glistening waters using the telescope provided. This superb attention to detail makes this first floor apartment a fabulous home from home for those seeking a Cornish getaway.

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.
