“This was a beautiful property with stunning views and comfortable furniture throughout.”

The amount of natural light in the house accompanied with carefully thought out decorations brought it depth and character that some holiday rentals rarely deliver on. Our family had a lovely time in this gorgeous house and enjoyed the local area too which is perfect for beach lovers and keen walkers. St Ives is a stones through away too - we mostly walked or took the local scenic train.

“Beautiful stylish house, in a good location with great sea views from the balcony.”

We found the property very clean and well equipped. There was lots of storage space, comfy beds and a very spacious main bedroom. We found the Wi-Fi fine in all rooms. Our only very minor comment would be too few small tumbler style glasses ( although there was plenty of wine glasses ☺️)

“I was a bit disappointed that there was no Wi-Fi connection on the basement floor s d I could have had an emergency.”

I called the owner but she did not answer my call .

“Plates and bowls cracked or chipped on arrival no wfi on lower floor, barbecue dirty, no towel or soap in spare toilet and one of the settees on the decking has a broken back.”

There was also a mark on the stair wall in the hall and one on the table in the hall. We took photos. Over all not impressed. We left the house in good order as found all bar the barbecue which we had to clean before and after we used. Please note that we did email Carbis Bay Holidays about these problems but did not receive an answer.

- Louise, June 2023

Our feedback to Seafield is overwhelmingly positive so I was disappointed by this negative review which seems to focus on a number of minor issues whilst forgetting to mention what a lovely property this is - I might be biased as I built it! but over the years, we have had so many guests who loved their stay at Seafield and come on a regular basis. To take each point in turn: A) Chipped crockery - I have had our cleaner undertake a full inventory and she could find one plate with a tiny chip. We will replace that plate of course. B) No Wi-Fi on lower floor - we have fibre broadband to Seafield of the highest possible speed, However, there is a concrete slab above the lower ground floor level which makes reception variable in the downstairs bedrooms. The rest of the house enjoys very fast broadband speeds. C) BBQ dirty - we generally rely on guests to clean the BBQ once they have used it. We will ensure that this is checked in the future. D) There is outside seating for 12 people in total but a guest would appear to have broken a small piece of plastic on one of the settee backs.- we will of course get this repaired. D) The staircase and landing was painted over the winter but inevitably during the summer season, guests might mark the walls with a suitcase. The house is cleaned spotlessly but I don’t think it would be reasonable to paint the walls after every guest - especially for a 10mm mark on the wall! Overall, some very minor points and I am sorry they impacted your stay so negatively. Property Owner

“A lovely weeks stay at Seafield.”

Accommodation was ideal for our family of 2 adults and 2 older teens. Great location and views. The balcony area was fabulous. The property had everything we needed for a weeks stay. The only comment we would make (and it’s a really small point) was that there was no guest towel in the cloakroom which would have been useful but in fortunately we had taken a spare with us.

“Beautiful property and great location.”

The double bed however downstairs was too close to the wall making it very difficult to get around it. A welcome hamper would have been the icing on the cake given the price we paid for the property.

Michael August 2022

“Seafield is a beautiful house, the pictures on the website really don't do it justice, especially as the living room furniture and the balcony have been upgraded.”

The house had everything we needed and is beautifully decorated, the views of the beach from the upstairs bedroom and balcony are breathtaking. It is a short but steep walk down to the beach. We walked in to St Ives several times during our stay, it's about a 25 minute walk along the coastal path. Overall a fantastic property and we would definitely stay here again in the future.

“The property is well appointed, clean ,tidy, well equiped and has a wonderful view.”

A delightful holiday location. However, the patio table, chairs and sunshade so cleary indicated on the property details and photographs (and still are) were nowhere to be seen making the promiss of al fresco dining a let down. This clear and obvious misrepresentation was a great disappointment and tarnished what could and should have been a very pleasant stay. Perhaps Sykes HolidayCottages should pay more attention to the details.

- Peter, July 2022

I am sorry that you found the al fresco dining inadequate at garden level but you have perhaps missed that the rear balcony of the property has been extended over the winter by 5 metres providing an outside dining and sitting area directly accessible from the first floor kitchen/lounge space through bi-folding doors. This is not shown in the current Sykes pictures (which only show the original 1m wide balcony) but will be updated soon along with the new furniture to the lounge and dining space which was replaced in the Spring. The new balcony space offers a much improved layout for the property for relaxing and dining outside and is as large as the previous garden level dining area. Property Owner

“This is an absolutely lovely house with amazing views.”

The location is excellant for pubs/resturants. We really enjoyed our stay here. Only a very small niggles..this is the first time EVER we have had to provide our own toilet roll. Just a suggestion but a hand towel in the kitchen would be useful as we never dry our hands on a tea towel...an extra tea towel as well. Kitchen roll /foil/ cling film would also be handy. As I have stated these are only small critics as the kitchen on the whole is extremely well equipped. Lovely seating area outside which we where lucky enough to use as we had amazing weather. I would certainly recommend this house.

Angela September 2021

“Fantastic House.”

The only thing that we would make people aware of is that there are no windows in bedrooms downstairs, so when it gets hot you would have to leave the doors open.

- Angela, September 2021
Kaye August 2021

“Loved the location and the house was gorgeous.”

Only thing we couldnt find was a hairdryer! I went out with wet hair on more than one occasion. Apart from that we had everything we could possibly need. It would be helpful to leave directions to the beach as we ended up driving because we didnt know the shortcuts down the hill. We will definitely be back to Seafield - we all had a great stay!

The view is amazing from the top bedroom, well exceeding our expectations, the house and decor is made to very high standards and has a contemporary high end feel, but the Seagulls screech all night and keep you awake, not the fault of the house, but an issue all over seaside resorts

“Modern, comfortable and well set out house in great location with fabulous views.”

- Neil, December 2020
Carole September 2020

“The house was lovely and in a beautiful location.”

Fantastic views from top bedroom and kitchen/lounge area. I found coming up from the beach exceptionally steep and feel this would not be an appropriate property for elderly or less mobile people. Facilities in the kitchen and inside of the property were as expected of this type of property. We only had one issue where the water from the sink to the waste leaked. A plumber was sent out. The property was clean and tidy throughout. We were a little disappointed that the outdoor furniture was not as shown in the photographs and there was less seating and no outdoor dining table. Having said that the weather wasn`t brilliant at the end of the week so it wasn`t a big issue. My only suggestions would be to give clearer instructions for rubbish collection days. We followed what other households did but only some of our rubbish was taken. I noticed on a previous review someone else had mentioned that the previous occupants rubbish was still there. This was possibly the same issue that we had had as the previous occupants rubbish was also piled up outside when we arrived. Perhaps they had had the same issue that we had.

“We had a great holiday and the property lived up to our expectations.”

It was very well equipped with high quality utensils and ppliances. The views were as stunning as outlined in the photographs. The property was overall very clean but certain small things were overlooked. For example, you could tell the remote controls had not been cleaned and the grooves in the kitchen table still had crumbs in them. This needs to be addressed, especially in this current pandemic. A couple of minor things missing were sufficient washing line pegs and a hose, since rinsing beach things under the outdoor tap just leaves water running down the stairs. Overall though, we were extremely happy with the quality of the facilities.

- Jean-francois, August 2020
Gill August 2020

“Considering we are in a pandemic and cleanliness is of the utmost importance, I was alarmed to get a text from the cleaner to ask that when we left, would we take the bedding off and place in the linen baskets, but to NOT remove the mattress protectors or pillow protectors!”

That suggests to me that the ones we were sleeping on hadn't been changed either! Also there was clear notification that rubbish was collected on a Friday. We checked in on the Saturday and both bins were full to the brim and another black bag was placed alongside it. It should not have been our problem to put previous occupants rubbish out and have no place to put our own! There was no advice about recycling either!

- Gill, August 2020

“Office did not reply to emails asking questions prior to the booking-letting the house owners down!”

Gorgeous house very comfortable for a family Housekeeping was very responsive and helpful All home comforts-fridge a little small for a family but Tesco 4 minute walk so easily solved! We all loved every aspect

- Dr, August 2020
Jadwiga July 2020

“We had a wonderful time at the Seafield.”

The property has got very good facilities and it is relatively close to the beach. The only down side was that the sleeping are is spread across three floors with master bedroom in the loft and two remaining bedrooms at the lower ground floor, making it a bit tricky with small children. Also, one is quite aware of the neighbors next door (permanent residents) and so from the perspective of noise made by small children it was a bit stressful. However, on balance, it is a lovely and well kept property and I would definitely go back there with my children being a bit older.

- Jadwiga, July 2020
Lee March 2020

“Due to the government shutdown we only had 3 day out of the 7.”

the double bed on the ground floor was very uncomfortable with a plastic sheet on it that made you sweat. we tried to contact Sykes but they turned off their phones and on line services. so I’ve sent them an email and still not heard from the 5 days after the email, however I’ve had 5 or 6 text to look and book a new holiday. not a good Service. A company customer service should be as good in the bad time as well as the good.

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 port town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and an exotic zoo. 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.
