“Had a wonderful stay at Ocean Gate, lots of family time and memories made.”

Only thing we struggled with was the signal and WiFi not the strongest, but that's only a minor thing. If you don't like walking and exercise then suggest you stay on the actual beach itself, we did more walking than anything else. The walk back from the beach is a killer

“Not to Carbis Bay holiday standards.”

Dirty cooker and cupboards and drawers. No non stick frying pan only 1 small heavy cast iron pan. Very small bedrooms. This us our 4 th stay with Carbis bay holidays and we were very disappointed

- Janet, June 2022

Thank you for taking time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Ocean Gate, we completely agree with you that this is certainly not our regular Carbis Bay Holidays standard of cleanliness and we have passed your comment on to the Housekeeper that looks after Ocean Gate for their attention. We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“We stayed at this property for a week, the apartment its self was well maintained and clean.”

The location of the property is good as most things are in walking distance, it was nice to not have to use the car for a day or two. We hope to return to this property soon :)

Frank March 2022

“We were delighted to find that the property was exactly as described - clean, modern, well furnished, comfortable and fully equipped with everything needed to make it a holiday 'home from home'.”

A real credit to it's owner. Although we only booked a last minute 3-day long weekend break (to take advantage of the forecasted unseasonally good weather) we would certainly book again for a longer stay in the future.

Patrick January 2022

“My only criticism is that the approach from the front needs smartening up but that’s more feedback to the owner and not a reason not to stay here.”

Location is great for carbis bay beach and a lovely cliff top walk of 20 minutes to St Ives. Dog friendly pub, Cornish Arms 5 minutes walk. Go to Becks Fish and Chips. Would stay here again

Kerry January 2022

“Lovely Property, really well situated, 2 mins from a large Tesco, close to lots of places to visit with a nice view looking over the bay.”

Property was very clean & smelled fresh on entry, nice and warm & welcoming. All furniture, fixtures, fittings, Crockery & equipment were top spec & in really good working order, there is also plenty of everything all of which is important for a pleasant stay. The owner has thought of everything.(nice welcome pack btw - you can tell a good property by the thought that goes into a welcome) Would definitely stay there again & would recommend

Emily October 2021

“Several issues.”

Musty smelling cot. Place stank like wet dogs. Cleanliness was below standard. Terrible wifi. Multiple broken items found in property. Not impressed. Wont return or recommend

- Emily, October 2021
Gary September 2021

“We’ve always stay with cabis holidays and never had to complain.”

This place was dirty my daughter found dirty tissues on her bedroom floor . The floors were so dirty our socks were dirty within half an hour of being there. The tray on the door of the fridge was broken so there was old milk all in the fridge where people who had to laid their milk down and it had leaked all over the bottom of the fridge . When we opened the cooker there was some chips on a tray from previous holiday makers and the oven was covered in grease inside . Dead flies on the windowsill not one but many, dirty windows with finger prints all over them inside and outside . The bathroom floor round the pedestal had a ring of dirt round and the bin hadn’t been cleaned at all it was dirty . Yogurt on the coffee table that had been sat a while as it had dried on,the back bedroom smelt of damp and was cold this made the bedding feel and smell damp . There was someone hair all over the floor it was that bad my daughter wanted to go home . Both wardrobes were full of Christmas decorations and high chair and just wasn’t clean this made putting our belongings in there difficult as it limited our space for our cases . The Wi-Fi was mostly no more than 1 bar at most times even with the booster plugged in . A very disappointing stay as we love staying in Carbis , we are really shocked that Carbis Hoildays rented this out with what is been happening with covid we expected better as our check in time was pushed back to allow more cleaning .

- Gary, September 2021

Dear Gary, Thank you for your Feedback following your recent stay at Ocean Gate and I am so sorry to hear that the apartment was not to the usual high standard of cleanliness you have experienced when you’ve stayed with us previously. I understand that you declined our offer for one of our team to come to the property to attend to the issues during your stay, we would have been happy to do this for you. Please be assured the property is being closely monitored and has and has also been decorated throughout. I do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

Claire August 2021

“We have booked through Carbis Bay holidays for a couple of years now & had lovely holidays & great service.”

It’s a shame to see the same accommodation however for 2022 for the same week has not just increased but the price has “doubled” for the same accommodation same facilities is disappointing for future family’s.

- Claire, August 2021

Hi Claire Thank you for your Feedback and I am pleased that we were able to welcome you back to the area again this year. With regards to the increase in pricing, this has been set due to the demand for holidays and properties in St Ives and Carbis Bay for 2022, however this is constantly being monitored and reviewed. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

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. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property. Access to the front door is up 9 steps.
