Belyars Penthouse

Apartment was very clean with a fantastic view looking over the bays.

The kitchen was well equipped with quality modern appliances. The apartment block was well maintained and only a 7 minute walk into the centre of st ives

Das Appartement ist wunderschön!

Es ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, hat eine tolle Ausstattung und liegt fußläufig ca. 12 Minuten von St. Ives Zentrum entfernt. Der Blick auf das Meer und die Stadt ist überwältigend und der Parkplatz vor der Haus machte den Aufenthalt hier einfach perfekt!

We had a wonderful time, the apartment is fantastic in terms of location, comfort and the views are fantastic.

The only negative for us is that the mattresses could do with an upgrade but we would definitely return.

Absolutely first class property, everything you need and more.

Just one thing that needs looked at the taps in the ensuite were very hard to turn on and the one in the main bathroom you had to hit it hard on top to stop it dripping when turned off. Building work wasn’t a problem next door the boys were very respectful. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

This is a very nice apartment extremely well finished & presented.

Its hard to be critical but in order to provide feedback our only comments are below. The master bedroom ensuite is snug but functional but the sink tap is stiff & needs pressure to stop water running. Also it is unclear if the extraction is working? We couldn't see a switch or pullcord & heard no noise from the fan, maybe we missed it. There are some pretty extensive building works ongoing to the adjacent property. This is of course out of the owners control but in better weather it would inhibit sitting on the balcony. We didn't adjust the thermostat but the apartment was a little warm at times. The kitchen was very well stocked with new equipment, pots & pans etc. The only thing we couldn't find was a chopping board but again maybe we missed this as we mostly ate out. We would certainly stay at Belyars again but preferably when the aforementioned building work is complete to the adjacent plot. This probably isn't far off as this may well be holiday accommodation too so they will want to make available for the summer season.

A fabulous apartment in a great location.

Only have two concerns. The master en-suite is too small, barely functional and the beds are not to the same high standard as the rest of the property. Quite uncomfortable, but this is very subjective and they may be fine for others.

Lovely property which is perfectly located in St Ives with a stunning view

Fab we were more than satisfied and would definitely consider booking with Sykes in the future.

First two nights sleep ruined by extractor fan box going off in main bedroom.

Had to ring 4 times to get this sorted. No one rang me at any point . Feel should have been told pre arrival about the major building works going on next door No second key a faff We have stayed here numerous times and property is nice but this stay was less enjoyable.

Great, clean, well appointed apartment.

Good location and amazing views. Only downside.. it is very warm. It was about 17-18 degrees during the day whilst we were there and it was very warm on a night, the fans made little difference. Take extra fans! Also no idea how to get in the bin store. Would stay again and would recommend. Thank you!

The property was fantastic.

Simple booking process, great price and easy to follow directions. There can't be many places close to the center of St. Ives with dedicated parking and fantastic views that are better than this. We also bumped into the cleaners who were super friendly and helpful.

Having stayed in one of the Salt apartments just down the road, our expectations of the penthouse apartment was high.

I was very disappointed that having paid nearly £1800 for the week that: 1. The apartment definitely needs Air conditioning

A lovely, clean, smart and modern apartment with everything needed.

Everything was perfect for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The open plan kitchen area is bright and spacious with wonderful views of St Ives and the surrounding area.

We have stayed in this block of apartments before but not in ‘The Penthouse’ so I knew what to expect.

Happily the apartment met my expectations and we had a thoroughly pleasant stay. The bed was comfy and all the furnishings were of an excellent standard and it was a welcome rest bite from the worst weather we have encountered in St Ives in 20 years! Thank you to the team at Caribs Bay holidays.

This is our second stay at this apartment.

The view over St Ives bay is beautiful. However since our first stay the double bed has worn and we found it quite uncomfortable despite the multiple mattress toppers. The spec of the rest of the flat is very high so may be worth upgrading the bed. Other than that we had a lovely time staying here.. good location, facilities, sky tv. Would stay again .

Really beautiful property, well equiped and clean.

The views are stunning and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. We were lucky to have glorious weather during our stay, so it could get quite warm in the apartment, but the fans supplied in the rooms really helped keep it cool overnight. We had a lovely holiday.

Beautiful location, well equipped apartment with stunning views across St Ives.

Felt the walk down to the beaches were easy reachable and myself doing early walks around really help me get my bearings. St Ives is hilly with lots of steps but worth the visit just take your time. So many shops (my wife and twin boys have cealiac gluten allergies) which caters so well for everyone. Best fish and chips, gluten and normal is Becks in Carbis bay, worth the 5 minute drive and 20 minute wait in que…trust me. The apartment has fantastic view across St Ives and as mentioned is well equipped with fluffy towels and a set of beach towels. Kitchen is also well equipped however we took our coffee maker and this would be a nice touch to add to the facilities. Apartment is well maintained and very clean and classy. Downside. I had 2 13 yrs boys, WiFi was very ropey when we were all on, again worth owners upgrading for a small cost. As a glass frontage can get very hot and balmy at night, take fans, was a challenge sleeping even with fans provided. Likely an isolated incident but the en-suite was stinking, we hardly used it, reported it so hopefully it will get fixed. Also there is a machine that recognises condensation in both bathrooms. One was broke ruined our night (all night) with irruption of clicking for about 30 seconds at a time at Radom times, kept us awake all night one night which was too much. Again killed about a day and a half but once reported staff were superb. So any issues please report. Found it easy to find, and parking was okay. Tesco is Caribs bay about 1mile away 5 minutes in car or larger Asda in Hayle 10 minutes. Loved the stay. Shame about some issues but wouldn’t put us of coming back to St Ives and this penthouse.

We really enjoyed the apartment, stunning views and great size for a family of 4.

Great location however there is a steep walk back from the town and two flights of stairs to get up to the apartment so not great for someone with mobility issues. The rooms were nicely presented upon arrival. A couple of issues to point out, the cleaner and maintenance man were still in the apartment when we arrived at 4pm and the lights in the main bedroom kept dimming uncontrollably. That aside, would visit again and overall happy with our stay.

Very smart, clean, modern, colour-coordinated apartment with Sky TV which was appreciated as we were able to watch various matches from the French Open tennis!

Nothing bad to say except for the fact there were 2 flights of stairs which is ok apart from hauling cases up on first day and down again on last day - but were told prior to booking that there was no lift. Also very steep hills going down into the town. We found it best to walk up to the Leisure Centre and then catch a bus to the beach or into town. Would suit fit couples or a family with two school age children - no pushchairs!

Lovely apartment in a good location with beautiful view across the bay.

Clean and sell maintained. Instructions provided were clear and concise. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This was our second stay in Belyars Penthouse.

It’s a beautiful apartment, very bright, modern and spacious with fantastic views of the sea. There is a balcony you can sit out on although it wasn’t quite warm enough while we were there, even so it was nice to just stand out on it and appreciate the stunning views. The apartment is well equipped with just about everything you need, including a smart TV which has Netflix on it. It’s quite a steep walk from St Ives up to the apartment (only about ten minutes) but well worth the walk. It might be difficult for those with mobility issues though. St Ives itself is a really pretty little town and the apartment is really well located to enjoy it. We will definitely book again.

We had a wonderful holiday in St Ives and all enjoyed staying in the Belyars Penthouse.

My only piece of negative feedback is about the windows and doors. In particular, the difficulty in snecking the balcony door meant we often went out or went to bed with the balcony door off the latch. No great security risk, but this needs looking at. We also got a parking ticket while parked legitimately outside. Apart from this, an amazing apartment in a great location in a wonderful place.

We had a brilliant weeks stay at belyars penthouse.

The views across the sea are amazing in a morning where you can enjoy a coffee on the balcony. The apartment is clean and spacious, however it can be quiet warm during the day so the fans supplied in the apartment are needed. It comes equipped with all the facilities needed and appliances are easy to use should you want to cook whilst on holiday. The location is good, about a 10 minute walk to the town centre, however the hill the apartment is situated on is quite steep so may not be suitable for people with mobility issues, but buses run regularly and stop outside the building. Overall we have had a brilliant holiday and would definitely book this penthouse again. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in St.Ives.

Beautiful apartment and the views were amazing, the apartment needs a proper clean lots of cobwebs everywhere other than that it was lovely

An excellent stay in a high quality apartment.

Great views of the sea and pretty easy to walk into St Ives (unless you have mobility issues). Nice size bedrooms and very good bathrooms for the size of property. Very comfortable lounge, with all the mod cons. The balcony was excellent. My only worry would be with possible parking problems when all flats were being rented - unclear where you would then need to park and whether it would cost you.

This is a well appointed, impressive, contemporay styled property with a stunning view over St Ives Bay.

We enjoyed a comfortable stay. Where we did identifiy and report concerns they were quickly and effectively dealt with by Cameron and Jess at Carbis Bay Holidays. In order to raise standards further we would suggest that the stairway alarms are tested regularly by the property management company These matters are apparently not the responsibility of the letting agent. Despite this, CBH acted decisively to resolve the issue. Secondly,.we would recommned that the outside of the sea facing windows are cleaned before each tenancy. (It is understood that seagulls are local nusiance to many visitors!)

We had a lovely week in the apartment .

We found it to be really comfortable & fulfilled our expectations. No expense spared . We struggled with the key safe ? There are quite a few & it’s not immediately obvious which is for the apartment , S5 is on a couple of key boxes . The mark down on cleanliness was for the bottom of the coffee table was dirty , I cleaned it when I was wiping down before leaving & there was a lot of dust , cobwebs on the window structures . I would happily book this property again , just for that view .

There were a number of problems: 1) We could not locate the key safe on arrival because it was not labelled correctly.

We had to get assistance from the local office. The person who came out to help could also not locate the key safe until he did so by a process of elimination (there were around 10 key safes). 2) Body hair on bathroom floor, food in cutlery drawers. 3) No parking permit provided - we have been fined £60 for parking at the accommodation. 4) No response to emails until the Thursday morning. An offer to clean the flat on Thursday came too late - we had already been there since the Saturday. 5) No response to request that the cost of parking in a public car park is covered in the absence of the parking permit. 6) No response to emails about parking permit. 7) No response from text message to housekeeper.

We thought the apartment was very nice, tastefully and comfortably furnished, the kitchen was very well equipped and the view was fantastic.

Just a few minor things we would like to point out. In the main bedroom, one of the bedside lamps did not work. In the second bedroom, one of the drawers was not clean and the toilet in the main bathroom was dusty. Also, in the second bedroom, there is a lack of shelf storage, as one of the cupboards is locked. The majority of the cars that were parked at the apartment were relatively large and we thought that most of the parking spots were really tight. Whilst we generally strip the beds when we leave a holiday apartment, we did not like the fact that we were required to do it. We also did not like the very late check-in time and the very early check-out time. Still, we had a great time and would definitely recommend the apartment.

Lovely apartment - clean, modern, spacious enough for a family of 4 and an amazing view.

Short walk into town/beach - the view from the apartment makes the walk back up the hill worth it! Nice that blankets are provided for use on the balcony if it gets a bit chilly. Could do with a few more plates/bowls etc but this is a minor thing. If you are thinking about staying here - just book it - you will have a great time.

This is a beautiful apartment that has been furnished to a very high standard.

The beds are comfortable, the bedding and towels of a really good quality and is equipped with everything you could need. My only criticism would be that the washer dryer is exceptionally noisy so you can’t hear the TV when it’s on and the the dryer really doesn’t dry the clothes at all. It would be useful to have a larger airier for 4 people as drying the towels was almost impossible as it would only fit 1 on. It’s in a great location and about a 15 minute stroll to town however the walk is down a very steep hill and so would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We would definitely stay here again but maybe bring our own towels too so we didn’t have to try and wash/dry those there after a day on the beach.

We Would highly recommend this property.

We arrived early after a long journey and I called the office to see if the apartment was ready before the 5pm time! We were able to get access a couple of hours earlier and the apartment didn’t disappoint! The apartment was amazing, very spacious, clean great location and perfect for our family of four! Great location, only 7 mins from the centre of St Ives and beach. The only thing that I would suggest is to make sure that you book all your restaurants well in advance as St Ives was super busy! We booked cellar bistro and the Firehouse restaurants that were both amazing! Can’t wait to come back to St Ives …

Enjoyed every minute Weather so warm.

Apartment did get hot but appreciated the fans:-)

I contacted carbis bay holidays 4 times - no one got back to me until I kept ringing.

Place is very small - not as described. It needs tlc. Guttering needs all repairing. Derelict building next door. Building with. Dirty balcony. Still waiting an outcome. Would not recommend

Excellent apartment

This apartment has very good views over the harbour the inside is decorated and presented immaculately. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and the complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks and sweets were a nice touch the house keeper who greeted us who was a very helpful nice lady also brought us some milk to get us started until we had chance to go shopping. Our daughter found the twin room very comfortable and was pleased she had the main bathroom to herself as our double had an ensuite. Lots of big fluffy towels provided and the beds and all linen were very comfortable. The apartment is just a ten minute walk into town but it is on quite a steep hill but this is worth the extra effort for the lovely view. We were highly impressed and would definitely book again.
