    “Lovely and clean and everything new.”

    Good utensils in the kitchen to cook up a nice meal. Great shower and comfy beds with nice linen. Good enclosed garden for dogs and gets the sun until early evening. Will be even better when newly planted hedging has grown. Could do with some comfy chairs in the garden to relax on. All hard floors OK, but very noisy/hollow. Curtains would soften it, even if just cosmetic. Would also have appreciated some rugs at the side of the bed. Well situated for walk to Carbis Bay Beach, but bear in ...

    Good utensils in the kitchen to cook up a nice meal. Great shower and comfy beds with nice linen. Good enclosed garden for dogs and gets the sun until early evening. Will be even better when newly planted hedging has grown. Could do with some comfy chairs in the garden to relax on. All hard floors OK, but very noisy/hollow. Curtains would soften it, even if just cosmetic. Would also have appreciated some rugs at the side of the bed. Well situated for walk to Carbis Bay Beach, but bear in mind, up hill coming back. Lovely walk into St Ives along Hain Walk and along the coastal path in the other direction to Lelant, where there is a nice pint at the Badger Inn. If you like walking and are relatively fit like me, you can get away without using the car. However, the MinackTheater at Porthcurno is worth a visit and under 20 mile away. A day out at Fowey is also an easy drive and the Hall Walk there is well worth doing. Foot ferry across to Bendinnick, then water taxi from Poluruan back to Fowey. Not sure who loves Cornwall more, me or my dog ❤️

About the location

CARBIS BAY

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching.
