We had a great holiday. Everything we needed was provided. Short walk to the beach, we were getting married at Carbis bay and the property was ideally located. The apartment felt spacious, a lovely place to get ready for our wedding.

Everything about this property is perfect from the location to the cleanliness of the apartment. There is so much space and the owners have thought of everything. Thank you again for an amazing holiday and we will definitely be back for a 3rd time.

The only thing we found wrong was that there was a definite temperature change when you walked downstairs to the main bedroom and a smell of damp. We found it a bit awkward at times with the kitchen utensils etc as they are all over the place, some in draws some in cupboards and some in the pantry. Maybe a re think on that might be useful. But we would definitely stay again
