Moonbeams

Beautiful location and the house could be stunning but it is tired and in need of a revamp.

Some furniture is old and shabby, carpet in main bedroom stained as well as a stained mattress Blind in lounge fits the centre of the window only and the dining room is dull cold and dismal Outside area needs tidying and a good clean. Great shame as it could be fabulous, we won’t be returning

First thing that I would like to say is that we adore this house.

It's our second year of coming. We absolutely love it. That being said there is a lot that needs doing. And I'm only saying this so that the owner can show the love for this house that we have. The sofa is dirty , the carpets need a good clean, there needs to be a chest to put in the spare cushions , so they're not just sat in the lounge, the door in the lounge has a metal plate on the bottom.That is being kept together by tape. This is not acceptable. The pond is not a pond.It's been left to ruin, the Amount of broken tiles a massive change from the year before.I think we saw maybe 3 or 4 this year there were so many more. The light in the lounge is missing parts. The light in the dining room is very dim. You need more lights. The duvet in the bottom bedroom is all stained. The cover is fine. The drainage in the downstairs bedroom is not working properly and is flooding the bathroom floor. Also , getting a smell of sewage from time to time after use. This amazing house is in the perfect location the views from this house are magnificent. We just really want the owner to love it as much as we did, it really is a spectacular property.Just needs a bit of love. We were very sad to say goodbye and unable to book again next year. We hope to come back again one day.

the property has a fantastic outlook but is letdown by poor mantanance the sower in the down stairs disabled bedroom flooded because the waist water trapsneeded cleaning as with the sinks the plug was missing in the sink as the property is on the market for £2.

500 000 I would have thought It would Been kept up to a beter standard

Amazing house in an amazing location.

The children had a dream holiday!

Moonbeams is in a great location with stunning views.

We had a great stay. However it is a bit tired and could benefit from some time and a little money being spent on it. We had to call the maintenance man out a couple of times. The management company were very good and dealt with issues straightaway. I'm a chef and we ate in most evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and it helps having Tesco very closeby. If it was my house, I would definitely re design the kitchen layout. It is not practical having the oven immediately opposite the refrigerator in the narrowest part of the kitchen. There is too many unnecessary cupboards and don't see the point of having the tv in the kitchen, particularly as it doesn't work and hasn't been working for some time reading other reviews. A better up-to-date information folder is needed with maybe a bus and train timetable.

The property is situated in the most amazing place with the absolute wonderful view, plenty of parking, near all amenities and short walk to the beach.

We required it for a brides wedding party taking place at carbis bay hotel and it ticked all boxes, everything needed for our party, plenty of cutlery, crockery pots and pans, some comfy beds and sofas and the lay out suited us all with bedrooms on multiple floors. That said yes sadly the house is starting to become a little tired and requiring some TLC, some very nasty stains on some of the carpets and many cracked floor tiles, some of the bedroom furniture needs a lick of paint and many of the windows and patio doors don’t close very well or close at all just some love and attention is now required. But bed linen is clean and crisp, plenty of fluffy towels but no little extras which is always appreciated on arrival no hand soap or any welcome pack, or friendly welcome note the house is quite sparse, some rooms not homely at all but that said just for the view and location alone is worth it and it delivered all what we required of it.

A 3 night stay for a surprise family gathering to celebrate a significant birthday for my wife, the house is fabulous, spacious, and very comfortable.

The one thing I wanted was for my Wife to say WOW!! when she saw (a) the family waiting at the house for the surprise and (2) another WOW!! when she saw the property and that incredible view, that has got to be one of the best views in Carbis Bay and beyond, so a third WOW!! from me, we would return in a heartbeat, Thankyou. The only suggestion / observation I would make is to provide a couple more oven trays, I could only find one (unless I missed them) and the outside window frame on the top floor needs urgent attention as the wood is badly rotted, allowing the wind to whistle through.

We book a holiday home every year.

And we always discuss it afterwards. And at the moment, moon beams has been our favourite. We loved everything about it. The only thing we would have liked is an extra key as we only had one. The house is lovely.The views works exquisite.We were very sad to leave.

Second time here and we love it!

Great house, fantastic location with access to beach, bars, walk or train into St Ives. All that let it down was no facility for recycling bottles, card, plastics etc - you are expected to drive it to the Council recycling centre yourself rather than put it into boxes for on-street collection!? We didn't have time (as we were on holiday!) so brought 2 bin liners of recycling home with us :(

Great location with superb vuews , lovely spacious house apart from the it needs some TLC and the oven isn’t very good at all and takes ages to cook anything !

!

Stunning place would definitely revisit again

Location was excellent.

The floor layout and views are stunning. However, the property is in dire need of maintenance. It looked very "tired" with cobwebs and dirty glass on patios, rotten window frames and cracked tiles (hallways etc) and uneven paving to patios). Some mastic to showers etc was mouldy.

Extremely disappointed with Moonbeams.

The location and views are exceptional, however the attention to detail, maintenance, and health and safety leave a lot to be desired. Certainly not worth the money we paid for our stay. Will be writing with issues, supported with photographic evidence, and suggestions to improve this property.

We had a fab holiday here.

Location super. View of beach and sea stunning. House perfect size for number of people that can stay. Plenty of utensils etc in kitchen. Great that a whole pile of beach towels provided (we didn’t use them but a lovely touch - perhaps that could be added to info when booking so you don’t bring your own - unless it was and I missed it). A lovely touch leaving the biscuits and bag to keep. It came in very handy. We would recommend it without a doubt. But we do feel there are one or two things that need addressing and know that you will already be aware as they’ve been mentioned in reviews. The main one for us was the lounge balcony area floor. It needs fixing. It’s dangerous. We covered the broken tiles with a mat for the week so no one tripped or cut their feet/paws. The picnic table needs a lick of paint to tidy it up and make it cleaner. Clearer instructions in folder regarding rubbish days. It just says bag up rubbish and put in wheelie bin for Friday collection. We didn’t know which bin to use. I looked it up on Cornwall council site and date matched with black bin. When we left, the locals had brown and blue bins out. Also, on arrival all recycle boxes, bags were full (overflowing) at side of garage. We had nowhere to put our things from day one of the holiday. Other than that, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the setting for the house was a big part of this. Thank you.

Beautiful house and great location, only issues were facilities were a bit worn.

For instance the showers didn't drain well, floor tiles on balcony were broken. But had a lovely week at moonbeams.

Firstly the positives - We had a great week with glorious weather, lovely house, very spacious with exceptional views, However various items let it down - firstly and most important were the broken tiles on the balcony outside the lounge this was a health and safety issue and has been mentioned in a previous comment but unfortunately this has been ignored, this needs to be reported before someone gets hurt.

the other items are all small and could be addressed easily - Seating on the downstairs patio only seats 8 - the table in the conservatory only seats 6 the patio furniture on the upstairs balcony only seats 8 this is a house for 10 guests. no roasting tins of any description, lots of small/medium pans but only one large pan so would have to use 3 pans for mashed potatoes for 10 - our welcome pack was 1 pint of milk and a few sachets of tea and coffee not enough for everyone to have a drink. This could be a stunning house with a little bit of TLC

I think the property was great, spacious, comfortable.

Only missing item, though small is quite useful that would be foil and cling film. Especially foil to line oven trays etc.

Excellent accommodation for a large family group.

Stunning views, great location, plenty of space and very comfortable.

Tiles broken in living room towards balcony also broken tiles elsewhere inside and out lots of trip hazards, kitchen cupboard doors damaged, a strong smell of sewage in the kitchen and the front single bedroom, shower traps filthy throughout the bathrooms, Pillows dirty, Cleaner didn't leave until 4:10 and we had to sit in our vehicles and wait for them to finish?

WE had to de-weed and clean the balcony to be able to sit and enjoy, The property is a nice property and is situated in a very nice position, however needs some updating, and a good clean especially a good jet washing outside and bit of TLC. The property could also do with fencing at either side of property to allow your paying dog to roam without being leashed especially as the front gates are missing except the small side gate which is obvious to me that it is not intentionally missing, and some bare necessitys such as dog water bowl etc.. (these are basic things which all other property we have stayed at over the past 18years have included x3 times per year)

Great space and excellent facilities.

Let down by a few issues. The balcony spaces need cleaning and repair to the tiles as some are a definite trip hazard. The loft room balcony was flooded after it rained as the drain is blocked and has weeds growing in it. The views are amazing though. The bedrooms are spacious and each have an en-suite with shower or bath. Lots of storage for clothes etc. There are 3 TVs but the kitchen one had a remote that didn’t work properly. The dining room is a good size but desperately needs better lighting in there. We had to move a lamp from the lounge. As already mentioned, rest of the facilities within the house are very good. The location is perfect, within walking distance of the main road and supermarket and also the beach. The parking at the front of the house is plentiful and would easily take 3 cars. I’d certainly stay at Moonbeams again but would hope that the small issues had been rectified.

The holiday property is beautifully positioned above the bay with spectacular views.

Very spacious with beautiful floors and bathrooms. Everything you would need for a memorable holiday in West Cornwall.
