Very clean and well equipped. Lovely views over the sea. The beach in Carbis bay is so beautiful. Not much else there unfortunately. The climb back to the accomodation is not for the faint hearted. You have to have a fair level of fitness. We were very impressed with the train service from Carbis bay to St Ives. Always punctual and so cheap. Just £2 return. There is also a good coastal path to walk to Stives as well. St Ives was very busy. If you plan to eat Out I suggest you pre book as everywhere was super busy.

The living area was so spacious, comfortable and had wonderful views. The open plan meant we could enjoy cooking, chatting and watching TV all together at the same time. The bedrooms were comfortable and had good storage. The shower was lovely and the bathroom roomy enough. It was close to the beach, so we could walk down for swim in the bay, or relax on the beach, and then wander back again. The parking was ideal and on level ground. The accommodation added to a wonderful week and was better than we even expected.
