Gwel Marten Apartments , Blue Vista

Lounge Area

Blue Vista has a superb spacious living area with a balcony running the full width, you can enjoy probably the finest views of St Ives Bay in the area.  Just sink into either of the sofas and be mesmerised by the ever changing colours of the seascape.  After enjoying the stunning sunset over St Ives, perhaps have some family fun with the Nintendo Wii or just relax and enjoy the LCD TV with Freeview.

As well as an informative "Welcome Book" packed with information about the locality, you will also find information on gardens, maps, walks, a selection of games, books and videos as well as a box of toys for the children.  Local prints and scenic photos decorate the walls throughout the apartment.

Dining Area

With a choice of some of the best restaurants in the area and, just a 5 minute journey on the train, you will of course be tempted to try the local fine dining.  Perhaps the best opportunity to enjoy stunning sea views from your dining table, is in your apartment!  The dining area seamlessly flows from the lounge and enjoys the same panoramic views and is adjacent to the kitchen.  High chairs are provided for younger guests and you will find everything you need to make an extra special meal.  The dining area has a table and chairs for eight, and for alfresco dining, the balcony has tables and chairs for all.

So often, holiday chefs miss out on the company of their fellow guests when preparing meals, not in Blue Vista where they enjoy the stunning views as the fully fitted modern kitchen is part of the open plan living area. The kitchen has everything, beautifully fitted in ivory units with a cooker, grill and large oven.  There is a microwave, dishwasher, large fridge freezer as well as a washer and dryer.

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.
