Brynmaur

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean property.

Perfect location and lovely 'sun trap' patio and garden to relax in after days out sightseeing. This is our 3rd time stopping in Carbis Bay and would not hesitate in checking the availability of this property next time we visit Cornwall.

We had a wonderful stay at this property and would happily recommend it to others.

The accommodation itself is extremely nice—spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and very comfortable. One of the standout features for us was the fact that there are no stairs, making it especially convenient and accessible. The views from the property are fantastic and really added to the overall experience, giving a lovely sense of space and relaxation throughout our stay. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. A local Tesco’s is just a 5-minute walk away, which was incredibly handy, and St Ives is easily accessible—around a 10–15 minute walk downhill, or 20–30 minutes coming back up. For those who prefer not to walk, the bus service is regular and stops right at the top of the road, making getting around effortless. The property is ideally situated for exploring the area, whether you enjoy walking or want to make use of public transport to visit local attractions. It’s also a great base if you’re travelling further afield by car. Overall, a fantastic property in a brilliant location—comfortable, convenient, and perfect for a relaxing stay

This was our 3rd stay at Brymaur.

It is just perfect for us and really has become a home from home. A beautiful bungalow, immaculately presented with everything we need for a comfortable stay. Close to the beach and the coast path, which leads to St Ives. We will be back!

Beautiful property and perfect location.

Car port and EV charger were an absolute godsend. House was spotlessly clean. Beds extremely comfortable. Everything was to a high standard. We loved the ease of popping into St Ives as it is so close. Tesco is minutes away if you need an emergency bottle of wine! Loved waking up to the view of the sea every day. Shall miss being here but will be returning. Our timid greyhound felt very at home here too. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Wonderful property with sea views.

Beds and pillows were so comfortable, unusual in rental properties. Easy to walk into St Ives, although hilly lol. Could not recommend enough

A lovely comfortable cottage, we loved it and will definitely rebook for next year.

Property was well maintained and clean when we arrived.

. excellent location and views.. would definitely go back and recommend to others... Thank you.

Brilliant location for walking to St.

Ives and down to Carbis Bay beach. House has a gorgeous view out to the bay and it’s been great to sit there with a glass of something chilled and relax. Added bonus is the garden being fully secure so we weren’t worried and the dogs escaping! Great stay!

A very nice quiet bungalow which was well equipped and comfortable.

The outdoor space overlooking the bay was a good place to sit in the sun and have a drink. Being close to a large Tesco meant everything was close by.

This was our second stay at Brynmaur and we have already booked another week.

The bungalow is perfectly located on a quiet road, with easy access to Carbis Bay and the coastal path to St Ives. It is very well equipped and has everything for a lovely holiday.

Lovely bungalow very similar to the one my grandparents had on the next road down - so bought back lots of happy memories.

Lovely place to stay, perfect location and great amenities.

It was particularly good that our dog could wander freely in the enclosed safe garden. Instructions were really clear. Thank you!

The sofa isn’t very comfortable ( appreciate it’s a sofa bed) kept sliding out of place when sat on it.

A chair would be nice in the hall to be able to sit when putting shoes or boots on. Beds are lovely and comfortable the kitchen is excellent. The patio was slippy when it had rained. The car port was great and easy to park in. It was a lovely place to stay and we had a lovely time staying there thank you.

The new car port was too low for our car and roof box, something to note when booking so we had to park on the road.

Washing line was awkward to reach due to position. Shower leaked all over the floor. Good position and lovely views but unfortunately the house wasn’t as clean as we would’ve hoped with marks on the walls and kitchen cupboards and previous guests items left in the house. Plus no hand soap which I would have thought would be a basic item on arrival?

Second stay here.

Nice quiet location. The addition of carport and EV charging is great. Combination of views across the bay and light and airy house means we will likely be back again.

2 of us stayed at this property with our French Bulldog, and we had such a wonderful time.

The house is very clean and tidy, and the views and space around the house are amazing, too. We will definitely be staying there again!

We loved this place.

Great location and beautifully maintained spacious bungalow with great views. We would happily stay here again. Only smalll feedback - we had asked for the second room to be made up as a double not a twin. Otherwise everything was superb.

We forgot to write our impressions in the guests book and apologise for that.

We had a great 10 days in Brynmaur, a lovely little cottage, extremely well located, very comfortable and with a great view - having the morning coffee in bed looking at the sea: what a luxury. We are also grateful to the owners to have agreed to accept our 3 dogs - I vacuumed daily, so I hope we did not leave too many dogs' hair behind. We strongly recommend the quiches and bread (particularly the focaccia) of Yvette, just round the corner; the amazing restaurant 1st Fish Street (that has moved out of Fish Street), book at the bar so that you can chat with the chef; Porthminster with a great view on the haven. As for shopping...gosh! We gladly contributed to the economy of St Ives, Truro, Penzance... Finally, it was truly great and relaxing to be in a country where dogs are accepted everywhere. Living in Belgium, easily one of the least dog-friendly country in continental Europe, that was a welcomed change that we appreciate every time we cross the Channel. So thank you all, including the staff of Sykes Holiday Cottages, for a wondeful and relaxing 10 days - even the weather did its best. We do hope to come back soon.

A lovely stay in a beautiful bungalow.

Excellent location with sea views and within walking distance of St Ives. A real ‘home from home’ with everything we needed. Immaculately presented and lots of thoughtful touches. We will definitely return!

Grear propity, excelent stay and very relaxing with everything you could need.

Well situated for St Ives and srounding area, would definitely reccomend and revisit.

Brynmaur was a lovely holiday home well positioned for local amenities and Carbis bay beach and beautiful wildlife minutes away from property.

The sea views from back of the property was stunning and on clear days could see Godrevy lighthouse and cliffs behind in the distance. Brynmaur was a well equipped family friendly holiday home and owner had considered everything needed to make the stay comfortable and even left a pack of treats for our dog. Overall the property was clean however the only negative was the bathroom cupboard was a bit damp smelling and had small amount of black mould around the bath seal which we had to try and clean as was affecting an asthma sufferer in party. The bathroom extract wasn’t powerful enough to remove steam build up after a showers even with window open so most likely cause of damp from previous holiday makers. This was only a minor point and didn’t detract from the enjoyment of our stay. We would definitely recommend this holiday home to others and would stay in property again.

Lovely house with great view of Godrevy.

Super clean, and we enjoyed breakfast on the dog friendly patio admiring the view.

The only issue was that the bathroom sink hot water tap didn't deliver sufficiently hot water.

Brynmaur is a delightful home-from-home in Carbis Bay.

Close to the footpath that leads to St Ives and within easy access to groceries and eateries, it still feels quiet and peaceful. We stayed over New Year's and the house was decorated with two Christmas trees and twinkling lights which made staying home a treat. The welcome package included several local goodies, including biscuits for our dog. The house was spotlessly clean, well-equipped, bright and cheerful. The views from the main bedroom and sitting room were wonderful. Even in bad weather we could watch the dolphins play from our warm, snug rooms. Highly recommended.

Amazing cottage.

We loved the place, we loved our whole week holiday. Perfect location, beautiful home! We can’t wait to come back again

This was our second stay at Brynmaur.

What a fabulous property and location. We felt so comfortable here during both our stays, such a warm and lovely space. Lovely decor too. Vicinity to the beach is brilliant, we hope to be back soon.

A lovely property, excellent location.

We had a wonderful time. Everything you needed was there, the owner thought of everything. We would love to visit again. We really appreciated the facilitation of allowing my friend to stay a few nights so that my son had his pal with him, it made the difference for us. Thank you.

Great location, we were pleased with our stay, cottage was exactly as listed, no issues at all.

Beds very comfortable, sofa not the most comfortable, however we were not in the cottage much so didn’t matter.

Had a fantastic time staying at Brynmaur with my partner and 8 month pup.

Really airy, spacious room with comfy furniture and everything you could need. Beautiful views over the bay from the terrace and the main bedroom and easy walking distance to St Ives, Carbis Bay beach and Porthkidney (the latter of which is great for dogs all year round!). There's not a huge amount of amenities in the Carbis Bay area but everything you need is still within walking distance, such as Tesco and Costcutter. We also caught buses and trains to nearby areas as the public transport routes are good. We travelled by car to Porthcurno beach and the Minack Theatre which we highly recommend for the spectacular views. We loved our stay and would love to visit again. (Just a very minor point that when we arrived there were damp bath and hand towels in the washing machine that we needed to empty and air out to dry. I imagine this was the previous customer so have not marked now as it was a very minor inconvenience.)

The only criticism I have is that the second bedroom does not have a wardrobe and not enough drawer space either and the information booklet needs to be revised about when to put the bin out we read that it would be collection day on Saturday and it was in fact Friday so we missed it.

Everything else was first class and we had a lovely stay

Had a fantastic time.

The cottage was extremely clean. Beautiful light and airy . The enclosed garden was a big bonus for our dog. Excellent location for surrounding villages and towns. The only negative would be the very steep walk back from the beach, which I guess goes with the territory. Please be aware of the restricted times you can take your dog on the beach, as this did take the shine off our holiday a little.

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage.

Everything was really nice and welcoming. Beds were really comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The floor, unfortunately, is a bit on the noisy side! Due to rainy weather we couldn’t use the outdoor spaces, but they looked very inviting. Would definitely consider coming back or reference it to friends. Thank you!

Brynmaur is well positioned in the Carbis Bay area; walking distance to the beach and close to other necessary amenities such as a supermarket.

The bungalow is clean airy and spacious with everything you should need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and loved the view out to Godrevy Lighthouse from the lounge and outside seating area. Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and the welcome pack with the dog biscuits. The slight hiccup is that we found the parking quite restricted as the bungalow occupies a corner site, one small car is just manageable. Be aware you will need to vacate the premises by 09.00 promptly on your last day, quite a feat, most other holiday lets we have stayed in give you until 10.00 to do everything you need to do before finally leaving (sadly) and locking up .

It's a nicely fitted out holiday let with all the facilities you would like and everything appeared to be new or hardly used.

There were a very few minor improvements we would like to suggest to the owners but overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Just to say that there were no wheelie bins and we had to dispose of rubbish in a recycling center which wasnt ideal.

The wheelie bin was actually noted in the info but wasnt at the property and thus frustrating as the info impressed on not to leave rubbish due to the gulls.

We had a lovely week here staying in your cosy, comfortable house.

The beds are especially comfortable! The house is extremely well-equipped - you've thought of everything! The house is in a great location with a lovely view of the sea towards Godrevy Lighthouse. We're looking forward to coming back again soon!

We've had a delightful few days here at your amazing property.

It has been so comfortable for us : cosy during the wet and cold days and fresh and cool during the hotter weather we've enjoyed. The beds are amazing - comfier than most hotels! And we've had some great evenings playing games in your great dining area - we're 16 games into your games compendium and will make a point of eating into the other 88 when we are next here to stay! We've enjoyed the beach and local walks , taking the coastal path to Hayle and back to enjoy the stunning scenery, we were even able to enjoy six seals together playing in the bay (not the same seal six times!). Thanks for making your property available to us. Carbis Bay is a real hidden gem and your property has been a great place to enjoy it from!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

The house is decorated beautifully and everything we needed was provided. The views are stunning. The beds are so comfortable and the whole experience was a cosy and warm one. Thank you.

Lovely bungalow to stay in, lovely views, comfy beds, everything thought about for convenience for visitors.

Peaceful, as an author got lots of work done so thank you, I shall tell my friends.

What a fab week we had in your lovely little bungalow.

It had everything we needed, kitchen was well kitted out and beds are so comfy! Well done, you have a little gem!

We had a lovely time here - the views are amazing.

We have spent a lot of time down at Carbis Bay Beach and have walked a few times down to St Ives. All the hiking up the hills kept us fit! We took our dog down to Gwithian and had really nice hot chocolates from Sunset Surf Café. It has really been a lovely week here. Thank you! Hope to visit again.

We truly had the most wonderful holiday here at Brynmaur.

We all totally relaxed and enjoyed all the surrounding areas. A walk every morning before 9am to take advantage of Carbis Bay beach with our little dog, and the peace was wonderful. You have a lovely property and you have thought of everything, thank you. Our highlights: Carbis Bay beach, St Ives boat trip, Beck's fish and chips, Lands End, St Edwards mine and St Michaels Mount. We packed in so much, ate well and drunk a bit. I will definitely come back. Thank you for all your kindness in making this a great holiday.

Not sure we have ever had such a perfect stay in such immaculate accommodation.

Peaceful and quiet, but close to all amenities. Weather has been good, and the location so wonderful that we haven't explored much further then the ice-cream shops in St Ives. We did have a day trip to St Mawes via the Falmouth Ferry, and over to St Anthony's Head for a walk. We shall have to return to this special place. Thank you.

We started our holiday reading this guest book, hoping that our time here would be just as wonderful as it had been for those who had stayed before us.

Well we were not disappointed! We have had the most amazing week and the bungalow is beautiful - very comfortable, very nicely decorated, spacious yet cosy and I have loved sitting in bed each morning enjoying the wonderful sea views and huge sky above. We really appreciated the little toiletries and biscuits etc left for us too which made us feel at home right away. The weather has been mixed but on the rainy days we went out in the car and on the sunny/dry days we spent as much time outside walking or on the beach as possible. We walked down to the beach to walk our dog each morning before 10am and had a coffee in the lovely little shop there. We've enjoyed the beautiful scenic coastal walk into St Ives. This is an absolutely stunning location and we've really loved our time staying here. I can't believe I found a bed that is comfier than my bed at home! We hope to come again and thank you for a wonderful week.

Came here for my birthday week, been to lots of lovely places.

The house is gorgeous, as are the views. PERFECT!!! We don't want to leave. P.S. It was very reassuring that our little dog couldn't escape from the garden.

Amazing place, perfect location, beautiful house and the most incredible views.

We have had the best time! If you ever want to sell, please let us know! We can't wait to visit again. You have made this place feel like home to us. Thank you! P.S. It's wonderful to read all these reviews and hear how much everyone loves this home too.

Such a bright and spacious property - perfect for a family.

Superb location - we only used the car to get to Godrevy once! Fabulous places to eat and enjoy the views in Carbis Bay and St. Ives. Beautiful beaches and so exciting for the children to see seals in the sea! Surf lesson at Godrevy and Mackerel fishing trip from St. Ives were fun. Porthmeor Beach Cafe - delicious food with a view! We will be back!

We loved this bungalow.

So bright and clean and a great location to explore this part of Cornwall. Godrevy and Gwithian area must see! Lots of seal spotting. Sennen Cove to Land's End walk was spectacular despite challenging weather, rewarded with great lunch at "The Old Success" Inn in Sennen. The Minnack Theatre accessed from the steps across the rocks took our breath away. Local walks into St. Ives and other direction to Porthkidney beach we also enjoyed. Hope to be back soon.

A brilliant stay in your lovely bungalow.

Appreciated the clean and comfortable surroundings. Especially the beds. We were lucky with the weather and had a great time. We hope to return one day. Thank you.

Had a great week away.

Weather hit and miss but still really enjoyed our stay. Lovely bungalow as stated on the website of Sykes. Carbis Bay beach is lovely and so is the restaurant down there. Land's End is an easy drive not far at all, so worth a visit. Cornish Arms Pub and Tesco 5 minutes walk, so really handy. Enjoyed our stay in Cornwall again. Thanks. x

We really enjoyed staying at Brynmaur.

It was really like a home from home. Immaculately presented and very well situated for St. Ives and exploring the general area.

We stayed a Brynmaur over New Year.

The house its self is well located on a quiet road, but within easy walking distance of Carbis Bay beach and Porthminster beach, where our spaniel enjoyed his morning walk into St Ives. The owners have recently had a car port built, which is a really good addition. Plenty of space for our estate car. The gate at the back of the car port leads directly onto the terrace. The terrace has beautiful views across the bay. It is a lovely private patio and will be great for bbqs in the summer. The house when we arrived was spotless. The owners have decorated and furnished the house beautifully. The beds are very good quality (no lumpy mattresses!) and very comfy with crisp white bedding. Plenty of wardrobe space in the main bedroom, and a beautiful view across the bay. The second bedroom is either twins or king-size bed. The kitchen is well equipped, and has a full size fridge freezer. Plenty of crockery, cooking utensils etc. The dinning area is large, and very light and airy. The lounge has a the same lovely view over the bay, and it is really very easy just to sit and enjoy the view. The owners have thought of everything, and obviously put in a lot of time in effort to ensure their guests enjoy their stay. We very much enjoyed our New year's stay at Brynmaur and would definitely recommend.

We have had a lovely Stay here in the house.

My little boy has loved it. It was also so reassuring to know that our dog Roxie could be in an enclosed garden- that was such a big thing for us. Thank you for letting us stay. - Guest book review.

We have had a fantastic week at Brynmaur.

It is a lovely bungalow, a real home away from home. It is so relaxing to sit out with a stunning view of the sea. Brynmaur is also an idea location to explore the beautiful surrounding areas. Yvettes pantry and La Casita are definitely worth a visit! We will hopefully be back very soon! - Guest book review.

Thank you for a beautiful bungalow to stay in.

We had a lovley time exploring Carbis Bay, St Ives, Hayle Beach, Godrevy Beach and we saw the seals at the Cove. Our 8 month old Labrador has had a great time. We have booked for next year! - Guest book review.

We are back for our second visit!

Had a lovely time and the weather has been beautiful. Visited Hayle Beach, Perranporth, Holywell, Crantock and Godrevy with our 1year old Labrador Betty. We have booked again for June! Thank you for a lovely place to stay.

It`s a second visit for us - we last came in 2023: we have had a fabulous week mostly spent at Carbis Bay beach - dogs allowed before 10 am + after 6pm - over at Gwithian beach - which is absolutely stunning.

Eaten some lovely food. Lovely bungalow + location - we will be back. PS: The bed in main bedroom very comfortable xx

A wonderful base for exploring the local area incl many walks down to Carbis Bay in the evening.

Cant go wrong in St Ives for food - highly recommend getting the train in. Very much enjoyed our walk around Godrevy and saw the seals in the cove. Thanks for a lovely stay. We will miss the sea views!!

Could not ask for a better place to stay - perfect in every way - spotlessly clean.

Excellent views and location. You must do the walk into St Ives via coastal path - stunning - would highly recommend. Thanks for a great holiday.

Beautiful cottage, clean, bright and bed super comfy.

Perfect stay! Would come here again. Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous property.

We love the area and this is ideal for us.

Really lovely house in a beautiful location.

Very comfortable beds. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful property.

Clean and bright. We loved waking up to the stunning views! Great location for the surrounding areas. We all had a wonderful week here - even our very nervous greyhound felt at home here. Car park + EV charge was a godsend. Thank you. We will be back next year!
