"We had a fantastic holiday at Altantic Crest! The apartment was excellent - perfectly clean and very well equipped. We particulary enjoyed to walk on the coastal path the Porthkidney sands, such a beautiful beach. We would also recommend a day out to the Minack Theatre - we had a great time seeing a matinee show there."
K. Steward"We had a fantastic holiday whilst staying at Atlantic Crest, we were able to make full use of it being so close to the beach. A trip to godrevy beach cafe is a must especially for breakfast, its also a lovely beach although a steep walk down if you go up to the top!"
T. Orvis"We absolutely loved Carbis Bay & Atlantic Crest was spotlessly clean. As a family holiday it is hard to beat, both as a destination & the standard of the accommodation. Lots of wonderful places to visit & eat. Becks fish & chips was a must but too many others to mention also. "
"We had a great holiday thanks, the apartment was lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped, we were very pleased and kids loved Carbis bay beach. The train into St Ives was perfect and the apartment perfectly located to it - we used the train 6 or 7 times - excellent service, always on time and very cheap."
I. Linley"This was the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed at Atlantic Crest for an out of season break. We have found that the apartment has been, improved in some way each time we have stayed. We have always been fairly fortunate with the weather and use the apartment as a base for walking into St.Ives and generally around the area. This time while walking around Godrevy Point we saw a herd of seals basking on the shore...quite a sight."
D. Harrison"We had a fantastic holiday at Atlantic Crest. the ground floor position was so convenient, and we still had a pleasant view. The apartment felt extremely clean, the towels and bed linen were also fresh, clean and good quality. The flat is in such a tasteful, modern yet homely manner, it was a pleasure to stay there, and we will definitely return in the future. i will also recommend Atlantic Crest and Carbis Bay holidays to others."

It was a fantastic place to stay and we really did not want to go home!!!"

Sometimes we walked, one way anyway!"
