“We had a lovely holiday staying at this property.”

The location is excellent and in a beautiful part of Cornwall. It was peaceful and quiet, but easy to get to. We loved being able to take a 10-minute stroll down to a dog-friendly beach (Porthkidney Sands). The 3-mile Towans beach was just a short drive away and we got the bus into St Ives a couple of times. The property was clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable. A few things weren't working when we arrived: two of the lights in the main bedroom (quickly fixed after calling Carbis Bay ...

The location is excellent and in a beautiful part of Cornwall. It was peaceful and quiet, but easy to get to. We loved being able to take a 10-minute stroll down to a dog-friendly beach (Porthkidney Sands). The 3-mile Towans beach was just a short drive away and we got the bus into St Ives a couple of times. The property was clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable. A few things weren't working when we arrived: two of the lights in the main bedroom (quickly fixed after calling Carbis Bay Holidays), the dryer, and the kitchen scales. The dining table is quite small for four people. The kitchen was mostly high-quality and well-equipped, though a mixing bowl and serving spoons would have been useful.

Thank you for staying in Sand Dunes, we are pleased that you had a lovely holiday. It's good to hear that Carbis Bay holidays responded well to help you. We have changed the batteries in the kitchen scales, and bought a mixing bowl and serving spoons. We hope you return soon. Property Owner

“A nice, stylish flat with comfy beds and good layout, with everything we needed to cook and stay for a week.”

We often couldn't get a signal on the t.v. and as the cottage isn't very close to amenities, we missed this. It would also be useful to have recent tourist information.

- Cath, May 2024

Thanks for staying in Sand Dunes and leaving a review. The apartment has very strong WI-FI so when the signal in the area is weak channels can be viewed through the internet as per the instructions left by the TV. Property Owner

“The 'Info Pack' states that rubbish bins must be put out on Thursday evenings which we did.”

On the Friday morning a note was left outside the appt door by another resident stating that we should NOT put them out as they are collected by a private company. Please update your info pack as very confusing.

“Wonderful apartment in superb location.”

Quiet, clean and spacious. We loved the walk down onto the lovely, sandy beach and the great train ride into St Ives. Everything you need within easy reach. We've loved our week here - we'll definitely book again.

“Apartment and its location was extremely pleasing however we weren't happy with the shower in the twin room.”

This has clearly seen it's best days and due to the lack of pressure, all had to use the main bedroom shower. Hoover didn't work so had to continually sweep the entire apartment. Overall a beautiful apartment but suggest the above is rectified in order for us to return.

- Leon, August 2023

Hi, Thanks for staying in the manor and taking time to leave a review. There are two hoovers in the apartment, the cordless handheld in the kitchen and also a "Henry Hoover" in the cupboard that was purchased this year. The shower unit in the second bedroom en suite has now been replaced. Property Owner

“I Sent pictures to you of dirty property that had not been property cleaned.”

I sent these details on Sunday 30/07/23. I had someone call me back on Thursday 3rd August offering to clean the property the next day, (Our last day of the weeks holiday). The hallway, (Communal area), smelt awful, (fusty, rotten cabbage, not very clean ) . I appreciate that it is a communal area, but even so. Also there was wet towels left in the washing Machine upon our arrival. The bed sheets were very worn and tired on the single beds. Disappointed that we had to pay an additional charge for a dog, when property was not properly cleaned. There was also a baby bottle lid left under the coffee table in the front room, which indicates that property was not cleaned property prior to our arrival. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. I have used Carbis Bay/ Sykes many times over the years and this has been one of the worst. Kind Regards

- Neil, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback and we apologise for the inconvenience caused with regards to the cleanliness. We want to assure you that this is not our usual standard as a different cleaner had to cover the changeover on this occasion. Unfortunately, we have not been able to resolve the reported issues straight away as they have been reported through a previous booking of yours. We are pleased that we were still able to pick up on this during your stay, so that we could reach out and offer you to resolve all reported issues as soon as we were aware. Please note that all bedding has been purchased newly for this season. With regards to the cleanliness of the communal areas, we will address the reported with the responsible management company to rectify the issue going forward. Again, we want to apologise and hope you still overall had a lovely time at Sand Dunes 6 The Manor. With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“Quiet, picturesque location a stones throw from the hustle and bustle of St Ives.”

Great apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, we appreciated the welcome goodies. Friendly area with lovely local walks and a dog friendly beach on the doorstep, train station too, just a few minutes walk from the apartment. Would recommend and we would love to return.

“The apartment was impeccably furnished and I had everything I needed to both work from 'home' as well as use it as a base for business travel.”

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners.... The apartment location is also perfect for exploring all that the area has to offer. St.Ives, Carbis Bay, Penzance and Land's End all within easy reach. I would also recommend a wee visit to the West Cornwall Golf Club just along the way...very welcoming & the home made pizzas are fabulous! I wouldn't hesitate to recomend this property! Oh & they laid on the best weather too.....that is quite the skill....and I'll be asking their secret!!!

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.
