“We loved our stay in Hepworth apartment at st Ives.”

Everything was comfortable and clean. There were only a few things that can be improved on. The proper cleaning of the bathroom sink was not done properly, on arrival the sink was not draining properly, this should have picked up by the cleaners. I had to remove loads of hair that was blocking the sink by taking the plug off. After that it was fine. Not a good impression using the bathroom on your arrival. Although private parking was great!

Everything was comfortable and clean. There were only a few things that can be improved on. The proper cleaning of the bathroom sink was not done properly, on arrival the sink was not draining properly, this should have picked up by the cleaners. I had to remove loads of hair that was blocking the sink by taking the plug off. After that it was fine. Not a good impression using the bathroom on your arrival. Although private parking was great! The markings and sign posts of the private parking need tidying up and clearer signs needed. This caused confusion for one other apartment user, thinking we were parked on his spot , which we weren’t and giving us some grieve about it. He even said he had to park in the public car park for a day ?! Personally I dint think that was necessary, his designated place was just not clear ! We had to remove some weeds etc to make it a bit clearer. All and all our stay was comfortable and the view from the house is breathtaking, so relaxing! If those few things I mentioned could be improved on it would have been perfect!

“Unfortunately during the week there was significant rain water ingress from the flats above us leading to loss of power to bathroom and staining to ceilings.”

The Sykes management sent a representative to confirm and a contractor to make temporary repairs. Shame really, we came home a day early

“The apartment is wonderful, clean and bright; there is a great view from the living room, the location is great, the kitchen well equipped, but the bathroom is a disaster: smells terrible, hot water is not working properly, the water drain needs to be maintained.”

The bathroom needs to be fixed.

“The apartment has wonderful views and is generously sized for St Ives.”

Unfortunately there was a leak in the bedroom from the apartment above when we stayed and based on the smell of damp and stains on the carpet prior to the leak we saw I don’t think this was the first time. When the leak happened someone from carbis bay holidays (CBH) did come out quickly with towels and 2 dehumidifiers and an extra bucket to collect the (yellow) water coming through the light fitting. We were told a plumber would be out that day and in the interim the people staying upstairs were asked not to use their bathroom directly above us. We then went out for the day which CBH said was fine because they have keys and would phone with an update. At about 5PM CBH phoned to say the plumber had not been able visit and would tomorrow. Upon our return later that evening we had to familiarise ourselves with the fuse box as we had no power… The apartment did have good instructions for this. The following morning a plumber did arrive and after a brief chat about the electricity going the previous day, he confirmed he had a key to let himself in etc if we went out and he would pass on to CBH about the electric and get them to provide an update to us. Off we went. When we returned that evening the door to our apartment was open… At this point I felt very annoyed. All of our possessions were in the living area, having felt compelled to move them to avoid the leak splashing on to them (the water was splashing all over the wardrobe) so somehow that made our stuff feel more vulnerable. Fortunately nothing was taken… There was no further update from CBH. We purchased some febreeze to try and reduce the smell. I actively tried to not let this dominate our holiday and fully understand leaks happen and are often unavoidable. However, on reflection of the week I would have expected at least 1 further update from CBH about how the leak had been resolved and what caused the water to be yellow, an apology it happened, and an attempt or offer by them to clean the area. If this had not happened I genuinely think the apartment is very nice and the only improvements I would have suggested are looking at the water pressure (which is very low) and replacing the carpet in the bedroom. It is overall a very nice, well equipped apartment.

“Purely feedback; Shower head needs attention, it won’t stay in upright position.”

Freezer needs defrosting. Great location, really nice apartment, happy with parking space. Nice little base to stay at.

Thank you for your feedback. We have reported these points to the necessary departments to look into. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

Stephen September 2022

“Had a wonderful time at the Hepworth apartment and St Ives.”

Property had everything we needed and was ideally placed to get to the town provided you didn't mind a fairly steep climb. Very comfortable indeed. Only issue was a problem with the shower drain which was dealt with within a couple of hours from the time of reporting it. Will definitely be returning next year.

- Stephen, September 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Hepworth Apartment and we are so pleased to hear you had a wonderful time. We look forward to welcoming you back again next year. Best wishes, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“The property itself was lovely, the location was good but finding the property was a nightmare, the postcode took us to the car park at the top of the road, the property itself only had one sign on the outside saying cherished cottages, no mention of Sykes cottages let alone Hepworth apartments.”

We walked around for over an hour asking local residents if they could help. If it wasn’t for a cleaner overhearing our struggles we don’t know what we would of done. I rang the Sykes helpline twice to just be given directions into st Ives itself. This was the only negative of our stay.

- David, August 2022

“The heated towel rail didn’t work, therefore there wasn’t anywhere to dry towels.”

The carpet in the bedroom is very worn & could do with changing. No electric shaver/toothbrush point. The location of the property is brilliant & has fabulous views.

- Liz, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and views from the apartment. We are sorry you were unable to use the towel rail. It is working and instructions for use are in the property guide, alternatively we are always available for any queries during your stay 01736 630015 option 2.

“We had a fab week and would probably come again one day.”

Some constructive minor points to help improve the experience: Pull up blind in bay window broken. Curtains need adjustment to close without yanking. Bulb missing from bedside lamp. The instruction book needs sorting out, instructions on refuse/recycling are poor. The wifi went off several times for several hours, we eventually guessed it was in the first floor flat and the occupants kindly performed a reset. It would have helped to know that you could reverse down to the flat for loading/unloading. Sykes email font in pale grey was a poor choice when it came to printing. This is all trivial stuff though, we had a great time!

- Nicholas, July 2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave Feedback following your recent stay at Hepworth Apartment and we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed a fab week.

Anthea June 2022

“We loved the apartment apart from two minor details, the waste basket in the bedroom had a lot of hair in it.”

...wasn’t mine! Also, there were cobwebs behind the dressing table in the bedroom. Otherwise, it was lovely. The car parking should be reviewed........ it is very steep to the property. And should be better. Why can’t the booking include a permit for a week in the Barnoon car park? The parking space was very narrow and we only just fitted in. Although it was only a seven minute walk, it was all uphill, and not what we thought.

- Anthea, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you loved the apartment, apart from the two minor details, our apologies, we have reported this to the housekeeper. The owners are pleased to be able to offer parking to their guests, as parking in St Ives is extremely sought after, with most car parks full (including permit spaces) Kindest Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team.

Julie June 2022

“Property was clean, but on a negative looked a bit tired.”

The transparent blind in the bedroom meant waking up at 4am, a simple remedy would be to install a blackout blind. There was also no Wi-Fi although advertised as having it. I think these simple small changes would enhance the customer experience enormously. On the positive the views were amazing!

- Julie, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have taken your comments on board and reported to the necessary departments. In regards to the Wifi, the property has wifi available which has always been at Hepworth Apartment, the router can be located in the main bedroom. If you have any queries like this during your stay please contact the local office on 01736 630015 option 2, and one of the local team will be able to assist you straight away. Thank you again for your comments and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“In the kitchen smaller glasses would have been appreciated.”

In the bathroom sunken panel in the floor could be a trip hazard. Having two sets of instructions was confusing. On the whole we had a really enjoyable holiday, the views were amazing and we love St Ives.

- Helen, April 2022
Kevin March 2022

“The property was very difficult to find, we only found it by noticing the gate by matching with the photograph.”

The property was lovely had everything we wanted and had nice little touches with milk, apple juice left for us. The bathroom had nice touches also. Great location with stunning views. Its very obvious the property has been done to a high standard, but lots of little things haven’t been finished off.

- Kevin, March 2022

Dear Mr Eynon, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the location and views and that the property had everything you wanted. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kindest Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

The property

This one-bedroom, ground-floor apartment overlooks St Ives, at Tate Reach, in the Barnoon area, and enjoys far-reaching harbour and sea views from the lounge and terrace, as well as easy access to Tate St Ives, the town centre, the St Ives scenic railway, and Porthmeor Beach, which are all just a short walk away.

This pet-friendly hideaway sleeps two people and can accommodate a medium-sized dog.

It's excellent for a romantic getaway with your dog.

This idyllic apartment, which is part of a granite faced Victoria house, has been lovingly renovated to retain many of its original features, including lovely high ceilings and a bay window that lets in natural light and enjoys a wonderful view across the roof tops of St Ives, harbour and island, which can be enjoyed throughout the open plan living space, which consists of a kitchen, dining and sitting area, where two plush leather sofas are perfectly positioned to relax while soaking up the views.

A romantic eating space has been placed within the bay window, great for two.

Take a seat at the vintage table with a glass of wine and marvel over the stunning Cornish perspective that many restaurants would enjoy.

The open plan living space to the back features a contemporary kitchen with fitted modern units and sleek black granite look worktops, as well as a separate washer/dryer located in half of the bedroom wardrobe, offering everything you need in your home away from home.

This pleasant bedroom is open and airy, bathed by natural light through a window, and features a sumptuously dressed double bed and plenty of storage space.

It is positioned off the hallway to the rear and benefits from a private en-suite wet room with refreshing rainfall shower and underfloor heating.

A communal seaward facing patio is entered by the front door, with a bistro table and two chairs located in a fenced off area, ideal for an alfresco coffee with a breath-taking view across the roof tops and St Ives bay.

A public shower in the front courtyard is perfect for washing off sandy wetsuits, muddy paws, or muddy boots, and a lockable shop on the side of the house has body boards for visitors to use as well as storage for beach gear.

The nearby Porthmeor Beach has a seasonal lifeguard service and has been awarded a blue flag for its crystal-clear waters, so why not try out its surf school or have a meal at its beachside café, which is set right on the beach, like the Michelin Plate restaurant found at Porthminster Beach, Porthminster Beach Café, or the plethora of eateries found around the harbour and town, which offer menus to delight any foodie, featuring fresh sea food and local produce, Some of St Ives' smaller beaches are pet friendly all year, but the larger ones have restrictions.

Walk along the South West Coast Path to Porthkidney Beach, which is pet friendly all year and has a long stretch of golden sand.

Take a relaxing ride back on the scenic railway, which connects the surrounding area and runs alongside the Cornish coast.

Book a show at the Minack Theatre, near Land's End, which is carved out of a Cornish cliff edge with the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop, or watch the sun set over the majestic St Michaels Mount, a castle set on its own island, near Penzance, or take a stroll through Trebah, a sub-tropical paradise with a stunning coastal backdrop, near Falmouth, for a romantic night out.

Discover historic tin mines, secret coves, and picturesque harbours, don't forget your camera.

Maybe television shows like Doc Martin, Poldark, or films like Fisherman's Friends inspired your vacation to Cornwall, many of its filming locations can be appreciated.

Barbara Hepworth is one of a famous group of artists who were inspired by St Ives, and this aptly named flat provides the ideal base to learn why this gorgeous Cornish town has won so many hearts.
