    “We stayed in this property last year so knew the location and property well, however it was disappointing to see how dirty the property was this year.”

    My son’s white socks were dirty after playing in the upstairs bedroom! We spent river 10 minutes on the phone to Sykes trying to find out about recycling at the property and they couldn’t answer, we also turned the power off on the tv and when we turned it back on we couldn’t access the sky tv channels and Sykes would not rectify this. The furniture is the property is obviously now very worn and could probably do with cleaning. There was work being carried out in the next door property ...

    Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry to hear you were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property, we will be sure to follow this up with the housekeeper. I believe you spoken with somebody in customer relations but ended the call early, so they were unable to assist with the recycling however an email was sent to you advising unfortunately we are unable to provide the Sky TV pin due to watershed limitations, we do apologies for the inconvenience caused. We are sorry to hear there was work being carried out in the neighbouring property, unfortunately we were not made aware of this. Despite the issues you encountered during your stay, we do hope you had a lovely holiday. 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.
