    “Wonderful apartment with fantastic views.”

    Location perfect for the beach & train station. Local superstore close by. Plenty of space for a family of 4 & fully equipped with kitchen appliances. Car spaces are quite small & hilly but managed to park & well aware how hilly Carbis bay is! Great to have Sky tv in evenings & on rainy days. Outside space is great, unfortunately we didn’t make use of it due to the weather but fantastic in the nice weather. Would recommend the apartment & hope to come back again.
