“We found it frustrating as we couldn’t find the property as it wasn’t clearly posted on the building when we arrived, also the toilet was not cleaned properly when we arrived.”

Overall despite the things mentioned the apartment was everything we expected and more , the weather was kind to us despite going in the middle of November and would recommend this property any day of the week . Great view of the beach and plenty of public transport ready available … fantastic ..

“Uphill distance to parking disappointing.”

Part of the route was unpavemented along a through road. Discount at Harbour hotel a bonus.

- Brian, October 2023
Andy October 2023

“Excellent property that was spotless on arrival.”

A few small gifts left for guests along with milk and artisan dog biscuits. Perfect location just far enough away from the busy streets. Car park is just a short walk away uphill but plenty of room with a lockable post. Everything you will ever need in the well equipped kitchen. Can’t wait to go back.

Elizabeth April 2023

“We have just returned from a perfect stay at ‘The View’ and we had the best week.”

We normally always stay in carbis bay and get the branch line into St Ives, so this is the first time we stayed in St Ives. The location is just perfect, you are a short walk away from the town, which means it’s not as busy near the holiday apartment as the main town but you still only have the same short walk, like you would if you took the train. The apartment was beautiful and so comfortable. Everything was provided that you could think of needing and the bed was super comfy. We have already booked for next year and can’t wait to come back.

- Elizabeth, April 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback and comments following your stay at 'The View'! We are thrilled to hear you had a perfect stay and will be returning. We are looking forward to welcoming you back soon! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

Jane July 2022

“Lovely apartment and well situated for town and beach.”

The terrace is spacious with a view of the sea, although probably not the most private of spaces, as can be viewed from what is quite a busy road. The spa passes were a bonus. Overall, we had a very pleasant week in a comfortable and well equipped space.

Maud May 2022

“The flat is very comfortable and well equipped but the directions to find it need to be updated!”

The large parking area before the flats are best indicator as Harbour Hotel has been renamed! It does feel uncomfortable even to park to unload due to the £100 parking fine notices. The parking space for flat was welcome but it is NOT 5 mins away and it is a steep climb. The flat is on outskirts of St Ives and the climb from town to flat is significant. The Terrace is lovely but there is a busy road outside the flat and from the photo I expected the beach to be closer. The St Ives Hotel said that there is no spa though this was mentioned in information in flat!

- Maud, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear you found the directions hard to follow, we will review them and update. We are pleased to be able to offer a parking space but appreciate it is a little walk away from the apartment. We are pleased to hear you found the apartment comfortable and well equipped. We are always available during your stay for any queries or help. The Spa passes are for the HarSpa at Harbour Hotel, just opposite the apartment. Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

Jill March 2022

“We had a great holiday at The View.”

Very comfortable apartment, particularly the lounge chair and sofa. The apartment was very clean and well equipped.The parking space was very helpful, we only used the car once, because the apartment is close to the train station we visited Penzance and Hayle by train. We will definitely book The View again, and will recommend to friends and family.

Diane September 2021

“We have stayed at the View before and it’s a superb apartment.”

We have looked to book next year but the huge price increase will mean we won’t be booking. We are now thinking ( sad to say), we won’t be visiting St Ives ( we have stayed in St ives for the last 10 years)! The price of accommodation is now far too high .

- Diane, September 2021

Dear Ms. Clewes, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. In regard to the prices, there has been a huge demand for staycations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance. We hope to invite you back in the future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
Linda August 2021

“Slow draining wash basin in bathroom got worse over the week bathroom had 2 ceiling down lights with only 1 working these should be attended to before next guests arrival they are both obvious to the housekeeping but ignored we reported before we left in the hope it would be sorted for the next guests.”

We have stayed in this apartment a number of times love the position but unfortunately the massive increase in the price for 2022 is something we do not feel is justified or good value.

- Linda, August 2021

Dear Mr & Mrs Taylor, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. Firstly, we would like to apologise about the slow draining sink and the lights that had bulbs out. Whenever these issues arise during a stay, we endeavor to sort it as quickly and efficiently as possible to cause a little inconvenience as possible. We do understand the point your raised in regard to the housekeeper picking up on the issues, this will be fed back accordingly. In relation to the pricing, we would like to reassure you that the prices are continuously monitored and are reviewed regular, so please don't hesitate to look in the near future to see if there are any changes. We hope to welcome you back in the future, Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

“Great accommodation catered for all our needs .”

Ideally located great views from the balcony. One tip don't walk about living room naked . The level of the balcony and living quarters are at the same level of the open top double decker bus when passes by .

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at our apartment the views out to sea from the balcony are beautiful we love them too ! Property Owner
Kate June 2021

“Apartment was nice, loved the recliners.”

We had to purchase sink unblocker for the bath and basin in the bathroom. Hoover was blocked with pet hair. Previous guests took the St Ives Harbour spa passes home with them. It meant every time we went to the spa we had to explain this. Lots of noise from upstairs, sound proofing isn’t great.

““This is our 3rd visit to the apartment now ‘The View’ we have had a lovely stay.”

The new owners have made changes to soft furnishings + very nice pictures. All excellent improvements. We have booked again for next year. 2 other small improvements would make it perfect. Need to change bedroom to include drawer space would like to stay for 2 weeks but not enough storage. Also, very minor need a squeegee for shower screen. Also, Hayley is a credit to Carbis Bay Holidays so helpful. Apartment was spotless + nicely decorated. Used the spa 3 times in the week + hotel for food. Peter & Linda Taylor from Sheffield Owners response – Thank you for your comments. We have now reconfigured the bedroom to allow more storage for our guests.”
