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 getaway from it all but with 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.

Guest Comments

"We were very impressed with Cardinal Point - very modern, well equipped and lovely and clean.  The bedding / towels and bathroom toiletries were very luxurious - a nice touch. Superb location - gorgeous views on the way down to the beach.  Having  wi-fi was a bonus."

J. Blear
"Cardinal Point was spotless (a credit to all concerned), superbly appointed and stocked. This is sometimes underestimated by owners but it can have a big impact on a holiday - it is nice to arrive at place that feels "home from home". We had a fantastic time with the team at Sunset Surf at Gwitian Towans, a family owned business which was reflected in the service, food and surf school - worth a visti for the chill factor alone. None of our family had been surfing before but we ended up going three times"
S. Pope

"We very much enjoyed our stay at Cardinal Point. The apartment and the weather exceeded our expectations. Godrevy and the cliffs at Wheal Coates between Chapel Porth and St Agnes Head are fantastic at high tide with the waves crashing below. Porthcurno Beach and the Minack Theatre are unforgettable. Kynance Cove is also delightful. Watching the surfers on the fantastic beaches at Porth Kidney and Sennen was great. For eating we love La Casita in Carbis Bay. Always friendly with beautifully cooked food. "

"We had a lovely holiday and really enjoyed our time at the Spinnakers.  Cardinal Point is a lovely apartment with lots of great features"
W. Lane

Fab time as usual with your company. Cardinal Point was very clean and with all the mod cons we have come to expect from your properties.  We did our usual coastal walk to St Ives and had lunch at Porthminster Beach Café.  The walk down from Spinnakers was lovely and not as taxing on the way up as I thought it might be. 

S. Ward-Hendry

"The standard of the accommodation was excellent as was all the equipment inside it.  We were very surprised at the amount of equipment and the quality of it...The beds were extremely comfortable which is very important to us and the property was extremely clean.  I would definitely recommend Carbis Bay Holidays to other people."
