A beautiful apartment. A lot of thought has gone into furnishings, linen and equipment. Have been visiting Carbis Bay most years since the 1950âs and Elanora is by far the best! A big thank you to Monika and the team who keep the apartment spick and span. We will be back next year. Jeff and Jane

We had absolutely everything we needed for our stay and the sea views were spectacular. The apartment was spotlessly clean, so hats off to the owners for facilities and housekeeper for cleaning everything so immaculately. Incredibly comfortable beds and linen, bath towels of excellent quality. Carbis Bay beach is just 5-10 mins walk (down quite a steep hill for those with disabilities or less able to walk - does have a car park £20 per day) which is a lovely and clean, dog free beach. St Ives a short train ride away for more choice of restaurants and beaches for a change of scenery. Again beaches seem to be no dogs allowed, which suited us as a family with young children. Watch out for the hungry sea gulls if you get fish and chips :) Harbour Cafe and Tala Thai in St Ives two great restaurants. We hope to stay again in Carbis Bay, and would definitely stay in this apartment!
