    “Wonderful views of the sea and St Ives.”

    Good location right next to the train station and 5 min. to the beach. Spent the whole time in the great conservatory. Great terrace. Dish washing machine, which you also need because you have to wash up after every meal (few plates). 3 frying pans of different sizes, but no large pan to cook pasta for 4 people. Address: Parking and access to the house just above the railroad parking lot. The apartment has a garage, which is unfortunately much too small, a better storage room. There is only room ...

    Good location right next to the train station and 5 min. to the beach. Spent the whole time in the great conservatory. Great terrace. Dish washing machine, which you also need because you have to wash up after every meal (few plates). 3 frying pans of different sizes, but no large pan to cook pasta for 4 people. Address: Parking and access to the house just above the railroad parking lot. The apartment has a garage, which is unfortunately much too small, a better storage room. There is only room for a very small car at most. Solution: Get one of the 3 visitor parking spaces or in the parking lot of the railway for 9 pounds. We would come back anytime, highly recommended.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. The measurements for the garage parking are in the description to enable guests to check this before arrival. If the car is over the measurements provided then we do recommend guest seek alterative local parking. Kind regards, 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.
