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.

"Halfway Tree was beautfiul and had lots of character, a real home from home with a wonderful view !!"
L. Chell"We all had an absolutely wonderful time, Halfway Tree was as stunning as the views out of the bedroom and living room. It was in pristine condition too – felt like a five star hotel. We had a great time walking into St Ives each evening, then walking back by moonlight. Had a lovely posh meal in Al Fresco and a more relaxed one in Pels, both fantastic."
N. Padmore"We have had a wonderful holiday. Halfway Tree was very well furnished, with everything we could possibly need. St Ives and the surrounding area is lovely, having not visited for many years myself and this being the first time I have taken my own children, I am glad to see it hasn't been spoilt and commercialised like many areas. The service given by yourselves has been excellent with very comprehensive information supplied. We hopefully look forward to another holiday with yourselves next year."
P. Flint"Thank you for a wonderful stay at Halfway Tree. The apartment itself was clean and spacious and allowed plenty of space for our young children to enjoy themselves whilst we were there. Having the free wifi and sky tv were also bonuses as we felt that we were at home and not out of touch. One of the best parts of the holiday was coming back to the apartments with a beautiful view and the sound of the tide lapping on the shore."
J. Kanwar"We had a lovely time at the apartment and the view was spectacular. The apartment was clean and met all of our expectations. The walks suggested were great and provided breathtaking views."
A. AttraWe had a really fantastic time staying at Halfway Tree. The apartment is really great - very spacious, clean and such an amazing view! It felt like being on an island somewhere and we didn't want to leave! The coastal walk to St. Ives was very nice and we went to the Eden Project, which was a really good day out. Thankyou very much for a great holiday and we hope to come back in the near future.
