Cornwallis Apartments Celeste

Lounge Area

Celeste has a spacious lounge with a seven-cushion sofa, matching footstool and armchair, 32" High Definition TV, DVD player, CD/MP3 player and a Playstation 2. The luxury sofa and armchair comfortably seat guests together with a toughened glass oval coffee table. There are spectacular views from the lounge out across Carbis Bay to St Ives and in the other direction to Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond - a relaxing chair is provided by the window to enjoy these superb views from your apartment.,

A latest technology High Definition TV together with a comprehensive Sky HD TV package of Sports and Films (but not pay to view or interactive) enable all the latest TV programmes to be viewed in amazing High Definition detail. The same package of channels - albeit in more standard definition - can also be watched in the bedrooms. A "Welcome Book" packed with information about Cornwall, O.S. maps, walks, pub and restaurant guides, as well as a selection of games, books, DVDs and CDs are also provided.

Dining Area

Celeste is furnished in a contemporary style and the spacious Dining Room comfortably seats 4 people, around a Vienna oblong plate glass topped table with four matching suede backed chairs, complete with stunning view out across Carbis Bay to St Ives and in the other direction to Godrevy Lighthouse. Dolphins and seals are often seen! A sideboard provides extra storage space and free wireless internet access is also available.

You are rather spoilt for choice with the number of quality restaurants nearby - alternatively, you can prepare your meal at home and enjoy the comfort of your apartment. On warmer days of course you may choose to pack up a picnic and head for the communal gardens of Cornwallis which are beautifully landscaped and particularly relaxing. A private gate allows access to the South West Coastal Path where you can enjoy the scenic walks to St. Ives or Porthkidney and Lelant.

Celeste has a fully fitted modern kitchen with built-in Bosch cooker, hob, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge and freezer, together with a free-standing toaster, kettle, coffee maker and everything else you would expect from an apartment of this quality, even champagne glasses. The kitchen also contains a circular toughened glass table and four chairs for dining or just to sit at and keep the cook company!!

Should you decide to eat out, there are many excellent restaurants a short walk away in Carbis Bay and plenty of options if you prefer to take-away. Alternatively a 5 minute train ride or taxi into St Ives (or even a 20 minute walk along the cliff path) will allow you to sample the many varied, quality restaurants in town, including 3 in the Good Food Guide - Alba, Porthminster Beach Café and the Pickled Fish.

Bedroom One with En-Suite

Situated at the rear of the Celeste, the carpeted master bedroom has a king size bed with four integrated storage, a large mirror-fronted wardrobe, matching bedside tables, a dressing table and a chest of drawers so you'll have plenty of storage space. Sky TV can also be viewed on a flat screen TV for luxurious in-bed viewing. Anti-allergenic pillows and duvets are provided along with a CD/clock-radio.

The windows are dressed by stylish custom-made New England shutters, which can be adjusted to let in just the desired amount of light. A travel cot and highchair are provided for infants and there is plenty of room in the master bedroom to accommodate the travel cot.

Bedroom Two with En-suite Main Bathroom

The second bedroom of Celeste is fitted with twin beds, built in single wardrobe, chest of drawers, dressing table with mirror and a bedside table complete with clock-radio/CD and lamp. This room also contains a flat screen colour TV with an independent Sky link, so that a different programme can be watched to that in the main lounge/bedroom! Anti-allergenic pillows and duvets are also provided.

The windows are dressed by stylish custom-made New England shutters, which can be adjusted to let in just the desired amount of light. Although not enjoying the views, this quiet room will ensure that you sleep well after those long walks on the beach and cliffs.

Bathroom One

The main bathroom of Celeste is very large and adjoins both the hall and the second bedroom. Its principle feature is a large fully-tiled walk-in double power shower plus WC, shaving point and hand washbasin. Complimentary toiletries (soap, shampoo and conditioner) are also provided. The bathroom is cleverly designed so that guests can enter from the hallway whilst serving as an en-suite to the second bedroom.

Bathroom Two

The en-suite to the master bedroom of Celeste has a bath and a power shower, plus a wash basin, WC, a heated towel rail, shaver point/mirror and glass shelved storage unit. This is the place to unwind after those long hot sunny days on the beach or those springtime walks along the cliff.

Bath sheet, bath towel and hand towel are provided per person but please bring your own beach towels. Although we provide weighing scales, you don't have to use them - this is your holiday to relax.

The beautiful communal gardens of Cornwallis are available for guests' to use and benefit from stunning views and access to the southwest coastal path and the beach.

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.
