“We spent a lovely few days at Louies Loft.”

The apartment was tasteful, comfortable, warm and had everything we needed, not to mention those spectacular sea views! Previous guests have mentioned parking, but there is very reasonable parking at Porthmeor Beach and Island car parks, both within a few minutes walk.

The apartment was tasteful, comfortable, warm and had everything we needed, not to mention those spectacular sea views! Previous guests have mentioned parking, but there is very reasonable parking at Porthmeor Beach and Island car parks, both within a few minutes walk. The only downside was the fact that the promised access door from the property directly onto the beach has been nailed shut and boarded up for the winter. Sykes Cottages do not mention this in the property spec, and when I queried it, stated they did not know the door is closed and that it is not their responsibility to know! My suggestion of a small goodwill discount for this lack of communication and inconvenience caused was met by Sykes with a flat-out refusal. It rather soured our experience despite the beautiful accommodation. So please do be aware, if the beach access (on this popular surfers beach) is important to you - you.

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the apartment and it had everything you needed. We do apologies the private beach access door was closed during your stay, this was closed by the property management team of the development. The door has been closed for winter due to the bad weather conditions. Despite this we do hope you had a wonderful holiday and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“Amazing apartment,stunning views the only issue for me was the parking,we struggled to find 24hr parking probley as a suggestion put a map on your website to show were the car parks are.”

After driving 6-7 hrs you don't want to spend another hr trying to find a parking space.

“A delightful couple of days, £700 for two nights, isn’t cheap but the view and situ is what you pay for, totally glorious and in sunny weather too.”

We hope to return.

“Really enjoyed our 7 night stay in this beautiful property.”

We have stayed in many holiday lets around St Ives and this has to be the BEST location and view we’ve had. The sliding doors and balcony are something very special and it made our holiday to wake up to the sand and sea each morning. The apartment is very small and compact but has everything you could need in terms of comfort. The storage space was very well thought out and apart from long hanging wardrobe space we had everything we needed to put all our belongings away without feeling cluttered. The kitchen is really well equipped with dishwasher, microwave and a good size fridge/freezer. Beds were very comfy-our children especially enjoyed the novelty of bunk beds. My only suggestion would be to have a better hoover- it was ok to pick up bits of grains of sand etc but it didn’t seem to work on the rug in the lounge or the mat at the front door (maybe something a bit more powerful).

- Emma, August 2023

Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback, it’s much appreciated. We are very pleased to hear you really enjoyed your stay in Louie's Loft, we will be sure to pass your suggestion onto the owner for their consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

“Gorgeous property!”

Well equipped with everything we needed , blinds are needed at the front bifold doors for privacy in the evening and balcony furniture would have been nice . Had a lovely stay

- Patricia, May 2023

Dear Patricia, We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and were supplied with everything that you needed for your stay. Regarding the balcony furniture, due to the bifolding doors, we wouldn't be able to supply any furniture that would allow the easy opening and closing of the doors. However, we hope that you can still enjoy the stunning views using the furniture provided at the front of the property. We hope to welcome you back to Cornwall in the near future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“One of our best St Ives stays!”

The property has been renovated to a very high standard with all the latest equipment. The block is very quiet and set back from the main road with its own front door. The direct beach access is a god send especially with young children. The best thing - the view from the balcony is amazing and we spent many an evening enjoying the sun set over the bay. Everything was as described and fully equipped for everything you would need. A couple of points to pick up for the owner - whilst the view from the balcony is divine - it can become overly bright and hot in the evenings so some blinds would be a welcome addition. We also found the window didn’t open in the bedroom which made it very stuffy (especially as the kids room has no windows so sleeping areas became very warm). A way of cooling the bedrooms will be v important - it was 15 degrees when we were there and the rooms were hot so in summer this will become uncomfortable. Overall - 5 Stars!! Definitely recommend for a family of 4 and location is unbeatable.

The property

This stylish apartment is located on the first level of a contemporary building in the well-known harbour city of St. Ives. Louies Loft is a first-rate getaway for a family of four looking to holiday in Cornwall and boasts expansive sea views across Porthmeor beach. As soon as you enter the flat and step into the open-concept living area, you will be lured to the breathtaking beach views. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, including premium hacienda black wood, Porcelanosa tiles, and Neff and Smeg equipment, making it the ideal space for families to prepare, cook, and enjoy meals together. At the dining room table, present the results of your labour before relaxing on the plush sofa and turning on the 55" Smart TV. Have a drink of your favourite beverage while watching the sunset from the balcony, which offers breathtaking views of the sea. In the cooler months, the glass doors make a beautiful backdrop for the living room. Go to the bedrooms, which include a king-size with a Smart TV and a bunk room, to rest. The shower room, which has gorgeous tiling and a rainfall shower, is accessible from both bedrooms via a Jack-and-Jill design. St. Ives Harbour, where you can spend the day people-watching and admiring the diversity of boats that draw into the dock, is only a short stroll away, and the Porthmeor Beach, a haven for watersports and surfing, is directly accessible from the property. The oldest pub in St. Ives, The Sloop Pub, is a must for lunch, and the Norwegian Shops, a short stroll from the home, offers a variety of delectable eateries and independent stores. Put on your hiking boots and hike the South West Coast Path before finding a pub in the heart of St. Ives for a cool drink and some food. There are also a tonne of amazing eateries to try, like Porthminster Beach Café, Pedn Olva, and The Rum & Crab Shack, which serves the catch of the day and has a sun deck. The Barbara Hepworth Museum's sculptures and the delights of Tate St. Ives should not be missed by art enthusiasts, while those looking for some entertainment should visit Paradise Park and Jungle Barn Cornwall for a fun day out. For a chic getaway to this busy Cornish location, pick Louies Loft.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
