Lounge Area

As soon as you enter the open plan living area you can’t help but be drawn to the floor to ceiling windows which offer one of the most beautiful views of St Ives Bay and Carbis Bay beach below.  The large corner sofa comfortably seats six and is ideally positioned for sitting back and watching the comings and goings in the bay using the binoculars provided. Alternatively, if you are able to take your eyes off the view, a 40” Samsung LCD television with Freeview and DVD player is provided along with a selection of DVD’s and complimentary Wi-Fi.  This room offers a double aspect, with an additional window looking to the side of the property down towards Carbis valley. A tub chair is ideally positioned for taking in this outlook.

Dining Area

The dining area forms part of the open plan living area and is ideally positioned opposite the kitchen.  A large oak table with six cream leather seats is provided, great for if you wish to invite friends over to dine. A booster seat is also provided for younger guests.  A large window looks to the side of the property, allowing additional light to flood in.  A book case houses a selection of games and books and an iPod docking clock radio is available for your use.  Should you decide to dine out, Carbis Bay offers a good selection of restaurants and St Ives is just a five minute train ride away, perfect for enjoying an even larger variety of cuisine.

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.
