“A lovely, comfortable apartment with a wonderful sea view.”

Check in was very straight forward and the convenience of the parking space was great. The passes to use the Harbour Hotel's Spa were appreciated on a rainy afternoon! A convenient location for the beach, restaurants, shops and galleries. A super holiday!

Margaret September 2022

“A lovely property, which we would recommend.”

There were some little housekeeping niggles - in the kitchen there was a virtually empty bottle of washing up liquid and a hand soap with a broken dispenser. We also noticed that the extractor fan in the bathroom of the double bedroom didn't seem to work - and the light bulb over the bath went on and off periodically.

- Margaret, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had a few niggle during your stay. We have passed these on to the housekeeping team. If you have any issues 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. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Jonn September 2022

“Very nice apartment within easy reach of the town centre, which was about 10 minutes walk (quite hilly) and great facilities throughout.”

View across the bay is really nice, with the outside space being reasonably private as well. Would definitely stay here again. Only downside was the parking we had some issues due to either being blocked in or blocked out of space - sorted quickly all but one time.

- Jonn, September 2022

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the area! we are sorry to hear that you had a few issues with parking but glad things were sorted quickly. 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
Ivon September 2022

“Waters Edge feedback.”

Toilets were dirty. Welcome pack very strange, milk, chocolate buttons, apple juice, few coffee and tea bags. Balcony furniture past it’s sell by date, mentioned this last time we stayed. Sand under rugs in living room. Parking space constantly blocked.

- Ivon, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we will address the toilets and the sand under the rug in the living room with the housekeeping team. We will speak to St Ives Harbour Hotel to ask them not to block any of the cars in undercover parking space. The welcome pack includes a Jute Bag, choclate buttons, apple juice, tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits and a starter milk. Since the sad closing of Ferrells bakery we have not been able to offer the freshly made scones and have had to switch across to biscuits instead so we are sorry for any disappointment caused. We will also attend and take photos of the balcony furniture to send to the owner so they can act and order replacements where necessary. If you do have any concerns or queries during your stay, please do feel free to call us on 01736 630015 (option 2) as we are very happy to help. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“We all very much enjoyed our incredibly comfortable stay at this well equipped, spacious and beautifully decorated apartment.”

The views were amazing, every need was taken care of and the location is superb. We’re hoping to come back at some point next year if it’s available. Thank you!

Ivon May 2022

“Our only comment is that the garden furniture on the external terrace was very uncomfortable to say the least.”

Comfortable reclining chairs would be worth adding. The bench seat with thin cushions is well past it’s best. Given the outstanding views and good weather we spent a lot of time on the terrace. Otherwise great holiday accommodation and will visit again. Ivon & Angie Blumer.

- Ivon, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback and thank you for your constructive comments, these have been taken on board and reported to the necessary departments to look into. We are so pleased that you loved the apartment and views. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“We had a fabulous stay and the apartment was lovely - very spacious and well-equipped, with lovely views.”

My only criticism is that the bed was hard and unforgiving.

Paul November 2021

“Waters edge is a beautiful apartment set to a very high spec with stunning views Every where was very clean except we were very disappointed to find a used greasy baking tray left in the oven.”

The only little downside was that the sofa’s were a little uncomfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and wouldn’t hesitate in going again

- Paul, November 2021

Dear Paul, thank you for your Feedback following your recent stay at Waters Edge and we’re so pleased to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your holiday and the stunning views from the apartment.

Annette October 2021

“Apartment was lovely but several things need attention in particular the towels were not clean one was unusable.”

When stripping bed mattress protector could do with washing. Cutlery holder in drawer had hairs in and had to be washed. Several plates were chipped and need replacing. Sofa was uncomfortable and to low for older guests.

- Annette, October 2021

Dear Mrs Holland, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback to us. We would like to assure you that these points have been passed to the housekeeper for Water's Edge and will be actioned. Once again, we hope you had a wonderful holiday and we look forward to inviting you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Maxine October 2021

“Lovely apartment with everything you could need for a comfortable holiday.”

We have stayed in Peninsula apartments before but this was the first time in this apartment. Great for walking into the town & always good to have parking space. We had a lovely relaxing week.

- Maxine, October 2021
David September 2021

“The common areas in the property were not cleaned while we were there.”

We appreciate this is not in your control but did detract from the pleasure of entering the building. We were unable to operate the switches over the bathroom doors without having to stand on a chair - not so easy for 80 year olds! We have booked for next year!

- David, September 2021

Dear Mr Woodward, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback on your recent stay at Waters Edge. We are sorry to hear that you didn't find the communal areas clean. We understand from our property team we gave you reaching aid to be able to operate the bathroom towel rail switch and extractor, we hope this helped. We hope you enjoyed your stay and look forward to inviting you back next year. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Sarah July 2021

“Lovey apartment with an array of facilities.”

Beautiful views from the balcony and private. Great location , central. Perfect distance to the beach. The only troublesome part was the car parking and although we had an allocated space people kept parking inappropriately in front of it and we had to continue to ask the hotel for help. The hotel staff were great but it did sometimes make you not want to “dare” to move the car and go out! Other than that it was a really wonderful place to stay and I’m sure we will be back!! It was a pleasure to stay in the apartment and we enjoyed our time there in such a gorgeous location. Thank you to all who work hard to make this apartment available for holiday makers!

“"Waters Edge is lovely apartment, clean, spacious and modern.”

It is well equipped, has 2 nice bathrooms with good showers over the baths. The apartment is stylish with internal decoration to a high standard and has a welcoming feel to it. Waters Edge has a good view of Porthminster Beach, but as the balcony is North facing it doesn’t get direct sunlight, only at sunrise which is great to wake up to. The balcony is looking a little tired and unloved... New patio furniture and a deck clean would make all the difference. Peninsula apartments are in an unrivalled position overlooking Porthminster Beach and are convenient for all amenities in St Ives. They also offer the great advantage of access to the Harbour Hotel Spa for the duration of your stay. I highly recommend Peninsula Apartments and will definitely return. "

“"We had a brilliant holiday at Waters Edge.”

The apartment had beautiful views from the large balcony. Inside was clean and well equipped. The en-suite bathroom was huge as were the rooms. The children enjoyed the Xbox and the huge range of games provided. It is very close to a beautiful beach; it was nice to wake to the sound of the waves. We would definitely consider coming back in the future."
