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.
"We would like to thank you particularly for the delicious welcome basket and for decorating the apartment for our Christmas stay. The interior design of the Turquaze is very stylish and everything compliments the beautiful sea view outside."

"We had a wonderful week in Carbis Bay - our first in that part of the country. The accommodation and services offered were superb and we would not hesitate in recommending you and/or the apartment. We did try the beach path walks either side of Carbis Bay, one to St Ives and the other to Hayle, both of which we enjoyed immensely and of course the beach there was lovely. "
"The views from Turquarze are to die for and the short walk to the beach was like paradise.The whole experience lived up to our expectations. Our two young sons (5yrs and 2yrs) loved every minute including watching the trains going past out of the bedroom window. We found a wonderful place to visit for young families and that was Paradise Park which we visited twice."
R. Muguza"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Turquarze. The standard of accommodation was exceptional, along with the standard of cleanliness. The administration has gone without a hitch, so all in all a wonderful holiday. The two restaurants we frequented whilst at the apartment were La Casita in Carbis Bay and the Alba in St. Ives. Both restaurants provided wonderful food and good service."
P. Hunt"The accomodation was first class and was perfect for a lovely week in St Ives, we loved the place and may be back next year."
R. & R. Nadin"Turquarze, is by far the best ! I cannot fault the welcome from Pauline and cleanliness of all rooms. Best local discovery was the Badger Inn, Lelant and the cream teams in the garden of the station house at Lelant railway station."
M. Howell"We are thinking very often of our fantastic holidays we spent at Carbis Bay. We loved the apartment and especially the beautiful view on the beach, water. Everything was perfect: administration, service, standard of accommodation and fully met our expectations! We can recommend, walks on the costal path to St. Ives and Lelant, helicopter flight to Tresco (lunch at the New Inn), Porthminster Beach Café, Seafood Café at St. Ives"

C & F KogelboomWe had a fantastic week in Turquarze - yet again. We loved the refurbishment and the standard of cleanliness, furnishings and equipment was again second to none. As usual, the holiday went really smoothly - from the booking, payment, key instructions, meeting with the housekeeper, through to the apartment itself - and all topped off with superb weather! We love our annual visit to Carbis Bay and wherever else we holiday it's never quite the same! Look forward to booking next year's holiday with you in the not too distant future and thank you for making our holidays so easy, relaxing and enjoyable
