) Cleaning was 5* The outside shower was a bonus and the fact it was warm was appreciated by my dog after a muddy or sandy walk. We would definitely recommend and would stay there again if visiting the area.

Extremely quiet location but within walking distance of grocery stores. I would definitely recommend staying here. St.Ives is only a short distance away but for something quieter Carbis Bay beach is perfect.
Irene
Lovely house . Everything was great comfortable as normal. Being picky think the shower needs a deep cleaning few spots on grout appearing and corners of tray. The internet was off a few days. And be careful with the road up house. Even tho i mentioned a few points I would highly recommend the house.
